Horoscope - November 11

Scorpio’s influences keep building the mysteries that attract people to one another. New relationships take focus, leading us into previously undiscovered worlds. A conjunction of Venus and Pluto is likely to bring dangerous individuals into the scene that you may really be drawn toward. The wiser part of you knows to avoid sticky situations.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Let your personality shine as it opens doors previously closed to you. Disregard romantic rumors. Let a friend talk you into taking a short vacation. Some rest will revive your whole body and mind. Don’t break that piggy bank until it’s full.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Surprises enhance creativity. Emulate people who have the jobs you want. A callous friend is not worth your friendship. Saying "no" to someone takes courage and may be difficult, but it is definitely the right thing to do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are influential and savvy. Massive budget cuts at work have you worried, but you will not be affected. Socialize with business associates, though you don’t see the benefit yet. Return telephone calls. Give in to your sweet tooth.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Hasty decisions seem rash but are well thought out. Stifle the temptation to settle for short-term gains. If you leave your present job, you will be bombarded with offers. A Leo involves you in a weird scenario.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Take steps to move into a more satisfying career. Artists finally get some much-needed encouragement. Referrals are gladly given to you. Forget your love life, and it will magically improve. Single parents must find child-care facilities quickly.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (November 11). Your skills are carefully honed – just in time to catch the December limelight. Give your imagination plenty of attention in January when your best ideas can lead to money. Marriage is possible in June or August. Your best signs for love are Pisces and Cancer. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 30, 2, 8 and 12.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t be coerced into endorsing ideas that you do not believe in. You earn money by doing work for a relative or neighbor. Your love relationship is successful with relocation or a change in the domestic situation. Phone calls are steamy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Do not conform to the expectations of others, as they will be delighted in the end when you do things your way. Your good-natured charm melts the heart of a potential new love. Attend parties. Couples find that absence improves romance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Outlandish suggestions are not as crazy as they seem; keep an open mind. Unsettled disputes could stall you in what you wanted to accomplish. Romance becomes serious and could be leading to marriage.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A career decision affects your finances. If you register a complaint; you affect an important change. You may answer the call of the road. The ideal romantic partners is someone who is already in your life. Look closely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Focus on personal goals as well as educational or career aspirations. A talent is becoming more lucrative as you invest more time into it. Differences in sensibility are not substantial enough to keep you and a loved interest apart.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Getting your life in order is an act of sheer logic – schedule your time wisely and you’ll become more efficient. If you’re not in charge of a domestic project, someone else will take over. Support a friend’s success.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Financial options expand; money matters are associated with relatives or a new job. What may seem like a lot of work now is even more work late. Be sure to call and thank friends for invitations, gifts and special considerations.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m in college, and I can’t seem to make any friends here, even though I had good friends back at home. My birthday is on Aug. 31, 1979. I’m older than some of my classmates because I waited and took a few years off from school. I feel like everyone is so immature, but I still want them as friends. Will people here ever accept me?"

Moving away from old friends and your familiar routine is difficult and can bring out feelings of isolation in almost everyone. Nothing in your chart suggests that you are incapable of making friends, quite the contrary. Give yourself time to get acclimated to your new surroundings, and I think things will begin to chance for you. Indulge your Virgo sun and check out any organizations or clubs on campus. This is a great way to meet new people who have similar interests as your own. A new romance is featured for you when you come back from the holiday break in January! This person is likely an air sign (Libra, Gemini, Aquarius) who has a lot of friends that will quickly become yours too!

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Solo artist Natalie Merchant has the magnetic appeal Scorpio artists are famous for. This sign attracts an audience with the ability to lull and intrigue them. Intuition is one of the star’s gifts to Scorpio Sun/Cancer moon children, and Merchant will make split-second decisions this year based on intuition that will favorably affect the rest of her life. Her Cancer moon is also a natural placement for motherhood and her chart suggests she could have up to five children!
