Thursday, November 2

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may be desire-driven today, thinking with your heart rather than your head. Fortunately any mistakes you make are likely to be minor and easily corrected, but it would be wise to slow down the pace.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
If you are out of your depth, ask for assistance. You may be on a mission to succeed and while good outcomes are forecast, results will come quicker if you share the load and split the profits.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You will be more inclined to hedge your bets than come down on either side of an argument. And in a drastic departure from your usual modus operandi, you are likely to respond passionately rather than rationally.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
The Moon teaches you how to tap into inner resources and secure a better deal for yourself at home or work. Just be wary of people playing power games and make the most of your limited opportunities.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You may offer unsolicited advice, but only in situations where others frustrate you. Try to treat people as you wish to be treated today, particular those who are not in your league. Give and take is important.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Hide your insecurities and project a positive image to the world. Dynamic forces in the communicative sectors of your horoscope could bring you into contact with inspirational people and a good first impression is vital.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Stick to your beliefs, despite resistance or scepticism from others. The planets favour self-reliance and rather than seeking support or sanction from loved ones, you should simply proceed with an idea and follow your instincts.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Your charm and curiosity allow you to probe into other people's business without causing offence. There may also be a satisfying conclusion to an enduring issue or you will invest time and money in an exciting project.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
A belated apology might be given or received and the past can then be put to rest. Your confidence in others and your own abilities looks set to soar, but not before loose ends are tied up.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
When confronted with a personal problem, cast your mind back to a similar situation and draw on past experience. Lessons learned can be put to good use, particularly at home and in affairs of the heart.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
If a recent setback sapped your spirit, you should look for ways to recharge. A change of scene would be ideal, but if movement is restricted you could always settle for a relaxing or artistic activity.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You may be ready to sign off on a promise when a last-minute glitch causes delay. Proceed with caution but make a determined effort to meet your obligations. Patience and perseverance will eventually pay dividends.

YOUR DAY
Some people will carry the weight of expectation while others happily thumb their noses. Sun and Moon in water signs suggest polar opposite responses, depending on individual personalities and the prevailing mood. Finding the right balance could be the secret to success in this all-or-nothing day.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
The good times in one area of life continue, while the challenges in another persist. Fortune favours the brave in upcoming months and by taking risks, the rewards will be richer. An opportunity to travel may arise and lasting friendships are likely to be forged.
