Horoscopes
Aries

Until mid-afternoon, you continue to be mainly focused on your goals and responsibilities, dear Aries, after which you’re more inclined to seek out pressure-free scenarios as you need a break from more ponderous thinking and planning. You’re craving equality these days, and you’re ready to fight for it if you have to, but another part of you is more concerned with how deep a connection is than the surface dynamics of your relationships. Today, you’re more willing than usual to go the extra mile to improve your connections. This evening is good for finding a comfortable place emotionally and mentally. This can be the perfect time for a break, refreshing read, or new interest.
Taurus

You’re focused on the future and have your sights set high today, dear Taurus. Until mid-afternoon, you’re less focused on specifics and more interested in the big picture. It’s an optimistic time for you. Later today, you’ll crave more details and structures, and your thinking becomes very goal-oriented. You’re in great shape for making plans. You’re especially concerned with keeping the peace and promoting harmony in your personal life and close relationships, but you’re on fire when it comes to work, not afraid to make some ripples if it means you get things done.
Gemini

Today, your emotional frame of mind is deep, profound, and a tad serious until mid-afternoon, dear Gemini, after which you see more value in letting things go and moving forward. You’re especially interested in keeping things harmonious and peaceful in your work or daily environment, but your personal life is a different story right now. In fact, you’re not afraid of fireworks with a lover, child, or friend if this means you’re living authentically and tackling the deeper problems or getting things out in the open.
Cancer

You have an easygoing way with friends and lovers these days, dear Cancer, and you’re intent on promoting peace and harmony with others, but your home life may be a little more fraught or tense as you feel quite driven to make improvements and changes. As such, you can seem like a completely different person to different people in your life these days. This is not about being inauthentic, it’s about having different goals and approaches in different areas of your life. As the day advances, you’re more interested in getting to the heart of a matter than creating surface harmony as the Moon moves from your partnership sector to your intimacy sector.
Leo

You are quick to spar with acquaintances these days, dear Leo, if it means getting to the truth or expressing your opinion, but you’re very focused on creating harmony in your personal life. In fact, you’ll go to great lengths to make peace with family or to create a beautiful, easygoing environment at home. This difference is prominent today. The Moon continues its transit of your work and health sector until mid-afternoon, and you’re focused on fixing problems, after which you’re inclined to want to relax and enjoy some special company.
Virgo

You’re mainly focused on communicating kindly and effectively these days, dear Virgo, and this tactfulness is pronounced today. However, you’re not afraid to stir up controversy if you feel less than respected. In fact, you’re quicker than usual to defend your choices. A continued theme of personal enjoyment and focus on fun and self-expression is with you until mid-afternoon, after which you’d prefer to roll up your sleeves and get down to business. Problems do tend to stick out more than usual, but you’re also willing to do something about them rather than dwell on the flaws.
Libra

You remain somewhat closed in and self-absorbed –bor simply self-protective — until mid-afternoon, dear Libra, after which you feel freer, more confident, and outgoing. In fact, you come out of your shell by evening, and a clarifying conversation may be part of the picture. While you’re often asserting your desires these days, you’re not always upfront with others regarding your feelings, and this can lead to some disconnect which may be pronounced today. Watch for a manner that makes others think you’re more independent or indifferent than you actually are, as this can lead to a feeling that others are ignoring or insensitive to your needs.
Scorpio

You are coming across quite mildly these days, dear Scorpio, but a lot is going on beneath the surface of things, and this is emphasized today. Venus in your sign connects with Mars, which is buried in your privacy sector where no one can see, and your calm exterior doesn’t always tell the full story. You’re sociable and friendly, but you’re keeping a lot more than usual to yourself. The Moon continues to transit your communications sector until mid-afternoon, however, so that you’re quick to respond or connect on a mental level, after which you’re far more inclined to take things easy. This is undoubtedly a day of contrasts, but you’re compartmentalizing well.
Sagittarius

You’re coming on more strongly than usual these days, dear Sagittarius, and few are seeing your softer side or learning of your true feelings on matters with Venus in your privacy sector. At times, this can lead to a few misunderstandings, since much of what you say and do doesn’t necessarily represent how you feel. You can appear more flippant than you are. However, being aware of this tendency is helpful. When you’re expressing something especially important to you, for example, you may have a better time getting your point across if you consciously engage your feelings and warmer, softer side and make it part of the whole package. This evening finds you more conversational.
Capricorn

The Moon continues to transit your sign until mid-afternoon, and you’re quicker than usual to act on your emotions, dear Capricorn. This is a time when you’re seeing life a little more colorfully and meeting the world more directly than usual. This evening, however, you’re ready to settle in and relax. In fact, you need a bit of a break from the drama and crave more predictability. With friends these days, you’re seeking harmony and peace, but in your professional life, you’re a different person right now! You’re not afraid to make some waves if it means it gets you closer to your goals.
Aquarius

You’re inclined to take things easy or keep to yourself with the Moon in your privacy sector until mid-afternoon, dear Aquarius, after which the Moon is in your sign, and you’re ready to start fresh. Listen to your intuition and body signals to rest today, and if it’s possible and appropriate, avoid situations that are too demanding or competitive. You’ll naturally come out of your shell as the day advances. Your public or professional reputation is excellent these days, and if it’s not perfect, you have good opportunities to improve it now. At the same time, you don’t want to be tied down at the moment as Mars moves through your adventure sector, encouraging your spontaneous side, and you’ll find it rather easy to swing both.
Pisces

Until mid-afternoon, you’re in a rather sociable mood, dear Pisces, after which you’re ready to pull back a little to gain much-needed rest, relaxation, or time for reflection. This is a natural progression of the lunar cycle as you prepare for a new cycle to begin in a few days. You’re inclined to express your affections straightforwardly these days, but you’re a little more protective or contemplative when it comes to your desires, frustrations, and plans. This can sometimes work against you as it can lead to small misunderstandings, and this tendency can be more prominent today than usual. However, knowing that you may be giving off mixed signals can help you fill in the blanks when needed.

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.
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.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
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 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).
