November 3

The Marathon Runner

Your greatest challenge is:
finishing second

The way forward is: to understand that people tend to learn more about themselves during times of disappointment and defeat than they do in times of victory.

On the dark side: ruthless, depressive, closed

At your best: persistent, focused, progressive

Power thought: “I release all feelings of failure. My wonderful future is in my hands”

Luck maker: Work through worst-case scenarios

Before you act, think about the worst that could possibly happen for you, then produce a better outcome in your mind. Even if the worst does happen, you’ll know you can put another plan into action to control the damage.

People born on November 3 have all the strength and staying power of a long-distance runner. They are ambitious and energetic but know how to bide their time and go the distance to achieve their goals.

With the ability to keep calm under the most intense pressure, they can earn the reputation for being extremely cool, sometimes ruthless, customers. At times they may appear to be hesitant or passive, but all the while they are simply waiting for the right moment to strike out and achieve their goals. If there is one thing, however, that can unsettle the masterful self-control of these people it is defeat or failure. They are terrible losers and, instead of trying to find alternative solutions, they may waste tremendous energy on self recrimination and in some cases this can lead to depression.

Although they can be overwhelmingly negative at times, the upside is that when things are going well they can be energetic, charismatic, pleasure loving, and stimulating. Those lucky enough to catch them in one of these moods will be enchanted and uplifted. They can also be compassionate and supportive during these moments, with a deep understanding of the feelings of others. Unfortunately, when it comes to understanding themselves they lack similar insight, so they should look deep within to understand why the need to win can sometimes overpower their need to feel happy.

Despite being moody and intense as a teenager, after the age of twenty they will acquire a more optimistic and expansive outlook; this may lead them to broaden their horizons to seek truth, travel or study. After the age of forty-nine there is another turning point when financial and emotional stability is likely to take center stage. Throughout their lives they will always be highly competitive warriors, but once they understand that the only battle really worth winning is the one within themselves they can apply their progressive intellect, superb communication skills and almost superhuman endurance to the only cause that’s always a winner one that furthers the common good.

Love: All or nothing

Idealistic and romantic, people born on November 3 can’t see the point of half-hearted relationships. They want to be involved with someone they can share their heart and their life with; anything less is simply a waste of their energy. They long to find their soul mate and, like most things in their lives, what these people long for they tend to get.

Health: Pleasure loving

People born on this day tend to hide their emotions and true intentions both professionally and personally, and as a result they can be prone to stress and depression. Cognitive behavioural techniques to help them reprogram their thoughts from negative to positive can be extremely beneficial, as can counselling or psychotherapy. As far as diet and life style are concerned, pleasure seeking is the order of the day and they need to go easy on saturated fat and rich, exotic food because digestive problems and weight gain can be a problem. Spending more time cooking and eating at home rather than dining out or doing the party rounds is recommended, as is a healthy nutritious and balanced diet along with plenty of vigorous exercise, such as running, cycling and team sports. Carrying a malachite crystal will help bring a sense of calmness and ease, boosting their mood during times of depression, as will wearing the color orange.

Career: Born stock brokers

These people are often drawn to professions where they can exert an influence over others, such as education, management or entertainment. Other career options include business, negotiation, financial advice, writing, and the healing or caring professions.

Destiny: To transform the ambitions that drive them into reality

The life path of people born on this day is to learn to be more spontaneous and forgiving in their approach to life. Once they are able to be more tolerant, their destiny is to transform the progressive ambitions that drive them into a reality that benefits not just themselves but others.

“In the end I do respond to my own instincts. Sometimes they're successful, and obviously sometimes they're not. But you have to, I think, remain true to what you believe in.”

~ Anna Wintour, November 3, 1949

"Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act."

~ Andre Malraux, November 3, 1901

"kill your ego. speak life into things and uplift people. and quit bitchin'."

~ @exoskeleton_ , November 3, 19BlackDontCrackBB

“i don't believe we are worthy, deserving, or entitled to anything here, and our human perception of "perfection" is jokes. there's a natural balance of chaos and order. roll with it and try to survive, accept love and give love. or die a miserable cunt.”

November 4

The Ice Breaker

Your greatest challenge is:
being less provocative

The way forward is: to understand that being controversial is not the only way to make people notice or remember you.

On the dark side: overwhelming, provocative, tactless

At your best: magnetic, exciting, supportive

Power thought: “The greatest excitement and adventure is found within”

Luck maker: Look better and act dumber*

When you are self-deprecating you bring people closer to you and make them more likely to want to help you, because you are admitting you have the same fears as everyone else.

Although they can sometimes come across as conformist and sincere, as soon as people born on November 4 start interacting with others their provocative nature shines through. They have a talent for uncovering hidden weaknesses and insecurities in people and situations, and for luring everyone they meet into their tangled web of controversy and excitement.

They are extremely persuasive individuals, and in their minds they know that they have the ability to win over almost anyone to their point of view. This is not to say they are manipulative. Quite the opposite; they are principled and honest. It is just that it is almost impossible for them to believe there are any alternatives to the truth as they see it.

Above all, these people are ice breakers wherever they find themselves. They make full use of the element of surprise and are somehow able to articulate what is unspoken or unacceptable in the most humorous or convincing way, so that others are lured into either agreeing with them or at least reviewing their own position. Unfortunately, however, their shock tactics can work against them. They may, for example, find that the situations they have stirred up have got out of hand or the views they are expressing have truly overwhelmed or offended.

Until the age of eighteen, they may have come across as shy or intense. After the age of nineteen, however, that slowly recedes and is replaced by a growing need for freedom and the desire to expand their horizons through study, education or travel. After the age of forty-eight there is another turning point when the emphasis is on financial and emotional security. Whatever age they are, the key to success is to use their common sense and become more aware of the way their stance toward life is affecting others and, ultimately, themselves. When greater self-awareness and self-discipline are combined with their intuitive perception and natural leadership qualities, they are capable of achieving not controversial or shocking but truly spectacular results in life.

Love: Inventive and intelligent

People born on November 4 are quick to throw themselves into social situations that can maximize their chances of attracting admirers and potential partners. Once they learn to love themselves for who they are and overcome hurts from their past, they have the potential to attract and hold on to their ideal partner—someone inventive and intelligent like themselves.

Health: The mind-body link

People born on this day need to be aware of the powerful link between their physical and emotional or mental health. When they are feeling run down or have succumbed to a bout of illness, the chances are a period of stress, uncertainty or unhappiness was the trigger. Although a certain amount of illness keeps their immune system in working order, if they find they are lurching from one infection or virus to another they need to take a long hard look at their life and relationships to see where the weakness might lie. It is important to ensure they schedule into their busy diary plenty of time for rest and relaxation. As far as diet is concerned, the fresher and more natural their food the better; they could have digestive upsets if they eat food too rich in additives and preservatives. Regular exercise, in particular long walks in the park or countryside, is highly recommended to help them gain a sense of balance and perspective. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color green will help bring greater harmony and hope.

Career: Born social reformers

These people need to be in careers where they can reach the widest possible audience, so they may be drawn to acting, writing, journalism, and performing, or even politics and social reform. Other career options that might appeal include business, commerce, medicine, psychology, education, and the worlds of religion or philosophy.

