Horoscopes
Aries
Your life is about to become a little less reflective and a little more active and exciting, dear Aries. The Sun will enter your adventure sector and a New Moon in the same sector will occur shortly after, and these events happen tomorrow, breathing new spirit into your life. Today, looking back, letting go, and thinking about what you’d like to accomplish in the future is most appropriate. This is a time to put worries aside and to pat yourself on the back for all of the things you have managed to get done.
Taurus
Partnerships, as well as other’s agendas and needs, are highlighted for you again today, dear Taurus. You’re less motivated to pursue personal plans right now, and more inclined to pursue connections. Today is good for listening, absorbing, intuiting, and reflecting. A New Moon will occur tomorrow morning, and this will bring new power and energy into your experience, but today is for letting go and winding down. Get in touch with what’s in your heart, particularly regarding a close relationship, but also surrounding finances, personal habits, and addictions/attachments, as these things will be getting a lot of attention in the coming weeks.
Gemini
Again today, you are inclined to keep yourself busy, dear Gemini, and you’re especially eager to help others or to be of practical use to them. Focusing on details rather than the big picture is appropriate today – there is a time for broader thinking, and a time for tending to practical details, and the latter is the case today. The goal is to improve your daily life and yourself. A New Moon occurs tomorrow and will bring new energy for one-on-one relationships, making today a good time to think up goals in the relationship department.
Cancer
Make it a goal to enjoy leisure time to the fullest today, dear Cancer. You’re emotionally geared to pursuing your heart’s desire today with the Moon in your solar fifth house all day. Even so, it’s a very good idea to consider what you’d like to improve in your work, health, and self-care programs. A New Moon will occur tomorrow morning, bringing strong energy for taking charge of these areas of life, and while you’ll naturally move in this direction, getting in touch with what you want and need can help get you off to a fresh, powerful start.
Leo
There is a tendency to stick with familiar activities, people, and situations today, dear Leo. A New Moon will occur tomorrow and will put the spotlight on creative and romantic affairs, but for now, some introspection is quite natural and necessary as you get your bearings and find your emotional “center”. You might need to take care of the needs of family members such as a significant other, child, parent, or sibling. It’s a good time to focus on feelings of security and personal needs so that you can feel solid enough to take full advantage of this upcoming creative cycle.
Virgo
Community, network, and neighborly activities can be in focus today. While your social life might step up now, dear Virgo, generally speaking, this is a day for contemplation, looking back, assessing things, and tying up loose ends, as tomorrow’s New Moon will pull you in a new direction for a fresh start. All-new initiatives started today may not get off the ground, so focus on tidying up what you’ve already begun. There will be strong focus on your home and family life in the coming weeks. Lack of clarity in a close relationship may be an issue today, but it’s wise to look within for groundedness rather than to turn to others for direction.
Libra
More than usual, you are emotionally invested in your personal interests, possessions, business, and money matters today, dear Libra. It is, in fact, a good time to invest time and energy into your personal projects and goals, with less focus on pleasing others and more concern for what builds your own self-esteem, within reason of course. The Moon is Balsamic, with a New Moon occurring tomorrow. Entirely new projects should probably be deferred to a later date. In the coming weeks, you’ll have new and powerful energy at your disposal for learning and connecting.
Scorpio
There has been much focus on your personal needs, independence, and personal initiatives in the last few weeks, dear Scorpio, and with the Moon in your sign all day, it’s very natural to tend to your own needs. However, the Sun moving out of your sign and a New Moon occurring tomorrow are helping to shift energy. The Moon is Balsamic today, making it less than ideal to begin new projects, but perfectly fine and even desirable to put a quick end to something you need to let go of. This way, you’ll be able to move forward feeling lighter and happier.
Sagittarius
The Sun transits the last degree of your privacy sector most of the day, making it a good time for reflecting on recent events and for envisioning what you’d like to make of the year ahead, dear Sagittarius. Inner life experiences and sensitivity are heightened all day. Energy may be at a low. You are entering a very busy and visible period of the year, but today is about laying low and getting in touch with your innermost desires and needs.
Capricorn
The morning can be sharp and active, dear Capricorn, but as the day advances, ambiguous energy is with us. If you attempt to define things or follow a rigid schedule, then you may feel let down. However, if you decide to view today as a time for stepping back from the action, and for allowing your imagination free rein, then you can have an enjoyable day – not outwardly productive, but very useful. The Moon continues to transit your sector of friends, groups, and happiness goals or wishes, and is now Balsamic, as a New Moon will occur tomorrow and point you in a new direction.
Aquarius
Today, the Moon continues to remind you of your responsibilities, and to put you in the spotlight in some way, dear Aquarius. You are more noticeable and accountable than usual, and you may be sensitive to, or crave, positive feedback and recognition. Try to find your emotional center today, however, as a New Moon occurs tomorrow . You’ll want to be at your emotional best in order to take advantage of the new energy coming your way that will stimulate a need to take charge of your social life. Visualization techniques and extra time taken for reflection can be helpful now.
Pisces
Today, the Moon is Balsamic, dear Pisces, and the focus should be on taking stock rather than entirely new agendas, projects, or initiatives. With your ruler in challenging aspect to Mars today, this is even more important, as you can be too easily misled. The New Moon tomorrow provides you with energy to push forward with plans, particularly related to the public, career, practical matters, and business. For now, try to use your broader perspective and big picture thinking to envision what you want to accomplish over the next few weeks.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on November 21st:
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 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.
