Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Nov. 2, 2018:

This year you break past set patterns, which encourages you to make some significant changes. You will feel as if you’ve suddenly opened a door and caught a whiff of fresh air. If you are single, the type of person you choose to relate to is likely to support your transformation. Give yourself time to see if this bond really works for you. If you are attached, the two of you become more comfortable together than ever. Plan a much-desired trip as a couple. Virgo is a trusted friend.

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 opt to let go of pressure and judgments. Flow with the moment, and attempt to clean up after an unexpected event that might have thrown some of your life structure into chaos. A respected friend or family member could be unusually stern.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ Your creativity emerges, causing you to change direction. You might want to slow down some, as you likely don’t have all the facts. Seeking out someone with more expertise could set you back, as this person might not be readily available.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★ You could be unusually quiet and withdrawn. A partner or loved one might be misreading the source of a situation as well as your attitude. As a result, you might not be particularly forthcoming. Your closeness does not support clearing up an issue.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ You want to get past a problem and understand what is happening with various people surrounding you. You might feel as if someone is misreading you. Attempt to stay open and have a discussion to help others be in the same mental space as you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ Get past a misunderstanding. Prevent a hassle by confirming a meeting place and time when making plans. Extra effort on your part could make all the difference in all facets of your life.

You might want to make it an early night.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ You are coming from a different mental space than many of the people around you. You also communicate in a very different way. Verify that you are on the same page as a partner. In the long run, events and discussions will run more smoothly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★ You might be mulling over an ongoing issue as you seek out answers. You also might decide not to share as much as usual, at least until you’ve sorted through all the facts. Remain sensitive to an older person who seems a bit off or closed down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★★ Zero in on a work-related matter. You smile, and another person responds, perhaps with the exception of a grouchy roommate or family member. Maintain a level-headed perspective, and understand where others’ energy is stemming from.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★ You often are flamboyant, but right now you are efficient and serious. You might not have your normal tolerance for chit-chat and sharing news. Clear out your responsibilities and mandatory to-dos. You have more to share than others thought possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ Reach out to a friend or loved one who lives at a distance. You could feel confused by everything you are hearing. Be clear about your choices. You might get together with a favourite person in the near future. You could be moodier than you realize.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ You could be exhausted from doing what a partner requests. You like relating to this person in general, but you might sense a demanding attitude that could revolve around time-sensitive issues. Question less and just clear out what you must.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ Defer to a partner or loved one. Often you miss a detail or two, especially when it comes to making plans. The other party involved might feel as though he or she can take the lead, so hand this person the reins. Appreciate the lightening of pressure.
