Your daily horoscope: November 18

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

If you limit yourself to one particular aim over the coming year you won’t accomplish half as much as you could have. At the very least you need to have two major projects on the go at the same time. That way you’re less likely to get bored.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

You seem to have got the wrong end of the stick where an affair of the heart is concerned and need to recognize that you are mainly to blame for the current emotional misunderstanding. It’s no big deal, just say “sorry” and move on together.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

You know what you are doing and why but do other people? The message of the stars as the new week begins is that you need to explain yourself better, especially when it comes to matters that could be important to you financially.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

You must demand to know the truth today, even if you fear you won’t be entirely happy with what loved ones have to tell you. If you are going to resolve a long-running partnership issue there has to be honesty in both directions.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You may be eager to get into the week and get things done but if you are smart you will take time out today to sit quietly and count your many blessings. You have so much to be thankful for and so much to look forward to.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

When dealing with people who don’t think as fast as you – and that’s just about everyone – you could get a little frustrated. Remind yourself that it takes all kinds to make a world and that if they were not so slow you would not be so special.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Try not to rush into a situation you don’t know much about today. The planets warn if you are overly eager you could get in so deep that you cannot get out again. Just because everyone else is behaving erratically does not mean you have to as well.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Although you would prefer to take a no-nonsense approach with those you deal with both at home and at work you can sense that probably isn’t the best idea. If you come on too strong today you could soon be mopping up tears!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Don’t be too eager to start something new. As the sun nears the end of its journey through your sign you would be wise to make a big push to finish those things you have already begun. There will be plenty of time for new stuff later on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

You want to be sociable but some of your friends won’t be in the mood for getting out and about and having a good time. That’s okay though as it’s obvious they need their quiet time. You will make plenty of noise for them!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

It’s unusual for your emotions to be this erratic but you are not the only one who is troubled by what’s going on in the world, so get together with people who share your outlook on life and find ways to lighten things up a little.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

There is no point trying to get along with everyone because some people seem determined to make life difficult for you. Identify who those people are and put as much distance between you and them as you can without being obviously rude.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

You need to accept that no matter how good you may be at certain tasks there will always be someone who is quicker and better. No one expects you to be top dog every minute of every day, so don’t expect it of yourself.
