Your Birthday for November 19, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 19th, 2024

Born today, you are known for your ability to stick with something to the bitter end, come what will, and this tenacity is something that will make you widely admired and enable you to succeed in situations that might simply be too much for most other people. While others may become frustrated and disenchanted when things get tough, you find that your determination is increased and your commitment to excellence augmented by a feeling that nothing is going to be allowed to stand in your way -- and so, in most cases, it doesn't! You won't succeed every time, of course, but your successes in life are likely to outnumber your failures by a good margin, usually because you have worked past the point of no return and done the impossible.

Tenacity, in many ways, will translate into longevity, at least where your professional life is concerned. Because you insist on staying the course, you will be able to watch the weeks, months and years pass while working on whatever project you choose. You're not one to quit anything prematurely, that's certain!

Also born on this date are: Ryan Howard, baseball player; Kerri Strug, Olympic gymnast; Jodie Foster, actress; Meg Ryan, actress; Calvin Klein, designer; Ted Turner, TV mogul; Dick Cavett, talk show host; Larry King, talk show host; Indira Gandhi, Indian prime minister; Tommy Dorsey, bandleader; James Garfield, U.S. president.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What goes around comes around, but the question is when? You may find yourself waiting for the inevitable for quite some time today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You should gain a good deal of strength and confidence today by doing what has been advised -- but by all means, do it your own way!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There is certainly room for interpretation in most, if not all, things today, and you'll know it without a doubt when there isn't. Advise others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not feel inspired today, but that needn't stop you from doing something important that can inspire others. Your work is solid.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may find it difficult to resist that temptation that has been put in your way by another. Is this meant to hold you back or fire you up?

Your Birthday for November 18, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 18th, 2024

Born today, you have been endowed with tremendous stores of creative energy, and even from an early age you will be compelled to pursue all manner of projects that allow you to explore your interests and talents in ways that are anything but ordinary, routine or even expected. You follow your own instincts when working and playing, and your success is therefore very much your own -- though also is any failure you may experience, since you have no one to blame but yourself for any errors or missteps, just as you have no one else to credit for the things that go right but yourself. Being so secure in your interests and abilities can at times be rather lonely, and limiting too! You will surely learn that while you can do great things on your own, you can do more in cooperation with others.

Your emotional makeup is complex, but to others you seem to be stable and unflappable. This is merely a kind of personal propaganda: It's what you want people to think, when, in fact, there are times when you may actually be led by feelings rather than thought. But that's something you try to conceal from others as much as possible.

Also born on this date are: Elizabeth Perkins, actress; Linda Evans, actress; Brenda Vaccaro, actress; Alan Shepard Jr., first American in space; Johnny Mercer, composer and songwriter; Imogene Coca, comedienne; Eugene Ormandy, violinist and conductor.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be at odds today with your own ambition, which has perhaps driven you to do something that is uncharacteristic in the extreme.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Let another's actions be a source of inspiration today and you may find yourself heading in a new direction. Much more is likely possible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can combine wants and needs in a very productive and unique manner today. What results is likely to take you very much by surprise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Seek and ye shall find today -- but take care that you're not jumping headlong into a potentially dangerous situation you cannot control.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to do a little homework today before you're ready to meet a rival head-on, even in territory that favors you. Don't overlook anything!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be trying what others consider impossible, but you know better. Keep up the good work, and know that you'll soon be vindicated.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Take care that you are not so generous that you give away that which you most need at this time. Some things you'll surely want to hang on to.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may find yourself drawn into an activity today that you might have gone out of your way to avoid only yesterday. Be always alert!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You are trying for something that no one has done before perhaps, but that's no reason to think it's any more complicated than it is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You and some friends may be in dispute today about an issue that really doesn't matter except to you. Why turn this into an argument?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- What someone else does today mustn't be allowed to throw you off balance in any way. If necessary, you can simply ignore what's going on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may not know where current events are going to push you yet, but soon you'll have to act based on new circumstances you cannot avoid.

Your Birthday for November 17, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 17th, 2024

Born today, you are one of the most colorful and vibrant individuals born under your sign, and you possess a lust for life that is likely unmatched by any other Scorpio native -- and that is quite rare among those born under any other sign. Once you get going, you are not to be stopped, not because your will is so strong, but rather because it is such a pleasure to watch you do the things you do that others simply won't stand in your way! Indeed, you are likely to be widely imitated, but no one can truly adopt all that you have going for you -- in particular, your positive outlook and your enthusiasm for pursuing your goals and getting things done. You never let the daily routine get you down.

You have been endowed with much that others find almost irresistibly attractive, and you're sure to have more than your share of admirers following in your wake at every point in your life. You aren't the kind, however, to indulge in brief love affairs; you want the real thing, and when you get it, you'll do all you can to ensure it lasts a lifetime.

Also born on this date are: Lauren Hutton, actress; Daisy Fuentes, actress and TV personality; Danny DeVito, actor and producer; Lorne Michaels, producer; Gordon Lightfoot, singer and songwriter; Martin Scorsese, filmmaker.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Avoid being political in your response to someone who is trying to be as transparent as possible. Be direct and speak the truth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The time has come, perhaps, for you to turn away from something or someone that you have supported for some time. What has changed?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can keep disappointment at bay simply by doing what you know to be right whenever the opportunity arises. Feel good about yourself today!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The contribution you're trying to make today may not be understood by others, and there's the problem! You must explain things more clearly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Very soon you'll likely realize that it's time to alter your strategy regarding a difficulty at the workplace. Such change can be valuable.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The balance between getting what you need and going after what you want may be trickier than usual today. Focus on the former first.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may feel as though you are out of your element as they day begins, but later on, you'll be much more comfortable with what you have to do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can win the support you need today if you’re willing to do more with less. Success along such lines will impress those in charge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You mustn't keep your intentions to yourself today; share them with those who can help you succeed. Communication must be a two-way street!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may have to disappoint someone today in order to do a good turn for someone else who has displayed a greater immediate need.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- If you find yourself waiting around for someone who doesn't show, perhaps it's a sign that what you had arranged is best skipped altogether.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can benefit from an announcement that is not heard by many others. You may find it necessary to speak up when it's not your turn.
