For Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You need to verify everything you hear this year, as misunderstandings can and will run rampant. Partners and authority figures simply aren’t logical, as much as you would like them to be. You might have some old friends and connections return in your life. Why they left your life in the first place might be significant. Avoid swallowing your anger this year, and express your feelings appropriately. If you are single, relationships run up- and downhill, but ultimately you enjoy yourself. Avoid becoming overly serious. If you are attached, you might need to split the finances, as money could be an issue. Take a workshop together in communicating, and you will find that your bond massively improves.

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)

• Postpone signing any agreements, for now. Don’t be surprised if someone you’re counting on flakes out or misunderstands plans. Verify everything. Tonight: Slam the door and don’t answer calls at home.

• Your nerves might be a bit touchy, especially concerning money. How you handle this tension could make all the difference. Talk openly about your feelings, and others will respond. Tonight: Think about a problem.

• Expenses could be more than you had anticipated. On the other hand, you have tremendous earning capacity. You also have the ability to structure a successful budget. Tonight: Plan your holiday budget.

• Your instincts carry you over a problem. Your feelings about a child or a love relationship are strong. You could feel overly responsible or too serious. Tonight: Head home.

• A friend might be very serious or touchy. Realize that your Ruler goes retrograde today, and you could be out of sorts if you don’t get the reactions you want. Tonight: Go shopping.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

• Your serious side emerges when dealing with a boss or associates. Your good humor and willingness to get embroiled in a mess are two of your better characteristics. Tonight: Be as free as a bird.

• You have what it takes to translate the facts in a way that others can absorb. You have an unusual ability to do research and get past rigidity, even your own. Tonight: Catch up on e-mail.

• Your heartfelt efforts help a partner or loved one who is overly serious open up. Still, don’t delude yourself about another’s harsh words, or your own. You are sitting on a lot of anger. Tonight: Quality time.

• Information heading your way could be wrong, whether it is from an expert or a meeting. Right now, you need to verify information and do your own homework. Tonight: Count on yourself right now, but make an effort toward others.

• Someone might have made a promise that he or she cannot keep. Loosen up and be your positive, independent, creative self. You’ll find solutions to complications. Tonight: Rest.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

• * You might not believe what others are saying. In the next few weeks, develop a grain of skepticism; an old friend could return out of the blue. Tonight: Finish up a project.
