Horoscopes: Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You expect challenges — some logistical, some communication-related and some inherent to the work at hand. Your sporting attitude should make this a lot of fun!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes, as you follow your intuition, you wonder which internal voice is the right one. Note that intuition often comes in the form of curiosity or interest. Follow that and you’ll be psychically connected.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re protective of your loved ones and will, in your own calm, controlled way, leap to their defense at the slightest sign that it’s needed. Do the same for yourself. Teach the world how to treat you and yours.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even though the demands on you are not difficult, they are still abundant. You have to draw the line somewhere. You’re clear about why you’re making efforts. Rule out what goes against your “why” and you’ll be left with the best answers.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll get another chance at a project that didn’t quite work out the first time around. Your creativity is flowing. Don’t worry about how much sense a thing makes. It’s the impractical ventures that lead to exciting and lucrative developments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You notice and speak to what you observe in others. Your kind words set you apart. Compliments like the ones you give are rare. They might catch people off guard, but you can be sure that later they’ll think about what you’ve said.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes an act of conformity is the polite thing to do, but if you have to ignore your intuition in the process, it won’t be worth it. You value politeness, but there are many more important virtues that will come to bear on today’s situation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Though the broad strokes my seem to be lining up just fine, it’s what you pick up in the small details — your nearly subliminal understanding of things — that will have the biggest effect on your energy. You can trust your sense of things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t believe that anyone’s time is more or less valuable than yours, and you prove this point by being punctual. It will take special planning to pull this off with today’s challenges.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When being around people is draining, you find energy in other kinds of connections. For instance, through your special connection with animals, you appreciate nature and praise its beauty.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your good taste will be called on as you host or assist a friend in hosting. It is not lost on you that the one who controls details like music and lighting is also controlling the mood, which you’ll manage to do to excellent effect.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Environments matter. It’s easier to study in a clean room or sing in a quiet room. You don’t always have the correct space to do the activities you most enjoy, but you will make moves to remedy this and build a life more to your liking.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 16). You love seeing good things happen for your colleagues and family; it fortifies your belief that it can also happen for you, and so it will. You’re open to the world and its influence and yet you’ve an unchanging core of strength inside you. Among this year’s amazements: a prayer is answered and a wish is delivered, too. Scorpio and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 22, 28, 30 and 14.
