Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries
Aries
Aries
You’re feeling more energetic and hopeful today, dear Aries. Stepping out of your comfort zone comes naturally. You might reach out to others or express a hidden side of yourself. You are more aware of the things that you can bring to the world. There can be times when tension or miscommunications can wear on your nerves today. As the day advances, cooperation improves. With a sincere interest in others, relationships can get a boost. You can feel connected emotionally and spiritually with people in your life today. Connecting with a network can be enjoyable and reinforcing.

Taurus
Taurus
Taurus
Letting your actions speak for you is especially appropriate today, dear Taurus. With Mars in a behind-the-scenes sector of your solar chart, there’s a tendency to put more effort into closing projects or renewal and recuperation. You tend to be more aware of the impact you’re making today with the Moon at the top of your solar chart, sensitizing you to your performance and what others may be thinking. It’s not always easy to escape attention right now. Still, you’re inclined to keep many things to yourself. You’re prepared to get a grip on your priorities, but making time for relaxation can be one of them! Overthinking tends to lead you astray and letting go of it helps you tremendously.

Gemini
Gemini
Gemini
Your head may be in work mode and your heart is somewhere else in spots today, dear Gemini. However, relationships are a little spicier, and exchanges or interactions tend to get you thinking. You might inspire somebody with an idea or a unique perspective on a matter. Shared activities can be motivating. Today’s Moon transit helps lift you above problems as you view your life from a broader perspective. It can stir some restlessness, but with this under control, you’re likely to feel motivated and goal-oriented. You nevertheless need a little space to understand your feelings, and doing something non-routine and refreshing for your spirit makes the most sense.

Cancer
Cancer
Cancer
You’re more inclined to listen and observe today, dear Cancer. Nevertheless, you can feel quite motivated and goal-oriented as some areas of your life seem to be turning around. Your own desires are clearer. It’s a wonderful time for healing as you consider letting go of some emotional baggage or grudges. Generally, stepping back, observing, and processing continues to make sense. The Moon spends the day in your solar eighth house, and you pay more attention to your deeper feelings. If you have some research to do or your endeavors and interests can benefit from some deeper insight or strategy, you’re in particularly good shape now.

Leo
Leo
Leo
The Moon spends the day in your partnership sector, dear Leo, and you can be particularly focused on balance, fairness, compromise, and getting along. Even so, there can be some disagreement between your general need for alone and quiet time and today’s desire for company. While you may not get your message across perfectly through words today, you have a better chance of doing so through actions. You’re listening to others’ input, whether or not you actually use it. Shared activities and ideas can be in focus.

Virgo
Virgo
Virgo
There can be some sensitivity to sharp words or changes of plans today, dear Virgo. As you live less in your head as the day advances, things seem to fall into place. You can enjoy more enthusiasm for your projects and pursuits or your work and routine. You might focus on improvements and doing various chores that help you feel you’re ahead and organized, ready for action. You may need to get over a communication hump, but a sense of forward movement helps fuel you. There can be excitement about a work or research task. A relationship matter seems easier to navigate. Try not to force thinking and let ideas flow naturally.

Libra
Libra
Libra
While there can be some misunderstandings or chaos in spots today, dear Libra, there is a cooperative feel to the day that ultimately pleases you. With the Moon in your solar fifth house all day, you’re the mood for special attention. You’d rather not think too far ahead today, and it can please you to enjoy the moment. Try not to feel pressured to make quick decisions. Relationships feel more straightforward, and you get a sense that things are moving along well. Good energy is with you for bringing a little more excitement to your relationships, although impulsiveness should be watched for. When your emotions and actions work in harmony, which is more likely the case later today, it creates the ideal atmosphere for getting along.

Scorpio
Scorpio
Scorpio
Today’s energies are good for restorative activities, dear Scorpio. You can be somewhat retiring as you take the time to center yourself. You’re likely to feel better about your health, routines, or work and chores these days, and enthusiasm is building. You can benefit from organizing your home or workspace, as it not only is productive, but it can allow you to think and sort your thoughts. It can be useful to get rid of excess, which leads to stress. Your motivation is increasing and enthusiasm strengthening, which leads to more effectiveness. You are looking forward now more than you have been in some time.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
You can feel quite motivated on social and communicative levels today, dear Sagittarius. You’re more confidently reaching out to others in creative or affectionate ways. There can be good news to share or receive. You might also enjoy the chance to get many little things done and behind you. Conditions are good for experimenting with new ideas and relationship possibilities. Writing, entertaining, creating, and expressing yourself come a little more easily, although you may not find it easy to concentrate or focus at times today. You’re inclined to help solve others’ problems. A passion can be energizing, possibly even motivating you to better yourself or to do your best.

Capricorn
Capricorn
Capricorn
Continuing today, you’re drawn to the idea of settling in and getting comfortable, dear Capricorn, with the Moon spending the day in your solar second house of resources. Activities that involve preparing, building, and repairing are also attractive now. Relationships benefit from just the right balance of interest and freedom or emotional space. Allowing your mind to wander can lead to it taking you to all the right places on a mental plane. It’s best not to overthink today. Money and business sense is good, especially if you boldly address or recognize problem areas. You can be excited about taking action or doing something productive related to your personal or home life.

Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Energy is fresh for your studies, projects, and mental interests, dear Aquarius. Things are moving forward. Your enthusiasm is building, and you can very much enjoy the challenges of learning something new. Self-directed activities are favored. If you find that others are defensive of their feelings or personal space, you might decide to save significant conversations for another time. The Moon spends the day in your sign, and with its harmonious aspect to Mars, the desire to act on your feelings is stronger than usual. You can be ardent and creative, and you have personal presence. While you feel slightly more emotionally vulnerable than usual, you’re also resilient. Aim to use your mental courage wisely.

Pisces
Pisces
Pisces
Today’s energies are good for feeling more enthusiastic, dear Pisces. Some level of operating behind the scenes is appropriate with the Moon in your solar twelfth house all day, particularly if you are moving towards a project’s close. Tying up loose ends is favored. You could very well benefit from some personal time and space. It’s not particularly easy to get the repose you need at times today, but tuning out distractions can be worth the effort. Still, your desire to manage your resources is strengthening, and you’re in a good position to sort things out. You can develop some great ideas about making money, doing business, and home improvement.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

 

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on November 20th:

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).