Destiny: To instigate reform

The life path of people born on this day is to learn to take a more neutral, balanced perspective. Once they are able to tone down their enthusiasm to a level that supports but does not offend, their destiny is to effectively present their viewpoints to instigate reform.

*disclaimer: this sounds like bullsh*t advice imo. One can be vulnerable without pretending to be (aka "act dumb"). Just sayin'....

November 5

The Representative

Your greatest challenge is:
self-reliance

The way forward is:to understand that as long as you rely on others for a sense of self-worth, you will not be in control of your life; they will be.

On the dark side:Deluded, gossipy, over-accommodating

At your best:inquisitive, up to date, honest

Power thought: “I am at the center of my world. What I think and feel matters”

Luck maker: celebrate being you

Only when you are comfortable with yourself can you be confident in your skills and talents, attracting the luck and recognition you deserve.

People born on November 5 like to be at the center of things; this is often where you will find them. They are the ones others tend to turn to if they want to be in the know, not just because they can be assured of an honest and informed response but because consciously or unconsciously they are representatives of the social group, family or occupation they belong to.

As information gatherers, these people keep up to date with what is current, not because they are gossips or busy bodies, but because their forte is spotting cutting-edge trends before anyone else. Sometimes their mind seems to be focused in another dimension because it is suffering from information overload, but despite their occasional absent-mindedness they are determined individuals and real powerhouses who get things accomplished. Their realism means that they refuse to let their idealism get in the way of practical considerations.

Until the age of seventeen they may have presented a somewhat withdrawn or intense persona, but after the age of eighteen there is a dramatic change which sees them becoming more confident and outgoing. This may lead them to expand their mental outlook and to develop their characteristic fascination with what’s going on around them. After the age of forty-eight they become more organized and industrious, with a greater understanding of their goals in life. The key to their success, whatever their age or stage in life, will not be their ability to adapt to what is going on around them, but their ability to control and direct it.

The lesson in life they need to learn is that until they are as fascinated in their own self-development as they are in keeping up with what other people are doing, the outstanding potential for personal achievement associated with this birthday will remain elusive. However, once they start to become more self-aware, not only will they find greater happiness, they will also be able to use their incredible insight and knowledge to represent and to benefit others.

Love: Sensitive and powerful

People born on November 5 have sensitive and powerful emotions, and a part of them fears that they will disappear in a close relationship. But when they find the right partner, giving love and sharing space with another human being is a liberating and empowering experience for them. They are drawn to intelligent, honest and independent people, like themselves.

Health: Steer clear of the latest fads

People born on this day have a tendency to be reactive in their dealings with other people, and this can trigger anxiety and uncertainty. Self-knowledge and the ability to control their responses to people and situations are therefore crucial for their emotional health. To achieve these they may need plenty of time alone, perhaps even therapy or counseling, to discover who they are and what they want out of life. When it comes to their physical health, they are likely to be very up to date with the latest trends, but they should steer clear of fad diets and exercise routines. Instead they should stick with a healthy balanced diet that includes all food groups and a moderate exercise, program that includes aerobic activity for 30 to 40 minutes at least five times a week, toning exercises every other day and gentle stretching daily. Carrying a carnelian crystal around with them will help promote balance, courage, compassion, vitality, and personal power.

Career: Born advertisers

Scientific, technology and business careers as well as writing and acting could be ideal careers for these people, but they may also be drawn to negotiation, arbitration, public relations, sales, or advertising. They may have a gift for selling or promoting ideas or products, but their excellent organizational skills and inquisitive mind will help them succeed in any career that they choose.

Destiny: To enlighten others

The life path of people born on this day is to take charge of their lives rather than allowing circumstances or other people to set the tone. Once they are able to establish a sense of their own identity, their destiny is to reveal information and help enlighten others in the process.

“A lot of people think the path to success is a straight line, but it's not. It has got many turns and curves, and you just got to go with the ebbs and flows of it all.”

~ Kevin Jonas, November 5, 1987

“The stories I most love are about the benefits of being blown off course.”

~ Tilda Swinton, November 5, 1960

“When you can take away the ego, you learn a lot about yourself and the world around you.”

~ Kevin Jonas, November 5, 1987

“I'm proud of who I am and what I became. I still have a long way to go, things about me that I want to improve, but so far I did a great job. I just wish I was more at peace with myself, but I'm sure it will come with time."

November 6

The Energetic Over-Achiever

Your greatest challenge is:
handling disappointment

The way forward is: to understand that unless you know what it feels like to lose or miss out, you will not be able to fully appreciate what it feels like to succeed.

On the dark side: over-confident, driven, despondent

At your best: optimistic, energetic, uplifting

Power thought: “I am filled with energy and enthusiasm to make positive changes in my life”

Luck maker: Avoid black holes

Make a serious effort to seek out people who think positively, and limit your association with people who see themselves as victims or who love to create negative energy.

Vibrant and stimulating, people born on November 6 have boundless energy and the ability to create an enthusiastic environment wherever they go, stimulating and motivating others with their infectious, limitless and honest enthusiasm.

Driven and ambitious, with a can-do attitude, these people typically refuse to be sidetracked or blocked from the goals that excite them by limitations or obstacles. Although this gives them incredible potential for success there is a danger, however, that they can get ahead of themselves with their enthusiasm and become too confident of success without the necessary plans or back-up. Sometimes their aims can appear so far reaching that others simply brand them as unfeasible; although they will often shake off criticism with humor, a part of them feels deeply hurt that others don’t believe in them enough.

Surrounding themselves with people who are as optimistic and upbeat as themselves will lift their spirits, but it is also important for them to make sure that they inject a heavy dose of realism into their lives. A realistic outlook is not a negative one but one that takes into account both the upsides and the downsides of a situation.

After the age of sixteen, people born on this day start to develop their characteristic enthusiasm, energy and drive, and they are likely to be positive and expansive in their outlook. This may lead them to further education or travel, or stimulate them to be adventurous and take chances. This influence continues until the age of forty-six, when they become more realistic, practical and organized in their approach to life, with a strong need for order in their lives. Given the fact that realism is an important ingredient for their psychological growth, these are the years when they will finally be able to come to terms with the fact that there will always be positive and negative outcomes to consider. This rational outlook will empower them on their dedicated quest to enlighten others and realize their innovative visions.

Love: Take your pick

People born on November 6 tend to be attracted to people who are unobtainable and aloof. This is their way of protecting themselves, but as an approach to love it is damaging. They need to take a good long look at what they can have; and with their charming and attractive personality, when it comes to affairs of the heart they can have a lot.

Health: Pace yourself

People born on this day are blessed with limitless supplies of energy, but even they can overreach themselves. If they don’t take care of themselves with regular health check-ups, a healthy diet and plenty of moderate exercise, they could find that their energy suddenly slumps. Fatigue and burnout are a real concern, and it is important for them to learn to pace themselves. Regular vacations and plenty of time to relax and unwind, as well as quality sleep most nights, are essential. They may also benefit from mind-body techniques such as yoga and meditation that can encourage them to slow down both mentally and physically. As far as diet is concerned, drinking a glass of lemon with water as soon as they get up in the morning will help boost their digestive system, and increasing their intake of fiber is beneficial too. Carrying a malachite crystal with them can help balance their emotions, bringing a sense of calmness and ease.

