YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you are neither realistic nor
idealistic in your overall outlook on life. You
prefer to develop and maintain a philosophi-
cal viewpoint that is at once neutral and flex-
ible, so that you can vary and adjust your
thinking to suit whatever situation you, or
someone else, might be in at any given
moment. There are times in which you may
be pragmatic to a fault, forsaking a project
that promises long-term benefits and gains
simply because of initial, short-term hardship
or loss.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Do you
have the time it will take to accomplish all
that you have on the docket? A little quick
thinking will enable you to get it all done.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You
shouldn’t receive any negative comments on a
project recently completed -- but what you’re
101 Legal Notices
working on now may attract some criticism.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You
must follow the rules today, but you can do so
in a manner that doesn’t cramp your style.
You’ll have more freedom than expected.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Problems
can be solved one right after the other today,
but you must prioritize. Get things in the
wrong order and complications may ensue.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You may
not be making things as easy as possible for
yourself today. Take a leaf out of someone
else’s book and enjoy some smooth sailing.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- What you
see ahead of you may be somewhat daunting,
but you have what it takes to tackle it effec-
tively and with a great deal of style, too.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It may be
up to you today to reach out to someone who
has taken a situation far too personally.
Explain yourself simply and honestly.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You are the
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2022
only person who can determine if your
motives are pure at this time, and whether or
not they are will surely have a major impact.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are fully
aware of someone’s potential, and you realize
that if you work together you can accomplish
anything. Suggest this today.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Putting one foot
in front of the other gets you where you want
to go today, but it may prove tricky to make
your way back again. Take your time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You mustn’t
let anything slip by unnoticed today. Not
everything is worth further examination, but
you mustn’t take chances right now.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Are you hold-
ing a grudge? If it’s not that, then something
else is keeping you from doing what you
know to be right. You must figure it out.
