Horoscopes
Aries
This morning, tendencies to lock heads with others or to push or instigate continue, dear Aries, as Mars, your ruler, forms a square to Pluto. There can be problems dealing with difficult people and pursuing an important goal, or there may be disagreement on priorities now. If you fear that you will not get your way, there can be a temptation to manipulate. Be careful not to come on so insistently that you become an instigator, particularly in dealings with authority figures or other professional matters. This is a time when you may feel like pushing a matter, but it’s best not to force issues. Resentment or sudden anger that seems more forceful than suits the situation can be important clues to areas where you’re too attached for your own good. Aim to take the high road now. This becomes far easier as the day advances and difficult energies diffuse. In fact, you crave more freeform time to explore.
Taurus
This morning, there is further tension possible if you’re dwelling or obsessing over a problem area, dear Taurus, likely related to an opinion or method. You may be holding on for dear life to either of these things, but it’s worthwhile to question why this is the case. A rigid mindset may be a symptom of a deeper problem or fear of change, and that doesn’t do anyone, including yourself, any good. The first half of the day is a time when power struggles are more likely, but if you don’t push yourself or others, you’ll feel much better. As the day advances, you’re ready to unwind and let go.
Gemini
This morning, there is further tension possible involving power plays or resistance, dear Gemini. There can be issues related to understanding what a relationship means or its depth of involvement or commitment. If power dynamics are an issue, perhaps you can think up ways to manage and share power going forward. Use this intense energy to push forward a creative project or focus your energies on something productive rather than dwell on things that aren’t going your way. Use this intense strength to push forward an innovative project or focus your energies on something productive. Even so, as the day advances, you’re more inclined to want to wind down than up.
Cancer
This morning, tension continues to threaten as people seem to be overly attached to an idea of how they want life to play out, dear Cancer. Ego energies may dominate which can result in clashes or power games. Family matters can be challenging now, especially if people are too coarse and insensitive. While competition can often motivate you to improve your life, the tense air this morning doesn’t seem to lead to anything positive unless you consciously aim to identify areas of anger and resolve them. As the day advances, it’s so much easier to let go. It can be hard to focus, in fact, later today.
Leo
This morning, you may not want to budge on an idea, schedule, or method, dear Leo. In truth, flexibility will help you out more than anything right now. With Mars and Pluto coming to a square, it can be difficult maintaining a sense of proportion, mainly regarding your work or health matters, but backing up is probably best for you to gain perspective or to calm your nerves. A recreational pursuit or a hobby may be just the right distraction now, and as the day progresses, it’s easier to find ways to relax.
Virgo
This morning, a Mars-Pluto perfects, and it’s all too easy to blow things out of proportion, Virgo, mainly to do with fears. There can be resentments emerging now, and a tendency to push for answers that you may not truly want to receive. Use intense emotions and compulsions constructively if you can, possibly through writing or artwork that expresses your passion and intensity. On the other hand, if something simply needs to come out, this can be a time for dealing with frustrations or resentments, messy or not! As the day advances, you may have a complete turnaround of mood as you’d rather not face issues head-on.
Libra
This morning, Mars meets Pluto in a challenging angle, and you may be facing some resistance to getting what you want or accomplishing what you set out to do, dear Libra. You may be feeling resentfulness or a sense that others are trying to manipulate you. Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself, but do it without defensiveness, if possible, for best results. Avoid manipulative tactics yourself, as these serve only to put more pressure on you. If something is frustrating you, be sure to keep a sense of proportion. Mars-Pluto tends to have the effect of exaggerating our fears temporarily. The rest of the day offers you the chance to calm down, unwind, and let go of this intensity. Mental games and diversions can be excellent for you now.
Scorpio
A frustrating problem from the past or an issue that requires sensitive handling can be nagging at you early today, dear Scorpio, with a tense aspect between Mars and Pluto exact this morning. This might motivate you to make improvements, which is an excellent way to handle this energy. You prefer to cut to the heart of a matter and resolve a problem once and for all. Oversee your communications, however, as they may express unresolved tension or resentment indirectly and go over poorly. You may be your own worst enemy now. Do your best to ease and settle your mind. Being kind to yourself may involve letting a matter go, and this becomes easier to do as the day progresses.
Sagittarius
This morning, a Mars-Pluto aspect is exact, dear Sagittarius, and this can serve to pull up an unresolved problem or frustration. You can learn a great deal about yourself and your relationships through the differences you see now, but interactions can be quite intense along the way. An issue surrounding values, money, or questions of ownership can frustrate, or you may be feeling conflicted on an inner level about your feelings towards someone. Temptations to manipulate rather than face a matter head-on are strong this morning, but as the day advances, you’d much prefer to live and let live and carry on without overthinking. The Moon is in your sign all day today and tomorrow, animating your emotions and bringing your attention to exciting personal plans.
Capricorn
Conflicts over who is an authority on a matter, or other such power struggles, are too easy to trigger early today, dear Capricorn, but are not good for anyone involved with Mars in square to Pluto. The tendency may be to resist others’ wishes or to go off on a tangent, which could certainly create some waves. You’re provocative now, perhaps without even knowing it. You might want to tone it down through conscious awareness of how you might be alienating others, or take a light schedule until you’ve worked out what’s bothering you. As the day progresses, it’s far easier to let go of the ego or of issues that only serve to frustrate. It’s a fine day for getting extra rest and time for reflection.
Aquarius
You can be quite compulsive in your thinking early today, dear Aquarius, and perhaps too adamant or stubborn with your beliefs, and this can cause some stress. You might also experience an internal struggle, as a fear may be holding you back from pursuing an activity or challenge that you’re passionate about. Watch that you are not your own worst enemy this morning by saying or doing things that invite adverse reactions. You’re in far better shape personally than professionally just for now. Tonight brings a more soothing, accepting atmosphere for interacting. It’s not especially focused, but this may be just what you need right now.
Pisces
Early today, avoid power struggles with others but feel and attempt to understand any darker matter that surfaces from deep inside, dear Pisces. These things may be undermining more than you know, as they may be driving difficult behavior or could be the source of considerable pressure. The level of commitment in a relationship may be a question now, or conflicts with a friend or lover about a long-term goal or dream may not end easily now. Channel your passion into a collaborative pursuit. As the day progresses, you’re ready to decompress and unwind. Things may not be very much in focus but this may be what you need after focusing a little too hard.

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.
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.
EARTH WEAK
There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
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: NEW MOON
Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on November 19th:
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).