Career: Born entertainers

These people need to find a career that puts their incredible energy to good use and they may find themselves drawn to the world of entertainment, international business, tourism, the leisure and sports industries, and education. With their talent for troubleshooting and need for action, they may also thrive in technology, science, politics, and the emergency services. Music, dance or writing may also be attractive options for them.

Destiny: To pursue the common good

The life path of people born on this day is to learn to temper their enthusiasm with realism. Once they have learned how to handle setbacks, their destiny is to be inspired leaders and to follow their instincts to pursue the common good.

November 7

The Curious Adventurer

Your greatest challenge is:
to be decisive

The way forward is:to understand that your mind will present you with all sorts of excuses not to move forward with your life, but inaction will keep you stuck.

On the dark side:scattered, restless, unfocused

At your best:inquisitive, pioneering, refreshing

Power thought: “Every day I can see my glorious future more clearly”

Luck maker:write down what you want

If you want to make good luck happen, you have to write down what you want. You can’t create luck unless you know what you want to achieve.

People born on November 7 tend to be inquisitive and progressive types with an adventurous, pioneering spirit. They relish any opportunity to learn and discover something new, and to test their skills in demanding challenges.

There is very little that they don’t want to learn about or understand better. Their curiosity is limitless and nothing gives them more satisfaction than being able to figure out what makes a person tick or how something works. In addition they are extremely ambitious and driven individuals who thrive on variety and change; being caught in a mundane, routine existence is their personal nightmare. Although the potential for remarkable success in exploring the outermost parameters of human knowledge is great for these people, the biggest threat to their potential is their lack of focus. In some ways their greatest strength—their inquisitive spirit—is also their greatest weakness, because their constant need to struggle, learn and challenge can stop them setting achievable goals for themselves.

Until the age of forty-five they are likely to be at their most restless and may have a burning urge to study, travel and expand their horizons in as many new directions as possible. After the age of forty-five, however, there is an important turning point when—with a strong need for order and structure—they are likely to become more realistic, practical and organized in order to achieve their goals in life.

This is not to say that the first part of their lives is chaotic, because if they set themselves personal goals and pursue them actively they can achieve great success. It is just that for many of these people the second part of their lives tends to be the most fulfilling and rewarding. This is because they can build on the incredible knowledge and experience they have gained in their youth and use it as a launching pad to work toward realizing their goals—those that they believe will be of great benefit not just to themselves and those they live and work with, but to the wider world.

Love: Intelligent lovers

People born on November 7 are thoughtful, affectionate, supportive, and intelligent lovers, but they need to be given the freedom to explore and investigate outside a relationship—not physically but intellectually. There is a tendency for them to be controlling and jealous; for their long-term happiness they need to give their lover the same freedom and trust that they expect for themselves.

Health: Check your iron levels

Fatigue, both intellectual and physical, can be a big problem for people born on this day, and to make sure they don’t suffer from energy slumps they need plenty of good quality sleep and sufficient iron in their diet. If they have been on and off diets for years, drink lots of tea and coffee and are vegetarian, low iron levels could be a problem, so a vitamin and mineral supplement which includes iron is advised. Problems with their digestive and reproductive systems could also occur so they should ensure they have regular check-ups with their doctor and eat a diet rich in hormone-balancing and digestion-boosting nutrients. Regular exercise is important, whether they have weight problems or not. Fortunately, most people born on this day love to move, so this should not be an issue. Wearing or meditating on the color blue will encourage them to be more goal-orientated.

Career: Born discoverers

These multi-talented people have the potential to thrive in any career and to pioneer progress. Possible work options include social reform, sporting or artistic careers and scientific innovation, but they may also be drawn toward writing, education, research, politics, and the world of entertainment. Alternatively, they may prefer to work on a self-employed basis.

Destiny: To inspire and educate others with their positive attitude

The life path of people born on this day is not to let their love of knowledge interfere with their potential to make a mark on the world. Once they have learned to focus, their destiny is to inspire and educate others with their positive and enthusiastic attitude.

“My mother tells me the same story every year about how I did not arrive on her due date and was a late baby. Had to be forced out. Sounds like me....fashionably late (or maybe not so fashionably lol) and afraid to enter this great big world. So on this day, many years ago, at 5:28 in the morning, I was born. Through many ups and downs and I'm sure many more to come...I've realized that this great big world isn't so bad after all.”

November 8

Dark Fascination

Your greatest challenge is:
developing a sense of humor

The way forward is: to understand that if you take yourself too seriously you will lose the sense of perspective and objectivity you need to make good judgments.

On the dark side: obsessed, overly serious, addictive

At your best: deep, driven, inquisitive

Power thought: “I am now willing to move towards the light and my greater good”

Luck maker: Honor your inner child

Children are a never-ending source of amazement and insight. They can teach you a lot about yourself, what’s important in life and how to be happy.

Although they are blessed with imaginative and progressive minds, people born on November 8 can come across as serious or intense. They tend to be attracted to unusual subjects that others would consider borderline, shadowy or dark. In some cases their interests may even be considered peculiar or, at the very least, out of the ordinary.

They are brilliant at concentrating their energy on achieving their goals, and this, combined with their courage and ambition, augurs well for professional success. Many will attract money their way, rise to the top of their career or make a comfortable standard of living an important goal in their lives. Sometimes the desire to achieve materially can be so strong that it becomes overpowering in its intensity; it is important for these people to remember what is truly important in life.

It is their curiosity which draws these people to the shadowy aspects of life, and a part of them longs to push the boundaries of knowledge and experience to their limits. If they are able to maintain objectivity they have the potential to be innovating pioneers; but if they can’t keep their distance, there is a real risk of their becoming too closely identified with the darker aspects of the world and the shadow side of themselves.

Until the age of thirty-three, the urge for these people to explore the unconventional is at its strongest; during these years they need to remember that, as fascinating as the unconventional is, there is also much to be learned from what is routine. After the age of thirty-four there is a turning point when they start to become more practical, disciplined and goal-orientated in the realization of their objectives. Whatever age they are, however, the key to their success is their ability to confront their inner fears rather than seeking it outside. When they can do this, their hunger to explore the meaning of life will inevitably draw them away from the darkness within to the light of understanding, compassion, love, and what is truly important in life.

Love: Strong and passionate desires

Although they may come across as somewhat reserved or serious, people born on November 8 Zodiac have strong and passionate desires. They may be tempted to date people who are unusual or dangerous in some way, but their chances of happiness will increase significantly if they date someone clever and interesting, but also grounded and secure.

Health: Overspending

People born on this day like to spend, and it is important for them to make sure that this doesn’t get out of hand, as being in debt will make them feel anxious and unsettled. As for alcohol, gambling and recreational drugs, they need to avoid them too as they will lead them down a dangerous path. Because they find it hard to open up to others they may bottle up their emotions; this can have a damaging effect, so counselling or therapy might prove beneficial. As far as diet is concerned, the emphasis needs to be on fresh, natural or organic, and the more colorful fruits and vegetables they have on their plate the better. Regular moderate exercise is recommended, in particular yoga and tai chi which can encourage their minds and their bodies to become more flexible. Above all, spending more time relaxing and having fun is highly recommended to help them keep a sense of perspective and be a little less intense. Wearing the color orange will help them feel more spontaneous and encourage them to reach out to others.

