Horoscopes
Aries
Juno has spent an unusually long time in your solar eighth house, dear Aries. While you’ve had wonderful opportunities to gain new insight into power dynamics in your relationships, Juno’s move into your ninth house can feel like a breath of fresh air. It certainly encourages you to gain more personal power through learning and developing your skills, which will be in focus for several months, augmented by the Sun and Mercury moving into the same sector in the coming weeks. Look for ways to learn and study, not only for personal enjoyment but also for practical advantages. This will please Saturn, who is already in this sector of your chart. You’ll find that your ability to recall and absorb information is strong in the weeks ahead. Today, you’ll need some emotional space and freedom. Although this may feel at odds with your other goals or developments you’re making in a relationship, it’s a pressing need and finding ways to fill it without causing too much of a stir is necessary.
Taurus
You can feel a stronger need for direction and the setting of goals today, dear Taurus, and this can come on suddenly after some time of being quite content without these things as priorities. Try not to fill these needs in abrupt or unexpected ways. Otherwise, your needs are completely valid and taking care of business can be satisfying now. You’ve entered a cycle that is particularly compelling for research of virtually any kind as well as understanding your close relationships and their power dynamics far better. You may be a little difficult if you feel that people are not treating you with respect and equality, and it will be especially important to address areas of imbalance instead of letting the tension build to the point of eruption.
Gemini
Your sudden urges to break free of restrictions, rules, and routines can be a little disruptive today, dear Gemini, and might seem to conflict with goals to get a handle on your work and responsibilities. However, your urges are valid as the Moon transits your sector of adventure, learning, and spirit, encouraging you to explore and be spontaneous. Treat this is as an important break. If you’re tied to a desk or you’re otherwise unable to get away, consider new ways to engage and excite your mind. Juno has spent an extended period in your solar sixth house this year and has now finally moved on. This transit can also help you to loosen your grip on routines and work. In the next few months, you’ll be looking for ways to bring a better balance to a partnership. Inequality simply won’t be tolerated now.
Cancer
While you’ve been taking a rather playful, lighthearted approach to your life recently, dear Cancer, today you’re craving a little more intimacy and attachment. This can cause some frustration, but it’s also a necessary part of your growth cycle, and shouldn’t be ignored. The key is to avoid abruptness, even if emotions come on suddenly. Be patient with yourself and others as much as possible in order to make the transition as smooth as possible. As Venus gets closer to leaving your work and health sector and Juno is now a guest here for several months, it will be less about pleasing and harmonizing, and more about bringing equality and fairness to your work environment. Issues of justice and fairness can emerge on the job. A major key to feeling empowered in the months ahead involves getting a handle on your daily routines, work, and health, as well as improving habits. This agenda works well with Saturn already transiting this sector, working hard at reminding you to work hard!
Leo
There can be a strong need for companionship emerging today, dear Leo, after several days of insulating yourself. Exchanges in close relationships are helpful and rewarding, although you may be expressing your feelings and needs abruptly. Juno has spent an unusually long time in your sector of home and family and has now moved on. You’ve had a compelling need to explore your deeper connections and to build your feelings of safety and comfort, and now Juno is encouraging you to share yourself more fully with others. When it comes to romantic relationships, you can be more invested in what’s fair and equal but with Venus moving out of this same sector in a few days, less inclined to please at all costs. You’ll also be very sensitive to imbalances of power. You can feel particularly powerful, however, as you develop a hobby or creative project in the months ahead.
Virgo
The desire to get a handle on your habits, work, and health can come on strongly now, dear Virgo, as the Moon forms a square with the Sun from your solar sixth house. You can be a little abrupt about this compelling need to get organized if it comes on suddenly or if your life has been particularly chaotic recently, but if you’re aware of the tendency, you may be able to avoid making a scene about it! You’ve entered a cycle that will last several months and encourages a special interest in improving your family and home life, particularly the ways that these things empower you. Power dynamics in your family relationships can be in stronger focus, and you are especially sensitive to imbalances in your home environment. You should certainly watch for a tendency to want to rule the roost. Otherwise, you have plenty of opportunities to set yourself right in areas of comfort and security in the months ahead.
