For Friday, Nov. 19, 2004. Those with birthdays today: Though you often experience tension, you find ways of working through uptight energy. You might get into yoga or exercise more frequently. Some find you to be overactive. Many of you will take up a new physical hobby that keeps you busy and relaxes your nerves. Your artistic and creative outlets come forth. If you are single, romance and flirtation will provide exhilaration and an outlet. Don’t assume a relationship is long-term until it has gone through the four seasons. If you are attached, focus some of your high energy into your special relationship.
