Horoscope

Happy birthday: for Wednesday, Nov. 23. This year you do a lot of heavy thinking and evaluating. You might not share your thoughts often, which could cause others to feel as if you have withdrawn. You simply are more reflective. You will succeed in what you choose to do. If you are single, you will stay single if you so desire. If you want to change your status, that also is a possibility. You are the master of your destiny. If you are attached, this could become one of the happiest years you have shared together. You and your sweetie create long-term goals together. LIBRA is always your friend. Aries (March 21-April 19): ★★★★ You might hit a mental roadblock.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): ★★★★ Your moodiness seems to affect your expressions, your choice of clothes, etc. You look as though you are a person on the move.
