Your Birthday for November 20, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 20th, 2017

Born today, you are one of those rare individuals who seems to know precisely what is "right" and "wrong" in any given situation. Whether your judgment pertains to a philosophical position, official policy, a moral stance or personal behavior, you are almost unshakable in your beliefs and confident that events will play out in such a way that your views are upheld and supported -- even adopted by others. You believe that the world is a battleground of sorts, one in which the forces of good and evil trade volleys of moral firepower, with one or the other achieving temporary dominance for a time, before the other wins again. For all that, you are not one to be shaken in any significant way; you stand by your beliefs and dedicate yourself to the good as you see it -- and will do all you can to support it in your daily life.

At work or play, you can be counted on to stick to your guns and proceed unwaveringly in the direction you have chosen. Reliability, in fact, is one of your greatest assets and one of your greatest advantages over others. When it comes to love, however, you are far less certain; indeed, your heart can often lead you into very tricky romantic entanglements.

Also born on this date are: Bo Derek, actress; Veronica Hamel, actress; Joe Biden, U.S. senator and vice president; Dick Smothers, comedian; Richard Dawson, actor and game show host; Estelle Parsons, actress; Robert F. Kennedy, U.S. attorney general and senator; Alistair Cooke, author and public television host; Edwin Hubble, astronomer.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's a good time to get down to business and to bring to the fore some issues that have been buried for much too long. Honesty wins the day!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An opportunity is presented to you today that will require you to alter many of your current methods if you're going to take advantage of it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Things are going very much according to plan -- except for one small detail that will not fall into place. It's time to call in an expert.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- An experimental approach allows you the freedom to maneuver as necessary when new circumstances arise. You aren't cornered by tradition.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be working yourself into a frenzy at this time over something that you simply cannot control. It may be time for a big life change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are likely to face a formidable challenge today -- but it's one you've seen before, so you probably know just how to address it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Past experience allows you to address a current problem in a way that other people consider new and different. Keep the truth to yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must look closely at the road beneath your feet today, as you can't afford to be tripped up by something you simply don't notice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your reasoning differs from that of many who are facing you from across a current battleground. Why not listen more than talk?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The attention you receive today may be misinterpreted by someone who feels that you're doing little to deserve your current accolades.

Your Birthday for November 19, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 19th, 2017

Born today, you are a highly communicative individual, the kind who can deliver even the most complex or unwelcome message in a way that promotes careful thought and firm action rather than fear and avoidance. You believe in approaching a problem from the front, head-on, with all your tools at the ready; you don't believe in sneaking up on something and hoping it will take flight and leave you alone. You are confident, capable and strong-willed -- and yet at the same time you are not at all cocky; you have been endowed with just enough humility to ensure that you never assume that success is "in the bag" or that you do not have to work for what you want or need. You can follow and lead, but events in your life are likely to play out in such a way that leading comes more naturally to you.

You may enjoy your greatest single success as a result of following the advice of another -- or many others. This will likely happen when those who appreciate your manner of speaking come to believe that you are the answer to their problems, if not their prayers. This can be a fulfilling, yet dangerous situation!

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, TV mogul; Dick Cavett, talk show host; Larry King, talk show host; Indira Gandhi, Indian prime minister; Tommy Dorsey, bandleader; James Garfield, U.S. president.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may have to avoid interaction with someone who has differed from you in the past -- especially if you're in the mood for a quarrel.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can increase your profit margin, or cater to your sense of justice -- but not both, today. The choice may well be made for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Are you feeling as strong and capable as you should be? Things have been going your way, but you may feel the ground shifting under you today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The harder you work, the more likely you will be to receive what you feel is yours by rights -- and in time to enjoy it fully!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You and a friend may find that there is more at stake for the both of you than meets the eye. It may be time to double down on a joint venture.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone may come to you with a request you simply cannot grant -- or can you? After thinking twice, you may see a way to do the impossible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- That which you deal with regularly is likely to prove just a little more difficult than expected today, while something new comes easy to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may sense that someone is trying to hold you back in some way -- but are you contributing to this in any way? Look in the mirror!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A family member may turn to you to provide the answer to a question that many have been asking. Progress depends on your accuracy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your emotions may be mixed throughout much of the day. A friend may be able to provide you with a stabilizing influence -- temporarily.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Those who are closest to you may not be interpreting your signals accurately -- but someone farther away knows just what you mean.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- What a friend tells you he or she wants may take you very much by surprise today -- because it's something you secretly want, as well!

Your Birthday for November 18, 2017

Your Birthday | November 18th, 2017

Born today, you are one of the most natural, down-to-earth, true-to-self, openly expressive and honestly reactive individuals born under your sign. While so many Scorpio natives have to fight inner impulses that work against their better natures, you have to engage in no such battles, for you trust who you are so completely that nothing you do is likely to be detrimental to you in any significant way. You know who you are, you say what you think, and you share your opinions and feelings in a manner that allows others to get to know you in a way that is quite rare. This doesn't mean that you will experience nothing but progress and success in your lifetime; indeed, you will have to endure your share of disappointment, but you always take it in stride -- because of who you are.

While others may misinterpret the signs that point the way ahead, you almost always know precisely what they mean, and what they require of you every step of the way. You pay attention to the little things, and you understand just how much your appreciation for details is a boon to you in all things both personal and professional.

Also born on this date are: Elizabeth Perkins, actress; Mike Epps, comedian; Linda Evans, actress; Brenda Vaccaro, actress; Alan Shepard, first American in space; Johnny Mercer, composer and songwriter; Imogene Coca, comedian; Eugene Ormandy, violinist and conductor.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to receive a piece of advice that stops you in your tracks today -- perhaps literally. Interpreting it correctly is key.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may not be able to reconcile what someone else says with what you know to be true. You will almost surely want to investigate further.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You and a rival may have come to an impasse today; why not suggest that you work together to overcome this obstacle?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can avoid many of the traps that others are falling into at this time -- but there is one that you may find impossible to avoid right now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can suggest another way of doing things when you see those around you failing again and again when trying the same thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to reveal something about yourself today without even knowing it, but the result can be an advantage by day's end.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you call "strategy" someone else is likely to call an accident -- but in truth, you've worked hard to devise a plan that works for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will have to weigh some complex evidence today in order to come up with an answer to a mystery plaguing more than just yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Whether or not you are feeling up to the challenge, what you have to do today will not go away -- so now is the time to push forward!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You are likely to hit upon a new idea today that you are perfectly willing to share with others -- and they will accept it wholeheartedly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will almost surely find yourself ahead of the rest today, simply because you understand the rules more than anyone else.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're more than willing to do what is necessary today, but you don't want to be spinning your wheels doing what will yield no results.
