AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18 The more you like yourself, the easier it is to like others. Once you find that you have something in common with a stranger, that person will no longer be a stranger. You can make everyone feel like part of the family.

PISCES Feb 19-Mar 20 The people you run into today may be focused on getting ahead in the business world or working together on a common cause. Put your thoughts of a romantic tryst on the back burner and participate in group activities.

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 19 You can use tried and true methods to build prestige. You don’t need to toot your own horn. Let your degrees, achievements and notable work ethic speak for themselves. Quietly ride the wave of your collected knowledge.

LIBRA Sept 23-Oct 22 Spend a little, gain a lot. Your exotic tastes may be satisfied if you spend a few of your dollars to obtain something unique, perhaps an antique or a handcrafted sweater. You will be at your best in group settings.

If today is your birthday:

You might find safety in numbers, so you feel more secure and comfortable in group settings as the next three to four weeks roll by. You may develop an interest in buying a gym membership, taking dance classes or enrolling in community educational and cultural events where you can rub shoulders with other people. You may have more energy than usual during November, making this a good time to tackle physical chores such as landscaping projects and interior painting. January and February could prove challenging, as it seems everything that could go wrong does, but this too shall pass. Wait for better stars to initiate anything new. Late March, when your acuity with business affairs is at a peak, could be the best time to address investments or to make a decision about a major purchase.
