Horoscopes By Holiday, November 14

The Scorpio sun loves to bring our subconscious yearnings into the light of reality so that we may fully recognize them and make a conscious decision about what to do next. Remember who you are, and move toward who you want be. The sun and Uranus are in a favorable position, splashing some lucky surprises on this eye-opening day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). From the moment of your awakening, Lady Fortune has been smiling on you. This is your day. That chance you've been waiting to take? Now is the time. Get a running leap at it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It's no surprise that you are so well-liked. You know just the thing to say to someone to make him or her feel good. Your uncanny ability to sense what others want to hear will be demonstrated.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll be running on all cylinders. Don't forget that taking time out for yourself is part of moving forward. It's likely that you'll do your best thinking in the bathtub.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are experiencing a momentary sense of uncertainty about where you are headed and why. Pull over for a second and check in with your goals. Minor adjustments are all that's necessary to get you back on track.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You never thought you'd make it, but here you are. The trial is shrinking in the distance behind you, and that light you've been looking for is closer than ever. Just a little farther now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll be making plans to invest in your dreams. It will feel scary — then again, you've done plenty of scary things in your life already. You're getting used to housing butterflies in your stomach.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You put out a healing vibration. Those who are in quiet pain, psychic or otherwise, will gravitate toward you. Although, it's likely you won't even realize when someone is made well by the energy you emit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Drink plenty of water — you'll be sweating a bit. The stress you feel is well-founded. You have a lot of responsibilities to meet and expectations to live up to. But you won't get overwhelmed, because you know how to prioritize.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You're so gregarious. You're likely to attract shy or silent types who need help expressing themselves. They will gravitate toward you because your way of dealing with things invites them to do the same.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Everyone is quirky and magical in some way, though this week your quirks are more obvious than other people's.

They act up, shout out, lean in — and endear others to you in the process. You'll gain a fan or two.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A challenge at home has you looking in an unusual place for answers. You were right to shift your approach. You'll find what you seek, and afterward, you'll have another great tool in your problem-solving toolbox.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A growing sense of contentment has been creeping up on you. You will have a newfound awareness of the necessary order of things. This will bring a welcome peace to you and those around you.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 14). You've always had strong feelings and keen intuition. You'll apply them differently this year, and your passion will carry you to new heights. You'll be spotlighted in a positive way in December and with lucrative results. An investment pays in March. Your love life takes an exciting turn in May. Gemini and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 23, 39, 1, 40 and 37.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Whenever you talk about Cancer, you mention domestic things, too, like cooking and decorating and entertaining at home. Well, I'm a Cancer, and I don't do any of those things. I'm a terrible cook who eats mostly frozen microwaveable dinners. I can't decorate, and if I had to throw a party at my house, I'd probably be so sick with fear that I'd wind up in the hospital. Why am I so lame at the things my sign is supposed to be great at?"

I'm going to suggest to you that your adamant resistance of all things domestic may be a sign of hidden proficiency. If a matter has a lot of energy around it for us, it can be expressed in a variety of ways. Joy Behar, famed comedienne and co-host of "The View," once expressed that before she decided to pursue comedy, she would get sick to her stomach every time she drove past a comedy venue. Part of her realized that she had a powerful talent, but in those early days, she wasn't yet ready to dive in and accept her hugely successful destiny. I challenge you to dip your toe into this area of life and see whether you have a talent you've been holding back.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Once upon a time, a friend of mine had a high-school crush on a boy in marching band. She and he would hang out and dream of the future. Each wanted fame and had a running bet about who would be on the David Letterman show first. The boy was Jimmy Kimmel, and he not only won the bet, he won the time slot that Letterman once occupied. Scorpios are powerful dreamers!
