Horoscope - November 8

The Scorpio sun and Libra moon put relationships up to a bit of examination. Being torn between light connections and the driving need for something more substantial will keep us revisiting what was said (and perhaps more importantly what was not said) in the name of friendship. Just don’t let all of this relationship review take up too much of your time.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Symbols that impress others don’t mean much to you. You’re the one most likely to get involved in an offbeat love affair now. Wanderlust strikes when work gets tedious. A long-awaited rescue arrives on the scene to help with the kids.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re on the way up, so practice learning and adjusting to new ideas. Professional camaraderie can be of great support. Get marketing tools together. You possess skills that are more valuable than your present paycheck.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be creative with your budget; you can have it all. If your love life has been rocky, now’s your chance to show that you can be flexible. Surprise visits from parents are likely. Be truthful when telling how things happened.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those who have been tired now feel entitled to rest and relaxation. Just because something makes you happy doesn’t mean it is selfish. Following your own bliss helps others, too. A Taurus introduces you to romantic hopefuls.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Imagination is the key. When you hit the right note, your work sells quickly. Pass on your wisdom to a child. If you go out tonight, you are hot on the scene, and will attract must interest. Let others pursue you. You’re a magnet of personal appeal.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (November 8). You’ve got to ask for what you want this year, and if you do, you’ll get it! New romance is met and explored over the next three weeks. You are so attractive this year that some of the choices you must make in relationships are both difficult and unexpected. Resolutions come true in January. Your best signs for love are Leo or Pisces. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 15, 24 and 10.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are a star at interviews. Even if you’re working now, it doesn’t hurt to check out the job market and be sure the position you are in is the best one for you. You’ve been trying too hard to gain someone’s affection.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Everything is working as it should – make this your mantra. Dedicate this week to finding new things to like and even admire about yourself. You have fielded some hard knocks, and it’s time to gather back your personal strength.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your inner life is as important as your outer life. Thoughts that arise during the day, ideas and dreams must all be given equal weight as the actions you take. For further spiritual growth, try meditation to soothe stress.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are inventive when you need to be. An idea is ripe and ready to present to the world, but cover yourself by applying for copyrights or patents if necessary. When goodwill comes full circle, accept your due.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Leisure is good for your heart and your productivity. Clear up matters early in the day, and you can enjoy a frivolous and fun afternoon. Saying "thank you" in reply to a compliment is a move toward greater abundance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll meet a fellow air sign (Libra or Gemini) after your own heart. Reevaluate old relationships in order to be more accepting and forgiving. Allegiances are particularly strong. Playing referee is a dangerous business tonight.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Nothing is out of your league – go for it! Though it is fantastic for your career, others may resent it when you receive preferential treatment. Review a current relationship carefully before making promises.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m a loser in love – not because I don’t have a guy, (I’ve had a lot of partners) but because I seem to always be with the wrong guy. I have no problem getting into a relationship, but I have a big problem getting out. I always feel like I should have known better, but I never learn. I was born on Aug. 4, 1974."

Your sun is in stand-out-of-the-crowd Leo, and your moon is in popularity-contest-winner Aquarius. This is not a loser combination, so don’t worry! You’re a strong personality, and it’s always harder for fixed signs (Leo and Aquarius are both solid, stubborn types) to find a one-to-one relationship that really suits their needs. Venus in Cancer gives you a deep longing for the emotional security of having your very own someone, and Mars in Virgo means you may find yourself drawn to people you can take care of (it also gives you the propensity to worry about whether you’ll ever be able to find happiness in love!). Write down what you absolutely want to avoid in a boyfriend, and also what qualities you require in a love relationship. Set priorities, and be prepared to compromise on small things; look for self-respect and consideration.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Actor Kevin Kline is a Scorpio who could have tremendous success this year while helping out a young filmmaker. Cutting edge is Scorpio’s middle name, and artists born under this sign are irresistibly drawn to anything that exposes the world for all of its good, bad and sometimes hard-to-swallow truths. The changing roles of women and men in society could be the subject of his exploration, which will be a hit.
