Horoscopes
Aries
There can be some emotional impulsiveness to deal with today, dear Aries, and while this sometimes does work in your favor, it has mixed results if you are reacting rather than acting from your heart. Relationships can be touch and go. Past mistakes or wrongs can figure strongly in your mind. Your need for freedom and independence these days is so strong, it may be provoking some tension right now. Find ways to seek more of what you want from your life while also taking care of the feelings of people you hold dear. Later today, you are likely to be feeling pleasantly effective, competent, and ambitious. You are determined, thinking in the long term, and more tuned in to important, practical details.
Taurus
You can feel on edge if anyone seems to be trying to pin you down or if you feel caged in, dear Taurus. Avoid throwing something, or someone, away in a fit of temper, as this feeling is very likely to blow over. Instead, think up new ways to feel free, but to meet your responsibilities as well. People may seem to be quick on the trigger and emotionally reactive. This energy can be used constructively if you need a push to take action on an important matter. Tonight, feelings tend to settle down a little and good energy is with you for tackling a project. Expressing patience and tolerance is important now now for maximum benefit. Productivity is excellent right now.
Gemini
You may not know whether you want to be close to someone or prefer some space today, dear Gemini. Feelings can be up and down. Alternatively, friends and lovers may be unreliable or flighty now. You could be feeling pressured or sense that someone wants a little more from you than you’re comfortable giving. Expect the unexpected today and avoid making quick decisions about matters that require more thought and consideration. If you’re feeling caged in, look for non-disruptive ways to enjoy a sense of being free and independent. Later today, there is steadier energy with you, as well as a feeling that you need more stability. There can be an agreement that comforts you now.
Cancer
The day’s energies can stir up restlessness, dear Cancer, particularly if you feel restricted. The need for some space and leeway is prominent in relationships, particularly with family, but also in relationships on practically all levels, but it’s important to take this freedom in a mature way for best results. Displays and reactions are real possibilities as Venus and Uranus face off, pulling us in two entirely different ways – one towards comfort and partnering, and the other towards independence and freedom of expression. If someone is trying to get a commitment or definite answer out of you, and you don’t totally feel certain about it, defer it to a better time. Later today, emotions tend to settle and practical priorities tend to take precedence. You can be very productive now.
Leo
With Venus and Uranus at a face-off today, dear Leo, it’s better to avoid jumping to conclusions or making dramatic stands until you make better sense out of feelings that emerge now. There is some volatility to the day, as well as a tendency for you to clash with others when it comes to opinions and ideas, or for plans to go awry. Transportation and communication channels may not be reliable right now. You may be excited to start a new project or ready to throw an old one out, but watch that this is not only a whim of the moment. In other words, it’s fine to explore feelings that come on suddenly, but it may be best to wait when it comes to acting upon them. Tonight is strong for tuning in to practical goals and priorities. You may be feeling considerably more settled and goal-oriented.
Virgo
The desire for beautiful things or certain possessions that you’ve been considering is stronger now with Venus in your solar second house these days, dear Virgo. Today, you might find someone opposes you or news comes in that forces you to change your goals. Alternatively, some of you could make an impulsive purchase or decision. However, the best way to use the energy of the day constructively is to find a new way to handle a financial matter. There could also be a surprise in the intimacy department. The trick is to think outside of the box now, as anything too ordinary or mundane will only serve to frustrate now. Later today, you’re more likely to think before acting, and less prone to falling for a whim of the moment. It’s a good time to organize, particularly around the home.
Libra
This is a day when relationships require more spontaneity or freedom, dear Libra, but there could be some tensions stirred up. A close friend or partner could be reactive or rebellious, or might introduce a surprise into your life today. A sense of moving forward could emerge out of a bit of chaos. There can be an unusual attraction or desire that comes on suddenly. There is a practical and patient energy to the later part of the day, and you may be in the position to take the lead in an important matter. You are acting and communicating with a little more authority, and you could find yourself in the position to guide or teach.
Scorpio
People may not be especially reliable in your life today, dear Scorpio, and something may occur that has you questioning a relationship or your feelings about a matter. Changes in schedule might also throw you off now. When Uranus is strong and challenging as it is today, changes and unpredictability can be frustrating, but they can also set you on a new train of thought or a new path that breaks you out of a rut. Later today, you crave some method after the madness, and it’s a great time to get some things done, particularly if it’s about a behind the scenes project or if you have the chance to work without distractions.
Sagittarius
Uranus is strong and challenging today, dear Sagittarius, and the status quo can be interrupted, dear Sagittarius, particularly on social or creative levels. There can be some unreliability to deal with, as well as distractions or changes of heart, but feelings that emerge today may be a symptom of the need for change. Identify which areas of your life have become too routine or predictable, and that are in need of an update or adjustment. Avoid too-quick decisions based on whims of the moment. Later today, emotions settle and you crave some order. This is a very practical time when you can have a strong desire to produce. Others might want your advice now.
Capricorn
Routine or staid elements of your life are harder today, dear Capricorn. There is part of you that is itching for a change of pace, but if you don’t recognize this within you, you might end up stirring up conflict without really scratching the surface of your discontent. Others’ mood swings or changes in plans can be something you’re managing today as well. Try to identify what’s making you feel restless and make a small change, as this can be empowering. You may find it quite liberating to put something behind you or to mix up your routine in creative ways. Later today, moods stabilize considerably and you’re likely to feel very much in charge. This is a time when you can work tirelessly once you find a channel for your considerable energy.
Aquarius
It can be quite difficult to focus today, dear Aquarius, as your attention span may be short, and the same might be said of your patience. News can come in or there may be a change of plans that sets you on a new train of thought or even a new path. Prioritize early in the day so that you can be better prepared for a hectic pace, but also aim to keep an open mind. Sometimes a little change can bring in fresh air and point you in the direction of new interests. Spending time with family or in familiar, safe settings as the day progresses is likely to be especially comforting. There is also very good energy for bringing a little more order and clarity into your life later today.
Pisces
There can be disruptions today that hint at the need to throw away old attitudes and habits, dear Pisces, that have been limiting your growth. You might even decide to get rid of material things or clutter in your environment in order to help the process along. You are a little more willing to take some personal and creative risks, but when it comes to money today, you might be better off keeping a lid on impulsive moves. Whims and sudden desires may be the symptom of a need for change in some area of your life. Avoid quick-fix solutions. Relationships might require extra understanding or people in your life need a bit of space today. As the day progresses, good energy is with you for focusing on a project that’s important to you.

Date & Time: 23 Nov 2015 5:38 pm
Event: Tr-Tr Ven Cpl Jup
Description: Transiting Venus ContraParallel Transiting Jupiter
TAURUS STRONG
Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
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.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on November 23rd:
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 life time).
