Horoscopes

Aries 

You can have important insights into your love life, intimate matters, and possibly your own inner workings today. You are reviewing the past with an eye out for the future. The focus now is on growing, improving, and using your resources sensibly. There is pleasant intensity in your relationships and interactions. There could be beneficial information, news, or resources coming to you, and there is quiet authority in your manner. The Moon moves into your sign early afternoon, and some of your emotions that you’ve set aside in recent weeks can emerge now, possibly disruptively, but ultimately to your benefit.

Taurus

Personal appeal continues to be strong today. There can be agreement on broader issues with an important player in your life, or a stronger sense that you’re going somewhere in a relationship. Your own vision broadens with openness to others’ points of view. Other people may seem to be in the spotlight these days, but it’s important to recognize that it’s not about power or control – it’s about honoring your relationships and putting faith in others. Knowing this is the major key to success at the moment.

Gemini

Work matters can be strong now. You stand to learn something surprising but useful about the work you do or the people you work with. You can come to an understanding about, and see the benefits of, sharing power today. There could be subtle gains in a relationship, and some of you could uncover information about an attraction or relationship from the past that helps you in the present. Learning something important about yourself and your own deeper desires and needs is also quite possible now.

Cancer

When it comes to a close relationship, if appreciation is due, it’s a great time to show it. A relationship can bump up to a new level today. There can be a positive “recycling” experience when it comes to old ideas and methods. Putting a new spin on things can change everything, in a good way. Somebody from the past could appear, in the flesh or in the mind, and in some way, this helps you to grow as you look at things differently. Someone might help you out, giving you a much-needed boost of confidence.

Leo

You can be especially reasonable and objective in any discussion that ensues now. Creative power is heightened today. You are able to focus on what you want with few distractions, come up with totally new and fresh ideas, and accomplish a great deal now. You stand to gain deeper insights into your family, work, and possibly health as well. You can solve problems more easily than usual, and others tend to treat you with respect. You might also decide to rid yourself of something that’s outlived its usefulness – it’s easier to part with things now than it might be on another day. It’s a good day for feeling empowered, and for others recognizing your strength.

Virgo

You could find a project that truly absorbs your attention today, and you can make significant progress. This is a fine day for really applying yourself, doing research, making plans, and solving problems. Conversations can be helpful and insightful, or provide you with important clues. You can make meaningful connections with others today. You are good at bringing resolve to problems, at persuading and leading conversations. Don’t be afraid to show your creative side.

Libra

You can discover information that helps you feel more comfortable, respected, or secure today. Getting to the heart of what you truly want and value seems to come naturally right now, and this makes setting priorities much easier than usual. There is decisive energy to the day, and this can feel good. How to straighten out your business or financial matters can seem obvious now, even if you’ve had trouble getting to a solid conclusion until now. Reprioritizing and realigning goals so that they more accurately reflect recent inner changes is necessary. Today is strong for personal magnetism.

Scorpio

You are feeling personally powerful today. You are in a take-charge kind of mood, and others sense and respect your authority on a matter. Your observational skills are especially sharp at the moment. You might take action to correct things that have been making you unhappy. Seeing something through to the finish line helps you to feel stronger and more in control of your life. Improvements made now are likely to be permanent; your willpower is awesome now.

Sagittarius

It’s easier to focus your attention on things that truly matter today. Good energy is with you for recognizing and vanquishing fear by getting in touch with inner faith that you can handle anything that’s thrown your way. You can be extra motivated to do something meaningful with your talents, money, or resources. You are especially astute at recognizing things of value, making it a decent time to make an important purchase, but also to eliminate unnecessary expenses. You might also gain insight into a mystery from the past.

Capricorn

You can be quite persuasive today. You have more influence, and this also means more power, which of course should be handled carefully. This is a good time for cultivating friendships and connections with associates, strategizing on business levels, and taking good care of money/resources. Don’t quickly dismiss feedback, as it can be valuable, even if it’s bothersome at first! If you’ve been overly distracted by socializing and it’s interfering with productivity, you’ll be able to see it clearly today, and you can take preliminary steps to make changes.

Aquarius

It’s a strong day for feeling supported and for focusing on work that needs to get done. Tackle the hard jobs proactively. If you don’t search them out, they’ll find you! Take things slowly but surely in order to benefit from the day’s energy. Some form of recognition is possible now. It’s a good day for restructuring, rebuilding, researching, and recycling ideas and projects, and especially career-related ones. If you’re feeling dissatisfied with the direction your life is taking, you are more likely to come up with a plan to make changes and improvements today than you are to just live with it.

Pisces

If you’ve travelled a little off course in pursuit of a long-term goal or dream, circumstances are such today that you might see where you can make improvements and adjustments. There can also be subtle shifts in a friendship that lead to a strengthened bond. You might be contributing something special to a group or sharing your expertise with associates, and this can eventually lead to advancement. You can be especially persuasive with others today. The Moon moves out of your sign early afternoon, and this can serve to steady your emotions. You’re thinking in more practical terms now.

If Your Birthday is November 3rd, the year ahead brings increased popularity, cooperation, and support. Relationships build and strengthen. If Today is Your Birthday full horoscope here.
