Your Horoscope for November 2017
By Stacey Lynn
improve your image or increase popularity. Go for it!
This is the month of
abundance. Things go
smoother even though
your emotions may go off
the rails a bit. Breathe.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18) Goals are quite
grand and demands are pretty steep. A chance of a joint
achievement or your partner reaches success. Connec-
tions help you to succeed. Personal charm, talent, and
creativity propel you forward. Hard work makes it all
happen. If your mind gets tired, rest it. Meditation may
be the key.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) You may feel like
the happiest person on the planet! The stars are on your
side so search your heart for what you desire and go for
it. At work there are opportunities and the stars provide
circumstances that attract success. Avoid excesses and
risks. There is potential for head injuries.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 20) Usually in-
dependent, but for now you have a need for together-
ness, cooperation, and understanding. You may feel the
need to analyze your career to see if it is on track. Your
body isn’t that strong right now. Rest, relax and exer-
cise more control over yourself. Read, meditate, and
create.
Capricorn (December 21-January 19) Amorous op-
portunities are connected to a social function. Mean-
while, Mars may be making waves for you at work.
Set high, honorable objectives and fight fair. Money
may come in an unexpected way. Now is the time to
Aries (March 21-April 19) Direct your focus in mat-
ters of the heart. Energy put in that direction will bring
about good to great results. A lucky month for money.
You may find collaborations will bring about financial
gains. Stay clear of rushing and avoid excesses. Begin a
workout or find ways to expend nervous energies.
Leo (July 22-August 21) Take on something excit-
ing, but don’t lose your head. It’s good time for buy-
ing or renting - possibly invest in art or antiques. You
may find the need to stand up for something or debate.
Stress may bring irritability and impatience so relax, let
go, throw a family gathering!
Taurus (April 20-May 21) A lucky time for love or
marriage but it is up to you what you make of it. Feel
free to be more daring or determined. Work is busy this
DM

Virgo (August 22-September 21) Do not mix money
and love. Other than that, everything is good. Travel
and talking leads to joy. Look more
deeply so you know you have the whole
picture. Get active this month. Use your
brains and persuasiveness for they are at
their best! Avoid over doing it around the
holiday.

call Kim
Gemini (May 22-June 21) You may be on the
hunt and a relationship at work has potential. If
not, you may be looking for emotional fulfillment.
Work collaborations are significant and may be a
pleasure. Pursuits related to health end success-
fully. You may find solutions to old issues. Orga-
nize your home and plan on a successful holiday.
Cancer (June 22-July 21) Favorable time for dating,
starting a love story or a wild memorable evening.
Things could be exotic and thrilling, but know fertil-
ity is also in the air. Money comes from intense efforts
mixed with luck. Workout and travel! Enjoy the mo-
ments you experience wholeheartedly.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) Some challenges at
month’s end, but love can be found in travel and in the
mind. There are decisions to be made. Activity with
money can enhance income, but only if no risks are
taken. Relax mentally. Study something that interests
you but seemed too difficult to manage before. Have
fun!

Libra (September 22-October 22) Look
around more carefully in order to see the
signals being sent your way. Work is pro-
ductive and you are ambitious and com-
petitive. You may make more money, but
you are in a spending mood as well. High
energy needs an outlet. Go to the gym,
dance, celebrate, but don’t over do it.
