Horoscope

Happy birthday: for Sunday, Nov. 25. This year you will become more involved with others and their needs. You might play a fundamental role in several people’s lives. You understand what works on a domestic and emotional level. If you are single, you could meet someone this year who gives you a case of the butterflies. You might want to explore the possibilities. If you are attached, the two of you flow well together as a couple. One-on-one relating becomes a precious and important time for you both. CANCER understands your feelings almost better than you do.

Aries (March 21-April 19): ★★★★ You might find the lack of high-powered excitement today disappointing, but ultimately you do need some quiet time. Nevertheless, you hear others’ frustration and are in touch with your own feelings as a result. You could be put off by someone you admire. Tonight: Order in.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): ★★★★ You will share your thoughts with greater clarity than usual. You could be a little taken aback by a friend or loved who throws a wrench in your plans at the last minute. Closing off this person ultimately won’t do you any good. Just go with the flow. Tonight: Indulge a loved one.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): ★★★★ Be cautious with your spending. You might have a devil-may-care attitude right now, but it could change once you see the results of your frivolous behavior.

An older relative or friend could be hard on you. Do what you must. Tonight: Fun doesn’t need to cost anything.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): ★★★★ You might be more sympathetic toward a co-worker or friend than you have been in a while. Try your best to understand where this person is coming from. Your awareness of his or her feelings will help more than you might realize. Listen carefully. Tonight: Do your thing.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): ★★★ After all of the recent uproar and confusion, you won’t mind going off on your own for some peace and quiet. If you mention your plans, you will rekindle several people’s need to be with you. Try being a bit more discreet for now. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): ★★★★ Your sensitivity doesn’t often come out for others to witness. Today, a key person in your life sees your support of his or her ideas. You don’t need to make a big deal out of what you see. Accept an invitation to be with people you respect and admire. Tonight: Party the night away.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): ★★★ Others demand your attention. If you do not want to spend time with these people, you can come up with a good excuse. This tactic usually works, but authenticity might be more desirable today. A family member distances him- or herself. Let it go. Tonight: Hang out close to home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): ★★★★★ You will appreciate going inward and choosing a pastime that expands your knowledge. You know what interests you, so follow through on that curiosity. Hearing a lecture, reading a book or finding an expert on the topic at hand could be rewarding. Tonight: Go with the flow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): ★★★★ Make time for a special person in your life. Whether you’re driving together through the country or going to a lecture, your tension lessens. Cater to this individual. You would be wise to keep today and your time with this person on a one-on-one level. Tonight: Do not pull away.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): ★★★ You might be tired or fed up with the recent pace. To many people, you will seem unavailable. You could decide to cocoon at home. You might be in the midst of recharging your batteries, but perhaps you don’t know how to explain this. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): ★★★ Listen to what has been shared. Your feelings might be more involved than you’d like. You could feel pushed beyond your limit. Later, think through the comments you heard. You might want to get feedback from a close friend or loved one. Tonight: Get into a fun project.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): ★★★★★ Tap into your imagination to make plans that you and someone else might enjoy. Loosen up, and don’t be so uptight about what is happening around you. A friend could disappoint you. Take a step back from the situation, and try to worry less. Tonight: Release your inner child! Born today: Baseball player Joe DiMaggio (1914), lawyer John F.
