This week’s birthdays: In the past they said of you, “what a precocious child,” because you were so beyond your years. This year you catch up and even go in reverse. You’re younger than ever, finding new joy and innocence everywhere. November is a stellar month for your finances, although your income may not change much – it’s your attitude about money and what it can buy that is different. Your love life gets a burst of magic in January. There’s a trip to look forward to in June. Lively nights fill August.

Aries

March 21-April 19

You would reschedule a personal project to help out a friend, but you wouldn’t disappoint a friend in order to conduct your own personal business. Your selflessness turns out for the best early in the week, but don’t make it a habit. You need and deserve to make your own mission the most important one.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

You’re trying to solve a big problem, and logic will only take you so far. It’s your appreciation of art and poetry that will get your mind going in the right direction to glue together the pieces and, if not solve the mystery, at least accept and enjoy the fact that it cannot be solved. A Gemini speaks your soul’s language.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

You’re not invested in whether or not others come around to your way of thinking. If they do, fine. If not, the diversity amuses you. Just because you decide to “live and let live” doesn’t mean others will. Hopefully those who don’t agree with you will not try to change your mind, though, which is an impossible feat.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

A person who has been toxic toward you in the past will ask you, in their own funny way, for another chance. You still have a few emotional bumps and bruises leftover from the last time. When all is healed, you’ll give this person another shot. Until then, put yourself around people who are sure to make you laugh.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

You like your relationships deep. However, this is no time to underestimate the importance of large networks with those you hardly know. It turns out you don’t have to get enmeshed in other’s lives to be successful in fun or business with them. Personal economics improve as you make light, friendly gestures.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Those who wish you well really mean it, though the message may come from a selfish place. It’s possible they want you to succeed because it will affect their own lives favorably. There is nothing wrong with having fair-weather friends, but it’s good to recognize the difference. A true friend loves unconditionally.

Libra

September 23 – October 23

It’s easy to get down on yourself – your standards are so lofty. Ease up a bit. Were you an animal, you would deem yourself hugely successful to be able to get enough to eat and escape being eaten. Considering the shark pool you’ve been swimming in lately, you’d be wise to adopt the same criteria.

Scorpio

October 24 – November 21

Maybe it’s sleep deprivation, or maybe it’s a deal that didn’t go the way you expected it to. Whatever the cause, you’re feeling a little tight with resources and short on emotional reserves. Reinforce the idea of abundance. Indulge in a treat you normally wouldn’t afford yourself. It’s your turn to go wild over your bad self.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

There will be mishaps – oh boy, will there ever! Only the optimists will have something to gain out of the snafu. Do be reasonable and modest. It would be a shame to miss the cloud’s silver lining because you were expecting gold. Almost everyone you meet this week is on your side, which helps enormously.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

You’ll be meeting others with strengths similar to yours. It’s tempting to partner up with these people, and it’s true that you might be able to come up with something remarkable. But if you partner with someone whose strengths are different from yours, something even more amazing comes from that union.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

There’s an exciting sense of momentum. Progress is inevitable. Checks clear, deals close, the one who denied you before will finally take you in. Furthermore, from Thursday through Saturday it’s like you can’t do anything wrong. Gemini and Virgo friends make a meaningful contribution to your cause.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Whatever is going on with the material items in your world, the same is going on in your heart. It’s not difficult for you to see the metaphor in your life, though you’re not always sure what it means. To decipher may be unnecessary, at least right now, though it is important to distinguish the real you from the symbols.
