Born on

November 18

A Sun-Pluto combine may encourage you to make your mark as a fearless and courageous person. You will mean business. Your stars compel you to adopt an adventurous outlook. Impulsive tendencies do not figure anywhere in your scheme of things.

You may regret it if you put many irons in the fire. If in service, extreme care is needed to handle secret information. All work and no relief could wear you out, especially after March.

November 19

With moon in the house of finance, your financial stars are excessively powerful. The people who refuse to accept you as a person of high calibre will have to revise their opinion. Even at home your writ may rule supreme.

You should not strive to acquire something which is beyond your reach. Legal matters are likely to be settled with a minimum of fuss during March-April. Be cautious while travelling during odd hours. Try to decrease professional strain as far as possible during June-July. An old associate may turn up suddenly during the last phase.

November 20

An exalted Mars is a force to reckon with. It bestows upon you the energy to cash in on any opportunity that comes your way. You will soon be hitting a social high. The contacts you develop now can prove a shot in your arm. Don’t let friends sway you from the path you have chosen.

A great hustle and bustle lies ahead during the first quarter. Your associates will offer unconditional support during the second. You will travel to a place of your choice during the third. Be wary of strangers during the last one.

November 21

A combust Mercury may shake your faith in yourself. You will put in enormous efforts to vindicate a cause close to your heart. A modest attempt in this direction will not be fruitful.

A little care and self-control is needed during the first quarter. You should be practical and desist from aiming for the moon during the second. There is no option you can confidently bank upon during the third. Expect good luck to visit you during the last one.

November 22

A retrograde Jupiter may cause some irritation to you. A clash of personalities that has dragged you down could raise its head again. The reality is that there is no option that you can safely bank upon. It will be a miracle if you do not commit mistakes.

A little extra care and self-control is the need of the hour. You may feel more emotional from April onwards. Reality should attract you more during the last phase.

November 23

Your social, financial and romantic stars are taking a turn for the better. Stimulating, splendid and soothing planets are likely to bless you. This helps you overcome your shyness and become more assertive.

The areas where you are likely to succeed are education, legal matters, welfare of children and social interaction.

November 24

A retrograde Saturn may prompt you to opt for a risky venture. Anything that is done without measuring the pros and cons properly can backfire. Your grasp of facts could mislead you. You could also do something which may reek of bad behaviour.

Remember that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. You should not believe rumours. You must verify the facts before you accept them.
