November 9: Your lookahead horoscope Love planet Venus and luck planet Jupiter are at odds on your birthday this year, so you need to be careful who you trust, not least with your money. You don't have to be overly suspicious but you do have to keep control of the purse strings - always. Don't try to control each and every aspect of your life - leave some things to chance. Do what feels right for you in the moment and, just as important, allow others to do what feels right for them too. Lighten up, it's life. What starts out as good news first thing this week may look like bad news later in the week but try not to get worked up about it. Things change and all you can do is change with them. What changes later in the week will delight you. Knowing what you don't want to do can be every bit as valuable as knowing what you do want to do, especially if it helps you make some kind of choice. Just be aware this week that you don't have to make that choice immediately. Be generous with someone who isn't always so generous to you. It will do you good to treat this person well no matter what problems they may have caused you in the past. Forgiveness cures all ills, both real and imagined. Don't waste time lamenting the chances you have wasted - they are now in the past and should be forgotten. What matters now is that you resolve to take advantage of the next opportunity which comes your way. Here it comes now. A situation you thought you had under control is turning out to be more complicated than you anticipated. Be that as it may, in the greater scheme of things it is of only minor importance, so don't let it wind you up. Relax - and smile more too. Don't take risks with money this week as the planets warn you could quite easily mislead yourself into thinking that your financial position is stronger than it actually is. Keep your cash in your pocket. You may want to tell people what you are up to and what you expect to achieve but the planets suggest you would be wise to keep it to yourself for a few more days. You don't want their negative reactions to disappoint you. You have made more than enough excuses for a friend or colleague whose behaviour has been, to say the least, questionable. Let them know that the next time they make a major error of judgment they are on their own - and mean it. Several surprises lie in store for you over the next few days. Don't pretend to be shocked if a friend or family member acts in ways you consider to be outrageous - you should know from past experience that they like to provoke a reaction. You know there is something missing from your life but you are having trouble discovering exactly what it is. Maybe you should revisit beliefs that you rejected as being "old-fashioned." Maybe there is something to them after all. Don't let a minor falling out spoil what should be an exciting week. Whatever your differences with a friend or loved one may be you can overcome them, or at least ignore them. You're having too much fun to take life too seriously.
