Born today, you are one of the most reflective individuals born under your sign. You will never go through anything in life without taking the time -- before, during or after -- to think carefully about what you are doing, why you are doing it and what may come as a result. The unexamined life is, to you, not worth living. Only by giving things the attention you feel they deserve -- internally, externally, implicitly and explicitly -- are you able to make the most out of what life offers. You are content only when contentment is the result of some kind of personal growth and development; you're not the kind to enjoy that which is simply granted to you. You want to earn your rewards.
Popularity is something you can enjoy, but which you do not actively seek out in most situations. You are comfortable with the fact that not everyone is going to like you, get along with you or work well with you. Still, you always try to avoid alienating those around you. You understand the value of genuine alliances!
Also born on this date are: Tatum O'Neal, actress; Tilda Swinton, actress; Bryan Adams, singer; Sam Shepard, playwright and actor; Art Garfunkel, singer-songwriter; Elke Sommer, actress; Ike Turner, singer-songwriter and producer; Vivien Leigh, actress; Joel McCrea, actor.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may not have managed your time as well as usual over the past few days. As a result, you must tweak your schedule.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can get more done than you had hoped, but another may actually gain more ground than you, through no fault of yours.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Seeking a way out of an uncomfortable situation may be more problematic than seeking a way to avoid it in the first place.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be surrounded by those who are willing to help, but you'll want to do as much as you can on your own -- for personal reasons.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Give yourself a hand, as you're starting to prove that you really are able to raise the bar in ways that are unique to you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be hoping for only one or two compliments, but more than that is likely to come your way. You've done some excellent work lately!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may want to do some careful comparison shopping before settling for the one thing that is both useful and pleasurable.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You'll be ready to announce something important to those who have chosen to come along with you on an adventurous new ride.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You'll see the light in a way that takes you very much by surprise. New information gives you greater maneuverability.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may not be in a social mood, but you can derive much good from mixing and mingling when you have the chance.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- It's a good day to put your work on display. The feedback you get should be positive in the main -- and provide you with a lesson.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Self-governance becomes an issue. See if you can't instruct another in such a way that he or she is able to continue on his or her own.
