HOROSCOPE

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Positive words, encouraging feedback and general appreciation will boost spirits and make people want to be at their best around you.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Interesting things will get dug up today. A heavy emotion with roots in childhood will be in there too.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’re not too concerned about the long term right now because there’s an urgency to unburden your heart that takes precedence.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): When a person doesn’t treat you well, that person’s value diminishes in your eyes.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What problem can you solve today with that highly analytical brain of yours?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Don’t be so focused on helping and highlighting others that you forget to serve your own needs and nurture your own talents.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The best people can do today is offer their ego up to your mercy and hope you will be gentle.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You know the appropriate thing to say, but you don’t always choose it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Think in terms of fun moments. You’ll stop worrying about how you’re being perceived or what the other person can do for you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re curious about your environment and about people and what stories they may be keeping behind the facade of normalcy.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Some may need a scenario of poorer fortunes to feel grateful, but not you.

Today’s birthday (Nov. 26): Excitement mounts over the next five weeks as you sense you’re getting close to something you’ve pursued for ages. The first part of 2018 shows you holding up the trophy and then nearly immediately setting your sights on the next goal. Your lucky numbers: 9, 40, 32, 27 and 18.
