You’ve seen too much of life to have a strictly sunny outlook. You know the shadow is there, and you’re not afraid to peer into the dark. But you don’t let the darkness seduce you either. You’ll train your mind to move toward the light. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): This thing pitting you against you has to last a lifetime. As with any long-term relationship, sometimes it will be a real slog. Drop the adversarial stance and commit to being a better more forgiving and supportive friend to yourself. Today’s birthday (Nov. 13): This big project to which you’ve devoted yourself will never be finished; it has a life of its own now. But it will pay out big dividends time and again this year, and this allows you to help your loved ones and create a lot of fun, too. Also of note: a certificate you earn, romance in hot summer nights and a family addition. Capricorn and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 34, 7, 18, 3 and 45.
