Your Birthday for November 22, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 22nd, 2017

Born today, you are a master of turning a disadvantage into an advantage, of salvaging a situation and transforming it as if by magic into something you can not only work with but also triumph in. You are a born winner, and even when you are faced with a no-win situation, you are able to find something about it that proves beneficial, at least to you personally. When things don't add up, you are able to change the rules in some way to see that they do, eventually, make sense -- and you are able to teach others how to do the same thing, if only by example. You are the kind of person who other people pay attention to, simply because you have been endowed with a magnetic personality that attracts all manner of individuals into your orbit. You do not have to interact with someone directly to have an impact on his or her life.

When it comes to your native creativity, you may open yourself up to all manner of criticism -- but that's no reason why you must change. Indeed, the more others criticize you, the more likely you are to continue along the same path to prove that your life is yours and you will live it your way -- successfully.

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

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What happens before you are really up and at it this morning is likely to prove more important than anything that happens later on today.

Your Birthday for November 21, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 21st, 2017

Born today, you have been endowed with tremendous talents, and a certain kind of physical strength that enables you to go the distance when others in your situation may choose to throw in the towel. This doesn't mean that you can outrun, outthrow, outpunch, outmaneuver or in some other way outlast anyone you encounter; what it does mean is that you have the advantage over others who find themselves in similar circumstances, facing similar situations. You are creative in your thinking, and you will always seek out the plan of action that allows you to try something new. Your instincts are keen, and your ability to assess a situation quickly and accurately is perhaps unmatched by anyone else born under your sign.

There is something childlike about you that others greatly admire, for it gives you an outlook on the world that is realistic yet positive and optimistic; no matter what happens, you seem able to recognize that there is a silver lining within even the darkest cloud -- and that proves quite inspiring and motivating to you.

Also born on this date are: Ken Griffey Jr., baseball player; Troy Aikman, football player; Cherry Jones, actress; Goldie Hawn, actress; Juliet Mills, actress; Marlo Thomas, actress and activist; Stan Musial, baseball player; Voltaire, satirist.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You need more help than you think, but fortunately it is within reach. All you have to do is make contact and ask for assistance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Do you have enough money to do what you have planned today? If not, you must be willing to postpone -- even something that is already in the works.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Distractions abound today, but you are able to focus on what is required of you without letting your mind wander even for a moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You must manage your resources at this time with a greater sense of propriety -- and more fluidity. The old rules don't apply anymore.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can bet that a certain situation is only going to get worse today -- and then, only then, will you be able to get on top of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll have to learn two or three lessons very quickly today. What lies ahead demands more of you than expected, and you must be very flexible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Every time you look at the clock today, you're likely to think that you're running out of time. Time is not a main issue today -- so why look?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're in the process of making a place for yourself among a group that is in favor of much that you support. Something feels wrong, however.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Criticism comes your way today, but you know how to handle it without threatening any of your personal relationships.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What you sense is waiting for you just over the horizon is something worth pursuing certainly -- but only when you know you're ready.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are able to laugh at much, but today something happens that temporarily prevents you from enjoying things as you usually do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Steer clear of anyone who would suggest that you are on the wrong track; you know better than anyone what you're after and how to get it.

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.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You can move faster in certain directions than usual, but you must move more slowly in the direction from which you are being called.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have all the right reasons for doing a certain something in your head -- but you can't seem to make them a reality as you'd like.

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.
