Horoscopes: Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Mistakes are the best teachers, with lessons swift and deep. When you believe wholeheartedly that it’s OK to make mistakes, it frees you from needing much assurance from others as you move toward your bliss.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). History will be like a purse you can root around in. You’ll find useful information and lenses that broaden, sharpen or color the way you see your world. Just remember, purses are useful to hold things, not to live in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If there was a promise of success to cover all endeavors, projects, investments and relationships, joy would dwindle for all who possessed it. It’s the risk that makes things worthwhile. Without risk, there is no surge of joy to be had.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s all about the company today. When you’re with people who are uplifting and fun to be around, lovely environments become dreamy and the less-than-ideal scenes provide fodder for amusement and bonding.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Throw out the list of things you are supposed to do and wing it instead. You’ll probably accomplish everything from the list and more — and yet your approach will be free and fun loving.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Since you will go deeper into your state of mind, if it’s not a positive one, reset yourself early while you still can. Focus your thoughts so they sing what matters in the tone that will be a pleasure to continue.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve inherited family, landed near neighbors, and assimilated into schools and workplaces. Of your numerous and varied relationships, very few were specifically chosen by you. You’ll get to choose today though, which you’ll do, happily … deliberately.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your routine isn’t supporting you as it could be. It seems there’s time to do the work you must do, but little time to explore. It’s the extras that bring about your highest level of creativity and vitality. Prioritize them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You avoid wasting money. Is dining out or vacationing a waste? What will you have to show for it in the end? The answers surprise you. Experiences will stick with you long after the value of material goods has diminished.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As the leader of a group, you think about what will be best for your people, and sometimes what’s best is taking a break from leading them. Learning how to occasionally operate independent of your direction will strengthen the group.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are two reasons to cross a goal off your list — because it’s accomplished or because it’s not compelling enough to move you to action. Make your goals earn their place. When you trim the list, you make room for new options.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re physically strong and the odds are with you for exceeding prior performance and/or winning at sports. Exercise will give you an energetic boost that’s better than anything you could buy in a bottle.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 22). You won’t need P.R. because your excellent character does the work for you. Your humility and grace in success will be as remarkable as your achievements themselves. More highlights: A reordering of priorities gives your day-to-day a sweet flow. You’ll spoil and be spoiled by acts of kindness and adoration. You’ll execute a business idea — money in the bank. Libra and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 14, 9, 33 and 1.
