Happy Birthday for Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025:
You are organized, clever and purposeful. You set high standards for yourself. This is a year of change that will bring you increased freedom. Be flexible. Let go of whatever has been holding you back. Seek out new opportunities and be ready to act fast. Expect to travel.
ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★★★
You’re eager to explore new ideas today. One great option will be to look into the past for information you want, because Mercury retrograde will help you. You might learn from history. Likewise, you might be interested in making travel plans. If so, choose places you’ve been before. Tonight: Get organized.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★
Disputes about shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances might arise today, especially if you’re rehashing old business. You are clever and skilled at defending your financial welfare. So, no worries there. Be diplomatic with others. Tonight: Good times.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Discussions with partners, spouses and close friends will be lively today. Possibly, you’ll be pushed into a defensive position. (Or the reverse.) Either way, go gently. Focus on being productive, especially because working with others will be mutually beneficial. Tonight: Relax.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★★
You’re ambitious to accomplish a lot today, which is why this will be a work hard-party hard day. Oh yes, you want to socialize, especially because romantic vibes are so promising. Be careful about working so hard that you shame others. They’re not as motivated as you. Tonight: Talk to others.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★
Parents should be gentle with their kids today – no matter what age – because it’s easy to be strident and bossy, especially when dealing with a past issue that has recurred again. Don’t go on a warpath. Cut others some slack. Show your compassion. Tonight: Check your money.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
You might be vigorous in your approach to doing home repairs today. Likewise, this same vigor might apply to your style of talking to family members, which could lead to an argument. Lighten up. Don’t look like you’re spoiling for a fight. However, you can stand up for your beliefs. There’s a difference. Tonight: You win!
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★
You are a skilled debater, and today you have tremendous intellectual and mental energy, which means you can work with your mind much longer than usual and accomplish more. However, you also might use this mental energy to create an argument or defend your position. Relax. Keep things light. Tonight: Enjoy privacy.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
You are still empowered with the Sun and Venus in your sign, which is why others will listen to you today. In turn, you have strong opinions about financial matters, purchases or your salary. In particular, you might be concerned about a past issue. Diplomacy will get you the best results. Tonight: Be friendly.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★
Today Mercury is lined up with fiery Mars in your sign, which can make you take yourself too seriously. You also might be irritable about trivial things, or find yourself acting defensively when there’s nothing really at stake. It’s crazy, but it’s true. Tonight: You’re noticed.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
You have a wonderful mindset today to delve into the past, or research history, and look for answers to questions and solutions to problems. You also might be digging for a particular piece of information. Whatever the case, you will likely find what you’re looking for. Tonight: Explore!
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★
Discussions with a friend or a group will be intense today. You might be so convinced about espousing your ideas that either you or they will feel defensive. Speaking louder doesn’t make people listen. In fact, people always strain to hear a whisper. Tonight: Check your finances.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Tread carefully today, because you might be too mouthy when talking to parents, bosses or VIPs, including the police. It’s true; you have lots of mental energy and you want to express your ideas. However, others might perceive this as an ego trip. Could be. Tonight: Cooperate.
