For Monday, Nov. 1:

This year a partner you regularly deal with keeps you optimistic. You often get too cynical and too focused on reality. If you are single, you always are attractive to the opposite sex, and this year is no different … except that you seem to want to spend more time at home. If you are attached, you will become closer as a result of working through an issue together.
