Business horoscope: Taureans will need a clear head, and Pisces — flexibility.

      Today, November 18, some are advised not to heed the words of their elders. Some should not rush into opening a new firm. Some will find the ability to analyze situations useful, while others need to take everything with humor.

      Aries:

      You will have a great chance to offload some of your work and free up the evening for more pleasant pursuits. There is a high probability that you will receive offers of cooperation from the firms you would like to have as partners.

      Taurus:

      Try to put your thoughts and feelings in order today: a clear head will surely be needed very soon. It's better to forget about your personal life for now — trying to combine it with work at the moment is hopeless and you will fail in both areas.

      Gemini:

      On this day the stars advise you not to attach any special importance to the words of your elders — whether by age or by position. They are likely mistaken about something, and their authoritativeness prevents them from realizing it. You, however, don't need to tell them about it either — you'll only bring trouble upon yourself.

      Cancer:

      You should not rush into opening a new branch or creating a new company right now; it is unlikely to be a very successful move. Do not hasten events, because old oversights you forgot and failed to consider may surface later.

      Leo:

      Today anxiety about someone close to you will distract you from work and occupy most of your thoughts. If you feel that is the case, leave work under any pretext: you won't be very productive anyway, and the harm could be serious.

      Virgo:

      Today fear of difficulties won't do you any favors — the more you fear failure, the harder both routine and unexpected tasks will seem. Try to take a simpler view of things.

      Libra:

      Today your ability to analyze the situation and think several steps ahead will be particularly useful. Thorough strategy work is more important now than ever, so approach resolving this matter very seriously.

      Scorpio:

      Today you will discover to your surprise that your productivity is much higher than you could have imagined. Do everything possible to find out what produced such a striking effect, and consolidate that knowledge in your future work.

      Sagittarius:

      Today you should take everything with humor — including the need to work when you have no desire to. If you don't find the funny side of what's happening, you risk losing your ability to assess the situation rationally.

      Capricorn:

      You are now faced with the choice of which new project to give the green light to. Evaluate this in terms of the prospects opening up to you and the current market situation. It may be necessary to postpone some planned ventures.

      Aquarius:

      Your superiors are ready to promote you to a higher position, but now you face the question of whom to recommend for the post you will vacate. The search for a candidate could put you in a rather awkward position — keep that in mind.

      Pisces:

      Be flexible, and you'll be able to poach future clients from your competitors. Offer them terms they simply cannot refuse. You may have to compromise on your principles in some respects.
