HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): You understand something intellectually that you don’t understand emotionally or vice versa.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Where is this going? Think about the end, and you’ll do all the parts better.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Your energy has a signature. It goes wherever you go. You don’t even have to touch anything for that signature to be felt while you’re there or left behind in your wake.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): The stakes are high because the time it takes to play the game is time you’ll never get back.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): People might complain about your absence instead of celebrating your presence. You’ll have to mentally reinterpret things to get the true message.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

You will listen carefully, stay engaged over the entire course of a cycle and express yourself so as to have the best chance at being heard and understood.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): A scenario requires certainty and boldness — a chasm you can’t cross in in two jumps. Back up, get a running start, and commit to your one big leap.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You may be adept at a thing, but you’re not really a master of it until you can effectively teach it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Those who accept and love you offer a warm sort of attention that’s different from the attention you’ll receive from those who are getting to know you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When it comes to relationships of any kind, people are attractive in inverse proportion to how needy they are.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.

18): You’ll be building your team. Keep in mind that groups with diverse talents are the strongest.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): AHumor is a way to turn sadness outward instead of inward. You’ll forget about that as they laugh and love you today.

Today’s birthday (Nov. 5): This solar return finds you emotionally flexible and vibrant. Inspiration shows up in the form of people you want to be like and people you don’t want to be like. You’ll love the relationship dynamics coming up. Your role will be new and different. You’ll wipe the slate clean of expectation and establish new patterns. Cancer and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10, 3, 38 and 5.
