Your Birthday for November 22, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 22nd, 2016

Born today, you are likely to have been blessed with all manner of opportunities when young, but what is far more important is that you were also endowed with talent and the desire to make the best use of it. This has enabled you to exploit your good fortune in ways few others ever do. You have a sense of your own destiny, and you are never likely to be in doubt as to what you are supposed to be doing with your life. It is as if you are continually being sent signs that point the way, telling you how best to proceed in order to maximize your rewards and contentment -- and it is the latter that is most important to you! You must feel fulfilled, or all the money in the world will not make you happy.

You are attracted to issues that are considered important by most everyone; you want to be where things are happening that will affect the greatest number of people in the most profound ways. You are not one to be happy sitting on the sidelines; you want to be involved and to make a difference as best you can.

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

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others may think that you are studying up and preparing for what comes, but you're far more likely to approach things in a looser fashion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're eager to show others that your way is best, but you may encounter a few stumbling blocks that slow you down for a while.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll want to go in a different direction very soon, but you don't quite know how to lay out your plans in a productive fashion -- yet.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Having your supporters around you will make a difference before and after the main event, but you'll be on your own as the sparks fly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be misreading someone's signals. Make sure that you are dealing with facts, and not assumptions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Experience has taught you that things are sometimes not what they seem, but there's no reason to assume that this is always the case.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You and a friend can work together to do something that will win a great deal of praise from those who are in the know.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your best approach is to avoid anything that has been established to trip you up. Your opponents are eager for you to take a wrong turn.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You want to hear certain things from someone, but he or she isn't likely to oblige until you are willing to share something first.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone you've known professionally is eager to have you go to bat for him or her when the time comes. Do you have to be cautious?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Others may be eager to take advantage of something that you don't think is a good idea. This will set you apart for quite some time.

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.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're going to need an advantage that hasn't yet appeared, but by day's end you may enjoy a surprise development in your favor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A decision made in conjunction with a rival can do a world of good for many in your camp. Pay attention to new trends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may find yourself having to defend a personal belief that was all the rage only a little while ago. You must pinpoint what's changed.

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?
