Your Birthday for November 24, 2015

Your Birthday | November 24th, 2015

Born today, you combine great physical and mental prowess. Throughout your life, you may experience many ongoing battles between these two powerful forces that are, in truth, not always at your disposal or under your control! Indeed, there are times when your instinctive self completely takes over, and whether that will lend itself to physical or intellectual pursuits is anyone's guess, for you can never tell which will be favored at any given time. You must therefore learn to recognize which aspect of your personality is rising to dominance in time to use it -- and its attendant skills -- to your advantage. Otherwise, you will always be at the mercy of uncontrollable rhythms and energies.

You have two tendencies that may well put you in danger more than a few times during your life: overindulgence and combativeness. One threatens your physical self -- your body and its systems; the other threatens your intellectual mastery by giving you over to conflict.

Also born on this date are: Katherine Heigl, actress; William F. Buckley Jr., columnist and television host; Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Mafia boss; Scott Joplin, composer; Colin Hanks, actor; Zachary Taylor, U.S. president.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have trouble scheduling your day completely, as there are certain variables you haven't quite gotten a handle on yet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now is a good time for you to approach someone about an idea you've been keeping to yourself for some time. He or she will be interested.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll want to learn more about someone who has been drifting on the periphery for a few days. There may be something developing here.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may find yourself attracted to someone who seems to have little or nothing in common with you. Perhaps that's the attraction!

Your Birthday for November 23, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 23rd, 2015

Born today, you get a very long way on affability and charm. Fortunately, you have also been endowed with some remarkable talents and the tenacity required to see you through when your personality simply isn't enough. You are the kind of person who is instantly recognizable, and even those who don't know you well feel as though they do, for there is something about you that promotes the idea of intimacy even where it doesn't exist or isn't possible. You can be quite emotional, and there are times when you choose to withdraw from society to deal with your own inner demons -- or, on the flip side, to indulge in behavior that may not be good for you, or may even be quite harmful.

You don't always follow the rules, and while this can attract a great deal of attention, it isn't always the kind of attention you want! Still, you will behave as you choose, come what may, for you are nothing if not singular and special. You know how to express yourself, though not always in ways that others readily understand.

Also born on this date are: Miley Cyrus, singer and actress; Bruce Hornsby, singer-songwriter; Harpo Marx, comedian; Boris Karloff, actor; Billy the Kid, Old West outlaw; Franklin Pierce, U.S. president; Chris Hardwick, comedian and media personality.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A period of observation is ending, and you'll be expected to take part like everyone else. You have much to offer, and you're ready.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An expression of appreciation can be expected, but it's likely to come at a rather odd time, and in an unusual form.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your job is far from done, and you'll have the chance to demonstrate that you're still ready for anything.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Something that appears as if by magic is worth closer study. What you learn is likely to challenge your way of thinking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Others are likely to ask you about today's experiences, and what they mean over the long term. Your answers may surprise you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're ready to do for others what you've long been planning to do, but don't begin before all preparations are made.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can share something with others that has them thinking maybe, just maybe, you and they have a great deal in common.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Don't assume everything is going to transpire as you were told it would. Put yourself in another's shoes, and you'll see how things are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll likely have more than your own peace of mind to look after. A creative solution is at hand.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to be more patient than usual with someone who is trying to catch up on some very important learning.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your opinion of something -- or someone -- is likely to be altered when circumstances do not stack up as expected.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're eager to know with greater clarity where you're headed -- but certain information may not be available.

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.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The more helpful you are to others, the more help you will get in return -- even if you do not think you need it right now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may not get what you need from the same old locations, so you may want to travel some distance and explore new terrain.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Cooperation comes naturally to you -- but not to everyone. You'll want to pick your team with care so you can avoid bad apples.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You must pay attention to all the little things. Someone who claims to know you well will make an error in judgment that you can fix.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can introduce someone to a new way of doing things. In the process, you may learn a few important new lessons yourself.
