Horoscopes
Aries
There is a stronger focus on your goals and objectives today, dear Aries, and meeting your responsibilities without delay can help protect you from emotional ups and downs. You’re at your best taking care of business today. You are pushing yourself a little harder now, and while this can get you places, overdoing may be a problem, particularly as the month advances. Once you achieve something, you may have your eye on the next level before taking the time to enjoy your accomplishments. Today and the next couple of days are good for understanding the need for some degree of independence and freedom in close relationships, without feeling threatened by it. It’s also a good time for embracing your own independence. Decision making isn’t at its peak, however, as one part of you wants to “know all” and discover the many angles of a situation, and another part wonders if it’s healthier to let go of some of this control.
Taurus
You’re putting a lot of energy and perhaps many expectations into your relationships today, dear Taurus. In fact, if you’re sensing any disharmony with others, this can mess with your confidence and effectiveness in many other areas of life. Despite this sensitivity, part of you may be looking for hidden layers and motivations in a partner or friend, which could serve to rock the boat that you’re so worried might tip. You may need to choose one or the other, as you can’t expect to be content if you’re probing deeply and putting so much value in surface harmony. The Moon’s position in cooperation with your sign encourages looking forward to new plans and projects rather than worrying too much about the intricacies of the present.
Gemini
This is not the best day for coming to concrete conclusions, dear Gemini, but your intuition in or about your relationships is on point. The only caveat is that you may need to live and let live rather than interfere or push for answers with others. The tendency to see-saw between intensive inquiry and detached acceptance can bewilder people around you, so you may want to keep an eye on it, especially since it doesn’t do you any favors, either. You have a low tolerance threshold when it comes to waste and inefficiency today, making it essential to recognize priorities and then hone in on perfecting and developing what truly matters to you right now. Distractions are likely to be plentiful, but if you can manage to get something solid and tangible done, you’ll feel quite content at the end of the day.
Cancer
See-sawing between different approaches and methods can lead to some brain confusion today, dear Cancer, and perhaps a lack of satisfaction and contentment at the end of the day. If you’re going back and forth on an issue, take a break from thinking about it too intensely or from picking things apart. You may need some distance from the matter in order to gain some perspective. The Moon in the sign opposite yours doesn’t help with decisiveness, but it does offer you the ability to see and appreciate both sides of a story. Finding a balance can’t be forced, but you can certainly aspire towards it, and peace-making can be rewarding now.
Leo
You’re unlikely to feel fully satisfied until you’ve gotten to the bottom of a matter related to your past, childhood, or current home, family, and living conditions, dear Leo. However, this intensity may interfere with your mood and a relationship today if you’re taking things too far. Sometimes, letting things be for a while sets things right — either you discover that you didn’t truly need to know, or the distance you took from the situation gives you perspective. The Moon spends the entire day in your work and health sector, encouraging efforts put forth to refine and perfect projects and programs related to your daily life, work, and self-care.
Virgo
While the Moon is in a playful, expressive, and creative sector of your chart all day, dear Virgo, there is some tendency for you to obsess over a problem that keeps you from enjoying yourself thoroughly. The day does favor concentrated efforts, but it’s important that you identify what kinds of activities serve you well and which ones are not-so-fun time wasters (the fun and frivolous activities do serve a purpose, however!). Recognize when it serves your better interests to let go of something that’s consuming too much of your time and bringing you down in the process. Look for reasons to take a healthy escape from serious business, unless, of course, serious business is your particular pleasure at the moment!
Libra
You take particular interest in your home or personal life today, dear Libra, and you can benefit greatly from attempts to find your emotional center. This can be a time of beautifying or bringing more excitement to the plain or ordinary elements of your personal environment. Doing something useful around the home can fill an emotional need today. There can be differences in opinion or inner “disputes” experienced today that lead to some feeling of disorganization, however. Obsessive thinking should be avoided, but specialized research or detail work are just fine. You aspire to contentment with people exactly as they are today, but another side of you has difficulty letting go of certain issues or trains of thought, which can lead to mixed signals. Whether to probe a matter more deeply or to live and let live can be the dilemma now, but you’re creative enough to find the middle road.
Scorpio
This is a good day for pouring energy into your personal interests and projects, dear Scorpio. You’re unlikely to be satisfied unless you do whatever you’re doing well — efficiently and professionally — with the Moon in traditional Capricorn in your communications sector all day. You are more impressed by others’ respect and honesty than praise or niceties, and this quality is emphasized today. Getting down to business, even if it’s regarding a pastime and not your actual work, can be satisfying. There may be some disagreements about methods or approaches today, and you might even feel blocked from expressing yourself in the style you prefer. You may overreach a little as you attempt to utilize your resources fully, and this tendency is likely to grow as the month advances. It will benefit you to nip this problem in the bud early, although you may need to push the boundaries first before discovering what is too much.
Sagittarius
The Moon spends another day in your solar second house, dear Sagittarius, and your mental orientation is practical. It’s a good time to see what needs improving and assessing areas of waste in your life, as you are a little more strict in your outlook than usual. Sometimes, this attitude serves you well, as long as it’s done in moderation. As the day advances, you may be a little withdrawn as you become preoccupied with personal matters. Even so, part of you wants to pull yourself out of a certain train of thought and would prefer to let go of the past and move on. Consider which attitude serves your best interests the most right now, and choose it instead of swinging back and forth between the two.
Capricorn
The Moon continues to transit your sign all day, dear Capricorn (until tomorrow morning). Yours is a sign that is not afraid of some solitude, and in fact, you do some of your best thinking and planning on your own. Your capacity to withdraw is usually quite healthy, leading to a stronger state of balance. Today, however, you may have had your fill of seclusion and are now craving acknowledgment for your feelings or more stable connection to the world around you. You’re also interested in experiencing something a little different or avant-garde. Decisions can be harder to make than usual today for many reasons, however. For one, you are experimenting with feelings and “trying on” different experiences for size, so that leaving things open is vital. For another, you can be a little torn between looking for all the answers and enjoying the freedom of letting life unfold naturally. It may be best to avoid committing or limiting yourself today.
Aquarius
The Moon spends another day in your privacy zone today, dear Aquarius. If you can spend an extended time free of interference so that you can do your own thing, you can benefit greatly from the process. However, you may not entirely escape distractions, as you may be sought out for answers or commitments you don’t feel quite ready to give right now. You are a certainly an individualist, and you prefer to make your own rules, and the wisdom in this is appreciated these days. However, people around you may be micromanaging now, and this can be frustrating. Do your best to get out of this gracefully and honor your need to improvise. Late morning tomorrow, the Moon will enter your sign, and you’ll more thoroughly enjoy connecting with the world around you, but today, some level of retreat helps you to restore balance and gain perspective.
Pisces
You are skilled at bringing peace to any get-together, dear Pisces, as your gentle presence can inspire others to understand, accept, and go with the flow. You don’t typically choose to lead, but you can be a quiet leader nonetheless. People may be surprised at the people you choose to spend your time with, likely because your friends don’t seem to have a common denominator like others. Instead, they have a broad range of lifestyles, backgrounds, and opinions. Today is good for enjoying friends and relationships that support individuality and freedom of expression. You may feel resentful of anything that ties you down to any one idea, situation, or place. There is good energy for you to do rearranging and redesigning of your projects, personal environment, and plans.

Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on November 5th:
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).
