Your Birthday for December 01, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | December 1st, 2024

Born today, you are a creative, capable individual with tremendous ambition, but you don't always have the energy required to raise the bar again and again and be the best that you can be at every stage. Indeed, you can easily be discouraged by the simplest and most fleeting stroke of bad luck -- the kind that might hit anyone at some point -- and you can be knocked off your plate by the unexpected. Fortunately, however, you are able to listen to those closest to you when they offer feedback and criticism, and you will do what you can to work yourself back into prime condition so that you can perform at a high level and fulfill your potential. A refusal to listen, however, or taking criticism personally, is almost guaranteed to lead to failure.

Work through the hard times and you can sustain good times for lengthy periods, and that's what separates you from those who don't make it. The same is true in your personal life: Walk away at the first sign of trouble and you'll never have what you truly want from a relationship.

Also born on this date are: Mary Martin, actress; Bette Midler, singer, actress, entertainer; Richard Pryor, comedian and actor; Lou Rawls, singer; Lee Trevino, golfer.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 2

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An outdated pattern of behavior is likely to slow you down today, and you'll realize that it's high time you abandoned it permanently.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can surely overlook the little things as you encourage others and help them reach farther than ever before. Don't be too critical!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you find entertaining today others may find bothersome, so you're going to have to find some middle ground that satisfies you and them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Trust in common courtesy to open doors for you today. You certainly needn't make your requests too formal or too forceful, either.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will require remote assistance today in order to complete a project that is quickly coming down to the wire. Avoid usual distractions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may not completely understand all of the forces that are causing a fluctuation in pace at this time. You can, however, ride them out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You should be able to reach farther today than expected, thanks to someone who has removed several barriers that stood in your path.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You're in the mood for a snow day, but there are things you must get done even though you're not feeling up to it. You can push through!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- A single stroke of luck today can turn things around for you in a most dramatic fashion. You'll want to remain low key, however.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your creativity is on the rise, especially in situations that require some quick thinking outside the box. Others should be impressed!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You are likely to have more room to maneuver today than expected, and you should be able to achieve something you’ve long intended as a result.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- It's not enough to cross your fingers and hope things turn out for the best; today, you must be clear and direct about what you want to happen!

Your Birthday for November 30, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 30th, 2024

Born today, you are perhaps the most straight-up, honest, forthright, outspoken and confident individual born under your sign -- and as such, you are never afraid to share your opinion with others, whether it has been solicited or not. You believe your views are valid and well-supported by experience and the facts, and you are never easily swayed by someone else's attempts at persuasion. This is because you haven't simply adopted certain beliefs and perspectives in a random manner, but because you have collected them, developed them, and let them evolve throughout your lifetime as a product of who you are, your experiences and the lessons you've learned, both directly and indirectly. Indeed, you likely know a great deal about a great deal of things!

You are quick to embrace a cause when you feel it is valid and important, but you're not one to give your name, time, talent or resources to something you consider unworthy in any way -- so you say no to those seeking your endorsement more often than not. Some may claim that you take yourself a bit too seriously -- and so you might.

Also born on this date are: Shirley Chisholm, politician; Virginia Mayo, actress; June Pointer, singer; Sir Winston Churchill, British prime minister; Mark Twain, author; Dick Clark, TV and music host; Robert Guillaume, actor; Ridley Scott, filmmaker.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A challenge arises today that takes you by surprise -- not because you are unready for it, but because you're likely to discover that you are!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can't influence forces beyond your control, but you can certainly persuade others to act in a manner appropriate to situations you encounter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It's not true that no one wants to be a member of the team you are trying to put together, but your expectations are currently unrealistic.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Take care that you don't become bossy as you guide others over a somewhat tricky landscape. Use suggestions rather than commands.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The help you need today may be available to you, but only from someone far from home. You must take advantage of all means of communication.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The more you approach a certain situation from an emotional perspective, the less you'll be able to influence. Trust in your own brainpower.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- What you envision for yourself and others at this time can be transformed into reality given time and resources, which you don't yet have.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may be surprised to learn that what you saw as an inappropriate action given current circumstances is actually just what you need to do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You may discover today that you have the authority to make certain decisions that will affect those around you in a most positive way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You may feel that you are short of money at this time, but you likely have enough to do what you must, provided you’re frugal in other areas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 23-Feb. 18) -- When it comes time for you to express yourself today, you must do so in a manner that commands attention -- and for quite a while, no doubt!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You cannot wield what power you have any way you choose today; you must do it in a manner that demonstrates care as well as clear intention.

Your Birthday for November 29, 2024

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | November 29th, 2024

Born today, you have a clear idea of where you are going and how you can get there, but you are not always as adept at determining when to begin any given phase of the journey -- and that's something you will often rely on others to tell you. This needn't be a problem of any kind, however, if you are always sure to reach out when you need information that someone else can provide you, but sometimes you think you can do it all yourself, and that's when you can encounter trouble. You must learn that to ask for help is not at all a sign of weakness, and that you demonstrate great practical wisdom when you recognize something you cannot do on your own.

You enjoy experimentation of all kinds, in your personal life as well as your professional endeavors -- and it is in your personal life that such trial and error can be both satisfying and frustrating. It all depends, of course, on what you want at the end of the day; if you are clear about that, then you may have it, and if you're not, it's likely to remain elusive.

Also born on this date are: Louisa May Alcott, author; Cathy Moriarty, actress; Kim Delaney, actress; Howie Mandel, comedian and TV host; Chuck Mangione, musician; C.S. Lewis, author; Busby Berkeley, choreographer.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You must go into a meeting confident that you are in the right. Don't let a last-minute encounter weaken your resolve in any way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What you want will be available to you today only if you ask for it directly, and at the right time. This may take some educated guesswork.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Now is no time to spend money on that which you really don't need -- especially if it's merely satisfying your taste for a current odd trend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may want to stay put today and let things develop around you without influencing events at all. Will this in any way affect a future plan?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Pay attention to those messages that seem to be afterthoughts or even trivial, as they're likely to provide the information you really need.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take the time to give yourself what you need before starting out on a journey today. Thorough preparation might involve a pep talk.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The difference between the genuine and the artificial will prove quite important to you throughout this busy day. Focus on where they overlap.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- By sheer force of will, you can get things done today that someone else was unable to do. When this is done, you'll have earned a break!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- The more concerned you are with your own profit today, the less you'll get out of a certain situation. It's not all dollars and cents!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It may be difficult to connect what happens today to the expectations you had built up yesterday and the day before. Watch very closely!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Inspiration may be in short supply during the first part of the day, but later on, you’ll have all you need and more. This may be a trend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Environmental phenomena may prove soporific to you today, but you're going to have to get scheduled work done on time nonetheless. Get moving!
