Horoscopes
Aries
Neptune turns direct today after retrograde motion since June, dear Aries, and over the coming weeks, you feel more confident about relying on your intuition. Your ability — or confidence in — processing and reading information and signals you’re receiving increases. Believing what you hope is true can leave you somewhat blinded to the reality of situations, but you can never truly deceive yourself. In fact, believing a lie that you’re telling yourself can wear away at your confidence — in yourself, in others, and in life itself. Some realities may need to be faced this week, but you have every tool available to turn this into a positive. With Jupiter and Chiron in aspect today, you can be up and down about an intimate or relationship matter, not entirely sure what to believe. Your desire to remain positive is strong, but you may not be sure of what to believe in for the time being.
Taurus
Neptune turns direct today after retrograde motion since June, Taurus, and in the coming weeks, friendships, goals, and alliances may turn a corner or become clearer. Neptune is still Neptune, however, and these areas of life can remain up in the air regardless of Neptune’s direct turn, but now you feel less as if you are in limbo and more confident about taking action and where to put your trust. You might hear from a friend after a long absence or pick up an old project and begin reworking it. Recently, when you’ve needed someone to lean on, you may not have found them, or you’ve ended up extending your help instead. Going forward, goals and alliances become clearer. Consider also that this week, you may be dealing with some insecurities that have you questioning recent confidence in a relationship. These ups and downs are temporary and may eventually get you to a better place of understanding. What you need now is something to pour your heart in and to believe.
Gemini
Neptune turns direct today after retrograde motion since June, dear Gemini, and you may be gradually rebuilding your faith in matters related to career, long-term plans, and ability to meet your responsibilities. Even if you are not clear about your direction, you are likely to feel confident that your path will eventually reveal itself. Your reputation or professional image can improve as a result of this trust. In fact, the long transit of Neptune to your goals and career sector teaches you to let go of expectations and believe in your capabilities. A career matter or endeavor may show signs of forward motion now. This is also a good time for bringing more creativity, imagination, and idealism into the work you are doing. As well today, you may be questioning whether your efforts in your daily life or job are going anywhere solid or are recognized or rewarded.
Cancer
With Neptune turning direct today after several months of retrograde motion, dear Cancer, you’re likely to feel reenergized on spiritual levels. Going forward, you have more faith that you’re headed in the right direction, even if it’s not explicitly defined. In fact, with Neptune a long-term guest in your solar ninth house, part of the point is that you don’t always need clarity to embrace living. While you may have been wrestling with a tendency to procrastinate recently, you’re rebuilding your faith, and this encourages you to reach a little higher. Travel, educational, or publishing matters, plans, and decisions may begin to move forward now. Recent distractions from the bigger picture start to fall to the side. Outside distractions, in fact, may be just as numerous, but your conviction makes you far less distractable.
Leo
Neptune turns direct today after retrograde motion since June, dear Leo, and this can reinvigorate you on a spiritual level in the coming weeks. This is a time for rebuilding your faith in your ability to work through problem areas. You’re turning a corner regarding matters of shared assets, support, and boundaries in relationships this week. While there are still quite a few details to sort out in the weeks and even years ahead, you’ll be clearer about what you have and what you need, as well as what you can provide for yourself. In time, you’ll arrive at a far better understanding of where you may be losing ground due to wishful thinking. Today, you may want to avoid spending and lending.
Virgo
With Neptune retrograde since June, dear Virgo, at times you may have felt at the mercy of the whims and moods of others or quite undecided about how to improve your life regarding relationships. However, with Neptune’s direct turn today, you are less likely to feel overwhelmed, and you start the work of building faith in yourself to take charge of your comfort levels in your significant relationships. This can be a time of less procrastination on a relationship matter, or for turning a corner when it comes to decisions about who and what you want in your life. The process of learning about your relationship needs is ongoing, and there will be several peaks and valleys along the way. With Neptune’s direct turn, you’re headed towards one of the peaks. As much as possible, be honest with yourself but don’t bog yourself down with doubt or negativity – aim instead to refine and improve your dreams.
