Horoscopes
Aries
While the Moon spends the day at the bottom of your solar chart and you need some extra rest, Aries, this can be an excellent time for working at something you love and going the extra mile. You’re likely to discover or rekindle your passion for something (and perhaps someone). There can be new insights into a career or research project, your financial affairs, or intimate matters that genuinely get you ahead of the game. The focus now is on growing, improving, and using your resources sensibly. There is pleasant intensity in your relationships and interactions now — a nice buzz of excitement surrounds you and your activities.
Taurus
This can be another busy day, Taurus, but also a productive and more focused one. You might come to a satisfying agreement on broader issues with a significant player in your life, or a stronger sense that you’re going somewhere in a relationship. Your own vision broadens with openness to another’s point of view. Other people may seem to be in the spotlight these days with lots of activity in your partnership sector, but this isn’t about power or control. Instead, it’s about honoring your relationships and putting faith in others, and the more you live this, the better it is for you now. You might bring a relationship to a new level. This could be subtle, and in fact, works best if it is, but important. Today, look for opportunities to change unsatisfying elements of your life for the better.
Gemini
Work matters can be very strong today and tomorrow, Gemini. You stand to learn something valuable and useful about the work you do or the people you work with. This can also be a fine time to research a job or health matter further and to get reliable results. There can be opportunities for meaningful contact with others. 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 connection from the past that helps you in the present. Learning something important about yourself and your own deeper desires and needs is also entirely possible now. Watch for a bit of a tug of war over money or how to spend it. Otherwise, enjoy a day that may very well take a project or relationship to a new level.
Cancer
There can be a positive recycling experience today when it comes to old ideas and methods, dear Cancer. You’re most interested in taking something to a new level now, and this can apply to a relationship, as well. You can feel as if you come alive with someone now. 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. Look for opportunities to pour your heart into something meaningful and productive. Inner harmony and spirit derived from getting in touch with your more profound needs can put you in a positive frame of mind. You can move forward with creative projects and express yourself more easily and comfortably now. The Moon spends the day in your sign, and you’re drawing attention.
Leo
Creative power is heightened now, dear Leo, with your ruler, the Sun, in harmonious aspect to Juno and then Pluto. You possess the ability to focus on what you want and pour your heart into its pursuit. You’re in particularly good shape for endeavors related to work, health, and home. You might also benefit from a clean-up of excess baggage, emotionally or materially. You stand to gain more profound insights and awareness into something that leads to smarter work methods, better relationships with family, or health boosters, for example. Relationships with people improve with extra attention to mutual benefits. The Moon spends the day in the sign just behind yours, emphasizing the benefits of healing activities.
Virgo
Aspects connecting your communications and creativity sectors today give you a nice boost, dear Virgo, particularly in your romantic relationships, writing, conversations, relationships with children, and creative projects or hobbies. They enhance your ability to persuade and fascinate others and bolster your strength and confidence to express yourself authentically. Projects that are particularly useful to you can benefit from extra attention and focus. In fact, you’re able to hone right in on priorities. A conversation or interaction may take a love relationship to a new level. Meaningful connections might take shape today. You can gain valuable insight into a project or person.
Libra
You’re in great shape for getting a handle on your practical and emotional affairs today, dear Libra. You can be quite security-conscious these days, and today, you’re determined to make yourself feel safer, more secure, and more comfortable. This is an excellent time to pursue a raise or a project that has real long-term potential. You’re inclined to pour your energy, time, and resources into the right things. Solving problems or straightening out past mistakes can be part of this. 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. The decisiveness of a Sun-Pluto connection forming now can energize you today.
Scorpio
The Sun in your sign is moving towards a harmonious aspect to Pluto, your modern ruler, dear Scorpio. This gives you an extra edge. You are persuasive and charming, and also authoritative, fascinating, and engaging. Others sense and respect your authority on a matter. You might solve a problem and make changes that are positive and have long-lasting significance. You may decide to break a bad habit or put a difficult situation behind you, as your willpower is incredible now. Seeing something through to the finish line helps you feel stronger and more in control of your life, and this is a great time to direct your attention to something especially meaningful to you. There can be a burning desire to renew, refresh, and change your life for the better, so take advantage.
Sagittarius
You’re in a good position to identify your priorities today, dear Sagittarius, both on practical and emotional levels. Today holds quite excellent energy for focusing your attention on matters that honestly matter! You’ve recently become more aware of your fears and vulnerabilities, and today, you seem to have all the necessary tools for overcoming them — even in small ways — as you get in touch with inner faith that you can handle pretty much anything thrown your way. You may be pumped up to do something useful or meaningful with your resources, money, or talents today. As you can see the value of things more clearly, it’s a generally good time for purchasing, but the real value of a Sun-Pluto aspect influencing the day is seeing where you can make more of less or eliminate the unnecessary, such as redundant expenses or extra clutter that’s weighing you down.
Capricorn
Today is strong for using your personal power for good, dear Capricorn. You instinctively know what works and what matters, and you can arrive at a point, conclusion, or decision readily. People may be turning to you as a leader of sorts, particularly friends and business associates. Aim to tackle projects that mean a lot to you or that require extra concentration and commitment. You could be drawn to activities or situations that test your strength, and you might be feeling especially interested in proving your mettle or perseverance if only to yourself. This is a good time for cultivating friendships and connections with associates, strategizing on business levels, and taking good care of money and resources.
Aquarius
Today is excellent for getting rid of things you don’t need, dear Aquarius, with the Sun and Pluto coming to a harmonious aspect. Clutter can keep you from feeling clear and focused, and this includes the clutter in your closets, desks, or around the home, and the unfinished business you’re holding onto on an emotional level. You’re now in a great position to clean up on both material and psychological levels. It’s also a fine time for drawing upon experience to benefit your projects or career. A reputation boost is a possibility, and it’s more likely to happen for things you’re doing without fanfare. Focus on 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 accept it.
Pisces
You’re in a more powerful position today, Pisces, both on social and learning or mental levels with the Sun and Pluto connecting harmoniously. This can be a powerful day for learning and discovery, and perhaps a new level of relating with a friend can be reached. If a relationship is no longer supporting your growth, change is necessary, and you can be quite interested in changing things from the ground up. Pluto doesn’t count superficial efforts and band-aid fixes. This is a time for digging deep. It’s a good time for those who are studying, as you might learn something valuable, and for those pursuing a personal interest, as you may take it to another level. You might be contributing something unique to a group or sharing your expertise with associates, and this can eventually lead to advancement. You can be especially persuasive with others today.

LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.
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 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).
