Horoscopes

For Thursday, Nov. 18, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You have the gift of getting past people’s natural resistances. You sometimes use money, but most of the time, your intuition leads you in the right direction. Your sixth sense remains strong. Learn to trust your feelings more often and be less active. Your family and domestic security star as high priorities. Give a full 100 percent. If you are single, someone you meet might become very special to you, but not a person you are willing to share with others. He or she could be married or attached. If you are attached, your relationship will flourish because of your new concern for family and home.

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)

  • You say what you want, but be prepared to hear news that might be uncomfortable, at best. Read between the lines with a request. You might also need to check out the facts for yourself. Tonight: Do only what you want.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Others take charge. You might as well bend like a willow rather than fight the inevitable. Assume a more positive view at work. Tonight: Out late working, and maybe a late lunch.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • Use your finely tuned mental abilities to read between the lines. In fact, for you, the actions of others might be quite transparent, but for others, your explanations are needed. Tonight: You walk to the beat of a different drummer.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Your ability to zero in on what is important helps a partner. Your efficiency earmarks the quality of your work. Basics count. Tonight: Togetherness.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Others knock on your door like there’s no tomorrow. The unexpected marks your decisions — at least to others it appears unexpected. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Let no one make a mistake — you’re about work and getting the job done. Others admire your consistency and well-developed efficiency. Tonight: Relax all you want.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • Your creativity comes through when others fall flat. You have answers, ideas and the energy to follow through. Your charming manner draws many to you. Tonight: Hop out of the office.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Basics count. You’ll come to a better understanding if you’re willing to discuss your obligations and needs. A loved one might not be sharing all that he or she needs to. You cannot force his or her hand, either. Tonight: Hang close to home.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • Your ability to state your case makes all the difference in the response you get. Others dote on you and want to pitch in to make your job easier. Why not? Tonight: Visit with your pals.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Investigate what needs to happen financially. You might want to spend money on or dote on someone, but you need to refrain for a while. Tonight: Your treat.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Your personality switches to high, making you close to unstoppable. Your efforts to read between the lines pay off. Be generous and give others the benefit of the doubt. Tonight: As you like it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • Take your time making a decision. You see many pros and cons within a decision. If you’re not sure which way to go, then don’t take action yet. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s.