Career: Born criminologists

These people are well suited to careers in which they can express their creativity and indulge their curiosity; they may make superb criminologists, psychologists, writers, musicians, or pioneering scientists and engineers. Other careers that might appeal include administration, education, counselling and law, or occupations of a philosophical or religious nature.

Destiny: To expand the frontiers of human knowledge

The life path of people born on this day is to balance the shadowy and the lighter sides of their personality. Once they have developed a healthy sense of balance and perspective, their destiny is to explore the unconventional and expand the frontiers of human knowledge.

November 9

Temptation

Your greatest challenge is:
resisting temptation

The way forward is: to understand that the forbidden often seems tempting just because it is forbidden.

On the dark side: materialistic, thoughtless, seedy

At your best: interesting, curious, seductive

Power thought: “The path I choose is one of wisdom, light and joy”

Luck maker: Make time for your soul

Whenever you take time to reflect on yourself and your life, you are taking care of your soul. This is the real you, and serving it brings you inner peace and happiness—the prerequisites for luck.

Many times during their lives people born on November 9 will find themselves in situations that test and challenge their resolve. Temptation and the moral issues it uncovers for them are a constant factor in their lives.

The pursuit of physical and material pleasure is a powerful drive for these people. The great majority of the time they do find a balance between satisfying their urges and doing the right thing, but occasionally they can dip into behavior that is morally questionable. This isn’t to say that they are amoral. Quite the opposite; they are honest and well-intentioned individuals. It’s just that sometimes they can get so caught up in the enticement of the moment that they lose a sense of perspective and of right and wrong.

Not surprisingly, these people are risk-takers, and this gives them the potential to go all the way to the top. Unfortunately, they aren’t always good at dealing with rejection and, instead of treating it as a learning experience, they are likely to isolate themselves with resentment and self-pity. Learning to become more resilient or to roll with the blows by tapping into their inner strength is therefore essential for their psychological growth.

Until the age of forty-two, they are most likely to feel a need to expand their horizons, take risks and seek out new challenges. Developing a more positive attitude will encourage them to seek out opportunities that can enlighten rather than confuse or disorientate them. After the age of forty-three there is a turning point when they are likely to become more industrious and practical, needing a strong sense of order and structure in their lives. Making sure that the spiritual side of their life is not neglected is absolutely crucial during these years, because when they are able to connect with their inner wisdom they will not only be able to resist the temptations that block their chances of good fortune, they will be able to rise above these and achieve remarkable success both professionally and personally.

Love: Strong yearnings

People born on November 9 love deeply and intensely, and, because they are extraordinarily seductive, they rarely lack admirers. Surprising,ly given their energetic and sexual nature, some born on this day may choose to be celibate. In the right mood they can be spontaneous and passionate, but they can also be moody and distant, which may confuse their partner.

Health: Strong reactions

People born on this day may be prone to allergies of all kinds, in particular hay fever, but they may also find it hard to deal with cigarette smoke and dust. Keeping away from smoky environments and heavy traffic, and making sure their house is regularly cleaned and bed linen is washed at least once a week, will help. As far as diet is concerned, they could suffer from food allergies and intolerances; if this is the case, checking with a nutritionist to determine the cause is advisable. Because their lives tend to be stressful, making sure they eat a balanced diet, get plenty of exercise and a good night’s sleep will all help keep them grounded. Meditation and yoga are also recommended to help them get in touch with their thoughts and feelings. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the colors white or silver will encourage them to examine situations carefully, and make the right choices for themselves and for others.

Career: Born forensic officers

The limitless possibilities of art and design have obvious appeal for these people but they may also be drawn toward law, psychology, research, or medicine. They have a natural talent for writing and lecturing, and may also excel in business, commerce, sales, promotion or negotiation, as well as show business and politics.

Destiny: To uncover the truth

The life path of people born on this day is to learn to look beyond the present moment. Once they have an awareness of the future consequences of their actions, their destiny is to inspire others to uncover the truth about themselves and their lives.

November 10

Awareness

Your greatest challenge is:
developing self-confidence

The way forward is: to understand that you are as confident as you believe yourself to be; change your thoughts about yourself and you can change your world.

On the dark side: shy, passive, self-absorbed

At your best: self-aware, creative, practical

Power thought: “My life and friends reflect the positive and inspiring thoughts of my heart”

Luck maker: express your emotions

You won’t attract luck if you are reserved. You need to be excited about everything, so people think of you as inspiring; the more appealing you are, the more likely you are to attract good fortune your way.

People born on November 10 are among the most self-aware of the year. From an early age they will have got to know their strengths and weaknesses very well, and as a result they have a realistic idea of what is or is not achievable for them. This self-knowledge gives them a huge advantage in the game of life and, when combined with their curiosity, intelligence and originality of thought, their potential for success is considerable.

These people don’t simply have a unique understanding of themselves; they also have a natural understanding of how objects, strategies or methods work. For example, they are the first person to whom others will turn when things break down, because to others they are the fixers and menders in life.

There is, however, one subject of which people born on this day have very little understanding and awareness, and that is other people. Individual and group dynamics are a mystery to them, so when it comes to socializing and networking they may feel out of their depth. They need to learn that, however good they are at their job, if they don’t have the right connections or social skills to promote themselves there is a strong likelihood that they will not get the recognition or success they deserve. Working on their self-confidence and social skills is therefore a top priority.

Fortunately, until the age of forty-two there are opportunities for them to step outside themselves and reach out to others; they should take these opportunities, however hard or frightening they may appear, because becoming unhealthily self-absorbed is a real risk to their chances of happiness and fulfillment. After the age of forty-three there is another turning point when they are likely to become more practical, disciplined and goal orientated; again, if they can learn to overcome their shyness, put the spotlight on others instead of themselves and resist the temptation to hold back when they should be pushing forward, they will be able to make the most of their remarkable creative potential and achieve almost anything.

Love: Emotional damage

People born on November 10 can come across as reserved, but once they have learned to be more confident in social settings they will have no problems attracting admirers. In relationships they can be intense and passionate, but there is a tendency for them to draw outwardly confident but inwardly emotionally damaged individuals to them. This will continue until they allow themselves to be more assertive.

Health: Confidence boost

People born on this day tend to bottle up their emotions, and this can lead to stress and poor health. It is important for them to learn to open up and to be more trusting because when they do, all aspects of their life—emotional, physical and spiritual—will improve. Counselling and therapy could be beneficial. They also tend to have long-term health problems that they learn to live with, but instead of learning to live with these it would be far better if they took a proactive approach and constantly challenged their doctor for new treatments or new advice to ease their conditions. As far as diet is concerned, they love to eat a wide variety of different foods and, as long as they avoid excess, this is extremely positive for their health. Regular exercise, in particular dancing which can encourage them to be more expressive, is also highly recommended. Wearing the color orange will increase feelings of warmth, physical enjoyment, security and sexuality, and wearing the color yellow will give them a confidence boost.

Career: Born academics

Careers that offer them intermittent solitude appeal to these people and they may be drawn to academia, the arts and science. Other career choices include psychology, investigative work, education, philosophy medicine, tourism, and the world of entertainment.

