You don’t like the idea of being “ordinary” in any way, and while the stars have bestowed upon you a great many traits and talents that do not seem to go together, that’s not different enough for you. You strive to be “different” in all you do -- though often in very subtle ways that make a huge differ- ence to those around you. In other words, you do and say things in small ways that make people stop in their tracks and consider care- fully what you could mean! SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1 SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Your understanding of a certain troubling situation is expanded today -- thanks to the involve- ment of a member of your inner circle.

A group effort surprises all involved. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone makes an offer that you would be tempted to accept but for the unusual situation you find yourself in today. Take a rain check! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’ll have the chance to make an early start today, and a project gets off the ground sooner than expected as a result. A rival sends a warning. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What you hear through the grapevine today must in no way throw you off of your game. You know a falsehood when you hear it, don’t you? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You can take an idea that is past its prime and turn it into something that others would pay handsomely for -- and may in the days to come.
