HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Nov 21, 2016: This year you make waves wherever you go. Others can’t help but notice your charm, energy and intelligence. You tend to keep personal situations quiet, at least until you are sure of yourself. If you are single, your love of adventure might help you narrow down the choice of potential sweeties. A friendship will play a key role in your love life. If you are attached, the two of you need to develop a mutually enjoyed hobby that you can get involved in. Socialising as a couple also could mean a lot to you. VIRGO’s fussiness might be a turn-off.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You might feel tense, no matter which way you turn. Focus on clearing out some paperwork or emails. A discussion in the morning is likely to be successful. By the afternoon, you will relax and see a situation in a new light. Tonight: Don’t play games in your head.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): One-on-one relating will provide more details than you have received up till now. Use your creativity to elicit the response you desire. Your imagination could be causing you to be unrealistic about what you want. Try out some ideas on a friend. Tonight: Dinner for two.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You seem to enter a period where others are being challenging. Try to understand where they are coming from. How you handle their energy will define your relationships. Your creativity emerges when dealing with a situation structured around authority. Tonight: Don’t be fussy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Have an important conversation with someone who affects your day to day life. You might feel tense if you try to change the mood too quickly. Hang out with this person in a neutral space. An element of confusion could run through this situation. Tonight: Make plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22): Pay attention to a money matter that dominates part of your day. An associate’s solution might be vague, so get the facts yourself. Other matters will flow effortlessly once you handle the issue at hand. Someone around you finds you very appealing. Tonight: Be more open.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): You might be dragging a bit in the morning. Once you get going, though, you will feel more peaceful and energised. Network, make calls and handle whatever requires your attention. Everything will go well if you clarify a confusing comment. Tonight: You call the shots.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): You might prefer to lie low and screen your calls. You could be handling a personal matter which you don’t want to go any further. Keep your own counsel as you evaluate the various pros and cons. You probably will come to a conclusion soon. Tonight: Not to be found.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21): You could be in a situation where your preference might be to stay mum. Listen to others’ opinions. You will get feedback and gain more understanding of a person in your immediate environment. Eye a financial offer with scepticism. Tonight: Where fun happens naturally.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): The Sun moves into your sign today, adding that extra punch needed to complete a project or get past a problem. Your sense of humor draws others into what seems to be a confusing matter. Know that a haze exists, but that it is temporary. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Focus on what feels right to you as opposed to what is possible. You have a very sound sense of what the right thing to do is. Kick back and take in a more complete perspective than you have in a while. Remain upbeat and positive. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Get down to basics when having a discussion with a loved one. Remember that there is a tendency for people to unknowingly distort information. A friendship will be increasing in importance to you in the next few weeks. Tonight: Share news with a favourite person.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20): Your energy will be high in the morning, which is fortunate, as others seem to need you the most at that time. Other demands come in from an authority figure or an older relative. Prioritise your to-do list, and you will know exactly what to do. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil.