Destiny: To inspire others with their progressive concepts

The life path of people born on this day is to learn to reach out to others with confidence. Once they have fine-tuned their people skills, their destiny is to enlighten, inspire or help others with their progressive concepts.

November 11

The Charismatic Wanderer

Your greatest challenge is:
overcoming inertia

The way forward is: to understand that you are letting fear or laziness take control of your actions. Change this by regaining control of your life.

On the dark side: insecure, dependent, unaware

At your best: enthusiastic, inspiring, generous

Power thought: “I am a rich treasure ready to be found”

Luck maker: Let others in

Locking everyone out never helps you get in touch with what you want. The more you share your ideas with others, the more others are likely to offer you opportunities.

People born on November 11 will often present an energetic, bright and cheerful face to the world, but to those who know them better this is more often than not a veil masking an intense and original but sometimes troubled personality.

These charismatic individuals know how to appear attractive to others and as a result they tend to get their own way, often without others realizing it because veiling their powerful ambition is, they believe, the best way to win others to their point of view. Above all, they are complex characters with the ability to surprise others with their hidden talents and unexpected sides to their character. Unfortunately, they are often extremely confused about what their motivations are, what they want out of life and in which direction they should be heading. This can obviously have a confusing effect on others, presenting a straightforward, energetic persona and clear-cut goals on the one hand, but manifesting a propensity for anxiety and uncertainty on the other. It is only when they are able to reconcile these two sides of their personality that their potential for success and happiness can finally be unveiled.

Until the age of forty there is a growing need for optimism and expansion through study, travel or a personal quest for meaning in life. If they can find a way to be more assertive in stating what their needs are, and be more flexible and creative when setbacks occur, the promise they may have showed from an early age will manifest. After the age of forty there is a turning point when they are likely to become more pragmatic and realistic in their approach to life.

It is more important than ever during these years that they don’t allow hidden fears and insecurities to plunge them into procrastination, resentment and obscurity This would be a tragedy because, if they can summon the courage to lift their veils, they are destined to shine, contributing their talents and energies to the greater good.

Love: In need of guidance

People born on November 11 are sociable and attractive, and their generous nature ensures they will have plenty of friends and admirers. When it comes to close relationships, however, they may find that they are drawn to older or parental figures who can take care of them and offer them support and guidance. As long as they understand this dynamic and don’t abuse it, their potential for success and happiness in love is strong.

Health: Boost self-esteem

People born on this day will often be extremely concerned about their appearance and physical health. Although this is a positive thing, they should not go to extremes because this will have the opposite effect from that which was intended, making them feel anxious, tired and unattractive. For example, they should not over-exercise, or go overboard with health and beauty treatments. Reminding themselves of the cliched but true fact that beauty comes from within is important. They would benefit greatly from counselling and therapy to gain a better understanding of themselves; meditation and yoga are also recommended. There is a danger, however, of becoming overdependent on doctors, gurus or health advisors. As far as diet is concerned, they could have addictive personalities and need to limit their intake of alcohol, caffeine, foods high in fat and sugar, and all kinds of recreational drugs. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color yellow will help them feel more confident and in control.

Career: Born builders

These people may lean toward careers that involve writing, performing or research, those in which they can demonstrate hands-on skills such as building, repair or technical work. They may also become good psychologists, advisors, lecturers, and teachers. Occupations connected to the public or tourism might appeal, as might community or charity work.

Destiny: To assist, direct and inspire others by their example

The life path of people born on this day is to learn to set themselves goals. Once they have found a sense of direction, their destiny is to assist, direct or inspire others with their positive example.

November 12

Mesmerizing Prerogative

Your greatest challenge is:
taking responsibility

The way forward is: to understand that until you can own up to the part you play in shaping your destiny, life will feel confusing and out of control.

On the dark side: selfish, amoral, troubled

At your best: illuminating, magnetic, generous

Power thought: “Every moment I spend in stillness brings my true self closer”

Luck maker: Be a role model

Think of yourself as an inspiring role model for the next generation. When you think about what others can admire about you, your behavior will soon catch up and attract luck your way.

People born on November 12 feel it is their right to attract attention or get whatever they want from others and from life. With such powerful expectations, the chances should be good for their success and happiness. Unfortunately, in some cases the opposite is true.

These people have the potential to be the most mesmerizing and seductive individuals of the year. In some cases others don’t just listen to or even follow them, but worship the fact that they can bring excitement and beauty into their lives. Their boldness and imagination are outstanding, but unfortunately they aren’t always the positive force they seem to have been destined to be from an early age. This is because they have a tendency to flout not just convention but moral and ethical codes to get what they want. In some cases the ends may justify the means, but there will also be times when they do not; their success may depend on how subtle they are in bending the rules, and how considerate and kind they are toward others.

Despite their golden aura, in many ways they are complex individuals able to bring beauty and harmony to the world, but possessing deep internal conflicts between their strong, sometimes dark and always confusing emotions. These conflicts may prevent them from realizing their goals and it is only after great personal struggle that they are finally in a position to claim their victory.

Until the age of thirty-nine there is an emphasis in their lives on adventure and freedom, and they may wish to explore and expand their mental outlook through study or travel. After the age of forty there is a turning point when they are likely to take a more disciplined and practical approach. Whatever age they are, the key to their success will be their ability to remember the importance of the emotional well-being that is vital to their happiness. When they are able to do that, happiness and success won’t just be their prerogative—they will be their reality.

Love: Lucky in love

People born on November 12 are charming, seductive and sensual, and attracting partners comes easily to them. Once in a relationship they can be loyal and passionate, as well as tender. They can, however, sometimes have problems accepting that they are loved and may try to provoke tension or conflict, where there is none, to elicit a response.

Health: You are what you think

People born on this day need to remember that what they think about tends to manifest in their lives, so if their thoughts are negative they will attract people who are negative. This is especially the case for them as they are so mesmerizing that others tend to gravitate toward them. Learning to concentrate and retrain their thoughts is therefore essential for their success, as well as their physical and emotional health. As far as diet is concerned, they may be prone to comfort eating, and again will-power is called for. Regular exercise, in particular running, may also help take their mind off food, as can chatting with friends, taking up a hobby or treating themselves to a massage or a good book. Meditation, yoga and the study of spirituality may also be beneficial, and wearing and meditating on the color purple will encourage them to think less of themselves and more of higher things.

Career: Born gurus

Although a lot of these people’s energy will be taken up by their internal conflict they have a great deal of energy left over for others, and this may lead to an interest in careers in which they can offer their support, advice and assistance. They may be drawn to teaching, the healing or caring professions, medicine, law, the emergency services, social and charity work. In addition, they possess a good aptitude for business, promotion and sales, or may choose to become actors, directors, writers, and musicians.

Destiny: To give an illuminating gift to humanity

The life path of people born on this day is to learn that it is not just their right to be happy and fulfilled, but everyone’s right. Once they have learned to confront their inner demons, their destiny is to make an illuminating gift to humanity.

November 13

Conversion

Your greatest challenge is:
changing your mind

The way forward is: to understand that refusing to acknowledge alternative viewpoints or possibilities blocks the possibility of change and progress.

On the dark side: dogamtic, authoritarian, blinkered

At your best: passionate, determined, spiritual

Power thought: “An open mind is an enlightened mind”

Luck maker: open your mind

An open and curious mind is an essential luck-making tool. Narrow-minded people miss opportunities because when something better comes along they are so wrapped up in their familiar beliefs that they can’t see it.

