Your Birthday for November 09, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 9th, 2024

Born today, you are quite adept at coming up with alternatives when your plans don't shape up the way you had hoped, or when you're faced with obstacles that are simply insurmountable in some way. You never mind shifting gears, as long as you are moving from something with potential to something else with just as much potential -- if not more! You don't like feeling forced into making such a decision, of course -- who would? -- but when things appear clear to you, then you're more than willing to make adjustments that are motivated from within. You are something of a leader, though you don't always relish the responsibility that comes from being at the head of the pack, but you can surely show others the way by example.

Your understanding of complex issues is quite solid, even at times profound. You can find meaning in much that others think is routine or even trivial, and the kinds of things that others often overlook are the very things with which you are somehow enthralled. You enjoy minutia, and can spend endless hours looking at things from all different perspectives.

Also born on this date are: Nick Lachey, singer; Susan Tedeschi, singer; Lou Ferrigno, bodybuilder and actor; Tom Fogerty, musician; Carl Sagan, physicist; Spiro Agnew, U.S. vice president; Hedy Lamarr, actress.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You can win the support today of someone who only yesterday was unwilling to lend you a hand for personal reasons. Now try collaborating.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are in no mood to tackle anything that is out of the ordinary today, but you will have to do so at least once during afternoon hours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Today's journey may not take you far from home in a literal sense, but in your own mind, you'll be able to get very far from where you started.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The time has come for you to give voice to your objections to someone else's pattern of behavior, as you're likely to be more directly affected.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can keep communication open as long as necessary today simply by refusing to conceal the truth from anyone who needs to hear it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- An information bottleneck is likely to slow things down at a very inconvenient time. You can do much to get things flowing -- if you act fast.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you do for yourself today will surely benefit those around you as well. Don't hesitate to reach out to someone who seems to be lost.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- If you want to keep a secret today, it's best not to tell it to anyone at all. You never know who's going to spill the beans, do you?

Your Birthday for November 08, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 8th, 2024

Born today, you are destined to succeed, but finding out what you are to succeed at may take a lifetime of exploration -- especially since you're usually unwilling to jump at the first opportunities that present themselves. Indeed, you are far more cautious and careful than that, and you will always look into what lies ahead before you move forward, not only to minimize potential hazards but also to maximize potential rewards. You are thoughtful, thorough and inclusive in your thinking; you do not discount something simply because it isn't your cup of tea or isn't likely to come to pass. You take everything into account and devise a plan based on both solid evidence and careful conjecture that is in turn based on both experience and learning.

You will do all you can in support of a worthy cause, and your support always means a great deal to those who are beneficiaries of it. You are likely to achieve a level of popularity and success that your very name may add value and legitimacy to a new movement or endeavor, and if that comes to pass, you're sure to attract a great many admirers and imitators.

Also born on this date are: Tara Reid, actress; Parker Posey, actress; Leif Garrett, actor and singer; Mary Hart, TV personality; Bonnie Raitt, singer and musician; Morley Safer, newsman; Margaret Mitchell, novelist.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You or a rival may be in a tight spot by day's end, and when the time comes, the other will be in a position to help. You must cooperate!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may find yourself in a sticky spot before the day is out, and you should have time to extricate yourself if you abandon certain assumptions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have the chance to do something again that was quite pleasurable the first time. Don't just repeat yourself, try to do it better if you can!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A game you thought would be a quick win may well become quite competitive before all is said and done. You're going to have to stay focused.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can come up with something big just when it's needed, but you can't think about that ahead of time. Just do what you know how to do!

Your Birthday for November 07, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 7th, 2024

Born today, you possess tremendous creative energy that can surely enable you to climb to the top of your chosen field provided you learn to make the most of it from an early age. This, of course, depends in large part upon identifying that energy and recognizing its potential -- which can be difficult, especially if you find yourself overly immersed in the daily grind. You must find a way to separate yourself from those who are content with doing the ordinary, the routine, the expected and the mundane, and do whatever it takes to develop your talents to the fullest -- on your own, though not without the guidance of like-minded and similarly endowed individuals. Once you know your own strengths, you can decide where they will lead you, and once that's been determined, it's just a matter of going there.

Some of your beliefs may be rare or even unpopular, but they are yours alone and bring you strength and confidence. That doesn't mean they're right for everyone, however, and you must never think that if it works for you, it's going to work for someone else. Your best approach is to live and let live, and let others develop and evolve as they will.

Also born on this date are: Joni Mitchell, singer; Joan Sutherland, operatic soprano; Al Hirt, musician; Billy Graham, evangelist; Leon Trotsky, Russian revolutionary; Madame Curie, scientist.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your talent demands some nurturing at this time, as you may have been resting on your laurels too much recently. Try something new.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may prove to be your only significant enemy today, especially if you continue to follow a path that is actually only leading you in circles.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- That which was detrimental to you in the recent past may actually be beneficial to you now. What's different, and how can you keep this going?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Lashing out is no way to win others over today. Be calm, rational and generous with your time by listening to what they have to say.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It may take a sneaky sort of trade for you to solve a situation that has tied you and another in knots. Get this done as quickly as possible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What makes perfect sense to you is likely to drive others somewhat crazy today as they try to figure out what you've done -- and why.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can do a great deal more than others think you can today, especially saddled with a burden you hadn't counted on having to bear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Some of what you do today will be remembered, and some will not. You do have a say in what will and won’t -- and whether it’s positive or not!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're facing a situation today that is fraught with uncertainty, but what you do in response to it can secure a lasting benefit.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The success you are currently enjoying, or recently enjoyed, is worth examination. Is it something you can fruitfully repeat?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- A break from routine can give you a much needed boost today. You have more to offer than you had planned, and the chance to do so will arise.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Try too hard and a successful resolution to a current situation may be untenable at best. Breathe and do what comes naturally.
