SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What you do will have a more significant influence on your future than what you allude to.

Learn, travel and talk with experts who can offer insights and worthwhile connections. 5 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): With change comes opportunity. Look around and head in a direction that offers hope for a brighter future. Dwelling on the past doesn’t help promote new beginnings.