People born on November 13 are highly observant, with strong and passionate convictions. They can absorb all kinds of data, subject it to rigorous analysis and then pronounce their strong opinions. At some point they may have undergone a powerful conversion of some kind which now influences all their beliefs and opinions.

The views that these people present to the world tend to be well informed but their personal conviction will always shine through. The conversion that they may have undergone will not necessarily have been religious, it could simply be a specific way of looking at the world; but whatever it was, there is a tendency for them to gather information to support their beliefs rather than the other way around. This is not to say that they are not logical or reasonable. Quite the opposite; their opinions will always be well presented and clearly thought out. It’s just that they are so optimistic and passionate in their beliefs that they find it impossible to acknowledge that there can be any other truth than their own.

Until the age of thirty-eight they tend to be at their most zealous, with a strong emphasis on idealism and optimism. It is extremely important during these years that they don’t become inflexible and authoritarian, and make a real effort to take on board what other people are saying to them. After the age of thirty-nine there is a turning point when they start to have a more determined and disciplined approach to life. During these years it’s crucial that they don’t allow their idealism to slip into dogmatism. If they can learn to be more flexible in their beliefs, they are less likely to alienate or offend others and attract misfortune.

Whatever age they are, getting to know themselves better will help them see that having strong opinions is not the same as having a sense of self. With a more flexible and open mind they will discover within themselves the potential to promote their cause or their opinions in a remarkable way.

Love: Determined and inspiring individuals

People born on November 13 Zodiac are often attracted to hardworking, determined and inspiring individuals like themselves who share similar beliefs. It would be healthier for them, however, if they chose a partner with a different set of beliefs or way of approaching life, as this would encourage them to be openminded. Once in a relationship they can be devoted and affectionate, but they have a tendency to be insecure.

Health: The healing powers of music

People born on this day tend to lead fast-paced lives and, if they don’t give themselves enough time to relax and unwind, they can become very unhappy and exhausted. Music can be a great healer for them, in particular classical music. Many born on this day could also benefit from more time spent in the countryside observing the natural rhythms of nature and the seasons. Yoga and meditation are also highly recommended, as well as karate or other disciplines which involve some kind of mental training. Regular moderate to mild exercise is recommended, as is a healthy balanced diet low in salt and sugar, because high blood pressure and weight gain could be a health risk for them. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color green will encourage them to have a sense of balance and perspective; the color blue will encourage them to be more objective.

Career: Born politicians

These people may find themselves drawn to scientific or technical careers, but they may also be interested in professions that enable them to instruct or inspire others such as teaching, journalism, politics, or religion. Other work options include writing, law, psychology, research, lecturing, and the medical and healing professions. Whatever career they choose, it is important for them to have a passionate belief in it.

Destiny: To inform or enlighten others

The life path of people born on this day is to learn to open their mind to let other viewpoints in. Once they have greater objectivity, their destiny is to inform or enlighten others.

November 14

The guide

Your greatest challenge is:
being sensitive to the feelings of others

The way forward is: to understand that the truth presented tactfully can be motivational but the truth presented harshly can make others defensive.

On the dark side: Interfering, controlling, frustrated

At your best: intelligent, observant, helpful

Power thought: “To truly help others I must first help myself”

Luck maker: Thrust and squeeze

The bonding power of a firm handshake signifies energy, trust and strength and is more likely to impress people and make them want to offer their support than a limp wrist. Most lucky people have firm handshakes.

People born on November 14 have an intense and earnest air about them, others immediately sensing their conviction and self-reliance. They are driven by their desire to fully understand what life presents them with but most of all by their urge to guide others toward improvement.

Tending to observe others with a degree of affectionate distance, this gives these people the detachment and objectivity they need to guide and improve the lives of others. More often than not the insights and advice they offer are embraced wholeheartedly by colleagues, friends and loved ones, but sometimes they can be too meddling. It is important for them to understand that there are situations in which their advice will not necessarily be welcome and occasions where their judgments will not be appreciated.

Until the age of thirty-seven there will be opportunities for people born on this day to become more expansive in their outlook and, because of their tendency to connect with others on an intellectual rather than an emotional level, they should try to integrate more with others and with society as a whole. It is also important during this time that they evaluate their choice of career intensely and if need be make changes, because it might significantly impact their psychological growth. After the age of thirty-eight there is a turning point when they may become more realistic, persevering and security conscious, seeking more structure and order.

Whatever career they choose, they tend to see themselves as teachers or guides and have all the passion, integrity and intellect they need to be a positive force in the lives of others. However, it is not until they are able to turn the spotlight on their own needs, in particular their own need for guidance and support, that they will be able to balance their orientation toward others with their own needs. Ironically, it is only when they can find what gives their own life meaning and fulfillment that they can truly assist others, becoming the inspirational guide and role model they were destined to be.

Love: Trust is everything

Relationships are deep and intense for people born on November 14, and trust means everything to them. It may take them a while to give that trust, but once they do they love forever, sometimes even when that trust is betrayed. They are attracted to dramatic and intelligent people like themselves, who can inspire them to be more expressive and original than they already are.

Health: Naturopathy

People born on this day may suffer from mild rashes and bouts of insomnia. These could be food intolerances but could also be a result of unnecessary stress and anxiety about their health. They may visit their doctor once too often for minor ailments; although it is important to take precautions, they should have more faith in their body’s ability to heal itself; perhaps studying the principles of naturopathy will be beneficial. As far as diet is concerned, they tend to be very good cooks and, as long as they don’t go overboard on sugar, salt and rich sauces and spices, their diet is often healthy. If weight is a problem they need to make sure that they don’t get obsessed with exercise, reminding themselves that although regular exercise is beneficial for health and will help them lose weight, the key to weight control often lies in the head; they may need to stop thinking of themselves as overweight. Carrying a quartz crystal will help boost their mood and reenergize their zest and vitality in all situations.

Career: Born advisors

These people have a natural affinity with careers in which they can help, guide or assist others, such as social work, therapy, the medical professions, counselling, and teaching. They may also be drawn toward writing, research and psychology, as well as the theater, music and the arts.

Destiny: To guide, assist and inspire others

The life path of people born on this day is to learn to maintain a healthy intellectual and emotional equilibrium. Once they have learned to balance their own needs with those of others, their destiny is to offer practical and emotional support, guidance and assistance to others.

November 15

The Cobra

Your greatest challenge is:
really trusting other people

The way forward is: to appreciate that people tend to respond to your expectations of them; approach them in the spirit of trust and they are likely to return the favor.

On the dark side: wary, volatile, defensive

At your best: courageous, exciting, brilliant

Power thought: “I am open and receptive to all that is good in the universe”

Luck maker: Emit a new signal

What you are suspicious of, you tend to attract because you are powerfully focused on it. To change your fortunes for the better, go within and emit a new signal with your thoughts and feelings.

People born on November 15 have an air of the unexpected about them. Smooth and slick but with the deadly accuracy of a cobra, they can strike out suddenly and unexpectedly in defense or attack. These people never have a straightforward existence and their life appears to be a series of unforeseen encounters, challenges or confrontations; but instead of crumbling under this kind of intensity, they thrive on it. In fact, these people are unlikely to avoid any kind of conflict or challenge, and once engaged in an argument they will never be the first to back down. They are brilliant at defending themselves and finding the weak spot in their opponent’s arguments or situation—they are enemies to be truly feared. They also know how to wait until the moment is right to strike; when they do, their timing is typically perfect.

