Horoscope: Nov. 18

Aries (March 21-April 19): Venting may make you feel better temporarily because you’re no longer holding your opinions and frustration inside. Spend your energy on creating solutions.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ll be stepping up your professional game. Instead of waiting for others to assess your work, objectively assess it yourself.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Though there are amazing talents in the world, be careful not to put too much stock in the greatness of others.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ll once again be asked to lead the group. If a person is not inclined toward a task or is not so good at it, assign something to this person that he or she would enjoy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your way may not bring better results, but it will bring a result that has “you” written all over it.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your competitive instincts are turned up. You’ll dress, talk and walk like someone on a mission to win.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can be a steadfast tower of strength and reliability, but right now follow your whims, seize the moment and do your own thing.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today you can back off a bit on your requirements of yourself and even more so where children and family are concerned.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll polish your skill set, homing in on the things you do that could use improvement.

Today’s birthday (Nov. 18): In December and June, travel increases your worldly knowledge. Invest in yourself in January. You’ll turn an impressive profit in February. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 33, 19 and 50.
