For Sunday, Nov. 28, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You have the wherewithal to get much more of what you want out of life. You must court others often, as they seem one step, if not more, behind you. Trust your ability to flex. Work on being less blunt and slightly more reasonable. Let others have their way, because you cannot change them. Saying “no” and giving others space will become a learned skill. Others simply have their own styles and come from different backgrounds. If you are single, you will meet new people. Don’t move quickly. Date as much as you need to. You will meet someone special this year who will be a friend and lover. If you are attached, agree to disagree. Plan on private time together.

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 have a standing chance of putting your foot in your mouth or exaggerating a situation. Be careful what you say, even over the phone. Others appear abnormally sensitive. Tonight: Get some extra snoozes.

• You can twist your budget and pull it in several directions, but you cannot change the facts or the balance. Avoid robbing Peter to pay Paul. Plan on easy fun without much cost or many problems. Tonight: Find your friends.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

• Your personality might be on high, but others remain reactive. Surprise a family member or visit with an older friend. Your attention is valued. Take time in the afternoon to balance your budget. Tonight: Pay bills.

• Remain playful and friendly, even if others appear to have a case of the bah humbugs. You might want to go off and do your own thing. Together you don’t need to deal with downers. Tonight: Call it an early night.

• Taking responsibility, unfortunately, comes naturally, though you need to learn to stop. A day off could contribute to a better mood. Friends finally draw you out of the blahs. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

• Someone wants all your attention, whether you want to give it or not. Be reasonable and pull away if necessary. Someone might be baiting you without realizing it. Tonight: Get a head start on Monday’s work.

• * Go along with someone else’s plans, e.g., make yourself available to a special person. Agree to disagree. You find that quality time together strengthens your bond and helps clear the air. Tonight: Relax to a movie.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

• Others seek you out, but no matter what, confusion and change mark your day. You need to put on your happy armor and walk out the door. A higher-up could be unpredictable. Tonight: Be a duo.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

• Finish up a project, if you can. Listen to your instincts with a work-related matter or a home project. Getting others to pitch in could be difficult. Don’t try to aggravate yourself. Tonight: Just say “yes” — make it easy.

• You find answers and solutions. Others seem as if they cannot flow. Whatever comes along makes those around you unhappy. Don’t let this behavior impair your mood. Go to the zoo. Tonight: Head home early.

• Stay close to home. You need some R and R. Get into a holiday project. Make your Christmas list or start doing your cards. You need time to yourself. Be direct with a family member. Tonight: Kick up your heels.
