Your Birthday for November 11, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 11th, 2017

Born today, you are able to maintain the most positive outlook -- no matter what happens to you or to those you love. Your ability to hold out in the face of incredible odds to achieve success is likely to be unmatched by anyone else born under your sign. No stranger to hardship, you maintain a facade that makes others wonder if there's anything you can't deal with. Indeed, you will surely teach yourself to move forward in the face of adversity. It may surprise others to realize that you are full of good ideas, and that you know how to influence others to see that those ideas are implemented -- but not in an overt manner. Rather, you do some of your best work behind the scenes, not in the spotlight!

You truly believe that distance makes the heart grow fonder -- but only because it does for you. You are not the kind to let your feelings diminish simply because the object of your affection is not with you at any given time. On the contrary, you know how to make the best of life's imposed separations, and you continually reach out to maintain lasting connections.

Also born on this date are: Abigail Adams, U.S. first lady; Demi Moore, actress; Barbara Boxer, U.S. senator; Leonardo DiCaprio, actor; Jonathan Winters, comedian; Kurt Vonnegut, author; George S. Patton, U.S. military leader.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are feeling the need for a little more contact than usual today; can you fit someone in, even though you have a lot to get done?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can meet a major challenge today. Focus on that which makes you think twice. Give a friend more attention during evening hours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You won't impress a new friend by doing something in the same old routine way. You must be more creative and show off your true skills.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You face an obstacle today that requires you to think very carefully before taking any action to remove it. There are hidden dangers.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Others are likely to be more receptive than you expect today, so why not try out one of those strange ideas you've been toying with lately?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Though you must do all you can to keep someone else safe, looking over his or her shoulder all the time is not likely to help.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can win a little more respect, and give a timely boost to your reputation, by doing one little thing that no one else is willing to try.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can bet that no one else is going to see things quite the way you do today, and this is sure to give you a very important advantage.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can turn up the heat and put pressure on those who haven't been pulling their weight. Now is not the time to compromise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you are overly aggressive, you risk much that you've been working for, but being too lax will do the same. Moderation is the key.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- If you must repeat yourself today, find new ways of saying the same thing. Try every possible approach if you have to!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's better to be suggestive than direct today, implicit rather than explicit. No one wants to hear too much right now.

Your Birthday for November 10, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 10th, 2017

Born today, you are not always going to find yourself in situations that are to your liking, and you must brace yourself for perhaps more than your share of challenges, twists and turns as you navigate both your personal life and your professional affairs. Indeed, how you manage the both of them together is likely to be most important; the fact is that you will never be able to keep them entirely separate, and each will inform the other in ways that you must learn how to control -- or they will control you in ways that can be quite detrimental to you and, perhaps, your health. You must always be willing to get back on the horse when you fall off, lest you find yourself walking away from something that could, in just a short time, provide you with a winning opportunity.

You have been endowed with tremendous talent, but it's not likely the kind that you can show off entirely. You will almost always have to work with others in order to shine; collaboration, for you, is the be-all and end-all of success, and without it you can do very little.

Also born on this date are: Brittany Murphy, actress; Mackenzie Phillips, actress; Donna Fargo, singer; Tim Rice, lyricist; Roy Scheider, actor; Richard Burton, actor; Claude Rains, actor; Martin Luther, religious reformer.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You must weigh decisions with care today, and avoid doing something just because it "seems" right. "Seems" isn't good enough today!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can turn things around and have a negative become a positive before anything else of import happens today. You can turn this into a trend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Guard against doing anything in a rash or random way, and make sure others are following suit. Careful consideration will surely be rewarded.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you think was an accident proves to be something others have been planning for some time. You'll have to deal with the ramifications.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You are after something that no one else can give you: contentment. The first thing you must do is determine why it has been so elusive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are not interested in the kinds of rewards that others seek; rather, you care about doing what you know is right and that will be admired.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Take care that you don't put your foot in your mouth when attempting to make a joke. You cannot afford to offend your benefactors today!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- What you experience today is likely to spark memories of an emotional entanglement from your past the likes of which you want to avoid.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Do you want to attract attention today? If so, it will be easy to do; if not, you may have to get creative in order to conceal your efforts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are facing certain temptations today that will not disappear simply because you ignore them. You must address them directly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can achieve what others thought was not possible. You may be able to parlay this into a professional opportunity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You and a rival engage in a friendly contest that must not be allowed to morph into a situation that is unpleasant for those around you.

Your Birthday for November 09, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 9th, 2017

Born today, you are likely to enjoy great success over the long term -- provided you don't make any decisions that get you in hot water, including legal trouble. Your first question may be, of course, "Why would I do that?" But you are one of those who is always flirting with the dark side, doing things in a way they were not intended to be done and bending the rules to suit your particular needs or desires. This is something you must avoid, however, at all costs -- lest you fall into a pattern of illicit or illegal behavior from which you cannot extricate yourself, and that promises to land you in the clink for an extended period of time! You must always use your considerable talents, brain power and ambition for good, doing things in a way that brings honor and respect to your name.

You love to think about the possibilities. What might you do? What might happen if? What's out there? What's out there for me? Can I do this -- or that -- or the other thing? These kinds of questions drive you to experiment and excel, and to learn as much about the world as anyone can. You want to know the meaning of life!

Also born on this date are: Nick Lachey, singer; Susan Tedeschi, singer; Lou Ferrigno, bodybuilder and actor; Tom Fogerty, musician; Carl Sagan, astrophysicist; Spiro Agnew, U.S. vice president; Hedy Lamarr, actress.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You seem to know almost everything that is going to happen before it does -- but how? You are "plugged in" in a most unusual way today!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The difference between fact and fiction may become somewhat blurred today, and it will be up to you to get others back on the right track.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The way you do things is the way others want to do them, so you can expect to ask many questions about your motives and methods.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your well-being matters more today than anything else, but you may have trouble making time to focus on what you really need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can do good work and accomplish much, even though your immediate circumstances are not conducive to creativity or problem solving.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can make a big decision today without having all the information you need -- but you should expect to change your mind later.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone may be trying to limit your freedom in some way today. You can assert your independence without being the cause of conflict.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- It's essential that you and a partner get up to speed together, not separately. A close collaboration is required at this time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may find yourself caught between the proverbial rock and hard place today -- but only because you didn't previously compromise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The decisions you make may come under some scrutiny today as others determine that you must be understood before you can be dealt with.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone close to you may be trying to foment some kind of conflict where there is none -- nor should there be. It's time for you to step in.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may want to keep your distance from one who has decided not to play fair; he or she is trying something you would never think of doing.
