Missile Fire from Yemen's Houthi Rebels Triggers Sirens in Central Israel for the Second Night

  For the second consecutive night, air raid sirens blared across central Israel as a missile launched from Yemen's Houthi rebels was intercepted by Israeli air defenses early Wednesday morning. The missile, aimed at the Tel Aviv area, was successfully intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory, though shrapnel from the interception fell in several towns.  This marks the fourth time in a week that missile fire from the Houthi rebels has set off sirens in Israel. On Saturday, a missile hit a playground in Tel Aviv, injuring 16 people after Israel's air defense system failed to intercept it. In response, Israeli jets struck Yemen's rebel-held capital and a port city, resulting in nine casualties.  Israel's foreign minister has requested an emergency meeting of the U.N.

Your daily horoscope: November 4

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Over the coming year you must get to grips with family and financial issues that up until now you have been happy to avoid. Only you have the power to resolve them to the satisfaction of everyone involved, so take control and make good things happen.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

As your ruling planet Mars moves into the most dynamic area of your chart today this should be one of the most productive times of the year for you. Put any lingering emotional problems you may have out of your mind and focus on being creative.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Try to avoid people who love making a drama out of a crisis. Petty, everyday problems may be important to them but they mean nothing to you and you must not allow them to distract you from the truly serious stuff in life – like having fun!

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

As Mars moves into the communications area of your chart today you will be a lot more verbally aggressive, especially when dealing with people whose minds move more slowly than your own - which is just about everyone. Try not to make enemies.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

The sun in the most dynamic ear of your chart will boost your self-belief to new highs but you must not take silly risks as the new week begins, especially with money. An over-confident attitude could lead to some serious, and costly, mistakes.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

The more you have been at other people’s beck and call in recent weeks the more you will now turn the tables and start making demands of them. It’s not about revenge though, it’s about making sure friends and colleagues do the right things.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

There is a danger that you could see threats and hazards coming at you from all directions today but the planets indicate there is precious little to be worried about. Your fears are nothing more than phantoms of the mind – and phantoms do not exist!

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Just because you have the power to force others to do your bidding does not mean you have the right to do so. The message of the stars today is that you need to be relentlessly honest and fair in your dealings with friends, relatives and colleagues.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Anyone who thinks you don’t have what it takes to succeed is about to be proved very wrong indeed. Not only is the sun moving through your sign but Mars, planet of energy and ambition, is highlighting the career area of your chart. You can’t lose!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

If you are in one of those moods when you want to get away from it all then just get up and go. Mars in the most adventurous area of your chart means no one, not even your closest friends, will have the courage to stop you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

There is a danger now that you might fall out with a friend or relative who isn’t happy about the way you have been administering your joint affairs. Sit down with them today and talk things through – and talk means talk, it doesn’t mean shout!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

A relationship problem CAN be resolved but you must have the courage to tackle it head-on. Up until now you have been happy to avoid any kind of confrontation but Mars in the partnership area of your chart means it’s time to be more direct.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Cosmic activity in the work area of your chart means you won’t be able to cut corners or take shortcuts – if a job is worth doing then it must be done properly. This is one of those occasions when the easy way is definitely not the best way.
