Your Birthday for November 13, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 13th, 2018

Born today, you have tremendous creative energy and the will to pursue your dreams. What you must do, however, is work hard to ensure that your abilities are up to the tasks that you set for yourself; you don't want to have your heart set on some lofty goal that you are simply unable to reach because you haven't developed your talents to their fullest. When well-armed with skills that are razor-sharp, you can face almost any obstacle and overcome it -- if not with ease, then certainly with confidence. Your path to success may not be straight, but reaching your destination is all but a foregone conclusion -- provided you work at it!

You have a quiet way about you, and you don't have to attract a great deal of attention to get a great deal done. You go about your business in a down-to-earth, businesslike fashion. You can be quite imaginative, however, and you are known for approaching unfamiliar problems in creative ways that get the job done.

Also born on this date are: Jimmy Kimmel, talk show host; Whoopi Goldberg, comedian and actress; Jean Seberg, actress; Joe Mantegna, actor; Robert Louis Stevenson, author; Garry Marshall, producer and director; Chris Noth, actor.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will surely benefit today from an unusual attitude -- one born of a different perspective that serves you well again and again.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Others are eager to learn what you know, but you aren't likely to share very openly today. You have good reason to protect yourself right now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have only so much time in which to do what you must do, and only so much space at your disposal to spread out and get the work done.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Subtlety is not your forte, and today it's likely to fail you altogether. Don't fret! Your own rather outrageous style serves you well!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Things should fall together nicely today, and the more organized the plan the more likely you will get everything done on schedule.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The view from where you sit is quite nice indeed -- or it can be, once you clear away distractions. It's time to look for what lies ahead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You have been ill-equipped in the past to do what others have said must be done, but today you are likely to be quite capable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You are eager to set things in a way that proves stable and lasting -- but you still need some info before making any permanent decisions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are eager to fix a problem that seems insoluble -- but you know that if you approach it from the right angle, anything is possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A recent discovery has you excited about what lies ahead, and today's activities will make a big difference as you finalize your plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are in a period of flux right now, and others may be confused when you express views that seem to be in conflict with each other.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- How you do what you do is more important than anything else today. You can combine both style and substance in a very effective way.

Your Birthday for November 12, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 12th, 2018

Born today, you have tremendous confidence and the will to pursue your dreams until the bitter end. You are likely to enjoy remarkable success when quite young, and this will inspire you to keep striving throughout your lifetime. You never seem to mind what others say about you, and yet there are times when, beneath the surface, you harbor a deep-seated resentment about criticism that has been leveled at you. Indeed, it is perhaps this reaction that compels you to better yourself; you don't want to be the subject of anyone's derision! Your ability to do what is expected of you, however, is a great strength.

You see things in unusual ways, and your overall take on life is that it is a positive, joyous adventure. You can, however, be overly sentimental at times, especially where children and animals are concerned. You are a natural caretaker, and you will always do what you can to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

Also born on this date are: Nadia Comaneci, Olympic gymnast; Grace Kelly, actress and princess of Monaco; Kim Hunter, actress; Neil Young, rocker; Al Michaels, sportscaster; Auguste Rodin, sculptor; Sammy Sosa, baseball player.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your enthusiasm is catching -- but not everyone is likely to fall under your spell. A certain someone makes you work harder than most.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An unavoidable glitch slows you down during the first part of the day. Take the time to solve the problem from the inside out!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There's no point in sugarcoating anything when you say what you know full well has to be said. Be direct, straightforward and honest.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A family member is trying to maneuver him- or herself into a position that may provide an advantage over you -- but you see through the ruse.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Now is the time for you to put a stop to something that you fear could very quickly and easily get out of hand. Your tolerance goes only so far.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your prospects are solid right now, but you may be wondering about the timing. Indeed, the clock may work against you for a time today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- In order to do your job to the best of your ability you must be willing to learn a thing or two -- especially when it comes to new technology.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Take care that your eagerness doesn't give you away today. You will want to keep some things under wraps, at least for now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You want to share certain things with that certain someone, but the day's events may not cooperate with you. Make a new plan.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What you hear through the grapevine alerts you to a problem that you will want to address before it becomes full-blown. Don't hesitate!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may find yourself in a difficult situation before you know it, but past experience enables you to avoid any real trouble.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The moment you recognize that you have something to learn, you begin to learn it. There's no point in pretending to know what you do not.

Your Birthday for November 11, 2018

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 11th, 2018

Born today, you are perhaps one of the luckiest individuals born under your sign. You are also quick to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, which would suggest that luck is not all that you have going for you! You have also been endowed with many skills and traits that you can put to good use in a wide variety of situations. Perhaps your greatest single attribute is patience; though you don't always prefer to wait for that which you feel is coming your way by rights, you can certainly do just that if necessary -- without doing anything to put yourself at a disadvantage. You are often able to communicate the most by saying very little.

There are times when you may do the most by remaining in the background, providing those on the front lines with the information they need to make real progress. You don't always want credit for this kind of work, but you always take pride in knowing that you are playing an important part in what is going on all around you.

Also born on this date are: Marc Summers, TV host; Demi Moore, actress; Stanley Tucci, actor; Leonardo DiCaprio, actor; Jonathan Winters, comedian; Kurt Vonnegut, author; George S. Patton, U.S. military leader.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're likely to find yourself in the right place at the right time today -- but the good that happens as a result is still a mystery.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be more fatigued today than usual; have you been getting the rest you need? This is something you cannot afford to ignore!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can lend an important insight to others who are dealing with a difficult and quite surprising situation. You've been there before.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll benefit from another's mistakes today, but you must take care that you don't gloat in any way -- or expect this to happen again!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to wait for a remedy to take effect. Once it does, you can move forward quickly -- and you mustn't repeat any recent mistakes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're eager to hear from someone who is far from home; he or she has stories to tell, and you can surely benefit from what you learn today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You are able to put yourself in another's shoes and experience things from his or her point of view. The value of this is crystal clear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You risk disappointing someone if you continue along your current course. You can make a change without feeling it yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may have the rare opportunity today to reverse any negative trends. When others see what you can do, your reputation will soar.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The opportunity to speak your mind without any risk of offending is likely to pass you by today if you don't speak up as soon as possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You must try to be aware of everything that is going on around you today; much will affect you only indirectly, but all will do so in some way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may find yourself juggling more than your usual responsibilities today. The extra comes from someone who is soon to "bow out."
