Horoscopes
Aries
This can be a good day for working at something you love and going the extra mile, dear Aries, as you can discover or rekindle your passion for something (and perhaps someone). There can be new insights into a career or research project, your financial affairs, or intimate matters that truly get you ahead of the game. Patience with others tends to translate as quiet power or authority. Going over or talking about a personal issue can figure strongly today. There is a strong tendency to analyze, talk about, or pick apart matters today, and this can in fact lead you to important discoveries.
Taurus
Although you could be feeling a little restless in spots today, dear Taurus, it’s a strong day for bringing a relationship to a new level. This could be subtle, and in fact works best if it is, but important. Agreeing with a partner or close friend on broader issues can be wonderful now, and can fill you with a stronger sense of purpose as well. Opening your mind to another person’s perspective now broadens your own vision. The ball continues to be in the other’s court now with the Sun in your partnership sector. However, the key to success and fulfillment now is to recognize that it’s not about control or power but in fact it’s about sharing and knowing when it’s another person’s turn for the limelight. You could have the opportunity to change unsatisfying elements of your life for the better.
Gemini
There could be a conflict between spending time on your own or with family and teaming up with someone today, dear Gemini. You may be on the fence whether to go your own way or oblige friends and others. However, work matters can be very strong now. You stand to learn something important and useful about the work you do or the people you work with. This can also be a fine time to research a work or health matter further, and to get solid results. There can be opportunities for meaningful contact with others, although some resistance from you or from people close to you that can confuse matters a little! Explore possibilities, but also listen to your heart. Ultimately, you’re the one who should decide where to expend your effort and time.
Cancer
While you could be battling a bit of daily life chaos or restlessness today, dear Cancer, there is the opportunity to pour your heart into something meaningful and productive. Inner harmony and confidence derived from getting in touch with your deeper needs can put you in a positive frame of mind. You can move forward with creative projects and express yourself more easily and comfortably now. One-on-one interactions can be positive and even transformational, as you are better able to hone in on difficult areas and find ways to improve things. For any of you seeking out counseling, this is a strong time to do so and come out with new and helpful tools for making positive changes. Expressing yourself with more strength and resolve in relationships can help to improve them.
Leo
Creative power is heightened today, dear Leo, with your ruler, the Sun, in positive relationship with Pluto. You are able to focus on what you want and pour your heart into its pursuit, or whatever you’re doing now. You might also feel a need to purge yourself of excess baggage, emotionally or materially. You stand to gain deeper insights and awareness about something that helps you understand and work more effectively, or to improve your health or connection with family. You can feel personally powerful from the inside out. You might decide to attack a problem from the root, which is most effective. You might find that you’re drawn to activities that test and prove your strength.
Virgo
With Jupiter in your sign in challenging aspect with Uranus today, dear Virgo, you have to watch for tensions that arise from doing or attempting too much. Remind yourself that you don’t need to rush. Helping you to sort out important versus useless information comes more easily with the help of a Sun-Pluto aspect connecting your communications and creativity sectors. This boosts your ability to persuade, titillate, and intrigue others, and for added strength and confidence to express yourself authentically. It would be helpful to find a project that truly absorbs your attention, or that is a big priority in your life right now, as you can truly make progress now. It can also be a good day for a conversation or interaction that takes an affectionate relationship to a new level. For some, there can be new and useful insight into a project, children, or a love affair.
Libra
You can be rather security-conscious these days, dear Libra, and today, you could come into information about, or gain insight into, a way to feel more secure and comfortable, possibly involving money. It’s a good time to pursue a raise or a project that has real potential. This is a time for really getting a handle on your priorities so that you can pour your energy, time, and resources into something that truly matters to you or that secures your future in a significant way. If there have been mistakes made in the past that have been negatively impacting your present, you might be able to work things out. Exercise patience today for the best results. Think strategically, even if social distractions are tempting.
Scorpio
With the Sun in your sign in harmony with your own ruler, Pluto, in your communications sector, dear Scorpio, this can be a power day. You are persuasive and charming, and also authoritative and interesting. This is a time for taking charge. You might solve a problem and make changes that are positive and permanent. It’s a great day for breaking a habit or resolving a dilemma that has been dragging you down. Seeing something through to the finish line helps you to feel stronger and more in control of your life, and if there’s a project that needs finishing, it’s a fine time for working on it. There can be a burning desire to renew, refresh, and change your life for the better.
Sagittarius
Vague doubts can undermine your efforts today, dear Sagittarius, but only if you let them! As discussed yesterday, Jupiter forms a challenging aspect with Uranus, and this can introduce an element of surprise into your week. If you work with this energy instead of against it, you’ll be in great shape. Look for ways to improve your life that are progressive, but not so time-consuming that you can’t do what you enjoy. Focus your attention on things that truly matter. Consider past accomplishments and the effort that was required to reach your goals, and remind yourself that you don’t need to push or rush things. Aim to get in touch with what truly motivates you, and identify material priorities as well. Keeping at least one foot on the ground is vital for success.
Capricorn
This is a good day for personal influence, dear Capricorn. You are able to focus on what truly matters, and to get to the point as well. People may be turning to you as a leader of sorts, particularly friends and business associates. If you have something to do that requires quite a bit of passion and/or focus, then it’s a great time to tackle that. You could be drawn to activities or situations that test your strength, and you might be feeling especially interested in showing your mettle, if only to yourself. Take things slowly but surely in order to benefit best from the day’s energy. There can be some distractions to deal with, but you’re in a good position to manage them.
Aquarius
Whether you’re clearing out and organizing your desk or your brain today, dear Aquarius, this is an excellent time for getting rid of what you don’t really need. Clutter can keep you from feeling clear and focused, and this includes the clutter in your closets, desks, or around the home, and the unfinished business you’re holding onto on an emotional level. This is the time for drawing upon past experience to benefit your projects or career, focusing on self-improvement, and for making subtle yet important changes in your image, if this can help you to advance. This can also be a day in which you get to prove that you have what it takes to get a job done. Watch for a tendency to speak too quickly or prematurely about a matter for best results today.
Pisces
This can be a powerful day for learning and discovery, dear Pisces, and perhaps a new level of relating with a friend can be reached. If a relationship is no longer supporting your growth, a change is necessary, and you can be quite interested in changing things from the ground up – superficial efforts will not do, and neither will bandaid fixes. You’re looking for more. There can be good news about a school or travel matter now, or you could reach a new level of understanding of a subject. While you need to avoid too-high expectations of yourself and of others now, you do need to establish some boundaries in your social life.

SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
EARTH STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL WEAK
This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) 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 life time).
THE MOON
THE MOON IN VIRGO
We have an emotional need for order with the Moon in Virgo. Diet, nutrition, health matters, work, and routines are in stronger focus. If we’re feeling out of sorts emotionally, we might also experience symptoms on a physical level now.
