Horoscopes: Monday, Nov. 14, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you are doing it your way and completely unselfconsciously and unapologetically yourself, you have no competition. Getting into this state of confidence is tricky, but when you arrive there, no one can be you better than you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll absorb some enthusiasm as you find yourself with bright, curious and passionate people. What you may not realize is how much you are rubbing off on them, too, in a very positive way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a serene air about you today. You’ve already done all the thinking and planning to make this go as well as it possibly can. It’s as though you’re well rehearsed and now all that’s left to do is let the thing happen naturally.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The surprising and silly things that happen are what make a good story. You can’t force such things, but when you’re open to them, they tend to land in your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To skip the research phase of a project is to waste time, as there is no use in repeating what didn’t work before. Study what worked in the past and note what didn’t work as well. You’ll soon recreate a victory.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The guitarist can’t play with gloves on. In music and in life, friction vibrates the strings. Don’t be afraid to dig in with your nails. This day is waiting for you to give it a rhythm and sound.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll find yourself mentally weaving an alternate version of things. Not all fantasy is escape; sometimes it’s a creative way of working through reality. Understanding comes because you are open to it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). One problem solved will make your life easier in a million ways, as long as it’s the right problem. Since solving irrelevant problems is a waste, it’s worthwhile to step back and get a proper high-level view of the situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re in the mood to reveal. You’ll share your feelings, say what’s on your mind, spill your inner secrets and tell everyone what you intend to add to your life, as well as note what you no longer want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Human perception is based on the same survival mechanism as the other animals: We must filter out more than what we let into our awareness. Sometimes you notice more than you think is good for you, but you can handle it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Everything is going well. It does not mean that all the lights are green, or that the journey is pleasant, cool and free of frustration. It just means that you are actually making progress.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Don’t worry if you don’t know how to get where you want to go. You’ll figure it out in the end. If you don’t know where to go, wait until you come up with an idea. It is better to sit and conserve your energy rather than wander aimlessly.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 14). You are a charmer. If anyone can make these people smile, it’s you. You’ll make soul connections. Doing well on a test will help you leap forward in your purpose. Financial gain comes from communicating your ideas well. Parent/child relationships will be between unrelated people. Your relationship with a loved one reflects the bond you share with a parent. Taurus and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 12, 20, 6 and 42.
