For Wednesday Nov. 27, 2002. Those with birthdays today: You’ll have unusually positive energy this year if you direct it toward your work and potential educational or growth experiences. Learning to easily understand others might be as important to your success as education. If you are single, you are likely to meet someone quite unique and different. You make waves in his or her life, much as he or she does in your life. If you are attached, relating to your in-laws enhances your relationship. You’ll find that, as a couple, you’re more together than you have been for years. Virgo pushes your buttons.
