For Saturday, Nov. 1, 2003. Those with birthdays today: You will often be preoccupied by family matters. You display an unusual ability to talk about what you want and feel. Others listen and rally around your cause, no matter what it might be. If you are single, you will have many suitors in your life. The issue will be choosing the right one. Remember, this is a unique year, so don’t think you will always have it like this. If you are attached, your relationship blossoms, especially if you, as a team, realize a special hope or desire.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
