Horoscopes: Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You appreciate the beauty around you when it’s there. When it isn’t, your talent for transformation emerges. You just can’t let ugly places happen; you’ll work with what’s there and mold it to a beautiful configuration.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Wishing won’t make it so, but it’s certainly a start! In wishing, you will access a pure part of yourself, an unadulterated appetite that has to do with being a human. Act on it to better the situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People who despair will say they are “fine” so as not to worry others. People who feel amazing will also say they are “fine” so as not to make others jealous. For the truth, observe language beyond the verbal.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your physical travels mirror your mental travels. Your thoughts will take you all over the map. Every time you land someplace new, you’ll recognize what led you to that spot, and which actions and thoughts inspired the journey.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The rules aren’t written in stone, and neither are the instructions or the terms of use. Everything is a negotiation. You can start the deal one way and then revisit it later to make sure it’s still working for everyone involved.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Though status, strength, intelligence and glamour are certainly of interest, the most attractive quality will be playfulness. Everyone wants to get to know the person who’s having fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Giving the wrong amount doesn’t feel good. Too much seems like foolishness, and not enough is embarrassing. Find out what other people are doing. The magic formula is to give what’s expected, plus 10% more.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may not always project confidence, but it’s only because you feel like you should have to. You’ve given your best to the people around you. It’s up to them to value it. You shouldn’t have to convince those who don’t see it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can only come at a relationship from your own point of view, but you acknowledge that others think differently. People will be affected by your interest and moved that you care enough to ask how they see things.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are better and worse methods to the goal. You want to accomplish it in a way you can be proud of. That’s more important to you than doing it quickly or cheaply. You’ll follow through on the intention to excellent effect.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A foreign environment will be a part of your experience. Maybe you wouldn’t have predicted it landing there, but neither are you there by accident. It’s where your actions led. Whether you stay or go is also up to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To know the limits of your power, you’d have to push things, uncomfortably so, to find out how far you could take them before you lose control. That’s the boundary. How necessary is it to know where the boundary is?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 2). If there’s anything you take seriously, it’s the detrimental impact of too much seriousness. You make fun a priority, but also you often don’t have to because life just brings you cheery people, exciting scenarios and intriguing puzzles to delight you. More highlights: a family addition, a team trip and a heroic move. Gemini and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 38, 2, 22 and 16.