Libra
Neptune turns direct after retrograde motion since June, dear Libra, and as a result, its energies are pronounced this week. This can mean that your dreams are a big topic of interest. In the weeks ahead, efforts to improve your work, health, and daily routines will help clear your mind and free you of guilt. The key may be a renewed faith in what you’re doing or in the idea that more meaningfulness is to come in the future. If you’ve been procrastinating on work or health matters, or if you’ve been waiting for an answer before moving forward, you’ll find things resume normally now. Your life doesn’t straighten out overnight with Neptune’s change of direction, but you feel a little more confident that you can turn around some problems and you’re likely to find that your overall mood changes significantly.
Scorpio
Neptune turns direct today after retrograde motion since June, dear Scorpio. In the coming weeks, you can feel reinvigorated on creative and romantic levels – encouraged to believe in your dreams or to clear your mind of dreams that no longer serve you well so that you can make room for new ones. Distractions tend to dissipate, or more accurately, you’re less distractable. Confusion in your life in recent months may have had to do with avoidance, especially of getting in touch with your heart on a matter, but with Neptune’s direct turn, you’re now truly listening to your heart. A creative project, cherished hobby, or romantic friendship may show signs of moving forward. With a Jupiter-Chiron challenged today it can feel like you’re at a speed bump despite a recent resurgence of confidence in your personal plans. A temptation to overdo things should be avoided as excess won’t mask problems for long and may add to them.
Sagittarius
Neptune turns direct today after retrograde motion since June, dear Sagittarius, and in the coming weeks, you’ll feel reinvigorated on matters that you’ve been letting slide or procrastinating. Especially when it comes to taking care of family and home-related issues, you’re more inclined to follow your dreams and take action on building family relationships or a home that’s better aligned with what you dream and hope it to be. The inner troubleshooting that you’ve been engaging in starts to pay off as you regain some sense of direction and determination. This is not to say that your living situation is completely clear as Neptune will transit this part of your chart for several more years, but you’re more likely to take action on making things work for you in the months ahead. Today, your ruler forms a dynamic aspect to Chiron, and you should watch for a dip in confidence that leads to overdoing or hiding yourself away.
Capricorn
Neptune turns direct today after retrograde motion since June, dear Capricorn, and you’ll be rebuilding motivation and faith in your projects, learning, studies, and relationships in the coming weeks. You are more likely to share your ideas and inspiration with others, and less inclined to procrastinate or question your goals and dreams. It hasn’t been easy concentrating on mundane or routine tasks with Neptune transiting your solar third house for many years. However, you’re getting closer to your imaginative, intuitive side. Neptune’s direct turn can bring some misconceptions to light but also confidence in your creative process. A learning, writing, or transportation issue that has been in limbo can move forward as news you were waiting for arrives or a lost item is found.
Aquarius
The day inclines you to some excess, dear Aquarius, particularly related to your work or performance. It’s not easy to see a clear path today, but Neptune’s direct turn after five months of retrograde motion points to some reinvigoration of your spirit and dreams. You put faith in your intuition on business and financial matters. Confidence in your ability to handle your responsibilities, make the living you want to make, and attract the right resources to you increases in the weeks ahead. A money matter that’s been stuck or in limbo may now release and progress forward. While your relationship with your money, income, talents, and resources is an ongoing journey with several peaks and valleys, you’re headed towards one of the peaks.
Pisces
Neptune turns direct today after retrograde motion since June, dear Pisces. In the coming weeks, you can feel reinvigorated on spiritual levels, and you may be approaching the world in new, more empowered ways. There can also be forward motion in projects or personal plans or more confidence and faith in your dreams. You might arrive at new and improved ways of presenting yourself to others. Your ability to lead will firm up now and in the coming weeks, helping to get you back into the groove of things. Today’s Jupiter-Chiron influence affects the week and does point to some questioning of your recent optimism related to your beliefs or your educational, travel, or publishing plans. However, ups and downs are temporary and may very well help you get to a stronger position.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
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 (EST) on November 22nd:
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 the Moon 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).
