Horoscope: Nov. 4

Aries (March 21-April 19): You are sensitive to the needs of your loved ones and will take care of as many of their wants as you can without hesitation or complaint.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): When the road ahead looks uncertain, you’ll take control and do the right thing. All will go well as long as others are willing to defer to your good judgment.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ll be in an unusually competitive mood. You’ll make a sale or be the clear winner of a game. Hopefully, others won’t get too jealous.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You like to be needed, but you know that it’s unhealthy to foster co-dependency. Help loved ones test their skills so they’ll know if they are ready for independence.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re a truly wonderful conversationalist, asking compelling questions that don’t put anyone on the spot.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When you see others doing something different with great results, you may be tempted to hop off your course. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll be wondering which way to go. The two options available are equally appealing. Why not flip a coin?

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You are excited about what you’re doing, and this enthusiasm will take you far.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your style of work is netting terrific results. You may need a break, but don’t delegate tasks to others unless they agree to do things exactly as you would.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You don’t want to ruffle anyone’s feathers. But when you feel you can lead conversations that challenge and excite others, do it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Life may have put distance between you and some of the people you love, but when you finally do connect, the miles won’t matter.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): People appear tougher than they really are. Most people need tenderness, and few are strong enough to consistently give that.

Today’s birthday (Nov. 4): People are pleased with your contributions to their lives. Allow yourself to be celebrated. This month brings lovely, fulfilling leisure time. Stellar opportunities come in December — partner up and work hard. Follow romantic notions in March. May is lucrative. Sagittarius and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 1, 25, 41, 28 and 49.
