For Friday, Nov. 12, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You have the rare opportunity to have a veritable new beginning this year. Your creativity soars, and with the help of your innate self-discipline, you are practically invincible. You have ideas that never seem to end; jot them down in a notebook and don’t forget them. You might lack the ability to see the long-term ramifications of your schemes and ideas. Let others give you feedback. Sometimes you might appear arrogant or self-involved. Learn to let others in more often and listen to their ideas. If you are single, your desirability is high. You might want to play the field rather than commit right now. If you are attached, remember that there are two people in your relationship.

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 impulsiveness merges with creativity. You have great ideas, which, when used, could make a difference within your key relationships and your finances. Tonight: Laugh into the night.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

• You make a decision about a relationship, and you might not want to talk about everything that you are feeling. Tonight: With your best friend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

• Leaving work takes talent. Others simply might want to visit at the end of the day. Invite co-workers for munchies and a cold drink after work. Tonight: Relax and don’t overdo it.

• Your serious approach could spook someone close. Is that what you really want? Tonight: Act and feel as if it is Friday night.

• Organizing others and just making plans work seem like hardy tasks today. You see reluctance on the part of others to take on anything more. Meetings don’t flow. Tonight: Make a decision about taking a workshop in communication.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

• Pressure builds at work, but you will feel overwhelmed by all that is tossed at you. Reorganize your finances and tighten your belt. Tonight: Fun doesn’t have to cost!

• Though you might not have all the vision and perspective you want, you feel great. Let your wit, intelligence and charisma meld together. Tonight: Whatever you want.

• Use your time to clean up your desk. Listen to a partner who might be way too serious. You can’t change his or her opinion, but you can ask key questions. Tonight: You don’t have to explain. Vanish.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

• Close partners and loved ones could easily rain on your parade, but friends will not. You might be encouraged to rethink your relationships. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

• You might find that your creativity falls flat or a new friendship is slightly touchy. Tonight: Be where the music is.
