For Saturday, Nov. 6, 2004. Those with birthdays today: Friends and associates help you achieve success this year. Networking keys in to what you want. Teamwork makes a difference. A child or loved one could be reactive and difficult this year. You might want to learn new techniques to handle him or her. Your finances need care and precision. If you are single, you will have a lot of excitement in your love life. Don’t assume a relationship is long-term until it is. If you are attached, work on a common goal together. This project helps draw you closer.

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

• Your morning mood could go down the drain because of an unexpected upset or insight. A misunderstanding or need to change plans might be at the base of the problem. Relax and do what you need to do to chill out. Are you overreacting? Tonight: Make it easy.

• You might want to stay home, but even more important is indulging a child or loved one. Sometimes you might need to say “no” to friends. Dedicate your day to those you love. A partner might not understand your attitude. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

• Pressure builds around your home. Demands come from the outside world. Learn to say “no.” You might upset several people. Take care of your immediate circle. Tonight: Close to home.

• Handle finances directly. You might be concerned about unexpected news from a distance. Change plans. Tonight: Catch up on news over dinner.

• You need to finish or do what is important in the morning. Later on in the day, you might want to do some price comparison about a new purchase for a child or loved one. Tonight: It’s your treat.

• Your energy picks up as the day gets older. You have more charisma than you are aware of. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.

• Know when to vanish, like today. You might have something on your mind that is upsetting you. Tonight: Do your thing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

• Friends push you; they want your company. Unfortunately, you could upset a child or loved one if you do what you want. Tonight: Don’t overspend.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

• You might be juggling more than you can handle. You might need to put in extra time at work or with a community project. Tonight: Call it a night as early as possible.

• If you want to take off and do something different, go for it. Still, last-minute hassles might force you to cancel your adventure. Tonight: Rent a movie or go where there is music.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

• Once more, you pull the wild card financially. An associate might not be as easygoing as you would like. Tonight: Let a friend or loved one lead.

• You react, and others become controlling. You might find people all over the place emotionally and intellectually. Sort through a misunderstanding with someone you have to answer to. Tonight: Accept an invitation.
