Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Nov. 17, 2018:

This year you will be more sensitive than you have been in the past to the different people in your life. Sometimes a friend or loved one will test you to see whether the new, more-caring you is for real! If you are single, you might meet several different people who could become more than just friends. Before making a commitment, really get to know any person with whom you are involved. If you are attached, you often find that your relationship becomes more romantic between periods of confusion. Be patient; everything will work out. Pisces knows how to make you daydream. 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)

★★★ Mixed messages tend to be the rule rather than the exception. Take your time making any decision — especially if it’s related to facts that someone gave you yesterday. Some of the information could be off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ Emphasize what you want; however, be gracious when dealing with a friend who might have a different set of ideas. You both could decide to go off and do what each of you desires. If you can escape to where there is music, do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★ Because you may be responsible for a get-together or need to take the lead with some other matter, you could experience some anxiety. Do not sabotage yourself by overthinking. Confirm that you are on the same page as a key person in your life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Your mind drifts to other lands and people, perhaps adding an element of nostalgia to your day. Some of you might choose to act on this trancelike mood. Make sure that you do not enter a conflict with a loved one who might be set in his or her ways.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ One-on-one relating suits you fine — especially if you throw in some humour and romantic moments. However, before you go off and pursue your fantasies, make sure that you have handled obligations first. Be a bit more imaginative.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ If you want the day to be memorable, defer to someone else. A friend might have different ideas for how to proceed. Try not to juggle too many people and plans in one day. Ultimately, you will be better off.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★ Pace yourself, and you will get a lot more done. Once you clear out your obligations, you might be in the mood to meet up with a close loved one. You and this person could decide to kick back and enjoy going to a concert or a play.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ Your playfulness takes you down a unique path; however, not everyone understands your levity or your more-lighthearted side. Try to tune in to a close friend’s humour. Confusion or a misunderstanding sets the tone of your day. Remain upbeat.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★ You could be somewhat unfocussed and/or unsure of yourself. Your choices might not be up to snuff or reflective of who you really are. Maintain a light and easygoing attitude. Confusion could occur around money. Use caution with your funds.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ You experience an obligation that you might not be comfortable with. You could try to back out or change the terms; however, those efforts will backfire. Be open to someone else’s needs. You could have a far better time than you think you will.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★ Observe a tendency to go overboard, at least in your mind. No matter what your choices are, they will veer you toward excessiveness. You can make a deliberate decision not to participate. Follow your heart, and you can’t go wrong.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ You appear to have the magic touch. You say the right words at the right time — at least today. If you said those words on a different day, you might experience a backfire. A friend who is older easily could become difficult and cantankerous. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Nov. 18, 2018:

This year you push hard to achieve a long-term goal. You might find that your routine changes, but your daily life seems more exciting. If you are single, you meet people with ease. When choosing a sweetie, consider what you want from a relationship before you get too involved. If you are attached, the two of you are more romantic with each other. Choose to appreciate what the other person has to offer. Aries might push you to be more direct, but ultimately it is your choice.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ What seems like a great idea in the morning could be a failure by the afternoon. Hold out until a close friend or loved one approaches you and gives you feedback. This person could open up a door that has remained closed up till now. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ You could be too tired to keep pushing as you have been for the past few weeks. Put up your feet and relax. Do not worry about all the things you need to do. Take some much-needed downtime. You have pushed hard to achieve certain results.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★★ Your friends are not likely to leave you alone. Calls and other forms of communication could keep you busy. If you planned for a quiet day, let that thought go. Say “yes” to a get-together with friends. Include your partner in your plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ You might get up early to see the sun rise or head off to church. Before you make it home, you likely will be invited to brunch. Wherever you are, relax and go with the flow. A partner could be in a bad mood, especially if he or she missed breakfast!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ A loved one demands your time early in the day. You know your limits and recognize when you have had enough. By the afternoon, you could get together with a friend. Go off to the movies and relax. Don’t push so hard. Let go of recent stress.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ You might want to try a different approach or handle a situation differently. When a partner decides to be more proactive, you are likely to relax and go with the flow. You can go along with this person’s choices.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ In the morning, you might want to reach out to a family member whom you have not heard from in a while. You’ll feel more upbeat as a result. You might want to make plans that involve just you and a key loved one. You need some time with this person.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★ Your creativity entices a loved one. You might want to spend some more time with this person. Pursue a mutual hobby or favourite pastime. This experience is likely to draw you closer together. Do not push too hard, as tomorrow is a workday.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ You could be hesitant to say what’s on your mind. You might want to spend some time away from the hereand-now. You would like to invite a certain person to join you for an adventure. Explore the possibility, but do so subtly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★★ You could be out of sorts, as you have many ideas that will be nixed. Listen to a loved one about what he or she thinks. The two of you could have a fun time together, but you might be overly concerned about a roommate or family member.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ You need to clear your mind of an obligation or two before you accept an offer that could take you right out the door. You don’t have to go far to get past a problem or situation that serves as a distraction in your life. Seek out a loved one for some feedback.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★ Your best hours occur in the morning. You could feel exhausted, but might have some errands you want to get done. Do not allow anyone to slow you down. Go where you want. Curb excessive spending if possible.
