Your Birthday for November 22, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 22nd, 2015

Born today, you are a study in learning and evolution. You are always developing and growing as a result of your encounters with individuals and situations that were not previously known to you. Indeed, your single greatest skill is one that allows you to absorb and assimilate information almost immediately. This, in turn, allows you to adapt to situations in a way that seems virtually effortless and instantaneous. Of course, that's only the perception; you know better than anyone that it takes continual effort to stay on top of your own development. You must always pay attention to what is going on in your own life and, quite often, in the lives of those around you as well.

You are strong-willed, tenacious and resilient; you know how to put on a brave front when faced with difficult situations. This not only promotes the idea that you have everything under control, but it actually enables you to muster the strength you need to exert that control over your own life. Appearances can, indeed, turn into reality!

Also born on this date are: Scarlett Johansson, actress; Mariel Hemingway, actress; Jamie Lee Curtis, actress; Billie Jean King, tennis player; Robert Vaughn, actor; Rodney Dangerfield, comedian; Benjamin Britten, composer; Hoagy Carmichael, songwriter; Charles de Gaulle, French military leader and president; Abigail Adams, U.S. first lady.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Not everyone will understand or appreciate your sense of humor. You may want to keep the best jokes to yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It only takes once to do something that can be long remembered -- as long as you are in the right place at the right time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may claim to know better than anyone about what is quickly developing, but the fact is that you're caught in a whirlwind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- While operating according to certain preconceptions, you can do things in a new way that is a direct response to the day's events.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be able to provide someone with the necessary components of a piece of work he or she has been dealing with for some time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to feel a pressure that is exerted from many sources, but you can remain autonomous if you truly believe in yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- As the day begins, you are sure of yourself and the decisions you are making. Later, you may have reason to doubt -- temporarily.

Your Birthday for November 21, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 21st, 2015

Born today, you are one of the most positive and inspirational individuals born under your sign. Your ability to lift others out of their own ruts, routines and doldrums is sure to win you friendship after friendship and the admiration of an ever wider array of people throughout your lifetime. Indeed, you are just the person others come to when they are down and out, and you respond not only with words of kindness and encouragement, but with advice about what to do next and how to solve problems on a long-term or even permanent basis. Your ability to see to the heart of an issue is almost unequaled; you know just what is going on when the out of the ordinary happens -- and you know how to address it.

Are you this adept at keeping your own personal life on the straight and narrow? Of course not! You too need the timely assistance of others now and then -- but while you can surely get it, you may not always accept it. This is the one mistake you may make again and again. Don't turn down help when it is offered you!

Also born on this date are: Ken Griffey Jr., baseball player; Troy Aikman, football player; Cherry Jones, actress; Goldie Hawn, actress; Juliet Mills, actress; Marlo Thomas, actress; Stan Musial, baseball player; Voltaire, satirist.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- While others are able to do what you want to be doing, you may be left at home to tend to domestic affairs. Your time will come, surely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A pattern of behavior may have to be broken before you can really reach a higher plane. A mentor is eager to see you take certain steps.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're in charge of more than your own emotional well-being, but those around you mustn't yet know just how much control you wield.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're likely to receive an invitation of sorts that has you thinking twice about the direction of things over the next few days or weeks.

Your Birthday for November 20, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 20th, 2015

Born today, you are highly protective -- of yourself, your loved ones and those who place their faith and trust in you. You are not the kind to let anyone down -- least of all yourself. You are highly principled and often quite stubborn when it comes to accepting another's point of view. Still, you can listen to reason, and you know it is important to do so because you can then understand the opposition and argue your own point of view with greater confidence and effectiveness. You love to be in the fray, and when you find yourself in the thick of things, you rely on instinct and skill to see you through -- hoping all the while for just the right amount of good luck, too!

Like many Scorpio natives, you enjoy the game -- whatever it may be. You like being competitive, but you always maintain an uncommon level of fairness; others enjoy engaging in competition with you for this reason. You're a good sport, always a good loser and an even better winner!

Also born on this date are: Bo Derek, actress; Veronica Hamel, actress; Joe Biden, U.S. vice president; Dick Smothers, comedian; Richard Dawson, actor and game show host; Estelle Parsons, actress; Robert F. Kennedy, U.S. politician; Alistair Cooke, author and television host; Edwin Hubble, astronomer; Sean Young, actress; Ming-Na Wen, actress; Joel McHale, actor and comedian.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can get in your own way simply by acting without thinking things through. This can cause a major, far-reaching slowdown.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may see or hear something that stops you in your tracks. Focus on keeping everything in the proper perspective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may find that those around you are resistant to the kind of change you've been advocating. Perhaps you must teach by example.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you are trying to do isn't for everyone, and it may be tricky to find the kind of support you really need. Don't give up!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- As the day wears on and you and others begin to feel the effects of fatigue, quality control will become an unavoidable issue.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find yourself far from home. If this is part of a plan, fine; but if not, you'll want to determine just how you got where you are!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're not going to want anything to happen by accident. You must persuade someone that your way is, indeed, the best way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're waiting for someone else to call the shots, but he or she doesn't have all the information you do. It may be up to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- An early start will enable you to get on top of a situation that otherwise might get the better of you. You must remain in control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can get a great deal of important work done before anyone else even knows you're on the case. Your entry point may change.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to get started on something that just a few days ago might have seemed overwhelming. Your attitude is just right, at last.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Avoid doing anything that might rub someone else the wrong way, as he or she isn't likely to forget it any time soon. Nor are you!
