Your daily horoscope: November 4, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

With Mars and Uranus highlighted on your birthday you will be dynamic in the extreme, but there is also a danger you will take the kind of risks that even a Scorpio should avoid. Try to find a sensible midpoint, maybe somewhere between adventurous and reckless!

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Avoid extremes at all costs today. You may be tempted to double the effort you put into getting things done but the planets warn you will most likely get less out than you put in, while exhausting yourself in the process.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Your confidence may be high at the moment but you need to be aware that your success, or your failure, is still very much in the hands of other people. Always make sure that partners and colleagues are aware of your plans.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

As Mars moves into your opposite sign tomorrow it’s unlikely you will get your own way either at home or at work. Once you accept that fact you can adjust your tactics and find ways to work round whatever obstacles are placed in your path.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You need to start looking at life from a broader perspective. Too often in the past you have limited yourself to a narrow viewpoint of what does and does not matter and that has restricted your options. Act as if there are no limits.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

It may annoy you that someone you thought was strong-minded like you seems overly sensitive to even quite minor setbacks, but that’s just the way it is. At least you will know better than to trust them with assignments that might be stressful.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Mars is about to join your ruling planet Mercury in one of the more emotional areas of your chart, so your priority must be to stay calm when confronted by situations that rub you up the wrong way. Try to see the funny side of petty annoyances.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

There can be no more excuses for not pushing ahead with your plans. The time has come to commit yourself 100 per cent and the first step must be to cut out of your life anything and everything that might distract you. Be ruthless with yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

You have been extremely lucky of late but not everyone has been so blessed. If a friend or loved one is struggling and in need of assistance make it your business to help them. Give back some of your good fortune to the world.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

As Mars is about to move into your birth sign both your energy and your self-belief will soar. That may be a recipe for success but don’t push your luck too far and do things that people in positions of power are unlikely to approve of.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You need to focus less on the material side of life and more on what makes you happy emotionally. No matter how successful you may be in the world at large it is still human relationships that make it a joy to be alive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

The approaching full moon will make you rather emotional and if you let your feelings run away with you over the next few days you could regret it. There are very few things in life that are genuinely worth getting worked up about.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

With Mars moving into the career area of your chart you won’t lack for opportunities to move up in the world, but to make the most of them you have got to take the initiative rather than wait for other people to offer you opportunities.
