Today's Birthday (11/20/11). For your birthday, consider coming up with a set of three goals you'd like to realize this year. Give it a moment of quiet contemplation, and really consider birthday wishes for love, career and for contribution. Why not have them all?
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 7 -- A lazy Sunday would be delightful today, with quiet time reading, taking a walk with friends or puttering around. Any time spent organizing will pay off later.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 9 -- Stressing about it is not going to make a difference. Get grounded with the help of a friend, or just put some play into it. Make more time for love.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Slow and steady does it. A quiet day suits you just fine today, with familiar routines and extra time for yourself. A long walk or relaxing meal caps it off.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 7 -- No time for flirting, or for overspending. Consider your options. Don't give up. Get expert help if you need. If you stumble, get up again.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Double-check your calculations to save a pretty penny. Not everything goes according to plan (especially in affairs of the heart), but things work out in the end.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Your brilliance shines on discouraging clouds. You could turn the storm into a double rainbow, all the way across the sky. It's how you look at it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- You're ready to make changes for the better, and later today it will be easier. You have the power. What will you create? There may be a mess involved.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- Relax at home with family or friends. Ask for help to make a choice about a household matter that's had you stuck. Contemplation, planning and rest fit the bill.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Bookwork interferes with socializing and daydreaming. Resist temptation, and postpone partying until later today. Be patient and stick to it. It pays off.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 7 -- You may have to keep trying different options today, as the balance continuously shifts. Postpone gratification. Reconsider an idea or strategy that isn't working.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 6 -- You can make loads of lemonade now. Look for opportunities to turn sticky challenges into tart deliciousness. And make money in the process.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Talk it over with the one you love. Clear up any misunderstandings. Confess your fears to see beyond them. Share your wild theories. Don't be talked out of trying.
