HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’re on the path. The help you need will come from one who’s just a little further along.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’re in the early stages of what will become a very significant piece of work. Take the time to learn to do it right.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): One person can make a difference cannot fill every role. Avoid trying to be someone’s “everything.”

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today it will be easy to break a bad habit. Much hinges on one key realization.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): If you’re in the mood to just hang out, do it with people. It will be relaxing, but you’ll still be accomplishing something.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re an excellent judge of character. Now it’s just a matter of finding the people you want to be around.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your easy open manner makes people feel safe enough to show you who they really are, which gives a relationship a solid start.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’ll feel more successful when you narrow the day’s ambitions down to one important task.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You know the truth when you feel it. It comes with a certain intensity.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Generic advice — like “relax!” “walk it off!” or “smile!” — can seem demeaning, which is why you refrain from giving it. That said, the fix for today may be a little generic.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): While some fear that people will laugh at their work, comedians fear the opposite. Whatever your streng th or your fear, there is always someone who embodies

the flip of it. Reach out to that person today.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): More than 50 years ago, the celebrated wit James Thurber commented, “Nowadays men lead lives of noisy desperation.” It’s even more true today. Someone making a big fuss needs help that you can give.

Today’s birthday (Nov. 17): Your love will be the constant in many people’s lives, and it doubles back to delight you in poetic and exciting ways. Other highlights of the next 12 months include travel to a balmy place, a distant correspondence that leads to closeness and a personal upgrade that brings you status. Gemini and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 20, 7, 33 and 49.
