Your Birthday for November 23, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 23rd, 2017

Born today, you have been endowed with a rather mysterious personality, the kind that others find very difficult to define or describe, and one that keeps anyone who doesn't know you intimately from being able to outthink, outmaneuver or outperform you in any significant way. The truth is that you are simply too clever for most individuals to keep up with. That, combined with the unknown and unknowable quality the stars have seen fit to grant you, makes it almost impossible for anyone to challenge you with confidence -- whether at work or at play. It is very difficult to anticipate what you may do in any given matter; not only do you enjoy far more options than most, but you never feel bound to repeat yourself, even when facing a situation you have faced before.

Like many born under your sign, you have a youthful quality that helps you maintain a positive and productive outlook, even when the going gets very tough indeed. You are sure to experience your share of failures in life, but they aren't likely to keep you down, simply because you are more able and willing than others to bounce back.

Also born on this date are: Miley Cyrus, singer and actress; Bruce Hornsby, musician, singer, songwriter; Harpo Marx, comedian and actor; Boris Karloff, actor; Krzysztof Penderecki, composer; Franklin Pierce, U.S. president.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You don't have to know everything today, certainly -- but it's important that you know where to go to find out what you need to know!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are tempted to wander off into unfamiliar territory. If you do so, you'll want to be sure you've got all you need with you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your emotional well-being depends upon your willingness to let bygones be bygones. Now is no time to hold a grudge; it is very unhealthy!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can perform quite well on demand today -- but you'll certainly want to do something your way, and on your terms, before the day is out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may feel that you've not been as successful as you deserve to be -- but is that an accurate assessment? Look back at past achievements.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your perception of a current situation is likely to differ quite dramatically from that of the officials in charge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A personal issue is worked out quite nicely today, and much of the work may have happened before you were even aware of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You will want to be ready for anything that comes your way today, but take care that you don't move prematurely in any one direction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be so fearful that something will happen today that you make it happen by overreacting without cause. Stay calm!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- How you get from here to there will prove something of a puzzle today, but you can work it out; take all the time you need to plot a course.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may be tested in some way today, but remember that it doesn't matter how long it takes as long as you answer all questions correctly.

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.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A surprise has you moving more quickly today than you had planned, but you're perfectly capable of maintaining this faster pace.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll want to get a little rest today before you are thrown into the arena and forced to defend yourself in a more active way than usual.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You have business to attend to, surely, but you can also do something that brings you a great deal of pleasure at the same time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to travel some distance today in order to square away a business deal that has been quite a long time in the making.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It may seem as though nothing comes easy to you today -- and indeed, you are working harder than usual. This is a temporary phase.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you hear through the grapevine today has you wondering if you should begin keeping secrets -- but that's never the best idea, is it?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You were promised something that did not come to pass -- so now what do you do? This is not a good time to overreact.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll surely want an explanation for behavior that isn't up to par, but take care that you don't come off as overly aggressive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even the best-laid plans can go awry, and today you're likely to face a problem that arises when one of your plans doesn't pan out perfectly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Someone is likely to jump the gun today, forcing you into a situation that demands an immediate commitment to something of which you are unsure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may find yourself envying someone who seems to have not a care in the world -- but you'll soon learn that it's just a disguise.

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.
