Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018:

This year you express an unusual amount of creativity. Though you might not always be realistic, you always seem to have a new idea ready to share. Curb a tendency to go overboard, especially financially. If you are single, you easily could become woven into a very romantic bond. You could feel quite fortunate to have met this person. If you are attached, you have established a rhythm with your significant other. There could be a new addition to your family, if you are at the right stage in life. Virgo annoys you with his or her fussiness.

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 feel or believe one thing, yet the facts are unlikely to support its validity. You will need to ask more questions and/or do more research. Avoid a person who has too much sway in your life — at least for the moment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★★ Your creativity emerges, which allows you to see situations in a new light. Understand that you can’t always use logic to clarify certain hunches. You might want to avoid someone who affects you subtly but wields a heavy hand of power.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ You could be exhausted by all the recent mood changes of those around you. You’ll want to see a particular situation from a more positive, creative perspective. Do that and you might be inspired. Others seem critical and fussy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Your feelings seem to be close to the surface right now. Know that you could be dealing with a particularly sensitive issue. You are seeing this issue through the lens of your emotions. You might have a hard time being completely rational.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ What a partner presents as a great idea could easily dissolve right in front of your eyes. Be kind, but do not make any decisions just yet. Enjoy this person, but stay out of situations where your actions could have long-term implications.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ A wave of confusion surrounds your words. You might wonder if it is your choice of words or your tone that is creating or adding to this confusion. Be sure that those listening know the true essence of your thoughts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You wish you could verbalize some of your thoughts and ideas. You understand the importance of using the right words and not hurting anyone else’s feelings. Since you might not be sure of your message, it probably is best to say little for now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★ Use caution with your funds. You might not be as careful with your budget as you probably need to be. You do not want to suffer a loss or miscount your change. In the present moment, brainstorm all you want, but do not make any final decisions just yet.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★ You might not be aware of a family secret or that a roommate could be withholding some information from you. You sense a lack of focus at your home, but you might not be sure what is going on. Don’t pressure others; just do your thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ Your hunches seem to be right on. If you’re playing bridge or another card game, you could be unusually lucky because of your sixth sense. Use your intuition well, but do not rely on it too heavily; otherwise, it could cause you a problem.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★ You might be surprised to learn how much fate can affect your finances. Try to use good sense when out and about. If you are 100 per cent sure of what you need to do, talk to someone who frequently plays devil’s advocate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ You might choose not to share everything that you are feeling and seeing. On some level, there is a surreal quality to your thoughts; it makes sense to you, but not to others. If you’re unusually talented or artistic, embrace these traits. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Nov. 4, 2018:

This year you are determined to be noticed and have others appreciate you. That determination might lessen as the year goes on and you enjoy your downtime and private time even more. If you are single, it could be important to choose someone who isn’t too needy and can adjust to your different desires. If you are attached, your sweetie will flow with your various needs. Be sure that you are just as flexible in return. Libra cares about being fair when dealing with you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ Defer to someone else. You like being in charge, but sometimes this person needs to take the reins. You also might appreciate this person’s choices more than you did in the past. Great planning often leads to a great time for everyone involved.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ Others greet you with enthusiasm and happiness. You cannot help but enjoy being part of the group. Reach out to an older person at a distance. This person might seem closed down. However, a little news and a good joke could cheer this person up.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ You are personality plus, and others see a change in how you feel and how you carry yourself. Your focus might be on keeping plans lively but undemanding. You’ll want to spend time with a loved one or a romantic interest.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★ You can be emotionally complex and demanding at times. One of the places you are happiest is at home. Allow more socializing to take place, even if you are housekeeping. Your sense of humour helps loosen up an uptight family member.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ Try to make a round of calls to those you rarely have time to speak with. You might consider reaching out to a loved one at a distance. If you don’t already have plans for today and in the near future, be sure that you will.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★ Look at your budget and be aware of your finances before going out to join a friend or loved one at a favourite but expensive haunt for brunch. You could chat for hours with this person. Do not push yourself any harder than you need to right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You feel better and better as the day goes on. The Moon in your sign makes you the lead player in whatever you plan. Others seem to favour you more than usual. Someone shares a problem that is very heavy. Your help and sensitivity touch this person.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★ You could feel drained by what is going on. Do not hesitate to take time for yourself. Do whatever you need to do in order to recharge your energy. A loved one might try to coax you to join him or her. Do what you need to do for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ Even if you want to cocoon, others seem to appear on your doorstep. Your friends and loved ones have missed your company and want to see you. Be flattered and join them. What starts out as one activity quickly melds into another. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ You sometimes resist saying what you think. Putting the cap on your self-expression might be nearly impossible today. You are likely to share your opinions with anyone who will listen. You like being valued for your mental acumen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★★ Your mind drifts to someone at a distance whom you care about deeply. Open up to new possibilities that exist between the two of you. You might have thought that rekindling a relationship here was impossible, but clearly you were wrong.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★★ Set aside some quality time to be with a loved one. One-on-one relating reminds you of when you were just getting to know each other. A friendship plays a role in making plans. Be aware of the interactions you have with different friends.
