Your Birthday for November 15, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 15th, 2015

Born today, you are the kind of individual who keeps plugging away at a chosen task until you have reached a level of expertise that cannot be challenged or bettered. Indeed, when you stick to something long enough, it is more than likely that you will be considered not "an" expert, but "the" expert -- the one others look to for guidance, instruction and feedback. You have a tenacity that will allow you to hang on through thick and thin. You're not one to balk at trouble or difficulty, and you will charge ahead regardless of any apparent danger so long as you have your native talents to rely on and your instincts to trust.

You see things from a point of view that is considered unusual by most others, and this can result in some contentious interaction when you come up against someone who doesn't understand how you see the world. Fortunately, you believe that there is room for all kinds, and you are one of the most tolerant individuals born under your sign.

Also born on this date are: Georgia O'Keeffe, artist; Petula Clark, actress and singer; Sam Waterston, actor; Ed Asner, actor; Joseph Wapner, judge; Felix Frankfurter, Supreme Court justice; Shailene Woodley, actress.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're trying too hard to do things quickly. The most important thing is accuracy, which haste can make difficult or impossible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Getting from here to there may prove more difficult and time-consuming than expected. Rethink your mode of transportation, perhaps.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Too many cooks will result in confusion. Someone must be in charge, to call the shots and determine how well an endeavor is progressing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Use caution when you are forced to navigate dangerous waters. Keep your primary goal firmly in mind, and streamline your process.

Your Birthday for November 14, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 14th, 2015

Born today, you are confident, secure and decisive. You will rarely change your mind once you have settled on something -- provided, of course, you have been given enough pertinent and up-to-date information upon which to formulate your thoughts and make up your mind in the first place. You have tremendous skill when it comes to seeing things the way they really are and using them to your advantage; you aren't the kind to sit back and wait for things to get better before you take action. You will strike while the iron is hot, whether or not prevailing circumstances are favorable to your efforts. You are confident that you can overcome any obstacles.

You enjoy travel, and the process of getting from here to there provides you with perhaps the greatest pleasure in life. You enjoy seeing new places, meeting new people and learning about their culture and way of life. You don't enjoy being a mere tourist, however; you want to experience things like a native.

Also born on this date are: Veronica Lake, actress; Yanni, musician; Aaron Copland, composer; Brian Keith, actor; Claude Monet, painter; Robert Fulton, inventor; Josh Duhamel, actor; Patrick Warburton, actor.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's important for you to know who is in charge. It may be you -- and if that's the case, you must wield your authority with care.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Communication is sure to be an issue. You may have to say some things more than once before the message gets across.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have an opportunity to share an opinion without any repercussions -- even if it proves to be quite unpopular.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You've been far too resistant for far too long. You'll be relieved to spot an opportunity to relax and let things happen around you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Someone is likely to recommend something you may not like, even when you give it a fair trial. This has no significant or lasting meaning.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be tempted to do what you have been told not to do -- but take care! You ignore this and other warnings at your peril.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Following another's progress may prove quite inspiring. Soon you'll be trying to do something you've never done before.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may think that you're doing something all on your own, but the fact is that you're receiving help on the sly from an unknown source.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your observations are usually keen, but you may be missing the boat regarding something that will have an impact on you and yours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can follow the rules and still explore methods that are very much your own. You can capitalize on a mistake.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Grant someone a little leeway, and you must be ready for others to ask for the same consideration. Know when enough is enough!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are likely to spot a new and previously unexplored path that you can follow. Dangers should be few and far between.

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.
