Your daily horoscope: November 10

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

There will be times this year when you are expected to lead and times when you are expected to follow. So long as you don’t get them mixed up you will accomplish a great deal, more perhaps than even you thought was possible.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You need to get out of the habit of trying to do everything on your own. Yes, of course, that way you have no one but yourself to answer to but you also limit your options. It will pay you to be a touch less independent today.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

You may be under a huge amount of pressure at the moment but there are ways you can make life easier for yourself. The best way of all is to not take events so seriously. Find a reason to laugh, or at least smile, every hour of the day.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

As Mercury, your ruler, is at odds with Saturn today there will be certain duties you have to fulfill but that does not mean you have to put other people’s desires ahead of your own. Look in the mirror. See that face? That’s the face that matters most.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You will have to make at least one and maybe several major sacrifices over the next 24 hours but it will be worth it in the long term. Channel your excess energy, of which you have plenty, into helping loved ones make the most of their talents.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Stand back from your everyday cares and see life from a wider perspective. You may have suffered a few setbacks of late but in the greater scheme of things you are still the winner you always were. You’ve actually got precious little to worry about.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

If you don’t feel in the mood to push yourself harder today then don’t. According to the planets this is the ideal time to take your foot off the accelerator and take life at a more sedate pace, at least for a while. Go slow for a change.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Your main task now is to balance your desire for money and possessions with your need for romance and adventure. Divide the day into two-hour periods and alternate the serious stuff with the fun stuff. Yes, you CAN have it all, if you are smart.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Try not to be so much of a perfectionist today. The more you strive to get things exactly the way you want them to be the more frustrated you will get. Life isn’t perfect nor is it supposed to be. It’s your imperfections that make you so attractive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

There are times when it is right to rock the boat and times when it is right to keep the peace and this is one of the latter. Disconnect your mind and emotions from what is going on around you in the world. That way you’ll be more serene.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You don’t need to be desperate to make an impression. The planets indicate you are more likely to grab the attention of important people if you stay calm and take what you are working on a step at a time. You’re a professional, not a primadonna.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

The most important thing now is that you invest the bulk of your time and energy in a project you can believe in. You don’t care for awards and applause, you are driven to make the world a better place for everyone to live in.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

You may want to do something out of the ordinary today but as mind planet Mercury is currently at odds with Saturn you would be wise to take it a step at a time. Make sure your enthusiasm is matched by common sense and caution.
