Horoscopes: Thursday, November 16, 2017

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You sense how your loved ones are feeling and cater to that emotional state. For people who have you in their lives, that pretty much comes with the package. Not everyone you know will be so emotionally intelligent today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It's only natural to want to be near the person who makes you feel good about yourself. Those who make it all about themselves are repellent to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The situation may seem to call for a reaction, but there's a benefit to being slow to react. This is one of those times when you might do nothing at all and the problem solves itself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If anyone can de-escalate the tension and purge the atmosphere of negative vibes, it's you. Mostly this is done by changing the subject.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Poke into your fears. Whatever you do to face them, deal with them - it will make your life better. That's as long as you're not ignoring fear.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). This is not a good day to share the details of a relationship. You may come to forgive some transgressions that others won't, and in that case you'll be glad you kept them to yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just because something is socially acceptable doesn't make it right. You'll notice an injustice and work to make things better.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you want to say no, just say it and be quick about it. Saying maybe (when you mean no) will hang you and the other person in an uncomfortable limbo.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There's far too much work to get it all done in a day, but if you start early you'll have a fighting chance. The morning hours show you energetic, and with a determined gleam in your eye.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Tidiness will lead to happiness. The success key today could be as simple as cleaning up some part of your life that's gotten out of hand. This kind of effort may very well change everything.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Although you're very likely to take other people's needs and wants into consideration before you make your move, you are also aware that ultimately they are not the ones who have to live with the consequences.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're confident in your knowledge, yet you're also well aware that there are many other truths and ways. Your open mind will serve you well and net you more friends and supporters than one with a more rigid mindset.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 16). You're growing in power and will be surrounded by people who can handle that instead of be threatened by it. The next 10 weeks introduce new plans and people to your life. A problem that affects your family will finally be solved at the start of 2018. A quest will begin in March. Aquarius and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 40, 2, 20 and 18.
