Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Nov. 1, 2018:

This year you have too much energy at times to contain. Sometimes you find that you get annoyed or angry with those who are less enthusiastic than you are. Your ability to get down to the basics remains high. If you are single, you could stumble into a passionate relationship that has many highs and lows. It’s possible that you might choose not to be involved because of the intensity. If you are attached, you might fight more with your sweetie. Nevertheless, you will kiss and make up more often. Leo often gives you helpful advice.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ You might not intend to hit the extremes you could reach today. Perhaps you have been holding in your feelings for too long. You will find that your irritation builds. Try to discharge negative energy before the problem becomes bigger.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ You could be in a situation where you must deal with several difficult people, and might feel as if you have no other option. Someone close to you has been extraordinarily difficult for several months. Deal with this issue now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ You could feel overwhelmed, as someone insists on approaching you and clearing the air. You might have difficulty staying calm when dealing with this person, as he or she knows how to get under your skin. Try to work through your intense feelings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ You might have your hands full dealing with a loved one over an issue that involves both of you. Try not to get triggered. If you do, recognize what in you gets charged that way and why. You will find one-on-one relating to be more successful at present.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ You might hit a disagreement and find that you are a lot angrier than you had thought. Try to tame your tone and your words, because the other party has similar feelings. Later in the day, you are more likely to have a reasonable conversation to resolve a problem.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★ Your nerves could be fried from having too much to do. More and more to-dos are dumped on your plate. Be willing to say “no” to the next few requests. Consider cancelling some appointments or engagements.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ Your friends surround you. You are likely to join them whenever your pace slows down, perhaps after several meetings. You have a lot on your mind. Relaxing with a friend seems to help you let go of recent stress.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★★ You have a way and a style about you that draws many people toward you. Today, however — whether intentionally or not — you could trigger quite a disagreement, especially if someone you are supposed to respect becomes difficult.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ You could feel unusually drained and exhausted because of a recent heavy conversation that started out as an argument. You certainly will have a lot to think about over the next few days. You see yourself and someone else quite differently as a result.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ Connect with someone you have a lot of dealings with, especially those involving money. You might want to divulge some private information about a financial matter. You appreciate the diversity of opinions that surround you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★ You need to take charge of your mood. The tension between you and a close friend could be very strong, if you are not careful. Try to detach and not get triggered. You will find the other parties involved to be more responsive if you do that.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ Reach out to someone at a distance or an expert who is always full of great ideas. Decide to brainstorm with this person as long as you both deem necessary. The less you discuss your anger or resentment for the moment, the better.
