Your Birthday | November 17th, 2016

Born today, you have a knack for keeping things in order, organizing and determining just what to do at any given time to maximize both your financial power and the intangible rewards made available to you through your many endeavors. You are straightforward, businesslike and always honest -- or at the very least, you do not exaggerate either good or bad fortune. You tell it like it is, and that is a great benefit to you and to those around you. Even though you are most at home when dealing with the hard-and-fast realities of the world around you, you do have a creative bent that will see you do quite unexpected and extraordinary things when given the opportunity. Indeed, you may surprise many with the creative choices you make in life.

You know how to run things, how to make money and how to spend it wisely. Indeed, what can't you do if you work hard to develop these natural abilities to their fullest? You have great potential, and you can do many things that others cannot. This is likely to present numerous romantic options to you again and again.

Also born on this date are: Lauren Hutton, actress; Daisy Fuentes, television personality; Danny DeVito, actor and producer; Lorne Michaels, producer; Gordon Lightfoot, singer-songwriter; Martin Scorsese, filmmaker; Roland Joffe, filmmaker; Peter Cook, actor and comedian.

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 16th, 2016

Born today, you have been blessed with the ability to see the future -- perhaps literally, for your ability to anticipate likely events is virtually unmatched by anyone else born under your sign. Indeed, when you were young, you likely attracted a great deal of attention for your accurate decrees and creative prognostications. Others learned very quickly to listen to what you had to say, for there was always a grain of truth in even the most outrageous, unlikely or outlandish of predictions. You soon learned to use this rare skill to your advantage -- even when you can't see the future, you can make the best of any situation simply by trusting in experience and instinct to see you through.

You can be a creative and entertaining storyteller. Indeed, most of your stories are pulled from your own busy life, which has been accented by many remarkable endeavors and accomplishments. Others enjoy learning from you, and many are eager to follow in your footsteps, if only they can keep up!

Also born on this date are: Oksana Baiul, Olympic figure skater; Lisa Bonet, actress; Martha Plimpton, actress; Burgess Meredith, actor; Maggie Gyllenhaal, actress; Diana Krall, singer; Marg Helgenberger, actress.

Your Birthday for November 15, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 15th, 2016

Born today, you are never able to keep the attention off of yourself if that's where it's turning. Indeed, once you find yourself in the spotlight, you're likely to remain in it for quite some time, for you trigger something in those around you that makes them want to watch you, listen to you and see what you will do next. You have what it takes to command a wide audience -- even those who do not agree with your opinions. Indeed, your vibrant personality is likely to open many doors, but you must always remember that you and your abilities will eventually be put to the test. If you cannot prove yourself, then you will likely be ostracized by the very people who supported you in the first place. You must always appear capable.

You like to be in the thick of things, and you will always seek out situations that allow you to keep busy. To you, staying busy is what life is all about! Whether you are working alone or with others, the wheels are always turning, and you are always on the lookout for your next opportunity or outlet.

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