Your Birthday for November 30, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 30th, 2016

Born today, you have a strong personality. You're never afraid to take a position and stick to it, no matter how unpopular it may be -- or how unpopular it may make you! Right is right, as far as you are concerned, and must not be compromised. You will hold firm once you have adopted the "right" stance on any given issue, and you know how to explain your position in such a way that you can persuade others to switch over to your way of thinking. This is not, in your mind, any kind of turncoat behavior, but just the inevitable result of listening and learning. Indeed, you are willing and able to do the same, though you will rarely conclude that your point of view is seriously in error.

Your success is likely to come in waves; at times you will be riding high, enjoying both accomplishment and popularity, and at times you will fade, having little to boast of in the way of results or acclaim. All in all, however, you'll learn to ride these waves well -- and looking back, you'll remember the high points most of all.

Also born on this date are: Shirley Chisholm, politician; Virginia Mayo, actress; June Pointer, singer; Sir Winston Churchill, British prime minister; Mark Twain, author; Dick Clark, television host; Robert Guillaume, actor; Ridley Scott, filmmaker; Gael Garcia Bernal, actor.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What you want most is likely to be yours before you know it, but you must make sure that you notice it soon after it arrives!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Progress may be slow, but it will be steady. You'll be able to enjoy the scenery as you plow through a busy day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's a good time to explore developing tastes -- and to share with a friend or loved one the kinds of things you're eager to try in the future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your memory will jog you into a reverie that leads to one discovery after another -- though none of them may be particularly new.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will want to be truthful with a friend, but not overwhelming. How you say what you have to say is just as important as the message itself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Not everyone is willing to give you a second chance, so you must search carefully for those who will do you that favor now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Don't overstate the obvious; let it be self-evident if you can. At times, saying nothing is the best course of action.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your message to a friend or family member may not initially come out exactly as you had planned, but you can make yourself clear.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You have a confession to make before the day is out, but the reaction you get may surprise you. You shouldn't be doing much of a penance!

Your Birthday for November 29, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 29th, 2016

Born today, you are a constant whirlwind of ideas, and your creative energy is such that you are continually working on all manner of projects, private and public, that may propel you to the pinnacle of success at any moment -- but when that will happen is anyone's guess! You are a lively, fun-loving, but always thoughtful individual, and you can often be found lending a hand to those in need, usually at some personal cost and with no expectation of compensation. You will always use your talents for the general good. You aren't one to think of yourself alone as you seek the bounty that your abilities are truly worth. You make friends easily, and your loyalty inspires loyalty in kind. Others are willing to do a great deal for you, just as they know you will do much for them.

You can be something of a dreamer, of course -- what creative personality is not? The results of your dreams, however, are almost always built firmly upon the bedrock of reality. You're not the kind to build castles in air -- instead, you are interested in doing only that which is lasting, memorable and valuable.

Also born on this date are: Louisa May Alcott, author; Cathy Moriarty, actress; Kim Delaney, actress; Howie Mandel, comedian; Chuck Mangione, musician; C.S. Lewis, author; Jeff Fahey, actor; Busby Berkeley, choreographer; Joel Coen, filmmaker; Garry Shandling, comedian and actor; Tom Sizemore, actor; Don Cheadle, actor; Anna Faris, actress; Andrew McCarthy, actor.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are eager to communicate with someone far from home, but you may have to do so in an unusual way. You can get creative.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A question of policy will arise and bring you face to face with someone who represents the official party line.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may feel that you're not getting the support you expected from others, but truthfully, do you believe you've earned it?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be able to clear your schedule just enough to accommodate someone's unexpected and unorthodox request.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have messages coming in from all over, and you must go through them one by one to ensure that you miss no essential pieces of information.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You don't have to work at a frenzied pace to get everything taken care of, but you don't want to drop the ball, either. Balance is key.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can do much to help someone who may not realize that he or she is in a potentially hazardous situation. Tell the truth!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're finding yourself in need of something that only a certain someone can provide -- so why not get closer and ask for it?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can enjoy a little more freedom than usual. What you may do with it is anyone's guess -- but you have an idea.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're waiting for someone to give you an idea of his or her intentions, but nothing is forthcoming just yet. Be patient.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You're eager to be somewhere else -- not just anywhere, but somewhere in particular. You're not revealing secrets, however!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Keep up the momentum, and you can get a great deal done -- more, perhaps, than you had planned on originally. A friend stays out of the way.

Your Birthday for November 28, 2016

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 28th, 2016

Born today, you are sometimes considered by those around you to be "larger than life." Indeed, your personality is so robust, your tastes so luxurious and all-consuming, that there is a fair amount of truth to this assessment. But you would maintain that while you try to live life to the fullest, nothing is "larger" than life itself! You feel compelled to learn as much as you can about the world around you and what makes other people tick, so you're likely to know more about other people, realistically, than you do about yourself. There are times, in fact, when you may fall victim to wild self-deception, fooling yourself into believing things that anyone else can tell you are simply fantastical fiction. Still, you go through life engaged and smiling -- and there's much to be said for that!

You are attractive to members of the opposite sex, and members of your own find much about you to emulate -- though it must be said that you most often try to avoid any sort of emulation at all! You don't really like being the center of attention or the object of scrutiny. You want to be yourself -- and to be left alone, too, as much as possible.

Also born on this date are: Anna Nicole Smith, model; Jon Stewart, comedian; Judd Nelson, actor; Ed Harris, actor and director; Paul Shaffer, bandleader; Randy Newman, songwriter; Ryan Kwanten, actor; Mary Elizabeth Winstead, actress; Alexander Godunov, dancer; Joe Dante, filmmaker.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have been unfair to someone very close to you recently, but you can go a long way toward making up for it in some manner.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Now is the time for you to assert yourself at the workplace. Let others know what you are after, and you're likely to get it in little time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may be feeling a little wild and disconnected, but fortunately you can find a suitable outlet for that kind of energy -- if you try.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- No one knows what you are going through the way you do -- save, perhaps, for a special friend who's been watching you for quite some time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Put your best foot forward and trust that you'll get what you deserve. It is, after all, the only thing you can really do right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may feel as though you have much to say to a certain someone, but not the words with which to say it. Trust yourself and let it all out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Progress is measured in very small increments. You mustn't think, simply because you are moving slowly, that you are not moving at all!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A loved one may show you something you think you don't want to see -- but in fact, it's precisely what you need to get you moving again!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may discover that you've been searching for something that has been right by your side all along. Your perspective will be altered.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll find it difficult, perhaps, not to reach out to someone who has already warned you that it may not be a good idea to do so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- What goes around comes around -- usually. Today, however, you may find that the ill effects of what you do are surprisingly few.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Someone else is finding you irresistible at this time, and you may be put under pressure to make a hasty decision. Is it permanent?
