November 3: Your daily horoscope

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

Your mind will move fast over the coming 12 months and you'll be way ahead of the curve when it comes to new methods and new ways to make your talents pay. It's not a crime to make money. It's a crime not to.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Your confidence may be sky high but don't fall into the trap of thinking that you cannot possibly fail – that's asking for trouble. Be bold by all means but be aware of what's going on around you too.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Anyone who tries to tell you that you owe them your time, or even your money, is not to be trusted. Real friends would never make that kind of demand, and certainly not in such an obviously self-serving way.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

There are things going on behind the scenes that you cannot possibly know about, so don't jump to conclusions and don't jump on someone's back just because they refuse to see things your way. They may know more than you do.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

The more other people say you can trust them today the more you should be on your guard. It is unlikely they are trying to deliberately mislead you but the planets warn they are not in control of events, and neither are you.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If opportunity comes knocking today you must grab it with both hands. You may hope that an even better offer will arrive if you wait a few days, and maybe it will, but what happens if it does not?

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Today's cosmic picture is designed to make you realize that you are long past the point where what you get out of a partnership of some kind makes up for what you put in. Time to start thinking about an exit strategy.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You might be tempted to kick up a fuss if someone lets you down today, but is it really worth the effort? Strive to stay serene no matter how difficult life gets – and you may find it's not so difficult after all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Avoid the temptation to point out a colleague's mistakes today because they won't take kindly to you making them look bad. If you must say something at least say it in private. They'll thank you for it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You will do okay if you have a specific aim in mind and a plan that will get you from here to there by the shortest route. That may not be the Sagittarius way but it's the smart way, at least for today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You may be tempted to tell someone what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear but that would be a mistake. Sometimes it is best to get bad news over with quickly rather than letting it drag on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

If you try too hard to make a good impression today you may end up doing the opposite and turning important people against you. Do what you do and do it well but don't make a fuss about it.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Uranus, planet of changes, warns you must not take chances with money, so make sure you know exactly what is coming in and make doubly sure to keep track of what is going out. Don't throw your cash away.
