Horoscopes
Aries
You are particularly practical in your mindset today, dear Aries, and you may be able to muster up some real patience so that you can concentrate on priorities now. There can be a sense that you need to give up something pleasurable in order to gain in another area of life, and decisions can be difficult as a result, but they also tend to be final and good for you in the long run. Advice now tends to be helpful and mature. If you’ve been holding on to far-out fantasies, you might feel a little let down now, as there is a tendency for a dose of realism to enter the picture and bring you back down to earth. You may need to pay more attention to educational or travel plans which could require fine-tuning. The good news is that you are likely to have better information to move your plans forward in practical ways. As well, this can be a great time for renewing a commitment to studies.
Taurus
Decisions about financial matters may be necessary now, dear Taurus, and can be long term and/or significant as Mercury and Saturn form an alignment today. It’s a good time for thinking about ways to cut back on excesses. A partner may be strict with you, or you may feel temporarily unsupported, but it can lead to a stronger grip on what’s realistic and where you stand. You can also feel empowered as you take care of your needs quite fine on your own. While there could be some realities to face today, you’re bound to turn a corner and mentally change directions. You can come out of the day feeling far more confident about your plans. This is particularly the case with business affairs and also your feelings about a person or relationship. There may be news or worries about financial matters, but you are more equipped than usual to take steps to improve your situation.
Gemini
Serious thoughts or conversations about relationships are likely to figure strongly today, dear Gemini. There may be decisions made about a relationship or where you’re headed. The practical side of your connections is in focus. You might also make solid plans for a major project today. This is a time for making joint plans, decisions, and commitments. It’s a good time for making progress in counseling or conference situations. You may be feeling a little somber or serious now, but you are also more equipped to take care of practical details. Others may be withholding or strict with you, but if you are forced to face a reality today, you might bear in mind that you’re better off for it, as holding on to unrealizable dreams will not serve you well in the long run. Sometimes others’ criticisms can motivate you to make improvements.
Cancer
This can be a day when you sober up about a particular area of your life, dear Cancer, with Mercury and Saturn coming together helping you to see things a little more clearly. As such, decisions made now tend to be more considered and sensible. Responsibilities have a way of making themselves known today. Certain realities faced now can lead to a freeing feeling of acceptance of things exactly as they are, and commitments made now can work in the long term. Co-workers may be demanding or a little difficult. Concerns about your job can be on your mind today, or criticisms may motivate you to strengthen your position. This is a strong day for renewed interest in handling practical matters, daily affairs, and health and wellness programs. Flaws are especially obvious now, and you can choose to either let them get you down or roll up your sleeves and fix problems. This is a good time to make a resolution or commitment to a sensible diet, health program, or work project.
Leo
Love relationships can have a heavy energy surrounding them today, dear Leo. Commitments may be made or broken – either way, there is no mystery about them! This is a time for clarity of thought and intention. You can be especially contemplative, or a serious issue comes up, especially about romance or possibly children. It’s a time for voicing your frustrations, but be careful that you don’t do this in a negative way that turns others off from helping or supporting you. In fact, constructive solutions to recent problems can be discovered now. There can be a little more seriousness regarding a love relationship or creative project. It can feel wonderful to commit to a person or project or to make an important resolution. You may be thinking up valuable ways to improve your enjoyment of life.
Virgo
You may feel the need to act with authority today, or to be strict and firm, dear Virgo, as your ruler, Mercury, aligns with Saturn. Decisions need to be made about family or home-related matters now. Fortunately, you are in the position to assess issues realistically and with much practicality. You do not want your time wasted and don’t enjoy distractions right now, and you can benefit from honing in on your priorities. If you’ve failed to deal with problem areas, today you will need to face the music. It’s easier today to see exactly how much work has to go into a task, and this makes decisions more straightforward. Having the facts before you helps tremendously! There can be criticisms to deal with, but as a result, you may decide to strengthen uncertain areas, and you feel more confident going forward. Conversations can be serious or businesslike, but constructive. There can be a smart agreement made or you see eye to eye with a partner on an important issue.
Libra
There is good energy with you today for firming up a project or clinching a deal, dear Libra. Distractions can be especially annoying as you have important work to attend to that requires much focus and concentration. Conversations tend to be serious and others may be a little heavy-handed. Sacrifices may need to be made in order to realize a gain, but they may very well be worth it. Although the day requires more discipline than usual and a realistic outlook, if there are ways to be both firm and kind to yourself and others at the same time, you will find them! You are craving results from your efforts now. It’s a powerful time to do editing work and for attention to detail. It’s also a fine time to pour energy into studies and research.
Scorpio
You can benefit from taking a critical look at your finances today, dear Scorpio. Decisions may need to be made, but you’re well-equipped to make them. Circumstances may be such that you need to get serious about or have a good think over money or business issues. The good news is that you are seeing things for what they are, rather than what you would like them to be, and this realism helps you to tackle problems with strength. Be realistic, but not pessimistic. Avoid negative thinking, but do be honest with yourself. You need to tend to your own interests first right now. The more secure you feel now, the better you can share later.
Sagittarius
It would be wise today to take a closer look at personal plans to see where you might make some improvements, dear Sagittarius. Your mind is a little more critical than usual, and you can use this to your benefit. You may present yourself with an air of authority or with seriousness today. While you are likely to gain others’ respect, you may be hiding behind a manner that is quite the opposite to what you are truly feeling, which may be vulnerability. Remember that support may not be forthcoming if you act as if you are just fine without it. If you are feeling a little let down today, keep in mind that your dreams are still possible – they simply need some refinement. This is not the best day for neediness, over the top emotions, or cutting corners. Reason tends to reign, and practical concerns take priority just for now.
Capricorn
Decisions about long-standing problems and the past may need to be made now, dear Capricorn, with Mercury and your ruler, Saturn, coming together in a sector of your solar chart that rules endings and private matters. You can have a strong urge to settle issues that have been left unresolved. You might experience a situation in which the past is catching up with you today. It may be better to keep silent about certain matters now, as there can be a tendency for others to see things in absolute terms and compassion and understanding can be missing just for the time being. However, this can also help you to make practical choices. Avoid over-thinking things, but do aim for self-honesty. Also keep in mind that your words have a little more impact than usual today, and may stick around for some time!
Aquarius
This can be a good time for coming up with very solid, practical plans for the future, dear Aquarius. There can be useful advice coming from a friend or your networks. Discussions with friends can turn to business or can become business-like today. You are interested in long-term, real, and tangible benefits, and shortcuts simply won’t do. Some of you may have the need to be firm with a friend, or someone is unyielding with you. Decisions can be challenging to arrive at, but satisfying once made. An alignment of Mercury and Saturn in your sector of friends, hopes, and dreams suggests it’s a good idea to give these matters further thought and attention. Today is strong for putting together solid long-term plans, as you are seeing the important details and considering your real capabilities.
Pisces
It makes sense to be more aware than usual of what you’re communicating today, dear Pisces, as your words can stick around for quite some time. This is due to a Mercury-Saturn alignment at the top of your solar chart. It’s also important to recognize that people may be taking things at face value rather than seeking out the fine or subtle points. Career projects may be subject to scrutiny, and flaws may be revealed now that need fixing. There can be a criticism to deal with, but after the initial sting, you may very well find the motivation to improve things, if only to protect yourself from further scrutiny! However, this can also be a very valuable time for honing in on flaws and working hard to correct them. It can also be a time when others turn to you for advice or as an authority on a matter.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
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
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
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 lifetime).
