Horoscopes
Aries
While this is not an ideal day for important decision-making, dear Aries, it’s a fine time for enjoying friendships, sharing, projects, and learning. In fact, with Mars moving into Aquarius and your social sector tomorrow, you’re going to enjoy these themes for some time to come. Friendships are supportive, and you can be excited about working on your projects and goals. You’ll be making more time for personal goals and causes. Even so, today you may be going back and forth on your activities. It can be difficult to focus as you have many competing interests at the moment. The Moon moves into your privacy sector late afternoon, and this signals the need for extra time to yourself for rest and contemplation (or at least, some musing) in the next couple of days. Taking a break from non-stop action and movement is vital now.
Taurus
You are building towards a particularly ambitious period, dear Taurus, with Mars about to move to the top of your solar chart. The weeks ahead are excellent for getting things done and taking care of business. The Moon is at the top of your chart today, and your mind is on your goals, responsibilities, and performance. However, you may be a little premature with decision making or speaking up about a matter right now, so draw upon patience. Try not to succumb to pressure to put something behind you before you’re ready to do so. There can be an easy rapport with someone close to you who is supportive of your goals and desires. By late afternoon, you’re ready to relax a little, and you can benefit from loosening up your schedule.
Gemini
The Moon in your adventure sector much of the day stimulates enthusiasm, dear Gemini. You can enjoy pleasant interactions with others, as well as sharing your bigger ideas and thoughts. By late afternoon, you’re more conscious of rules, restrictions, and the constraints of time. Feeling that others are noticing what you are (and aren’t) doing can light a fire under you to pick up areas of life where you’ve been a tad slack. Tomorrow, Mars moves into your adventure sector, however, and you’ll have plenty of room and space to explore and learn in the coming weeks. For now, taking care of responsibilities helps free you up for fresh experiences.
Cancer
You may prefer to do more observing than acting for much of the day, dear Cancer, at least until late afternoon. This can serve you quite well, particularly if you have some research to do or your endeavors and interests can benefit from some deeper insight or strategy. Tonight, you’re far more likely to want some fresh air, figuratively speaking. You may need to clear your head. Watch today for hasty decisions about a relationship if you’ve left something unresolved, however. They’re unlikely to be necessary, and may very well be regrettable later on. You may be putting unnecessary pressure on yourself. The Pisces Moon from late afternoon forward suits you well and lifts your spirits.
Leo
You are especially relationship-focused today, dear Leo. Much is riding on whether you’re in good company or whether or not you’re in a good place with someone close to you. A particularly active relationship period is ahead of you with tomorrow’s Mars move into your partnership sector. You should watch for last-ditch impulses to handle a work or health matter today, which can be too impulsive if you haven’t done the research. As well, there can be some feeling of deflation if you do not see eye to eye with someone on a matter that is close to your heart. By late afternoon, you’re craving more intimacy or a deeper connection with your work and projects.
Virgo
You’re in a good position to put special effort into your work and routines today, dear Virgo. In fact, you’re heading into a powerful cycle for energized attention to these matters with Mars moving into your solar sixth house tomorrow. You’ll be particularly motivated to get your daily affairs into order. Today, there can be some pressure building that gives you a feeling that you have to make quick decisions, but if you haven’t done the research, it may be best to wait it out. While you may be relying on and keeping things to yourself much of the day, tonight you are inclined to seek out some company and it feels good.
Libra
You tend to gravitate towards leisure or recreational activities now with the Moon in your solar fifth house until late afternoon, dear Libra, after which your practical affairs take priority. With Mars moving into your entertainment sector tomorrow, where it will spend over five weeks, you’re heading into an active period for pursuing your creative interests and personal desires. It’s also bound to be an excellent time for your relationships. Today, watch that you don’t pressure yourself to do too much too soon. Disorganization in your daily routines might interfere with your social plans or could throw off a partner. Look for ways to bring more order to your life once the Moon moves into your work and habits sector late afternoon. This will help free you up for more enjoyable activities.
Scorpio
You are heading into a cycle in which you tend to take charge on the home front and make things happen with family and your domestic affairs, dear Scorpio. Today, you have a stronger sense of family, and you’re drawn to simple, familiar activities for much of the day. You might thoroughly enjoy making purchases for the home or spending extra time creating a more comfortable domestic atmosphere. Mars spends its final day in your communications sector, and it’s important to avoid making quick decisions and speaking too quickly about a matter. The pressure can be real, but you may not be thinking clearly right now. The Moon moves into Pisces and your creative and romantic sector late afternoon, encouraging you to express yourself in playful, creative ways.
Sagittarius
Watch for hasty decisions related to money, impulse purchases, or too-quick reactions to others today, dear Sagittarius. You can have a frustrated response to what you feel is unfinished business, but you might consider waiting things out before deciding how to deal with it. There is good energy for communicating your wishes, however, and for connecting with others in happy ways today. You are heading into a cycle that is particularly strong for speed learning and pushing your projects forward. By late afternoon today, you’ll be craving more time to relax and renew your energy. Family and home life assume special importance now with the Moon’s move into your solar fourth house.
Capricorn
Mars spends its last full day in your sign today, dear Capricorn, and will enter your solar second house early tomorrow. While it’s important to avoid pushing too hard or making impulsive decisions today, you’re likely to feel far more settled in the coming weeks. Today, you’re particularly focused on the world of the five senses, your needs and wants, and your immediate environment. There is some inclination to overindulgence, but you may very well need some self-pampering now. By late afternoon, your curiosity increases and you crave more mental stimulation. This can lead to exciting discoveries and possibly even a new interest.
Aquarius
The Moon continues to transit your sign until late afternoon today, dear Aquarius, and this influence tends to prioritize your emotional needs, after which you are ready to settle in and pay more attention to the world around you. However, Mars is about to move into your sign, so prepare for some high-energy weeks ahead. Where initiative was lacking, you’ll now be clear, direct, and willing to move forward. Today, you might feel some pressure to put a situation or project behind you — perhaps on some level you’re preparing for busy and active weeks ahead and want to be free of excess baggage. However, you may not yet know where you’re headed exactly, making it important to avoid hasty decisions until you do.
Pisces
You’re investing more of yourself into private matters and behind the scenes activities now, dear Pisces, or simply taking a time-out from excessively demanding situations, with the Moon continuing its transit of your solar twelfth house until late afternoon. You’ll be putting more energy into these things in the coming weeks with Mars about to move into this same sector of your chart. There can be special attention to the past and what you may have left unfinished or unresolved. However, the Moon moves into your sign late afternoon today, and you can feel a strong desire to begin anew on an emotional level. You might also be eyeing new beginnings and projects or plans. Try not to push too hard today, however, and avoid hasty decisions revolving around friendships.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on November 8th:
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).
