HAPPY BIRTHDAY

For Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2021:

You are focused, determined and hardworking. This is why you succeed at whatever you do. You are warm, kind and full of common sense. You are also competitive! This is your year to gain recognition for your past efforts, which is why you can expect a promotion, kudos, awards and the appreciation of your peers. The spotlight is shining on you!

Born today: SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Today Mercury and Mars in your sign are at odds with stern Saturn. Initially this feels like an obstacle in your path. Something or someone will block you. (This could be domestic.) However, if instead you work slowly and carefully for your objective, you will make headway.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH Fear can be paralyzing. We all have fearful moments. Today you might feel something is preventing you from being as effective as you want to be. Take a moment to relax. Size up the situation. Then move forward slowly and carefully with the confidence of who you really are.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HH You might feel diminished by the comments of a friend or a member of a group today. Do these people define you? No, they do not. You hear their words. But ultimately, it is your own inner resources that drive you and make you accomplish things.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HH People notice you today. And you’re ambitious! Nevertheless, your efforts are blocked by someone or something or an internal sense of inadequacy. (We’ve all been there.) Continue to move forward in baby steps — slowly, slowly. Be the Little Engine That Could.

(Feb. 19-March 20) HH Self-doubt and a false sense of inadequacy might paralyze you today. Ah yes, the paralysis of the negative. This is a brief dark cloud on your horizon. Accept what is and move forward slowly, bit by bit, and bit by bit you will achieve what you want.
