Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Nov. 21, 2009: This year, you make waves. Others back off in the face of your excellent verbal skills. If single, don’t count on a relationship being long-term until it actually has gone a year. If attached, it is as if someone put TNT in your lives. Aquarius can be quite provocative.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• Use your instincts to zero in on an older relative or family member. You cannot always have a situation play out as you might like. Your happy, playful side emerges with a partner.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••••• If you wake up in the mood for a day trip, you need to take off. Spontaneity works better than usual. A friend’s unpredictability adds to the moment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••••• A key person in your life dominates and knows exactly what he wants. If you are on top of your game, you could be surprised by what happens.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• Defer to others and examine exactly what it is that you want. You know much more than you reveal. That is called “playing it smart.” You might want to let someone else take the lead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ••• Stay even and mellow. Your understanding grows to an unprecedented level. The unexpected develops when you least anticipate it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••••• Your imagination kicks in. If a child or playful friend is around, you could have an even more delightful time sharing. Romance could sizzle for those who are young and unattached.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••••• You might not always know when you have had enough. Your sense of humor allows unusual openness at home. A roommate or family member brings out another side to your personality.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••••• You make waves wherever you are. Understanding grows in a new direction. What was acceptable might no longer be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) •••• You might want to try another approach, or you might feel as if you are on hold about to break loose. You are not far from wrong, by the way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •••• Investigate a situation; ask appropriate questions. Your willingness to listen is observed by a friend or several key people in your life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••• You will have a difficult time believing the person within you this evening is the same one as this morning. The good news is how great you feel as the day gets older.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ••••• Keep reaching out for someone at a distance. You will either reach this person today, or you might need to wait for several days.
