HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Changes add excitement and interest. Take them in a flow, as if you’re aware it’s all part of the pattern.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): When things get confusing or complicated, purify them by placing the messy stuff in the open and letting the elements do their thing.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): People attach emotionally through sound, smell, repetition. Your awareness of what and who you are attaching to will be key.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You aim to buy and sell at a fair price. This applies not just to monetary matters but to currencies on which the math is harder to do.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): They may not show enough appreciation. It’s only because they don’t understand what goes into the making of this thing they expect from you. Educate them.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The wrapper isn’t everything, but it does matter. Make the outside appealing and the inside is more likely to be appreciated.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Here comes the new territory, the unfamiliar interaction and the necessity of asking yourself, “How should I judge this?” You’ll be gathering clues to answer that.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The extra smile, a little shared laughter — these personal touches keep people coming back. They can be overdone, though it’s unlikely you’d let that happen.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You’re facing a challenge, which is what will make this both a great day and an emotionally heightened one. Relax. Things will only get better and clearer.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Solutions will not be difficult to find today. But the real gold to be mined is in pondering the deeper and unanswerable mysteries.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll wonder if you’ve given too much; maybe you have. To know, you need to see how your gifts helped.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You don’t need to be better. You only need to be braver. Bring this version of you to the world; it is exactly what someone needs.

Today’s birthday (Nov. 18): Owing to an instinct for finding fortuitous information and mentors, you’ll stumble on ways to make your life less stressful and more manageable, enjoyable and adventurous. New lines of work and income open up. What you do for a family member will go down in family history. Taurus and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers: 9, 40, 44, 2, 28.
