Born today, you are witty, positive and always on the lookout for a bright new opportunity, whether personal or professional. You focus your attention on both these aspects almost equally; you understand that you cannot enjoy the kind of personal life you want without pursuing professional success, and likewise, your professional success depends in large part upon your ability to maintain a balanced personal life. You are always willing to trust those who have earned it, but you don't like to take risks in that regard; you treat anyone you do not know with a cautious respect -- especially in your business affairs.
You are able to work well alone or in groups, but those groups had better not be too big, for when too many people are contributing to a common effort, you can become impatient and unwilling to cooperate, choosing instead to break off and go it alone.
Also born on this date are: Tara Reid, actress; Parker Posey, actress; Leif Garrett, actor and singer; Mary Hart, television personality; Bonnie Raitt, singer and musician; Morley Safer, journalist; Margaret Mitchell, novelist.
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.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don't simply bark orders to others; you must instead give instructions that are clear and detailed.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The time has come for you to speak up about an issue of which you have firsthand knowledge. You can do so with confidence.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may not have perfect timing, but you can still get things done by maintaining a positive attitude and a creative approach.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're eager to see where things will lead you. You recognize that not everything can be controlled, but you can make that work.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A false start can set you back quite a bit. It's better to get off the blocks a little late than to jump the gun.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be in the mood for adventure -- if you trust a loved one, you'll surely have it. Evening presents an unusual choice.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're feeling confident and eager to tackle some big issues. A friend has your back, so you can take a few calculated risks, perhaps.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You don't want to be taking orders from anyone, but the fact is that you are certainly answerable to a particular individual.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your job is to deliver the goods on time and under budget. You've accepted the challenge, and you can surely come through.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Practice makes perfect -- usually. You may have trouble putting all the pieces into place and getting the results you want.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Take care not to do anything that will attract the attention of the authorities. You must follow the rules at all times.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're far more interested in what you think of yourself than in what others may think of you. This approach enables you to improve dramatically.