What these people often fail to appreciate is that not every situation in their lives is a battle. They can be suspicious or covert when they don’t need to be and this can alienate others or create negativity when there is no cause for it. Sometimes, too, their love of challenge and change can make them create conflict just for the sake of it to enjoy the “excitement” it generates.

Until the age of thirty-six their risk-taking tendencies will be at their most intense and there will be many opportunities for them to take chances, some of which will pay off, some of which won’t. After the age of thirty-seven, however, there is a significant turning point when they may start to become more disciplined and realistic. This is a positive development but, whatever age they are, injecting a healthy dose of optimism and self-belief into their lives to balance out their undercover tendencies will give them the courage to keep their spirit of adventure alive. It might also give them sufficient confidence and trust to put down their sword so that their heart of gold, and clear potential for happiness, success and fulfillment, can come out into the open.

Love: Fascinating attraction

When it comes to affairs of the heart, people born on November 15 can be highly skeptical and noncommittal, preferring to keep their feelings to themselves, but they can also be extremely affectionate and seductive. Although this can send out very mixed signals to potential partners, it can also add to their fascination and attraction. The right partner, however, will be able to teach them that love is about letting go and being free to trust.

Health: Your own worst enemy

People born on this day may expend a lot of energy on resisting the “attacks” of others, but their greatest enemy is themselves. They create an incredible amount of stress and tension for themselves and, if they could learn to be more trusting and open, they would find that their emotional well-being changed for the better. As far as their physical health is concerned, they tend to be fighting fit but can be accident prone. When it comes to diet, they should cut down on saturated fats, animal products, sugar, additives, and preservatives, increasing their intake of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Vigorous exercise is highly recommended, in particular martial arts—as long as they exercise caution—as they will safely release pent-up energy. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color orange will encourage them to be more spontaneous, trusting and open.

Career: Born secret agents

These people will tend to gravitate toward roles where they can be constantly challenged, and to careers that involve plenty of travel and change. The secret service and military careers may appeal, as might the work of a bodyguard. Business, politics and law are other options, and they may also have a gift for writing, acting and music.

Destiny: To prepare others for the unexpected

The life path of people born on this day is to learn to trust and let go more. Once they have become less suspicious of everyone and everything, their destiny is to keep the spirit of adventure alive and help others prepare for the unexpected.

November 16

The Authority

Your greatest challenge is: resisting the urge to control everything

The way forward is: to understand that true leaders or directors empower others to make their own decisions.

On the dark side: self-involved, controlling, judgemental

At your best: authoritative, influential, understanding

Power thought: “Today sincere warmth glows in my heart, bringing me closer to others”

Luck maker: Let go of anger

Forgiveness is tough but it is also a powerful luck magnet. This is because when you are weighed down with anger or guilt you can’t move forward, and the energy you need to create luck is blocked.

People born on November 16 have a naturally authoritative manner and, because they are also intelligent, perceptive and display a remarkable strength of purpose, their command is rarely questioned. In addition, they usually have the best interests of everyone at heart. As a result, people learn to listen to what they have to say and more often than not follow their advice or instructions.

Fiercely individualistic and independent, these people may have challenged the status quo as children or teenagers. As they grow older, however, they often reach the conclusion that they can be more effective agents for change if they work within the system to try and change it for the better, rather than being a lone voice on the outside. They are particularly well suited to leadership roles where they can exert a powerful or informative influence over others.

Those around them generally respect their conviction and genuine desire to promote the common good, as well as the tact they display when enlisting support for their aims. There will be times, however, when their urge to enlighten and inspire others is so strong that their behavior becomes controlling, manipulative or intolerant, and they stubbornly refuse to acknowledge any other way forward but their way.

Until the age of thirty-five they are likely to want to expand their horizons though study or travel. After the age of thirty-six they reach a turning point where they start to take a more practical, ordered and realistic approach to life. Whatever age they are, it is important for them to make sure that they use their natural authority wisely and don’t abuse the position of trust they tend to earn for themselves. If they can remember always to keep the interests of others in their mind and to respect others’ right to hold different opinions to their own, not only will they become a voice of unquestionable authority, they also have the creativity and imagination to become a voice of insight, inspiration and wisdom.

Love: Learn to take as well as give

Despite being incredibly generous and supportive themselves, people born on this day can have big problems accepting the help, support or even love of others. It is crucial for their emotional well-being that they learn to trust more and open their heart, because the loyalty and support of a loving partner are of vital importance to them. Sometimes a sense of true happiness and fulfillment will be delayed until that partner takes center stage.

Health: By the seaside

People born on this day often feel attuned to the sea or ocean, and spending time by the coast can help relax and calm them. Swimming is a fantastic way for them to exercise. If they have a sedentary life style they are strongly advised to get up and move more, because exercise has wonderful moodboosting powers, not to mention the fact that it will also speed up their metabolism and help them lose weight if they have weight to lose. As far as diet and life style are concerned, overeating could be a problem, as could heavy alcohol consumption. As these could both lead to weight and liver problems, they are strongly advised to eat a healthy balanced diet and to cut down on alcohol. Relaxing herbal teas and foot massages are music to their souls, carrying the crystal citrine in their purse or wallet can help them deal with anger and frustration in any situation, and the crystal turquoise will encourage them to reach out to others.

Career: Born managers

These people will often be drawn to politics and teaching, as well as more artistic activities where they can inspire a broader audience. Possible work options include self-employment, research, education, law, philosophy, psychology, sales, water sports, diving, writing, and acting. In the world of business they are likely to assume management or directorship roles.

Destiny: To further the boundaries of human endeavor

The life path of people born on this day is to learn to use their authority wisely. Once they have the best interests of both themselves and others at heart, their destiny is to further the boundaries of human knowledge and endeavor.

You let your feet run wild

Time has come as we all, oh, go down

Yeah but for the fall, ooh, my

Do you dare to look him right in the eyes? Yeah

Oh, 'cause they will run you down, down 'til the dark

Yes and they will run you down, down 'til you fall

And they will run you down, down 'til you go

Yeah, so you can't crawl no more

And way down we go

Way down we go

Say way down we go

Oh, 'cause they will run you down, down 'til you fall

Way down we go

November 17

The Facilitator

Your greatest challenge is: setting yourself clear goals

The way forward is: to remember that going with the flow or following the herd can sometimes lead you over the cliff.

On the dark side: unfocused, self-sacrificing, aloof

At your best: helpful, inspiring, charming

Power thought: “Today I will express my creativity in ways that fulfill me”

Luck maker: Find your purpose

Don’t just think about what you want, think about why you want it. You need to know why you want something before you can start to make it happen. People born on November 17 are extremely intuitive and sensitive, with a powerful orientation toward others. Many times in their lives they will find themselves in the important role of integrator or facilitator.

