Horoscopes
Aries
This can be another idea day, dear Aries, although it may be harder to pull everything together into a cohesive whole. It’s a time for coming up with fresh and exciting ideas, particularly related to publishing, education, promotion, or travel. However, others may not be catching on, or you could be a little tense if you can’t concentrate. You are going against the grain right now. There can also be quite a bit of excitement about a longer-term plan or project, or a group endeavor. A friendship can come into high focus, and you can feel quite inspired. Confidence may be a missing factor now, but this is temporary. Past mistakes can assume more importance than they should in your mind now.
Taurus
You can feel a strong desire for new experiences and ideas, dear Taurus, and you can be tempted to break through taboos or force change with rebellious behavior. Someone may surprise you with something, or you could surprise yourself by divulging information that you didn’t think you’d reveal. Perhaps there is a mischievous part of you that just wants to put the past behind you. Being mindful of this tendency can help to make life a little smoother. However, you may feel the need to release yourself of a problem, secret, or past matter. There is good energy for creative and innovative thinking about business or long-term goals.
Gemini
You want to put the past behind you and begin anew, dear Gemini. The Moon in your sign until late evening encourages a spontaneous or casual approach to the day, and a Mercury-Uranus challenge fairly demands it. However, this combination can lead to tension, so while you should honor your need for fresh approaches, avoid overthinking or overreaching. Watch for a tendency to shock, challenge, or disrupt others if it’s coming from a desire for change. Look for new learning challenges or mix up your routine a little for the mental stimulation you crave now. The Moon’s move out of your sign tonight can help settle you.
Cancer
Work or business requires nontraditional thinking right now, dear Cancer. The desire to advance and innovate is strong. Getting chores out of the way or clearing up paperwork can help clear your head and make room for the more exciting or creative endeavors you want to pursue. There can be some restlessness to combat now, but you are looking forward and discovering ways to make improvements. Scattered thoughts can lead to undue stress, so aim to prioritize. Tonight is excellent for analyzing past patterns, particularly related to business and finances, which can help you to think up new, improved methods. The Moon moves into your sign late evening, pushing emotions that you may have brushed aside to the surface.
Leo
You’re in a strong stage that emphasizes new and even breakthrough thinking, dear Leo, but there are days when you have trouble prioritizing and focusing on one or two things. Your mind is hungry for freshness, and there are so very many things you want to learn and absorb! A scattered approach won’t satisfy in the long run, so consider ways to pace yourself. There can be unexpected benefits coming through a faraway connection or partnership now. You can be especially inspired by an idea that leads you down a new path or that sets off interesting tangents of thought. The Moon’s move into your privacy sector late evening can serve to slow you down a little, as you become especially aware of any tendencies to overload on an emotional level.
Virgo
Stale thinking and the same old routine need to go, dear Virgo, as the day challenges you to let go of familiar patterns of thinking and create new ones. There can be some tension or stress if you’re not acknowledging this need for change. There can also be some level of chaos in your home life or plans that are up in the air, interfering with your state of mind. Get in touch with the part of you that knows you have to think outside the box to get over a hump. Ideas are not fully formed yet, but worthy of your attention. Later today is excellent for work and research.
Libra
Another day for generating ideas is in store for you, dear Libra. You might discover information or solve a problem that clears the path for new beginnings. You are seeing patterns and putting puzzle pieces together, although this is likely to come after some frustrating trial and error. Bouncing ideas off someone else can help out a lot. So can putting pen to paper or typing your ideas out. Verbalizing in these ways can lead to better decision making. The Moon moves to the top of your solar chart this evening, and you’re likely to invest more energy and thought into responsibilities and performance.
Scorpio
Today is strong for catching onto the wave of the future, dear Scorpio, as your mind begins to work overtime thinking up new ideas. However, there can be difficulties discerning between a whim and real innovation now. You are in need of fresh thinking along financial lines, but overthinking is not going to help you. In fact, it’s likely to make you nervous. Once you learn to calm your mind today, you get yourself into a better position to see patterns naturally. By tonight, you are bound to arrive at solutions.
Sagittarius
Again today, your mind is quick, dear Sagittarius, but it can be harder to concentrate right now. Your mind can end up racing if you don’t consciously work on slowing it down. You need a change on a mental level, and this can be the reason for the unrest you’re feeling. Look for something fresh to think about or a new learning challenge. Otherwise, you may be inclined to stir up some controversy just to get things started, which could lead to unpleasant results. Later today, sharing ideas with a close friend or partner can be stimulating. It’s also a good time for creative expression. Seeing past patterns can help bring perspective to new projects and endeavors.
Capricorn
While much of the day it can be difficult getting your thoughts in order, dear Capricorn, later today there can be an illuminating moment in which puzzle pieces seem to unite, and you see a matter more clearly. Problem-solving with family, home, and money matters can be in focus and strong. The Moon transits your work and health sector most of the day, stimulating a need for order and organization. Tonight, the Moon moves into your partnership sector, and your social life assumes more importance than taking care of business.
Aquarius
Again today, your senses are stimulated, dear Aquarius and new ideas and plans energize you. It may be difficult getting others on board today, however, or you may feel that distractions prevent you from getting to a conclusion. However, don’t let go of the creative process. Challenges to your thinking can actually help you to think more clearly. You are attracting interesting people into your life mainly due to your interesting point of view and special way of communicating.
Pisces
Progress is in focus today, dear Pisces, but there can be some wavering confidence so that ideas may not get off the ground. There can be excellent ideas and insights forming now, particularly about relationships and life-path or career plans, but difficulties pulling everything together. You are thinking outside of the box about financial matters, which can benefit you greatly. Analyzing past patterns can help you to make better decisions. The Moon moves into your romance and creativity sector this evening, and you tend to let go of tense topics. Clear your mind now.

Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on November 16th:
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).
