the surprise center, the smallest Russian nesting doll in the set, the only really solid version of the whole bunch. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll never be sorry for employing civility. There are many other ways you could go that would be effective, maybe even more so, but they are a risk to be measured. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As far as the “haves” and “have-nots” go, it’s a tricky matter. The “haves” will appear to be rich in certain things that most people want. Yet the “have-nots” may be wealthier in the things that matter. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Who are your friends? This is the question of the day, not because you question the ties you know well but because you’re moving into new realms with new people and you need to find out where you can safely put your trust. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): What charms one person will most likely charm 100or more. Consider taking it public. The more people you add to your network today the more money you’ll make tomorrow. Today’s birthday (Nov. 18): You’re not afraid of competition, and you see obstacles as a gift. Because of this attitude, you’ll wind up training by putting yourself up against formidable opponents. And yes, you will become mighty. Your position of strength will help you in all areas of life, even love. Relationships will bond through travel. Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 33, 25, 7 and 49. Forecast for the week ahead: Though no one can be certain what goes on in the private mind of any other creature, it would seem that one of the many things that set humans apart from the other animals is that we make up stories. We do it for pleasure, but we also do it out of necessity. It’s as though our minds just can’t be satisfied with two clashing facts until we can bridge them with some kind of storyline that will allow the world to go on spinning in the particular way that makes sense to us. The gaps that need filling will be many and varied this week, with Mercury retrograde stirring up a bit of mischief and the many cosmic changes of the next seven days. The sun enters Sagittarius, the sign of adventure, luck and a global mindset. This happens on the same day as a very social full moon in Gemini, which also happens to be Thanksgiving Day in the USA. The important takeaway with all that commotion is to go slowly, stay aware and keep your perspective on a par with the others around you. It’s only a big deal or a small deal because someone says it is.
