Your Birthday for November 21, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 21st, 2016

Born today, you are better able to look at things from a technical point of view than others born under your sign, and this is sure to give you the advantage when you are required to learn the mechanics of an endeavor, for you are more than able to figure out what is required from a step-by-step point of view than anyone else. Once you have learned something, it sticks; you're not the kind to forget facts, figures or how to do something. You have been blessed with physical ability that you will want to make the best possible use of in your daily life, and you're not one to enjoy just sitting at a desk or cubicle, working away in front of a computer screen. You want to be up and about, working your muscles, using your breath and keeping your blood flowing swiftly.

You don't always have to play a leading role; indeed, you do some of your best work in the background, supporting those who are front and center. Still, when called upon to step forward and enter the spotlight, you know how to shine very brightly, indeed -- though perhaps not for long periods of time.

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

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll want to reverse a trend that is hurting you and your family. It may be time for you to take a new and aggressive stance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are likely to have had your fill of the same old arguments. Instead, you'll get the chance to make significant changes for everyone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It may be time for you to blow your own horn, even though you aren't naturally one to do so. But there are still things that need to be said.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your ability to see the big picture will propel you to the fore, but that is a position you may not want to be in just yet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can use past efforts to demonstrate your commitment and abilities. You may still attract criticism, however, as you can't please everyone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be making things easier for your opponents without knowing it. It's time to buckle down and do only what is necessary to be effective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can use facts to support your views in ways that are fair or unfair -- the decision is up to you. You know what must be done.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The way you talk about your accomplishments may raise some eyebrows. Be sure that you are telling the truth, and nothing but.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can take advantage of certain loopholes, but is that going to put you in the position that you wish to be in? Rethink your plans.

Your Birthday for November 20, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 20th, 2016

Born today, you not only feel things very deeply yourself, but you are also able to slip under the skin of another and feel what he or she is feeling as well. This kind of empathy is very rare, indeed, but it is so much a part of your makeup that you are quite unable to turn it off when you would like to. To say you take things personally is an understatement in the extreme! You are a student of human nature, and you will always study closely the actions of others to determine not only what they hope to gain from what they are doing, but also the emotional roots of the behavior. You don't like knowing things on the surface only; you want to know the inner workings of everything -- especially the people around you.

You are often inspired by the successes of others, and while you know you can't very well walk in the shoes of everyone you meet, you do enjoy trying new things through the perspective of others whenever you have the chance. There are times, however, when it would be better to try something original than to do only what others have done.

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, politician; Alistair Cooke, author and television host; Edwin Hubble, astronomer; Ming-Na Wen, actress; Joel McHale, actor and comedian.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not be aware of the damage being done by someone whose thoughtlessness is inexplicable -- until that damage affects you directly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now is the time for you to do some extra research so that you know what you need to know in time to put that knowledge to good use!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be at loggerheads with someone who sees things very differently from you. Genuine emotions yield a genuine answer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are searching for something that you feel must be in plain sight, but someone close to you disagrees with that notion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- What appears to be an accident may prove, before the day is out, to be the result of someone's intentional behavior.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Once you are on the case, those who are trying to hide the truth will have little chance of prevailing in their deception.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you don't know can indeed hurt you, but you may learn what you need to know by rereading recent correspondence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're in a position of authority, whether you know it or not. There are some who will come to you for more than you usually provide.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your explanation of certain events may not be entirely in sync with the official version, but the difference is not your doing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have several good reasons for thinking that things will turn out differently from what all signs seem to point to right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're going to have a lot to sort through as you try to make a decision that mustn't go against the wishes of a special someone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're on the verge of something very big, but you may be nervous about taking those last few steps in the right direction. Why?

Your Birthday for November 19, 2016

Your Birthday | November 19th, 2016

Born today, you prefer to learn by doing, and that means that you will often repeat doing something you have done before in order to improve your performance and maximize your rewards. You are never afraid of failure, for you know that it is the surest route to learning and, ultimately, expertise. You don't enjoy the fall that follows a stumble any more than anyone else would, but you know you will pick yourself up again and strive once more to be the best that you can be. You don't take things personally, and when you are injured -- accidentally or otherwise -- you can be counted on to take the high road. You're not one to hold a grudge.

You can take pleasure in both personal delights and professional accomplishments, and you get a special thrill when you are able to do something others have not been able to do before you. Forging a new path is always exciting to you, though it's something you may do only rarely.

Also born on this date are: Ryan Howard, baseball player; Kerri Strug, Olympic gymnast; Jodie Foster, actress; Meg Ryan, actress; Calvin Klein, designer; Ted Turner, television mogul; Adam Driver, actor; Dick Cavett, talk show host; Larry King, journalist; Indira Gandhi, Indian prime minister; Tommy Dorsey, bandleader; James Garfield, U.S. president.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What you are currently sharing with a loved one is far more than either of you might have expected -- but it is surely satisfying.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Even in these strange times, you won't have to make any kind of commitment that you wouldn't want to make under normal circumstances.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be surprised to learn what someone is thinking where you are concerned. There's more going on than meets the eye!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's a good day for putting all your cards on the table. The more emotional the issue, the more others are likely to follow your lead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your approach is quite different from that of a primary rival, and those two opposing strategies will soon be put to the test.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Others will wait for you to express yourself openly and honestly after you are put through something that never should have happened.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can do much to increase the safety level in and around your home. Focus on the needs of a younger family member during evening hours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your confidence will be on display all day long. When you need to give a little extra to a friend, you'll be able to do that, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- If a certain someone knew what you were planning, he or she would very likely try to stand in your way -- but that's not going to happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are getting under someone's skin, and he or she is willing to do something that no one else has ever done for you before.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You know how to manipulate the system in order to maximize gains, but you might want to do it for someone else's benefit this time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're ready to go where you most want to go, but you may have to delay once more as a result of environmental influences.
