HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): You remember difficult times, who helped you out of them and who put you in them. It gets complicated when both categories point to the same person.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Let someone be nice to you without feeling guilty or moving to immediately repay the favor.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ve changed. It was that book you read, that friend you hung out with, that food you started eating regularly.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): The information you receive will have many levels. It may be only mildly interesting or useful until you get a little deeper. Seek clarity.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The project is getting costly and taking a lot longer than you thought it would. A hefty return on investment will come once you finish.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re better at compartmentalizing than most. Get into some of those “compartments” and remember what you stowed there.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Don’t get overly concerned about how you’re coming off around people who already know you. It’s how you make them feel about themselves that matters.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): All that you’ve done has been for particular reasons. Commit to learning more and trust yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): To be truly effective in carrying the mantle of leadership, you have to model the program you represent. Walk it, talk it, live it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Those who badly fear mistakes will take only the safest actions. A tolerance for mistakes will bring the best outcome.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What would you do to get happier and more influential over your world? Put it atop of your list.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You would think that if each person took 50% responsibility for an outcome, the task would be covered. But each person has to take 100% of the responsibility.

Today’s birthday (Nov. 14): Relationships improve across the board. It’s not that they were ailing, but they become more helpful, communicative, comfortable and fun. This touches every part of your life. Other highlights in the months to come include home improvements, an once-in-alifetime encounter and a free pass when you need it. Libra and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 30, 12, 47 and 9.
