Birthday Today

If Today is Your Birthday
Forecast for 2009-2010

Born November 20 - Your Year Ahead
Realistic optimism and flexibility are your main keys to success this year, while overreaching, overdoing, and taking on more than you can handle are potential downfalls. Creative, mental, and social opportunities are strong; love may be a bit of a rollercoaster this year, but certainly exciting. Major restructuring of your life will help you to clear your head and to get your priorities straight. New and creative ideas abound; you simply need to weed out what is worthwhile and what is unrealistic at this time in your life. more

If You Were Born Today, November 20
You are a dedicated, family-loving person who is loyal to loved ones. Your personality is highly intuitive and receptive, and the quiet strength that sits just under the surface forms some of your considerable charm. Desirous and passionate, you sometimes over-indulge in the pleasures of life. Because you value partnership so strongly, you must guard against smothering your loved ones. There is a fine line for you between caring and possessiveness. Your strong character is apt to propel you into a leadership position in your career. If so, you are what might be considered a benevolent leader, as you are very big-hearted. Famous people born today: Bo Derek, Richard Dawson, Gene Tierney, Robert F. Kennedy, Joe Walsh, Edwin Hubble.

What's in Store by the Stars:

November 20, 2009

With the Moon in Capricorn all day, our feelings are expressed reservedly and sparingly. We don't want to expose ourselves to the feeling of being vulnerable. Our sense of responsibility is stronger than usual, and we aim for efficiency in most areas of life now. Our view of life in general is realistic under this lunar influence. We tend to value and demonstrate efficiency and consistency. We are cautious and draw upon common sense when making decisions. Flexibility is not a strong point just now, and might attempt to keep control, or stay on top of, every situation. Our careers and objectives are in focus with the Moon in this practical sign.
