Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Nov. 16, 2018:

This year you often believe what you hear, and agreements occur with ease. Do not be surprised if uproar surrounds even the best-laid plans. If you maintain a sense of humour, your communication will improve. If you are single, be sure that you and potential suitors are on the same page. Take your time before committing. If you are attached, you and your partner have an opportunity to understand each other’s roots better. Respect each other’s differences. Pisces knows you very well.

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 sense a change heading your way. Ultimately, you will be pleased with the outcome. However, at times, you could feel frustrated or irritated. A loved one opens up, but might have difficulty grasping certain concepts. Say little for now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ A friend and a long-term goal are the focus of your day. A midday meeting could transform into a TGIF get-together! If you cannot go along with the spontaneity, speak up and make your expectations clear. Avoid unnecessary irritation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ Touch base with a respected associate. Your respect for this person doesn’t mean that you must accept every idea that he or she shares. Nevertheless, display an interest in what is being said. Be aware of the costs of handling a matter as you have been.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Your sensitivity makes a big difference in how you handle a caring message from a loved one. You might opt to buy a small gift for this person as a result. Confusion surrounds meetings and communication in general. Recheck plans, times and places.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ You are ready to declare your feelings about a particular matter; however, your words could fail you, or a friend might become disruptive. Do not worry — you will have another chance. Give yourself a month before replaying the scenario.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★ No matter what you choose to do or whom you choose to do it with, you could be out of sorts. Your sense of humour hopefully filters through, and as a result, you won’t have to take the situation too seriously. An issue around your domestic life emerges.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★ If you pace yourself, you will accomplish a lot quickly. Toward the end of the day, fatigue marks your communication. However, a meeting with friends or associates proves to be so invigorating that you are likely to get past the need for a nap!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★ Double-check all financial matters, even insurance policies and legal agreements. Know that when you’re done, you hopefully will be able to take a deep breath and relax. A boss lets you know how much he or she admires your style.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★ Today, you might not be able to hide an innate aloofness. Mercury, the planet of communication, does a backward jig in your sign. During the next few weeks, be as precise as possible when making plans and scheduling meetings.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ Your sixth sense kicks in. You seem to know when something is about to happen. You might want to gain some perspective by sharing your concerns with a trusted friend. A partner lets you know how he or she feels.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★ When dealing with friends and difficult situations, understand that you have a tendency to go overboard. If you can, stay centred and observe what develops when you lie low and stay out of others’ hassles. You might like this scenario better.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ When you’re out, you could sense some tension around you; however, don’t let those feelings get the best of you. Know that someone close to you might want to mix friendship or business with romance. Decide what feels right to you.
