Your lookahead horoscope: November 9, 2025

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY You won’t lack for good ideas over the coming year, but your birthday chart warns that only one or two of them will be worth pursuing. Set yourself one major goal and have a second goal as a backup for those days when you get bored. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): If you learn something to your advantage during the early part of the week be smart and keep it to yourself.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): You may feel the need to be more adventurous but with luck planet Jupiter about to begin its retrograde phase that may not be the best idea you’ve ever had.

How to Save Money on Kids’ Expenses Without Sacrificing Fun

Raising kids can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. There are many ways to cut costs on kids’ expenses without compromising their happiness or well-being. Here are some tips to help you save money and still have fun with your kids:

  • Simplify birthday parties: Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on venues, food and entertainment, host a party at home or a nearby park. Kids will enjoy playing games, eating cake and spending time with their friends. You can also ask guests to bring a dish or a gift to share.
  • Postpone the trips: Traveling with kids can be enriching, but also costly and stressful. Wait until your kids are old enough to appreciate and remember the experience. You can also explore local attractions, go camping or visit relatives instead of flying abroad.
  • Reduce the clutter. Kids don’t need a lot of toys and books to be happy. Having too many can overwhelm them and reduce their creativity. Choose quality over quantity and donate or sell the ones they don’t use. You can also borrow books from the library, swap with friends or buy secondhand.
  • Delay the activities: Enrolling your kids in various activities can be beneficial, but also expensive and time-consuming. Consider whether your kids are ready and interested in the activity before signing them up. You can also encourage them to play outdoors, do arts and crafts or learn new skills at home.
  • Dress them smartly: Kids grow fast and their tastes change quickly. Buying them fancy clothes can be a waste of money and closet space. Opt for comfortable, durable and versatile outfits that can be mixed and matched. You can also shop at thrift stores, swap with friends or make your own clothes.
