Your Birthday for November 25, 2017

Your Birthday | November 25th, 2017

Born today, you are likely to find yourself carrying a banner of some sort for any number of important causes at many times in your life. This is because you are just the kind of person who can be trusted with such a responsibility -- and you are the kind to take it quite seriously as well. You feel things very deeply, and you're not one to discount the feelings of others; you understand that if an issue is important, there is little one can do to change that -- no matter whether you agree with it. You strive throughout your life to focus on those things that really matter, and to leave the trivial stuff to those who enjoy getting caught up in it. For you, only those issues that really engage your heart and mind are worth your time -- and when you do dedicate yourself to something, you do so for the duration. You're not the kind to give up on something you believe in.

You may not always display the greatest physical strength, and your health may at times be of concern to you and your loved ones. It is important for you to eat right and get the rest you need, lest you push yourself too far and endanger your health needlessly. You must always take necessary precautions when in unusual situations.

Also born on this date are: Christina Applegate, actress; Amy Grant, singer; Carrie Nation, temperance activist; John F. Kennedy Jr., publisher; Joe DiMaggio, baseball player; Ricardo Montalban, actor; John Larroquette, actor; Karl Benz, automaker.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 26

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your memories are playing with you today, and you will have to focus on what lies ahead to get over what currently ails you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Is a current attitude a strength or a liability? You'll find out before nightfall, as converging activities finally come together for real.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You've been working on something that keeps requiring a new way of thinking, and you may not be up to that today. Take a break.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Just when you thought you were free of certain long-term constraints, you'll feel the pinch in a new way. What have you done to invite this?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have many questions today, and few are likely to be answered in the time frame you're expecting. Things take longer than that these days.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be quite moved by someone else's sacrifice -- and inspired, too. He or she isn't the only one who can do a world of good today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you see is not at all what you get today -- in most situations. You know how to prepare yourself for such surprises -- do so now!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You have a feeling that someone is saying things about you that are untrue -- or at least misleading. It's time to set the record straight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are intrigued by someone else's suggestion that you do something the wrong way around -- but does he or she have an ulterior motive?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Prioritize today and you'll surely get most things done well within the time limit -- and in a manner that pleases those in charge.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Expected benefits may not be yours quite yet; you have a little more work to do before you enjoy a financial boost.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're after something that is out of reach for most other people -- what makes you think that you can snag it by day's end?

Your Birthday for November 24, 2017

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 24th, 2017

Born today, you are one of the most analytical individuals born under your sign. Whether you are at work or at play, in familiar surroundings or an entirely foreign environment, doing what you have planned or engaging in unexpected improvisation, you are always applying your considerable brainpower to the situation at hand, confident that you will have the advantage because you are so adept at simply figuring things out. Indeed, you are often at your best in situations that are new and untried because you can demonstrate just how capable you are when it comes to making observations that serve you and others well. You do not always maintain the most popular views on common issues; indeed, there are times when you rub others the wrong way because you have adopted a wildly divergent view of a certain subject.

You do not go out of your way to attract attention, but attention is likely to come your way as a matter of course. Whether it is because you are seen as attractive and admirable, or quite the opposite, others are likely to look your way again and again, drawn into your orbit for any one of a number of reasons.

Also born on this date are: Katherine Heigl, actress; William F. Buckley Jr., writer, columnist, TV host; Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Mafia boss; Scott Joplin, ragtime composer; Frances Hodgson Burnett, author; Zachary Taylor, U.S. president.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're working on an assumption that is proved faulty at least midway through the day. You have time to change course as necessary.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are in no mood to break with tradition right now, despite someone else's rather persuasive arguments. Keep things going the way they are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Two vocal individuals are pulling you in two different directions at this time. Soon you'll have the chance to voice your clear opinion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You shouldn't have to say much, but now and then today you will want to throw out a reminder to someone who doesn't have his eye on the clock.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're going to have to repeat yourself -- in word and deed -- at least two or three times today. It's important that you get things right.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone close to you is willing to sacrifice something in order for you to progress at a quicker pace. Show your gratitude; share the spoils.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- As soon as you discount someone else's views on a certain topic, they are likely to be validated. Why not listen to all voices today?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- If it's left to you to organize and oversee, a planned project will come off without a hitch. Otherwise, difficulties may ensue.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- While there are not outright guarantees of success, you can surely increase the odds today by doing what comes naturally.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may find yourself trading places with someone who is eager to see what things look like from your perspective -- and vice versa.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's a good time to pursue justice in a case that has been too long forgotten by most others. You're working for something worthwhile.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A lull in your day gives you just the opportunity you need to restock and prepare yourself for a challenge that's quickly coming your way.

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.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will have a good chance to examine just what drives you -- especially right now, when your motives are not wholly clear to you.

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.
