For Monday, Nov. 1, 2004. Those with birthdays today: Your intuition needs to take the driver’s seat this year. You will not go wrong if you follow your emotional responses. You are like a cat landing on his feet. You are protected. Negative events turn out for the better. If you are single, carefully check out the person you like. This person might be holding something back and not be what he or she appears to be. You also might date a lot and meet some very different people. If you are attached, your relationship will benefit from detachment, listening and adding more playful events.

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