Your Birthday | November 13th, 2015

Born today, you are always thinking that things could -- and should -- be better than they are, but this never leaves you in a funk. Instead, it inspires you to do great works and accomplish as much as you can -- even transform the world, or at least your corner of it, into the Utopia you think it must be! You have the Midas touch, in that you are able to take even the most unfortunate situation and turn it to your advantage. What you must learn, of course, is how to use this rare and remarkable skill to benefit others as well as yourself. Do this, and you can surely take your place among the greats who will be long remembered for their good works and positive impact on the world.

You have a vivid sense of humor, which colors virtually every endeavor you become engaged in -- yet at the same time, you maintain a serious approach and outlook and present yourself in such a way that it quickly becomes clear to others that you are not to be trifled with -- indeed, you rarely are!

Also born on this date are: Hermione Baddeley, actress; Whoopi Goldberg, comedian and actress; Jean Seberg, actress; Joe Mantegna, actor; Robert Louis Stevenson, author; Garry Marshall, producer and director; Chris Noth, actor.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Focus on the goal you have set for yourself. Are you being realistic? This and other questions must be answered as soon as possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You have every reason to think that you are on the right track, but you may have the sneaking suspicion that all is not as it seems.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you see outside your window can prove inspirational. It's not always something special that can provide just what you need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you're trying to accomplish is likely to win you a great deal of attention, but not all of it will be praise and admiration.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be trying to get someone to be more flexible and responsive, but you can actually afford to be more so yourself -- with everyone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have the feeling that you've missed something important, but you don't have to skip it altogether. Better late than never!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may feel as though time is short, but in fact you have more than you thought to get a certain endeavor underway. Even so, don't delay!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You may be vacillating between two extremes, when the best course is, in fact, one of moderation that can be found somewhere in the middle.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're going to want to add some spice to the day's routine. Someone arrives on the scene who can help you do just that.

Your Birthday for November 12, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 12th, 2015

Born today, you are content to go about your business with a kind of understated elegance that actually enables you to do a great deal without being noticed -- until you want to be. You have a kind of "come from behind" mentality and style that enable you to take full advantage of any opportunity as it arises. You are never in a hurry, and you never risk doing too much too soon or weaken your position by showing your hand. You will not deplete your resources before you're truly ready to make a strong showing. Patience is perhaps your greatest virtue; you know that when your time comes, you will make the best of it. Until then, you will work tirelessly to prepare for the day when you are able to step into the spotlight.

You have an inner strength that is matched by mental fortitude, and you are able to withstand a great deal of hardship over a long period of time. You are attractive, yet somehow mysterious to members of the opposite sex, who always have you in their sights without having the slightest notion of how to approach you!

Also born on this date are: Nadia Comaneci, Olympic gymnast; Grace Kelly, actress and princess of Monaco; Kim Hunter, actress; Neil Young, rocker; Al Michaels, sportscaster; Auguste Rodin, sculptor; Sammy Sosa, baseball player; Anne Hathaway, actress.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A collaborative effort comes off without a hitch, though your big secret is the amount of preparation you did on your own!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can connect with others on a new level. What worked for you in the past may not be enough. Seek a more original outlet for creativity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- All you have to do is add to or subtract from what is already in existence to make it fit your needs. You don't have to start from scratch.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Are you ready to jump into a new project with enthusiasm? Your overall attitude may prove to be the single most important component.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What you do on your own will prove more important to the group than anything you do in tandem with someone else.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're going through a subtle change that has far-reaching ramifications. This is nothing you can't deal with, but it takes getting used to.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The day dawns with an air of high expectation -- but is that merely wishful thinking? Probably not! You do have something big in the making.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're going to have to keep careful track of the time, lest you lose a moment that could otherwise be used to your advantage.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can build up quite a head of steam and finish your assigned duties well ahead of schedule. This can prove a needed boost!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll want to avoid judging anyone harshly lest you also be judged harshly in return. You're more understanding than that!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You've been putting up with a certain situation long enough -- and today you'll have the chance to do something about it once and for all.

Your Birthday for November 11, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 11th, 2015

Born today, you are stylish, graceful and always supportive of those closest to you. You are also ambitious, highly intelligent and quick to anger -- especially when you or one of your inner circle has been wronged or deprived of something in an underhanded or illicit fashion. You don't take kindly to offense, yet when you understand the situation fully, you can be quick to forgive -- even if you will not likely ever forget! You are content to be in the background as long as your work behind the scenes is yielding results. You are quick to step into the spotlight when the time comes, however! You work best as part of a team -- but only if you can be honest at all times.

You may sometimes overstep your bounds, and the embarrassment that results may well be considerable -- but it's unlikely to be anything from which you cannot recover. You will surely get used to eating humble pie now and then -- as it will be necessary whenever you go too far.

Also born on this date are: Demi Moore, actress; Barbara Boxer, U.S. senator; Leonardo DiCaprio, actor; Jonathan Winters, comedian; Kurt Vonnegut Jr., author; George S. Patton, U.S. military leader; Calista Flockhart, actress; Stanley Tucci, actor.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're in no mood to entertain someone else's whim. You want to involve yourself in something serious and lasting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may find yourself embroiled in a conflict that has you doing something you otherwise would have avoided.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can save the day, but take care that you're not actually prolonging a situation that would eventually be resolved on its own.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may choose to pull out all the stops and present yourself in high style. This is about more than just making a first impression, surely!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An important anniversary is fast approaching, and you'll have the opportunity to prepare a surprise that will be long remembered.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're not going to want to continue along the same lines if the reactions you're getting are not what you anticipated.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A secret is revealed. You have more at stake than a loved one might suppose, and he or she may make the difference between success and failure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're trying to figure out a problem that is at the center of a personal endeavor. Your creative vision serves you well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll need more time than expected to learn to juggle two competing responsibilities. It won't happen overnight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to hang on to something that connects you, if only in spirit, to one who is no longer by your side. The connection is strong!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may find yourself agreeing to terms that are not entirely beneficial to you -- but one thing you'll get is worth all the rest.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- An agreement can be reached between you and someone who has been on the opposing side for quite some time.
