Stars -- Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Get to know a lot of different people. Your attention to etiquette will affect which opportunities you will be offered.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're likely to want something that is very unique and specific to you. So you'll be celebrated when you finally attain it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Whatever work you can do to get ready for life, take time to do it. When you are prepared, you'll have fun. If you can't, your improvisational skills will amaze you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You appreciate beauty so much that you cannot enjoy an ugly environment. That's why you will place yourself around loveliness or create it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What you do, you do for love. You're here to contribute to the world, not to take whatever you can get from it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll be impressed by a new influence and will want to gain its qualities. In order to do this, you'll be willing to give something up. See if you still feel the same way tomorrow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It will be challenging to follow all of the social rules your mother would follow, but confidence will come easily to you when you're sure you've done what is right and proper.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You respect your elders even when you don't agree with them. Avoiding an argument is more important to you than exerting your own ego.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your awareness of others will be tested. To pass this test, it's not enough to merely be observant. You must be empathic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can't gain one thing without losing something else. The trick is in deciding what is most valuable. You have a fantastic handle on that now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you feel that your patience is wearing thin, consider that there might be some humor in the situation that you've been missing. Lighten up and give it another look.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will feel like venturing out, though hopefully not too far, since it's likely that the thing you seek is right at home.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 7). You will be an agent for change. You'll share your insights in December and really make people think. Family respects you and delivers on your requests. There's a chance to double your income in June. Aquarius and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 36, 20, 14, 9 and 27
