HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Nov. 2, 2017:

This year you will want to be more aware of the different elements of your day-today life. You might not even be aware of one person’s continuous power play. You will make some important changes. If you are single, you have a strong likelihood of meeting someone special in the next few months. Get to know this person well before committing. If you are attached, you might find that your sweetie is a little reticent to discuss certain issues. Give him or her some space, and you’ll find that he or she will become more open. ARIES might not be as predictable as you would like.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ You feel great, but someone with clout could rain on your parade. Emotional highs and lows mark the day. Someone makes a harsh statement, yet with others you experience caring and support. You might not have the ability to detach at present. Tonight: Impulsiveness works.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★ Try to relax. You will be entering a very active period in the next few days. A close friend or partner might not be available, at least emotionally, for an indepth conversation. You will gain enormous insight just by observing this person. Tonight: Get as much sleep as possible. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ Zero in on what the majority wants in a meeting. You might not agree, but under the circumstances, there is little you can do but express your point of view. Your ability to get past a hassle often serves you well. Today is no different. Tonight: Take some personal time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ You might be dealing with a changeable, controlling partner who wants to get his or her way at any cost. The only limits depend on your energy. Your best bet is not to get involved in a power play. The unexpected colors the day. Try to go with the flow. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★★ You could be tired of always having to detach when dealing with certain people. Relax more, and accept this group as it is. The unexpected occurs, especially when partaking in an intellectual activity. Know that you don’t always need to cater to others. Tonight: Say “yes.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ Others want to share, and you’ll decide to deal with individuals one at a time. You will gain a lot of significant information as a result. You often are taken aback by others’ words and/or actions. You could be stunned by what goes on. Tonight: Continue the one-onone theme.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ Though you seem to have developed an ornery side, you’ll choose not to take on a difficult adversary or associate. The aggravation is not worth it. In fact, honey works better than vinegar. Be kind, and this person will become easier to deal with. Tonight: Respond to a big request.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ You become more dominant than you have been as of late, though you might decide to express your thoughts in a more positive way. You also could be tighter with your finances. Do not be surprised by a turn of events later in the day. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ Reining in your spending right now might please you more than you realize. Your self-discipline emerges, and you will benefit from it in the long run. When buying a gift or making a purchase, play it low-key. A loved one could give you a jolt or two. Tonight: Be naughty.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ Remain close to a roommate or family member. This person might want to discuss an important experience that you will want to hear about. You could feel left out if you don’t stay abreast of a happening event. Surprises surround news as well. Tonight: Head home early.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ A dream might inhibit you from saying what’s on your mind. Perhaps you don’t even realize how much this dream has affected you. Understand that you are the only one who can hold you back. Try to change what you are doing. Tonight: Hang out with your friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ You might be concerned about achieving a certain long-term goal. You will be delighted by the result, as long as you stay on top of the project. A friend or loved one needs your attention as well. Do not overcommit financially. Tonight: Fun does not have to cost anything.
