Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Nov. 18, 2011: You often feel a conflict between your emotional needs and your image. Don’t look at these two principles as opposites; look for their similarities. Though Scorpio is always sexy, you are even more so this year. You attract suitors left and right. If attached, your significant other might really enjoy your warmer style. The two of you could bond even more firmly if you give up being critical. Virgo is always your friend. A baby born today has a sun in Scorpio and a moon in Leo until 2:19 p.m. Pacific time, when the moon enters Virgo.
