For Thursday, Nov. 29:

This year you often feel challenged by others. As a result, you are unusually verbal and frequently get into heated discussions. If you are single, you could meet your next sweetie, so be sure to check out people with care. If you are attached, the two of you will experience an easier year than in the recent past.
