HOROSCOPE

Friday, Nov. 2, 2012

Aries (March 21-April 19) You could be more gruff than you realize. You say what you think and do what you say. Be careful, as some people are not used to your forthright style. Anger or hostility could come out with the wrong person. Ouch!

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) When you’re frustrated, no other sign rivals your ability to become overindulgent. You could be attacking your checkbook, or a partner might be acting as if money grows on trees. You’ll want to assume control for now, so be sure to utilize your self-discipline. Tonight: TGIF.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You come off much stronger and more rigid than you might realize, especially right now. You could hear some sharp words, which might be directed at you but really have nothing to do with you. Let those comments slide right off you.

Tonight: All smiles, beaming into the night. Cancer

(June 21-July 22) You might want to funnel your energy -- both negative and positive -- into a project. You could be overwhelmed by everything that comes up. It would be better to incorporate your vigor into a pending project than to let it get out of control.

Tonight: Choose a stressbuster.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Zero in on what is hap- pening within your immediate circle. A child or loved one could act up out of the blue. Tempers will flare, but as long as no one holds a grudge, a resolution is possible. You might be catering to someone more than you wish you were. Tonight: You are the party!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Pressure builds among those around you. Delivering what you promised remains critical. You have the same expectation of others. Do not allow anyone to rain on your parade. Use care with a volatile roommate or family member. Tonight: A must appearance.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) If you find yourself at an impasse, detach ... at least until you can get a variety of perspectives on the situation. You could be careless around machinery. Stay current with electrical and mechanical equipment.

Tonight: Go with an unusual invitation.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Realize that you are doing an excellent job of juggling various interests. You understand where a partner is coming from, and you get his or her logic. You could be frustrated with yourself and your lack of self-discipline. Go for a walk rather than blow your top.

Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s suggestion.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Do you really think you can sit on your feelings and put up a front? Somehow your body language and facial expressions will tell on you. You are better off gently expressing your anger and frustration with your words so that others can hear what you have to say.

Tonight: Remain responsive to a key person in your life.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Focus on your ability to get a job done. A friend or loved one might want to pitch in at the last minute; however, you could be more rigid than you think, and someone else’s style and organization might irritate you. Tonight: Out with a cohort.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Remain playful and open with others. You could become frustrated with a friend, or vice versa. Try not to get assertive, fussy and/or critical. Someone lets you know just how much he or she is aggravated. Avoid a reaction, if possible.

Tonight: Follow the fun, and make sure there is music.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Be sensitive to a family member who might be distressed by the amount of time you spend with an older friend or a respected associate. The smart thing is to not get into it with this person -- neither of you needs a fight right now. Tonight: Stay close to home.
