Horoscopes
Aries
Tomorrow’s New Moon will help you to rise above small problems in the coming weeks, dear Aries. Because the Moon is Balsamic today, this is a time for letting go rather than revving up, however. Pay attention to random feelings and thoughts today, as this is a time for self-improvement through extending yourself beyond your normal routine. The New Moon tomorrow may point you in a new direction along these lines. It’s more appropriate to tie up loose ends and process recent events than to charge ahead with new plans during this Moon phase. You may be saying goodbye to something, figuratively speaking, and clearing the decks for new beginnings.
Taurus
A New Moon occurs tomorrow morning and takes you in a new direction, dear Taurus, making it important to keep things simple today. You don’t want the past ultimately dictating your future, so aim to focus on letting go of that which you no longer need. This New Moon cycle sends you on an inward journey, but not necessarily a solitary one. Concentrate on letting go and relaxing your mind instead of pushing something forward. This is a day that favors putting matters to rest and taking in information so that you absorb as much as you can. Tomorrow’s New Moon is likely to take your mind away from current concerns and onto more empowering ones. Making peace with others is especially favored now.
Gemini
Time spent alone or in relative peace can be very helpful today with the Moon in its dark, Balsamic phase today, dear Gemini. Letting go, reflecting, and reviewing are appropriate activities now. You’re likely to be pulled in a new direction or towards a new, enlightened perspective in the coming days. If you need to end a significant project (or even attitude), it’s a good time to do so. However, all-new projects or resolutions are best kept for the weeks after the New Moon that occurs tomorrow morning and brings a more in-charge and naturally confident energy to your relationships. Today is better for coming to peace with yourself and closing projects that have run their course.
Cancer
Your ruler, the Moon, is in its Balsamic phase today, dear Cancer, and this is a natural time for closing projects and reflection rather than action on new endeavors. It’s a good day for mending relationship problems as we are open to fixing things and creative about handling sensitive topics. With a New Moon occurring tomorrow morning, it’s best to tie up loose ends, meditate on recent events, and let go of that which needs to end. While it’s an excellent time for completing something, it’s not the best time for beginning a whole new project. Take life easy today, if you can. The next cycle will be especially busy for you as you turn strong attention to work, health, and self-care matters. It’s a time for breathing new life into stale routines.
Leo
Try to take some of the pressure off on this day before a New Moon, dear Leo. It’s most appropriate to lay low, reflect, revise, and intuit. This afternoon, the quick-moving Moon enters your romance and pleasure sector, where it will stay until the morning of December 1st. It’s a great time for letting the “inner child” out to play. You’ll find others rather agreeable right now. Opportunities to awaken talents that have laid dormant, as well as parts of yourself that you were too shy to express, are likely to emerge in the coming weeks. Choose today to reconcile differences if needed. Brand new beginnings may not come to pass or hold weight. Tomorrow’s New Moon is especially pleasant for you, launching a cycle that brings warm, creative, and romantic energy into your life.
Virgo
Whims would be wisely tamed today, dear Virgo, as interests and directions are likely to take a sharp turn in the coming days. Clarity is not likely to come just now as the Moon is Balsamic, with a New Moon occurring tomorrow morning, and we are inclined to be symbolically in the dark. However, it’s a strong time for downsizing, reflecting on recent events, and letting go of what you no longer need. People are especially open to giving and receiving affection right now, so take this opportunity to strengthen your relationships by expressing your sincere interest in others. The New Moon occurring tomorrow will put the spotlight on family and home matters for you. Tie up loose ends rather than starting something new today.
Libra
A New Moon occurs tomorrow and is an empowering influence for you, dear Libra. It energizes your communications sector, giving you a boost. The weeks ahead will bring new interests and new directions. For now, concentrate on reviewing, reflecting, tying up loose ends, and letting go. Entirely new projects should probably be deferred to a later date. Reflect, rest, and revise. New beginnings are on the horizon, and it’s up to you to make the best of this time to begin fresh. You’ll have powerful energy at your disposal for learning and connecting. Self-expression tonight and early tomorrow is easy, open, and imaginative.
Scorpio
There is a lot of emphasis on your spending habits, possessions, and wants and desires these days, dear Scorpio, and ideally, you’re coming to a better understanding of how you should handle your money. Tomorrow’s New Moon brings a more take-charge, empowering energy for taking care of your assets. It’s better not to make any final, critical decisions because of a Balsamic Moon today, however. Today is the last full day of the Scorpio New Moon cycle. It can be very helpful to review recent developments and personality changes. In the coming weeks, you’ll be focusing on building and developing your resources. Today, consider ways to make improvements to your financial position and feelings of security.
Sagittarius
The Moon is Balsamic today, dear Sagittarius, and this phase of the Moon turns us inward for valuable lessons. This is a time for reviewing matters, reflecting, and tapping into your intuition, and not for pushing forward with new endeavors. If you need to let go of a bad attitude or habit, now is a good time to do so. It’s even more important for you to take stock because tomorrow’s New Moon is in your sign. This is also the end of a yearly solar cycle. Your attitude going into this cycle can help shape the year ahead, so do what you can to get into a proper headspace. The upcoming period is about reshaping your image if it needs some tweaks. Today is excellent for seeing what fears may have been holding you back from pursuing your dreams. It’s a time to concentrate on the things you want to improve in your life, particularly concerning your personality, image, and attitudes.
Capricorn
Good energy is with you today for attracting who and what you want, dear Capricorn. Take it easy, however, as the Moon is Balsamic. The New Moon occurring tomorrow morning begins a brand new cycle. This New Moon occurs in your soul sector, marking a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual and, by extension, physical “batteries.” There can be sudden awareness of a private matter or the need for more rest and some seclusion. New initiatives begun today are unlikely to take seed. The Moon’s entrance into your privacy sector this afternoon also points you towards quieter activities and some level of anonymity. Keep a low profile. You’re in need of extra rest, and in the days ahead, this will become apparent. Observe and remain alert, but avoid starting something entirely new just yet.
Aquarius
If you can, avoid beginning an entirely new project today, dear Aquarius. Wait until after the New Moon tomorrow when new information can come to light. This is a time for reflecting rather than jumping into action. In fact, in the coming days and weeks, your interests are likely to change, and possibly dramatically. You are moving in a new direction with less concern about your performance and status and more interest in your personal happiness and the people around you. It’s important to take in information rather than to push for new experiences today, as the New Moon that occurs tomorrow is likely to change your perspective, bringing with it new interests and concerns. Today is super strong for easy energy with a partner or significant other. If you need to make any “repairs” in your relationship, now is a fine time to do so, but subtly! This is about letting go of the negative.
Pisces
There is a New Moon occurring tomorrow, dear Pisces. Today is a good time for reflecting upon what resolutions you’d like to make for improving your career and reputation, as the New Moon will be super-charged for making changes and taking charge. Take the time to get back to your calm self, as it’s a good time for making resolutions. You can attempt to envision what steps you’d like to take to improve your professional life. Others’ vision of who you are does impact your life possibly more than you know. The weeks ahead may be good for dispelling rumors or simply putting out the right message. You inspire confidence in a subtle, gentle way today, but you should aim to take it easy. Avoid making sweeping changes today; learn from what you take in today and tomorrow. Changes are certainly in the air, but they may not be clear until a few days from now.

Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC
Moon less than 45 degrees behind the Sun.
Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on November 28th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
