Your Birthday by by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday |

Born today, you are always making plans of one kind or another: some good, some bad and some just for the fun of it, because you can. You don't always follow through on everything you cook up, but that's not really the point, is it? The point is to keep your brain nimble and your imagination active! You don't always keep your plans to yourself, surely; you often share them with others, even going so far as to let someone else take complete ownership of something you have thought up. You take great enjoyment from seeing others make the most of your ideas. When you do settle upon something active to do yourself, you are quick to swing into motion and determine your ultimate goals. In that way, you are more likely to reach them.

You have a keen sense of humor, and your ability to see through the deceptions that others try to maintain gives you a unique perspective on the world. You tend not to be critical of the foibles of others; rather, you embrace them, understand them and often share them! You understand full well that you are far from perfect.

Also born on this date are: Mary Martin, actress; Bette Midler, singer and actress; Richard Pryor, comedian and actor; Lou Rawls, singer; Woody Allen, actor, comedian and filmmaker; Lee Trevino, golfer; Sarah Silverman, comedian; Matt Fraction, writer; Janelle Monae, singer.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll want to take a close look at what is going on behind the scenes. Something you failed to notice before will matter greatly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Are you being influenced by someone who doesn't want to come out of the shadows? Carry on, but take necessary precautions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are in no position to call the shots, but that could change if you negotiate cleverly with someone currently in charge.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may feel as though you are riding a train that is racing down the track out of control. It's time for you to exert a strong influence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're waiting for evidence to surface that will lend credence to someone else's accusations. You don't yet know whom to believe.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be reluctant to speak about issues that revolve very closely around you. Are you trying to hide something?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You know what has been going on, but you're not willing to point any fingers just yet. A difficult situation may be made worse.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Key issues require your attention. Home affairs may become rocky as you try to juggle too many responsibilities. Get back to basics.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have good reason to take a walk down memory lane, but a friend isn't so willing to accompany you. Don't be pushy!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When trying to set someone straight about the facts, take care that your attempts don't become belittling or abusive in any way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have to work hard to sift through all manner of details that have little to do with the main issue. Get to the point.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Make no accusations without having evidence at the ready to back them up. Be prepared for a counterattack, too.

Your Birthday for November 30, 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.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're eager to show a friend and mentor what you've learned -- but be warned! Things could get more heated than you might expect.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're going to have to make up for lost time at some point, but before you do, you must determine what your path will be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- In trying to help a friend through a difficult time, you may find yourself navigating an emotional minefield of your own.

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!

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.

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.
