Aries (March 21-April 19):

Avoid those who want to rope you into a confrontation. A problem may seem insurmountable but if you step back and look at it from a new perspective, the solution should be clear and obvious.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Productivity will improve if you create a dynamic and interesting work environment. Spare no expense to get the best tools available, but keep some money tucked away for a rainy day.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

Be honest and forthright to gain the trust and confidence of others. The words of a friend or significant other may provide inspiration. You will benefit by following someone else’s lead.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

Catch more flies with honey. No matter how irritating someone may be, they will not get the job done unless you offer some encouragement. Unexpected news could result in a rapid change.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Pretty words are fine but without concrete evidence that the other party is sincere, it’s just a case of wishful thinking. Use common sense; it is foolish to give away more than you can afford.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Rise to the occasion. Complicated situations may challenge your logic or ignite your sympathies. Turn negatives into positives by meeting challenges head on and your efforts will be rewarded.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

You may pick and choose from a bevy of admirers like picking apples from a tree. You are more attractive than usual and can easily outdo the competition in matters of the heart.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Your intuitions may be a little off base. Don’t spend your pennies unless it is of the utmost urgency. If someone needs a quick loan, be sure to get a repayment plan on paper.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

The best answer is maybe. You may be challenged to make a quick decision, but unless you have all the facts at your disposal, your best bet is to wait.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

When in doubt, wait it out. Your impatience with a financial situation may have you anxious to make drastic changes. The work place is for work; play when you get home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Spread your social wings. If you make yourself approachable, you are likely to attract interesting people. You will have no trouble easing your way through complex social situations.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Lingering doubts and concerns are the only things that keep you from completing a task. You’ve come this far, so see it through to the end.

if November 9 is your birthday:

Your career or financial plans seem to be going great during the next five to six weeks but interruptions and interference from social activities can distract you. Although achieving your ambitions might be a priority in February, you will achieve more success by waiting to launch key initiatives and business plans. March is when your intuition is at its best and when whatever you initiate can have a lasting effect. This can be an excellent time to begin a new health regimen or to adopt a pet, a child or a cause. May is the best month to make key decisions because your judgment is sound, and well-wishers will lend a helping hand.
