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.

Your Birthday for November 06, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 6th, 2024

Born today, you are never one to be pinned down easily, or pigeonholed in any way, or summed up even by those who claim to know you well -- for you are nothing if not a contradiction in terms! Just when someone may think they've got you pegged, you will do or say something that goes against their image of you so that the entire notion of knowing you at all may simply crumble into dust. You are sensitive but able to lash out and hurt another -- intentionally and unintentionally. You are highly creative, even artistic, and yet you keep your feet firmly on the ground and base almost all of your life decisions on practical knowledge and pragmatic needs. You know how to commit to something for the long haul, whether it be a project or a relationship, and you have been known to quit and turn your attentions elsewhere at the drop of a hat.

What is constant, however, is your ability to see the truth as you understand it, no matter how well-disguised or camouflaged it may be -- and your ability to speak that truth in a way that persuades others again and again of its validity. You are, indeed, one of the most persuasive individuals under your sign.

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 author; Maria Shriver, newswoman; Sally Field, actress; Glenn Frey, singer, songwriter, musician; Mike Nichols, film director; John Philip Sousa, composer and bandleader.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- The sooner you change your mind about a recent offer, the sooner you'll benefit from it -- and others will have reason to celebrate, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You want to find out who's behind recent events that have had a surprising impact on you at home or at work. You may not have to look far!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can shake things up a little and improve morale at the same time. You're likely to wind up in charge of something that needs you badly!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What begins today as a minor inconvenience for you may grow into something that engulfs a great many others if you don't nip it in the bud.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You cannot escape certain influences today, so instead of trying to fight them, why not embrace them as best you can and see where they lead?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are responsible for more than you think today, and others are looking to you as an example. This is a role you can certainly play well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you do today isn't likely to be soon forgotten by anyone involved -- and for that you'll be grateful, though perhaps not immediately.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Instructions you receive today are for you only, and mustn’t be shared with anyone else. Take the time to visualize what must be done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- If you want to soar higher than before, you must be willing to cut ties with someone or something that has been holding you down.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A shift in thinking should allow you to embrace a whole new philosophy that can change how you interact with those at home and at work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may have no choice today but to do something that you would normally avoid at all costs -- but you cannot combat current circumstances.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Focus on those who have needed you in the past. They may not need you in the same way any longer, but the connection between you is palpable.

Your Birthday for November 05, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 5th, 2024

Born today, you possess a certain precocious quality that may at times get you in hot water when it leads other people to believe that you know more, can do more or possess more authority than you actually do -- but your personality is so vibrant, bright and positive that you're able to get yourself out of such situations with a good deal of style and humor, and you can often win allies and make friends in the process. You are able to face all manner of life's surprises, from the most enjoyable to the most trying, because you hold great faith in the power of positive thinking and in the promise of tomorrow. You are continually looking forward to better times -- even when things are just fine in the moment! You never give up striving for more and better in all things.

You do possess certain vulnerabilities that can introduce rather long-term complications into your life if they are not carefully controlled. The most serious, of course, is the insecurity that you work so hard to hide from the world at large, but which always has you thinking that you may not, in fact, be good enough at this, that or the other thing.

Also born on this date are: Tatum O’Neal, actress; Tilda Swinton, actress; Bryan Adams, singer; Sam Shepard, playwright and actor; Art Garfunkel, singer and songwriter; Elke Sommer, actress; Ike Turner, rock pioneer; Vivien Leigh, actress; Joel McCrea, actor.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Knowing the reason for something is very different from making excuses for it. You can benefit from the former, and must avoid the latter.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have reason to concentrate more squarely than usual on your own personal safety today. Be careful not to overlook the obvious!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are coming to a better understanding of something that has confused you in the past, and it'll soon be your turn to instruct others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The more you fumble with something you don't know well, the more you'll reveal to another that you wish to keep under wraps. Use great care!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're eager to start over with those who recently chose to distance themselves from you. Are you willing to admit to an unintentional error?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're after peace and quiet both at home and at the workplace, but you must focus on one venue before either can benefit from your efforts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Now is no time to split your focus. Concentrate on that which is front and center today, and leave any peripheral issues for another time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You will want to study something quite closely today before committing to anything that requires its use. You mustn’t be caught unawares.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may be involved in something that is over your head in some ways, and you'll have to trust another to explain the implications.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- What you are after can surely be acquired today, but you may have to take a different route than planned in order to make that happen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may be approaching a critical point today in a process that has required you to abandon the familiar and embrace the unknown.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may begin to wonder how long you can keep up a charade that has profited you for quite a while. Is today the day to drop the disguise?
