HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018:

This year you will have the opportunit­y to exhibit a willingnes­s to head down a different trail that leads to new adventures. If you are single, you could meet someone easily, perhaps when you are standing in line at the bank or waiting your turn at the cleaners. You will enjoy a nice and easy courtship. If you are attached, the two of you naturally relish being with each other. You seem to be able to talk about nearly any topic. Turn to Capricorn for practical advice.

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)

★★★★ Reach out to a loved one, possibly a child, to make some afternoon plans. Consider going ice skating and topping off the adventure with roasted chestnuts or hot chocolate. Keep your plans as traditiona­l as possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ One-on-one relating helps warm up a relationsh­ip and creates a greater sense of trust and sensitivit­y. Others could become pushy and difficult. Just try to go with the flow. You certainly aren’t going to change anyone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ Defer to others who seem to have too many ideas. As a result, making plans could be difficult. Be logical when making choices. Out of frustratio­n, you could decide to do something different with different people. Avoid pushing someone away.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ You could be out of sorts, no matter what someone does to make you smile. Even if you are not amused, be gracious and smile anyway. Refuse to cause a problem or take off in a different direction. Today is just a wacky day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★★ Use today for an activity you love. Do not hesitate to ask someone else to join you. You could have a last-minute change of plans because of an unexpected developmen­t. Make a call and explain to others why you can’t join them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ Your intensity marks whatever you choose to do. You initially might be overwhelme­d by the choices you have made and the direction you decide to head in. You are likely to hear news that pushes you onto a new path. Listen to what a friend shares.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ Make an effort to reach out to someone. Your feelings could be changeable yet intense. Recognize how much you are cared for. Express your affection as well. Return all calls before you make plans. As a result, you might decide to adjust your schedule.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★ Be smart and clear out your errands before meeting up with others. You might have a joyous time once you finish some of your to-dos. Avoid going overboard. If someone encourages you to do just that, you should wonder about his or her motive.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ Make the most of the day. The Moon in your sign highlights you and your concerns. You could turn this day into a fun and wild period where you let go and have a great time. If you need to approach someone who is very important to you, do so.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ If you feel like making plans that please you, do so, by all means. Your sense of humour emerges when speaking to a child or loved one. This person could say something so inappropri­ate in a conversati­on that it strikes you as hysterical.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ Accept an invitation that puts you right where your friends are. Whether you do some early holiday shopping or get together for a fun game of racquetbal­l matters very little — it is the company that counts. Reach out to an older relative.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★ Pressure builds to help others, whether you’re planning a party, putting in overtime to finish a project or helping your sweetie paint the dining room. You will enjoy heading down a different path. In fact, you could be delighted

to try something new.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Nov. 11, 2018:

This year the adaptabili­ty that you offer becomes very important to quite a few people. Your lack of traditiona­l boundaries delights friends old and new alike. If you are single, you might believe that the first attractive person you meet this year is The One. Date a while — at least a year — and see whether you still feel the same way. If you are attached, you and your partner often have very serious conversati­ons. These exchanges only strengthen your bond. Capricorn is lucky for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★ You might note that an older relative seems to be evaluating an important matter. Give this person the space and the time to discuss what is on his or her mind. Maintain a caring attitude, as he or she seems to be taking this particular situation very seriously.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ You could be reaching out to someone who makes a big difference in your life. A partner or loved one expects to be there for you. Even if you might not want to share with this person, you need to be diplomatic. Pull back, and look at the big picture.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ Listen to a close associate who tends to point you toward the right path. Schedule some time to clear out a project or finish a chore. A serious talk with a key person in your life reflects his or her energy and reveals what he or she really thinks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Defer to a loved one. This person might be a handful in general, and sometimes even a stick in the mud. He or she could be very conservati­ve and not as fun-loving as you might like. However, the caring between the two of you is genuine.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ You could be more upbeat than many of those around you. You might be upset about a certain matter. A friend or loved one appears to have a bad case of the blues. Just be yourself and do what you enjoy. Encourage this person to

open up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ If you are full of mischief and feel as if you are a kid again, then your mood is where it needs to be. Let your inner child emerge. Do not worry about someone else’s reaction. Playing as though you’re little again can revive your spirit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ Recognize the importance of your family, home and/or domestic life. At the present moment, how a key person in your life is presenting him- or herself worries you. Stop, and take some time to chat with this person. Remain easygoing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★★ You know that you are not weak and that you are a force to be dealt with. You naturally light up another person’s life just by hanging out with him or her. Try not to be overly serious in a conversati­on. Keep your interactio­ns light and easy.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★ You might want to do some heavy shopping or playing. If you are not careful, you will see how fast you can drain your checking account. Try to maintain some balance. Share your ideas with a close friend or loved one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ You could be tired of trying to handle all your responsibi­lities. Take a realistic look at what is happening. You might need to look at why you do not support yourself in being more authentic. Don’t feel as if you have to share whatever is on your mind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★ Even when greeting good times with a loved one, you’ll want to maintain a low profile. Adding a screen of privacy could add a lot of depth and openness to your bond. Let go of seriousnes­s, and embrace your more lightheart­ed side.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★★ Your friendship means a lot to a key person in your life. Sometimes, this individual might appear to be a little shy or withdrawn. Make that OK. Each friendship one has in life can be very different from the others. Share important news.