Libra
The coming months are excellent for gaining a feeling of self-mastery through specialized learning and skills development, dear Libra. There has been a rather intense focus on your resources and natural talents this year but now you’re giving your mind and personal interests more attention and importance. The desire to contribute something of value or to specialize and learn a topic more deeply can be strong now, and a major motivation. Today, emotional needs can seem urgent as you suddenly recognize a desire for more creativity and variety in your life, as well as some personalized attention! While you should honor these needs, you and the people around you will be better off if you transition into this smoothly rather than causing a big ruckus, and this can take some patience.
Scorpio
You have been expressing more independence and a stronger focus on personal interests and plans these days, dear Scorpio, but today, you can have a sudden need for more comfort and a sense of belonging. This is due to the Moon in your home and family sector forming a square with the Sun in your sign. Juno has spent a very long time in your sign this year, and while this has brought you in touch with your needs for more power and control over your life, it may have also been draining as you’ve felt compelled to come across as a leader! Now, Juno has moved into your solar second house where it will transit for several months. You’ll want to take charge of money and business matters that have fallen out of view. Feeling on top of your practical affairs will contribute to a stronger sense of balance and personal power.
Sagittarius
While you’ve been doing a lot of keeping to yourself these days, dear Sagittarius, there can be a very sudden need to connect and interact today. Try to express this need as fluidly as possible, or else you may frustrate others who may feel that this is too sudden. You’ve been gathering a lot of power from some level of solitude or through behind the scenes activities recently, but a new cycle has begun that encourages a more visible expression of personal power. You’ll want to take the lead and prove your independence now and in the coming three months. Watch that you don’t put a wall around you in the process, but do experiment with ways to improve a sense that you’re in charge and in control. A desire to reinvent yourself in some way can be strong now and in the weeks ahead.
Capricorn
You’ve been doing a lot of sharing and reaching out recently, dear Capricorn, but today, you can feel a strong desire to keep things to yourself or to attend to your own needs and wants. This is a healthy part of a larger cycle, but you can minimize conflicts and disruptions if you express these requirements smoothly or even quietly instead of abruptly and suddenly. Today can be strong for pulling into yourself in order to gather more strength. In some ways, this process is extended for several months as Juno has now moved into your privacy sector. While you’ve been empowering yourself through your connections to others recently, you now feel a stronger need to build your inner resources. You can be especially productive in activities behind the scenes, and you may seek out some extra silence or time to yourself.
Aquarius
There has been a stronger focus on work, responsibilities, duties, career or performance recently, dear Aquarius, but today, you can have a very sudden need to be valued and recognized for who you are, not only what you do. The Moon in your sign forms a square with the Sun, and emotional needs can take on more importance and a sense of urgency as a result. You’ve also entered a several-month cycle that can find you especially invested in your friendships and sensitive to any power dynamics that seem to be off in your social circle. This is a time for gathering up more strength through your connections to others, and also through your long-term plans and happiness goals. Dreams, wishes, and hopes can be in stronger focus now.
Pisces
In the months ahead you take particular pride in your ability to handle your responsibilities and obligations, dear Pisces. You’ll find that a major key to feeling powerful and in control is through your attention to business, performance, and career. You can be especially sensitive to imbalances of power with a boss, parent, or authority figure. You may want to excel in your work, and you could be in the position to manage and lead, which you take more seriously now. Today, the Moon in your privacy sector forms a challenging square to the Sun in your adventure sector. Your need to tuck yourself away can come on sharply or suddenly and may interrupt plans. However, making time for rest and reflection is important and doesn’t have to work against your other endeavors. In fact, you’ll be able to return to them refreshed if you get the chance to escape for a brief period.

Current Lunar Phase
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 7th:
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).