One of the reasons these people are so good at encouraging others to work better together or ensuring that everyone gets on and things run smoothly is that they have a real understanding of the importance of compromise. Perhaps in their own lives they have had to learn the hard way that in the real world everyone can’t get exactly what they want and that there is always a certain amount of trade-off. For example, they may have given up their dreams of performing to teach instead, or have scaled down their career to devote more time to their family. Whatever the nature of the compromise, they have convinced themselves that greater satisfaction can be found by placing the interests of others above their own.

This rightfully earns them great respect from others, but the downside is that they can become overly dependent on the satisfaction they get from helping others. They may also have a tendency to over-identify with the concerns of others, neglecting their own interests and psychological growth in the process. Until the age of thirty-four these people are more likely to take chances but after the age of thirty-five they reach a turning point when they start to become more progressive, determined and serious in their approach to life. After the age of sixty-five they begin to place more emphasis on friendship and independence.

Whatever age they are, it is crucial that they don’t shut down emotionally and over-identify with the role of facilitator. As valuable and important as that role is, nothing is more valuable and important for their psychological growth—and for their ability to unlock the outstanding potential for success and happiness associated with this birthday—than their acknowledgment of and willingness to express their own dynamic creativity, independence and sense of purpose.

Love: Don’t be a pushover

People born on November 17 are charming, romantic, intelligent, and compassionate, and it is no surprise that they will often be surrounded by admirers. They are strongly advised to take their time and exercise their good judgment rather than being a pushover or giving more than they take in a relationship. The right partner for them will be someone who has a big heart but who is detached enough to give them the freedom they need to be themselves.

Health: Me time

People born on this day tend to be so involved in the lives of others and so needed by them that they don’t have a lot of time for themselves. Their spirits will suffer, however, if they don’t give themselves plenty of time to pursue their own interests and indulge their latent creativity. If they don’t allow themselves this space and freedom they will be prone to unexplained bouts of depression and insomnia. As far as their physical health is concerned, they need to pay attention to their posture as back pain could be an issue. They also need to make sure they don’t ignore warning signs of poor health and schedule regular check-ups with their doctor. When it comes to food, digestive disorders may occur, and increasing their intake of fiber and drinking plenty of water as well as a glass of lemon juice first thing every morning are advised, as is regular mild exercise. Carrying a tiger’s eye crystal will promote confidence and courage.

Career: Born interviewers

These people tend to do well in careers that involve plenty of teamwork and cooperation, but they can also do well in media, sales, business, journalism, or lecturing. The dramatic side of their multi-talented character may find fulfillment in politics, design, fashion, retail, theatre, or show business.

Destiny: To follow their hearts and to inspire others to do the same

The life path of people born on this day is to learn that it is okay to be themselves and to express their creativity and originality. Once they have found a healthy balance between their own needs and those of others, their destiny is to progress in a positive direction and empower others to do the same.

"The secret of success in every field is redefining what success means to you. It can't be your parent's definition, the media's definition, or your neighbor's definition. Otherwise, success will never satisfy you."

~ RuPaul, November 17, 1960

"It's fun to be on the edge. I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you're not safe, when you're not in the middle of the road."

~ Danny DeVito, November 17, 1944

"Sometimes the wheel turns slowly, but it turns."

~ Lorne Michaels, November 17, 1944

"We must celebrate difference until difference doesn't make a difference in the way we treat each other."

~ Yolanda King, November 17, 1955

"Honestly, it's important to not take this whole process of life on this planet too seriously. And you need games to remind you that every aspect of your experience on this planet is a game. And you have to be a good sport. You have to strategize, and you have to have fun."

~ RuPaul, November 17, 1960

"It's the messiness of life that ultimately leads you to the most interesting things. Everyone asks what you would do over, and I don't know because then you have this story to tell, and if you did everything over and made it perfect, what would you talk about?"

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)

Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually, anyway)

You cry you learn, you lose you learn

You bleed you learn, you scream you learn

You grieve you learn, you choke you learn

You laugh you learn, you choose you learn

November 18

Sensitive Exuberance

Your greatest challenge is:
being decisive

The way forward is: to ask yourself when choosing between options what you really want to happen, not what others expect. Once you are attuned to your feelings, decision making gets a whole lot easier.

On the dark side: needy, moody, confused

At your best:Innovative, entertaining, vivacious

Power Thought: “I believe in myself. Anything is possible”

Luck maker: Believe in yourself

How lucky you are in life is directly related to how much you believe you are worthy of luck. The more you think that success and happiness are your birthright, the luckier you will behave and be. Like a ray of warm sunshine, the exuberant, energetic individuals born on November 18 have the ability to enliven any situation with their good cheer, optimism and humor. They are refreshingly upbeat in their approach to everyone and everything, and not surprisingly their company is much sought after.

Not only do they enjoy being the center of attention, they are also fiercely ambitious, making them natural candidates for leadership. Those who do not know them well, however, would be surprised to discover that under-neath the happy face they present to the world there can be a lot of uncertainty and conflict. This is because they are unusually sensitive to the feelings of others, sometimes to the extent that they don’t know where their feelings end and another person’s begin. As a result, despite their clear potential and suitability to be winners or innovators in life, they often end up feeling confused, purposeless and directionless.

If they can find a way to balance their sensitivity toward others with their ambitious urge to realize their own life goals, their success is assured. If, however, the balance tilts in either direction they can lose a sense of direction; the indecisiveness that results can stunt their psychological growth, blocking their chances of professional and personal success.

Until the age of thirty-three there is an emphasis in their lives on issues relating to freedom, adventure and expansion. They may want to study, travel or experiment with their choice of career in these years. After the age of thirty-four there is an important turning point when they are likely to become more responsible, precise and practical in their approach to life, seeking structure and order. Whatever age they are, however, they need to use their sharp and probing mind to investigate their own power and potential. This is because with greater self-awareness and greater belief in their star potential—and a lot of dedication and hard work—these vivacious individuals can achieve almost anything they set their mind to.

Love: Exceptionally responsive

People born on November 18 can be fun, sexy, entertaining, responsive, and romantic as long as their partner gives them plenty of attention and affection. But if the reassurance they need isn’t given, they can lapse into attention-seeking behavior and temperamental mood swings. It is important for them to make sure they are with a partner who is as giving and energetic as they are.

Health: Boosting self-esteem

People born on this day tend to have a rather negative image of themselves, and this can make them prone to stress and depression. Boosting their self esteem is therefore absolutely crucial to both their physical and emotional health. The place to start is in their heads, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques may be able to help them reprogram their thoughts from negative to positive. Spending more time with people who are upbeat and optimistic, and avoiding those who are glum and self-involved, will also help, as will a diet rich in fresh, natural produce and low in refined or processed foods. Regular moderate to vigorous exercise is also highly recommended for its mood-boosting and health-boosting effects, as well as for building up discipline and will-power. Carrying a tiger’s eye crystal or placing it next to their bed at night will have a balancing and calming effect, promoting greater confidence and courage.

Career: Born innovators

People born on this day may be drawn to careers in science, research or technology where they can be potential innovators, as well as the world of art, music and literature, where they can excel as writers. Once they believe more in themselves, other career options might include business, teaching, lecturing, politics, and the world of entertainment.

Destiny: To point others in the direction of progress

The life path of people born on this day is to learn to believe in themselves and their creativity more. Once they are able to discover their sense of purpose, their destiny is to achieve or point the way to tangible progress on behalf of themselves and others.
