BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Note: Bigar’s Stars is based on the degree of your sun at birth. The sign name is simply a label astrologers put on a set of degrees for convenience. For best results, readers should refer to the dates following each sign.

A baby born today has a Sun in Scorpio and a Moon in Capricorn if born before 6: 30 p. m. ( PDT). Afterward, the Moon will be in Aquarius. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Nov. 8, 2013:

This year you will be more optimistic and expressive than you have been for quite a while. If you are single, you might feel bowled over by your popularity. Before you know it, you could be acting like a kid in a candy store. Date as much as you want. You will know when you connect with someone significant. If you are attached, the two of you could have your share of misunderstandings, but you’ll learn to see them as quick passages. You will relate on an intense level. AQUARIUS is a loyal friend.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5Dynamic; 4- Positive; 3- Average; 2- So- so; 1- Difficult ARIES ( March 21- April 19) ★ ★ ★ ★ You could be dealing with someone who thinks he or she is in charge. You might prefer to not take this person on. Anger builds and comes out in a meeting. Choose your words with care; you won’t be able to take them back later. Tonight: Let the fun begin. TAURUS ( April 20- May 20) ★ ★ ★ Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. This person might be resistant at first, but you will be able to help him or her see your logic. A discussion about your feelings with a child or loved one needs to happen soon, because the other party is on edge. Tonight: Chat over dinner. GEMINI ( May 21- June 20) ★ ★ ★ ★ You have an opportunity to reach out to someone you really care about. It is time for a oneonone conversation. Make a point of having this chat as soon as possible; otherwise, you might be unduly concerned or uptight. Tonight: Have a discussion over dinner. CANCER ( June 21- July 22) ★ ★ ★ ★ You have a great sense of when is and when is not a good time to bend for someone else. A friend or loved one could have pushed you very hard. You might decide to go along with this person one more time only to be sorry that you did later. Tonight: Curb your anger. LEO ( July 23- Aug. 22) ★ ★ ★ ★ Get as much done as possible. You’ll want to free up time earlier than on most Fridays. You will enter a very social period this weekend. You might network some, but you also will become a party animal soon enough. Tonight: Sort through your many invitations and requests. VIRGO ( Aug. 23- Sept. 22) ★ ★ ★ ★ Focus on the lighter side of what is happening. Detach, and you won’t get triggered. Tempers will flare otherwise, and you easily could lose your temper. Be aware that tension might build all day long. Tonight: Make plans that will allow you to work through some of the stress. LIBRA ( Sept. 23- Oct. 22) ★ ★ ★ You might have difficulty getting going. So much so, you might decide to cancel plans and assume the role of couch potato. Everyone needs to take some much- needed down time sooner or later. That time is now for you. Tonight: You might get a last- minute urge to go out. SCORPIO ( Oct. 23- Nov. 21) ★ ★ ★ ★ You are all smiles and seeing life from a Friday point of view. How you deal with a very assertive friend might surprise him or her. You rarely lose your temper when dealing with this person, so he or she will need to be ready to accept this side of you. Tonight: Mosey on home. SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 22- Dec. 21) ★ ★ ★ ★ Deal with a money matter as quickly as possible. You could be pondering an important decision. If you can take the weekend to mull over this issue, do. Try not to get into a tiff with a difficult associate. Return calls later in the afternoon. Tonight: Go with the most fun option. CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19) ★ ★ ★ You might have been toying with the idea that you would like to do something silly. Your sense of humor and the time you spend to involve someone else demonstrates your caring far more than you realize. Tonight: Be clear about your plans in order to avoid a misunderstanding. AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20- Feb. 18) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You might want to be a couch potato just for a day. Everyone, including you, needs time off to do what he or she wants — even if that is doing nothing. You put yourself out for others so often that you do not make enough time for you. Tonight: Catch a second wind. PISCES ( Feb. 19- March 20) ★ ★ ★ Use the daylight hours to the max, when success seems to travel with you. Your unusual creativity and charisma draw many people toward you. Complete as much as you can today, while the Force is with you. Tonight: Vanish. Let others wonder where you are.
