Horoscopes: Thursday, Nov. 3, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just because a boundary is defined doesn’t mean it’s real. In fact, most boundaries are only as real as people’s reactions to them. The shape of things changes according to the world’s response to them. Be a shaper.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be open to an idea that you once would have laughed at. Most need and want. This week will show you one who can do precisely what you need most. So don’t miss the opportunity. Ask outright for help.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The environment you find yourself in requires you to be alert and on your toes, with strong powers of discernment. If you’re not sure, then do nothing. It won’t help you to act unless you take the right action.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you feel you deserve better, you’re probably right. But what’s more relevant is what you’ll do to get what you want, or what tweaks and trades are necessary to finagle the situation that’s more to your liking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Like the kitten in the tree, you may find yourself having accomplished something remarkable without a clue as to how you got there. Don’t try to head down. Back it up. Do your last dozen motions in reverse.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may determine that you’re on the path to love, and yet it’s still unclear exactly how to proceed. This is about more than a feeling. What practicalities must be addressed for you to bring yourself fully to the endeavor?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). With so much work to be done, ponderousness seems indulgent. And yet, if you don’t think deeply into the situation, all these efforts will be for naught. Decide on the point and the purpose of this and let that be your North Star.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When pursuing the problem, don’t go deep, go broad. The solution will be indirect. Apply a remedy that has already worked in another area of life, a different business or an unrelated discipline.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some people only ask the questions that are likely to elicit the answer they hope for. It feels like a sales technique because it is one. Let no impartial party lead you today. Lead yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Drop assumptions. Aim to understand people and circumstances for how they really are. The one who says this is “all good” probably shouldn’t be trusted with your money.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve done your homework, but it still helps to get a second opinion. The more people involved, the better. People will lift each other and perform better because of one another.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Be thorough. Use a checklist. That will allow you to move efficiently, without mistakes that make you double back or pay more. Doing it by the book will benefit the entire endeavor.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 3). The year will bring you fans and ego-boosting moments enough to warrant a watch on your humility. But you’ll manage the attention well, as you will a special responsibility that puts you in charge of a group with amazing potential. More highlights: a hike of glory, something found in the ground and a sweet reunion. Gemini and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 17, 2, 21 and 33.
