Your Birthday for November 26, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 26th, 2014

Born today, you seem to know the difference between right and wrong, but that doesn't always stop you from doing what you know to be wrong when what is right could be just as easy -- and, perhaps, win you greater results. The truth is, you are drawn to the dark side, to doing things that may challenge the common notion of what is right, appropriate, suitable and acceptable. You do what you want to do, regardless of the rules -- and regardless of what anyone else may think about it! You appreciate and understand human frailty -- your own, perhaps, more than anyone else's -- and that appreciation and understanding will surely serve you well.

You have a creative streak that is likely to lead you down some very interesting roads and manifest itself in activities and accomplishments that are far from the mainstream. You can enjoy the social scene, but you prefer small groups of intimate friends. Above all, you enjoy working alone, relying on no one else for your success.

Also born on this date are: Robert Goulet, singer and actor; Eric Sevareid, journalist; Charles Schulz, cartoonist; Rich Little, impressionist; Roz Chast, cartoonist.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are ready to tell others what they need to hear, but you must first be sure that they will understand where you are coming from.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Putting things as plainly as possible surely gets you off in the right direction, as things will become complicated later on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Give others what they want, and they'll be comfortable. Give them what they need, and they may balk at first, but they'll be forever grateful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are not able to look into the future and see things as accurately as you might like, but you'll get a hint that you can decipher, surely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're able to do things more quickly than expected, but you may not know exactly why. Explore all possible reasons, but don't expect answers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Current developments are likely the result of subtle trends that you might have missed in the past.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can examine carefully something that, in retrospect, is much clearer than it was when you were going through it at the time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Yes, you're able to do precisely what you had hoped you would do. As a result, you'll have some free time on your hands.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- More responsibility than expected is likely to fall to you, but you're ready for it, and more. You can lead by example.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- There's no reason to think that you can't do what you've been assigned, but there's no reason to think it will be easy, either!

Your Birthday for November 25, 2014

Your Birthday | November 25th, 2014

Born today, you seem to have everything going for you. Like many Sagittarius natives, you are likely to enjoy more than one lengthy lucky streak in your life -- in your case, these can actually be life-defining. You are upstanding, straightforward, loyal and stalwart; you do not give up on a project -- or a person -- simply because things get difficult. You are certain to be noticed for all that is good in your nature, but those who know you best may be able to point to certain aspects of your character that are not quite as admirable, such as your temper or your ability to overlook an obvious truth because you have made up your mind that the opposite is indeed the case.

Yes, you can be stubborn, and this stubbornness can bring you hardship, but it can also make it possible for you to make your dreams come true. You're not the kind to abandon an idea, project, journey or relationship merely because it is more convenient to do so. Once you decide on a thing, it is, for you, a fait accompli.

Also born on this date are: Christina Applegate, actress; Amy Grant, singer; Carry Nation, activist; John F. Kennedy Jr., publisher; Joe DiMaggio, baseball player; Ricardo Montalban, actor; John Larroquette, actor; Karl F. Benz, auto maker.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The endgame begins today. When all is said and done, you'll want to know that you've done your best and contributed something valuable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now is the time for you to stop the progress of something that is moving in the wrong direction. Be ready! Others may question you at first.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone else may think that you are simply giving him or her a hard time when, in fact, you're offering some rare and valuable guidance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're seeking something that has been hidden from others for quite some time, so what makes you think it will reveal itself to you?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll have the chance to get extra work done, though not in the way that you usually do. Be ready to jump at a rare opportunity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The time has come for you to get away from something that brings you down. Open yourself up to more positive possibilities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may be attracted to one who does things very differently from you, but what is really going on may surprise you. Follow up if you dare.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The way you speak to another may surprise even you. Perhaps you are sending some hidden messages, in code.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You know what another wants from you, but you're not in the mood to give it. Or perhaps you want to give it to someone else!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A question of trust is likely to arise, and out of it, a question that can best be answered by one who knows you inside and out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A chain reaction of sorts has you taking evasive action. What happens when the day is done will determine your own next course.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You don't want to reveal so much that someone else is afraid to get closer to you -- after all, that's what you want in the end!

Your Birthday for November 24, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 24th, 2014

Born today, you have been endowed with a great many seemingly contradictory traits, yet you are able to balance these quite well to promote your own agenda successfully and pursue the things you want with confidence and style. You are also an unusually lucky individual, and you may enjoy several major successes in life that you cannot explain in any other way than to say, "I was lucky." You must take care, however, that you never brag about your good fortune; you must speak of it in a down-to-earth, though never self-deprecating, manner in order to keep others from becoming envious of what comes your way -- or of you in general. No matter how good things may be for you, you must try to remain modest.

You aren't likely to go unnoticed; indeed, you have what it takes to attract a great many admirers into your circle. Most of these may be people who hardly know you at all, yet they feel some kind of kinship with you that is, to you, perhaps quite a mystery.

Also born on this date are: Katherine Heigl, actress; Colin Hanks, actor; Stephen Merchant, screenwriter, actor, and comedian; William F. Buckley Jr., writer and publisher; Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Mafia boss; Scott Joplin, composer; Zachary Taylor, U.S. president.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll be in hot pursuit of something that you have set your sights on quite some time ago, but now it's closer than ever.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll have the chance to share your opinions, but more than that, you'll also be able to discover something unexpected about yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're allowing someone else to do what you would never consider doing yourself. Is this really what you wanted? Make adjustments.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may derive more benefit out of disagreement than you usually do out of agreement and concord. The work is hard, but worth it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A career choice comes upon you, but you may feel as though you cannot be firm or certain until you get another's immediate input.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The same old thing may not be very good for you. While it may be hard to spot, a newer, healthier option is available.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may find yourself giving up on a plan that you have formulated over quite some time. It's only because you've gotten frustrated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Yes, it's that time again -- you mustn't close your eyes to what you must do. Certain new opportunities are likely to arise by day's end.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can be part of a big surprise -- one that does more than surprise, but benefits another in a way that nothing else can.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Once you get started, you'll find that you pass all the required markers and signposts more quickly than expected. This is a breeze!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to get away from what you have to do and dive into something you want to do with a friend or loved one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be anticipating something in a negative light, but once it is upon you, you're likely to find it to be quite enjoyable.
