Horoscopes
Aries
You continue to feel good about a relationship or a private matter today, dear Aries, but should be aware of a tendency to allow wishful thinking to interfere with practical judgment. There can be some disarray and confused thinking now with a Mercury-Neptune square that makes it challenging to combine logic and imagination cohesively. Resistance to following directions or instructions can compound the problem. While the drive may not be with you today, resolve to put more order into your life down the road, or if you’re struggling with boredom with what you’re learning or doing, to add more room for imagination. If decisions are difficult to make because you’re stuck on a matter from the past, make a plan to start chipping away at a long-standing problem. Small efforts are better than none.
Taurus
You continue to enjoy a Venus-Jupiter energy today that fills you with hopefulness and a stronger sense of meaning, dear Taurus. Even so, it can be hard to focus on the facts in front of you. You may feel that your mind is playing tricks on you today, with fact-finding Mercury in challenging aspect to Neptune, which prefers a bit of mystery. You may have to compromise to gain peace of mind. The likelihood of misunderstandings on social or romantic levels is high. Wishful thinking could confuse your idea of others — or their view of you. If a situation calls for mental focus, then be sure you double-check your work. Otherwise, consider ways to enliven work or projects that have become dull and to make a dream more realizable or realistic.
Gemini
There is continued fortunate energy with you for the enjoyment of your work, services, or routines today, Gemini. However, a Mercury-Neptune square points to some foggy thinking or miscommunications, even more so than yesterday. Perceptions are strongly colored by what you want to see or afraid to see. Indulging in fantasy can be quite therapeutic, but the trick will be to do so in the right situations today. Avoid making significant decisions based only on what you see today – try to reserve judgment for later. Consider that others may be similarly confused or distracted. They may not know the whole story, or may not be revealing it! Career and reputation matters can be clouded in a fog, and so can close relationships, but this is only temporary.
Cancer
A Venus-Jupiter parallel today makes it easy to enjoy yourself, dear Cancer, as you see the very best in a situation or person. The day can certainly be a creative or romantic one, but it’s not so good for practical matters. Situations or tasks that require crystal-clear thinking may not fare as well since your perceptions are a little skewed towards wishful thinking. There is a tendency now to gloss over facts, and straight answers from others don’t seem possible today. If you’re dealing with details or facts and figures on the job, double check your work. Work may suddenly feel a little dull, particularly if your mind is going back and forth between fantasy and facts. Perhaps you merely need to take a break for mental refreshment now.
Leo
A Venus-Jupiter parallel today is excellent for morale, dear Leo. You feel generous with others and particularly good about your living conditions. However, keep in mind that this is not the time to seek precision. In fact, you may very well be better off leaving some things up in the air or open to interpretation. Clear answers may not be forthcoming, and attempts to pin something down are unlikely to lead anywhere solid. Information is missing or hidden, and your own imagination can skew your perceptions of a situation, particularly a love relationship. Resolving to live in the moment and take care of business at a later date makes the most sense now. It’s better not to make promises or commitments until you’re feeling back to normal.
Virgo
There is continued good energy for your personal interests, projects, or work today, dear Virgo. Your attitude is fabulous, and you’re hungry to pour more energy into the things you love doing. However, a Mercury-Neptune influence can point to misunderstandings. While you may want to clarify a matter or express your ideas, someone may not be truly getting what you’re saying or seems uninterested. Your enthusiasm may not be matched, but don’t let this bring you down. It’s better to accept that this isn’t a day for consistency or clarity, but do treat it as a day in which there are distinct moments of inspiration, perhaps from surprising sources. Disorderliness in your home may be something that you can plan to tackle. Situations that do require close attention to detail may require more effort now.
Libra
A Venus-Jupiter parallel aspect influencing the day is excellent for your overall mood, dear Libra, and for your morale. You may feel like giving yourself a treat or others may decide to treat you! However, the day is not as ideal for precise work or clear thinking. Mercury is currently in your communications sector seeking reliable information and answers to problems, but today faces a challenging aspect to elusive Neptune. If life has been a little disordered or chaotic, you’re likely to feel the lack of organization acutely now. As much as you’d like to figure things out, you may end up spending too much time looking for things you’ve misplaced or dealing with missing information. Try not to feel pressured to draw conclusions or to make a significant statement. Seek out healthy escapes from dull tasks and routines.
Scorpio
There is a tendency to spend too much or to misjudge financial matters today, Scorpio, primarily because you’re seeing things through an unrealistic or emotional lens right now. The tendency is to overlook important details and to have difficulties concentrating on your practical affairs, as much as you’d like to make sense of things. Something may be misconstrued on a social or romantic level today, so do what you can to keep things clear or avoid iffy topics. It’s not the best time to sign on the dotted line, either. Enjoy some fictional drama and look for creative outlets, which will energize you, but avoid real-life drama, which will only serve to drain you for the time being. A Venus-Jupiter parallel is excellent for good intentions and feelings, however.
Sagittarius
While you’re in generally good spirits today, dear Sagittarius, there can be some tendency to misinterpret a communication, particularly related to home and family, or to try to articulate something that seems to defy description at the moment. Miscalculations are likely today, but going off the mark may end up a useful exercise if you take it as a learning experience. This can also be a time when you’re tempted to exaggerate or say something prematurely. It can be difficult seeing things clearly and getting a point across, perhaps due to inner uncertainty. If you can let go of overthinking or seeking out definitions, however, this can be a good time for creative thinking and writing. A strong sense of the dramatic can spur on creativity. You’re feeling generous and forgiving.
Capricorn
You may be tempted to say something prematurely now, and it’s probably better to keep your own counsel just for now, dear Capricorn. A Mercury-Neptune influence suggests difficulties concentrating or honing in on the most important information. However, the day is fine for good intentions, which tend to shine through, particularly with friends and associates. It’s a good time to open your mind to new possibilities, as long as you keep in mind that a strong tendency to mix up fantasy and reality. It’s better to be wary of blurred or adjusted boundaries today, and avoid doing things you usually wouldn’t do, particularly if they involve deception or taking significant shortcuts. Consider that you may need to schedule more breaks or make room for more creative and freeform activities going forward.
Aquarius
The day feels good and you can sense that people are trying their best, dear Aquarius, but it’s best to keep in mind that perceptions may be temporarily wavering. There can be a spaced-out quality to the day, and this can be problematic in moments but useful if you can turn it around to your advantage. Be particularly vigilant when it comes to spending and lending, or better yet, save significant transactions for a later date. There can be a confusing matter related to a friend. However, your imagination can take you to the right places as well. You can be feeling confident about your goals or the work you’re doing, and stretching your mind to entertain new possibilities is a happy exercise you for now.
Pisces
There is continued good energy for good humor, learning, and sharing ideas today, Pisces. However, there can be some speed bumps and hassles to deal with as Mercury in your career sector seeking the facts forms a challenging square aspect to Neptune in your sign. It becomes especially important to fact-check as gossip and misinformation can be a problem today. Your imagination is excellent, but may not always serve you well today, as it can play to your insecurities. You may be expecting others to understand you even if you are not stating your needs clearly, or your fantasies interfere with achieving your goals. Whatever the case, it’s a good idea to avoid important decision making until you feel more confident and focused.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
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.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
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 13th:
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).
