Your Birthday for November 21, 2024

Your Birthday | November 21st, 2024

Born today, you always operate according to an overall philosophy that tells you that the world will stop turning if you do not exert as much influence as possible on a day-to-day basis -- and though you know this to be false on a factual level, the fact remains that the notion itself provides almost all the motivation you need to do all you can and make the most of your talents, timing and the circumstances you encounter from moment to moment. You are quick to determine what is possible in any given situation, and you're able to pivot quickly when your efforts threaten to go awry. You work well with others, and yet you are perfectly comfortable doing things on your own whenever necessary -- again, because you think that your efforts are likely more effective than anyone else's.

You will learn over time that rest and relaxation are just as important to you as dedication, commitment and hard work. Indeed, there are times in which you may actually acknowledge that they are more important, for exhaustion and a dangerous reduction in resources are always to be avoided, lest you burn yourself out.

Also born on this date are: Ken Griffey Jr., baseball player; Troy Aikman, football player; Cherry Jones, actress; Goldie Hawn, actress; Juliet Mills, actress; Marlo Thomas, actress; Stan Musial, baseball player; Voltaire, satirist.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A common cause will bring you and others together today in a manner that few have recently seen. You can bring much to a necessary endeavor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have more time on your hands today than you had recently anticipated, but that doesn't mean you can fritter it away. Make a plan!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can focus on things in a manner that allows you to see more than usual today -- and certainly more than others around you are able to see.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not be as quick as some others, but your work today has the potential of being ground-breaking in some respect. Quality is again the key.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A little more give-and-take than usual may be required today as you negotiate a deal that can put you closer to your destination by day's end.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you know and what you think you know must be reconciled today in some fashion -- and as a result, you'll be ready for something soon to come.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The moment you think of yourself as an expert, you'll almost surely have a run-in with someone who actually knows more than you. Use care!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Braggadocio can get you into hot water very quickly today. The more realistic -- even humble -- you can be today, the better for everyone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The more involved you are with another, the more success you can both enjoy today -- provided you are each willing to listen to the other!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can give yourself more of what you enjoy today and less of what frustrates you -- provided you know the difference between the two!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You can surprise others with your willingness to jump into a situation that they wish to avoid. You usually do, too -- but not today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The more expressive you can be today, the more others will listen to you -- but there will always be those who simply won't believe you.

Your Birthday for November 20, 2024

Your Birthday | November 20th, 2024

Born today, you often have your head in the clouds while trying very hard indeed to keep your feet on the ground, with the not-too-surprising result that your dreams at times lead to little and your ability to deal with the here-and-now is likewise limited. Fortunately, however, you have been endowed with several tremendously useful talents that can help you solve this existential dilemma -- but it will always take honest self-assessment and timely recognition for you to realize what's going on and devise a plan for course-correction that is creative, positive and, above all, effective. You can do all of this, certainly, and you will do it many times throughout your lifetime -- and in that way you will turn liability into strength, and disappointment into satisfaction and contentment.

You derive great strength from allying yourself with like-minded individuals whose abilities complement your own. You enjoy working with those who do what you cannot, and providing to both work and personal situations what they can. It is this kind of interpersonal symbiosis that can bring you your greatest successes.

Also born on this date are: Bo Derek, actress; Veronica Hamel, actress; Joe Biden, U.S. President; Dick Smothers, comedian; Richard Dawson, actor and game show host; Estelle Parsons, actress; Robert F. Kennedy, U.S. Attorney General and Senator; Alistair Cooke, author and public television host; Edwin Hubble, astronomer.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be put in a position of some authority today which, in itself, is nothing new -- but what you have to do is quite unusual.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Try your new ideas out on someone who has been an ally in the past. You want an honest appraisal, but you also need some friendly support.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- As soon as you think it's too late today, you're likely to be thrown into a situation that keeps your hopes very much alive.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- What you can reach for today without endangering yourself or others should be enough to satisfy you for a while. Don't overthink things!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be called upon to remind others of the truth of a certain situation. First you must determine why it's gotten so distorted lately.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If it's solitude you want, you may certainly have it today, but you may have to sacrifice something in order to get it. Can you do that?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It's time to talk with you-know-who about you-know-what, and you can't afford to beat around the bush! Be direct, honest and clear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You should be able to persuade others that your point of view is valid, but getting anyone to adopt it is another matter altogether.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Now is no time to insist that your way of thinking is the only way, especially when it comes to a certain personal issue.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even the most unusual ideas can be effectively communicated today, provided you keep your personal attitudes from skewing the discussion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Are you trying to get attention in the right ways? You can do something to win not only attention but praise today, but think it through!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- A record of a past discussion may have to be presented today in order for your version to be validated and believed by someone in charge.

Your Birthday for November 19, 2024

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?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are eager for a new success, but today's not the day -- unless of course you are lucky enough to stumble upon an unexpected opportunity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- An attraction may blossom today between you and someone who shares your feelings about certain personal things. Should you pursue this?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Helping another with a personal project at this time can put you in someone else’s good graces for a while -- but you’ll surely be watched.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You don't want to get too comfortable today in a situation that others find tricky or dangerous, as your luck may change very quickly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may be asked to pick between two things that seem to be of equal value to you no matter how you look at them. Does it really matter?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Things are likely to move very quickly today once you decide on a course of action. You must guard against any outright deception.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can feel very good about yourself today if you simply follow your instincts and do what you have planned. Follow your playbook!
