HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): You don’t always feel like talking to the others around you. Today’s introverted mood is unusual for you, but go with it. You’ll come off as mysterious and powerful.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): They say one thing and mean another. It doesn’t make them dishonest; it makes them human. Cut them a break, and then try to listen beyond the words.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): When you light your candle on the knowledge of others, their flame doesn’t diminish in the least. Later, others will be illuminated by the fire of your knowledge.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): When you don’t know what move to make, don’t make a move at all. Calm deliberation is one of your most powerful states.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): It is said that artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. The computers and other smart systems designed to make life easier may actually make it harder today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You don’t know the whole story yet, and maybe you never will. Still, you’ll learn a lot more than you knew before.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Everyone who has arrived at success knows that you have to pass failure to get there. Have you failed enough yet to claim your prize? Keep going — that’s the only way to find out.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’ll be elevated by your belief in what cannot be proven, only felt. Faith and mysticism will carry you with wings through territory where knowledge cannot tread.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Relationship drama is easy enough to avoid. Simply be agreeable in most matters that come up today. There won’t be very much worth fighting over.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are people who wish and people who do. You’ve been both of those people, but right now you’re not in the mood for dreaming. You’ll make a plan, and you’ll act.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll magnify the small things. The day’s exercise in perspective will be overwhelmingly positive as long as you’re focusing on happy or neutral events.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Kindness is often expressed with a gentle approach, but not always. Today the kindest way may be direct and assertive.

Today’s birthday (Nov. 8): You’ll use talents and gifts that, until this year, you didn’t even realize you had. December is an uphill climb but the coast afterward will be a thrill ride that lets you relax and enjoy. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 39, 22, 31 and 17.
