Your Birthday | November 7th, 2014

Born today, you are likely to achieve a great deal in your lifetime -- and help others to achieve just as much. This is all the result of your optimistic and visionary nature. Though you are not the kind to sugarcoat things or look at the world through rose-colored glasses, you are nevertheless able to spot opportunities in the most unlikely places and to uncover the silver lining hiding behind every cloud. Others are surely going to crave your company throughout your lifetime, simply because you approach life in such a positive and joyous fashion. You aren't the kind to let routine troubles get you down; rather, you let them instruct you so that you can maintain a positive and productive attitude.

It is likely that you will develop your creative side to the point that almost everything you do is, in some sense, creative -- original, life-affirming and celebratory. You have many artistic talents, and you aren't likely to let them lie dormant; you'll want to develop them as fully as possible.

Also born on this date are: Joni Mitchell, singer; Christopher Knight, actor; Judy Tenuta, comedian; Joan Sutherland, operatic soprano; Al Hirt, musician; Billy Graham, evangelist; Leon Trotsky, Russian politician; Marie Curie, scientist.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- That which was familiar only yesterday may seem somewhat foreign to you today -- and vice versa. It's all a matter of mindset.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You aren't able to be in two places at once, so be sure that you know what order you must follow to get everything done.

Your Birthday for November 06, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 6th, 2014

Born today, you are one of the most charismatic individuals born under your sign, and you will make the most of this throughout your lifetime. You often seem to have little in common with those around you. This is not because you are so different in fact, but because you try to present yourself as different in essence. Appearances are, to you, quite important, and you are able to mold how you appear to the world around you without seriously affecting the "real you" in any lasting way. You rarely, if ever, let yourself feel threatened by others. You are confident that you have what it takes to compete with almost any rival, and that confidence can see you through the most difficult situations.

You don't like to bother yourself with things that don't really matter. The small stuff doesn't cross your mind often, as you would much rather dedicate yourself to the bigger questions affecting you and everyone else on a daily basis. You are driven to identify and solve problems.

Also born on this date are: Emma Stone, actress; Pat Tillman, football player and soldier; Thandie Newton, actress; Rebecca Romijn, model and actress; Ethan Hawke, actor and filmmaker; Maria Shriver, journalist; Sally Field, actress; Glenn Frey, singer-songwriter and musician; Mike Nichols, film director; John Philip Sousa, composer.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's not as important for you to know certain things as it is to know how to learn what is necessary. It's the process that counts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your focus may have to be split between two essentials. Fortunately, you're quite adept at multitasking.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You'll want to give your all to a project brought to you by another. Half measures will surely disappoint.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may have to take some extra time to translate messages that you receive from afar. This will impact you in surprising ways.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You and a friend may find yourselves at odds over something that needn't become a bone of contention. It's merely a matter of taste.

Your Birthday for November 05, 2014

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 5th, 2014

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.
