• ARIES (March 21-April 19): Bury the hatchet before someone can use it. Correct past misunderstands or resolve current conflicts.
• TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Use soothing kindness early in the day to show a special someone how you really feel. A major purchase might not be necessary.
• GEMINI (May 21-June 20): More is not always merrier. Buying in bulk could seem like a bargain but ultimately could cost more if the excess is wasted.
• CANCER (June 21-July 22): Search for the deep wisdom in a problem or find humor in a dire situation. Surround yourself with plenty of friends and loved ones.
• LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be content with what you have. Call on family members if you are in need and someone will quickly rally to your aid.
• VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A minor financial windfall could slip through your fingers if you squander it. Make sure that you get the most value from your dollar.
• LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A sweeping gesture in one direction could create conflicts in another. Embracing extreme opinions could lead to a long-term feud.
• SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Realize that a conflict may be caused by emotional stress. Try to put your differences aside to achieve a mutual goal.
• SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can have too much of a good thing. Being too indulgent with simple pleasures can cause you to neglect other responsibilities.
• CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The best things in life aren't always free. Sometimes your inner child demands a day of foolish fun -- so, enjoy yourself today.
• AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you have nothing good to say about someone, then say nothing. Being in the right place at the right time could boost your morale.
• PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): As one door closes, another opens. Today's opportunity to do some social climbing can be used to your economic advantage.

IF NOVEMBER 7 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You possess vision and long-term planning skills that you can use to your advantage over the next several weeks. You are particularly adept at making a success of business projects or financial strategies. A vacation or fantasy-laden romantic interlude in January could warm the cockles of your heart -- but if a new relationship is involved, you would be wise to wait until March to make a final assessment. During March you will be wiser than usual about people and are sure to be successful with anything you initiate, if you follow your heart.
