Horoscopes for November 8 - 14
NEW MOON ON MONDAY ASTROLOGY
By Adeline Leigh
GENERAL FORECAST
Mercury moves into Sagittarius this afternoon, a sign-change that will turn all forms of communication from the secretive hush of Scorpio to the blunt, boisterous energy Sagittarius is known for. Tuesday may have us all even more worried than usual about the changing state of things around us as the Moon in Capricorn runs smack into Pluto. Push that energy outward. Hard work is the best remedy for taking your mind off things, so this is an opportunity for catching up on as much as you can. This week is the quietest we’ll see for a while. As the weekend approaches, things start to lighten up. Thursday is the perfect day for a long lunch and Saturday night has a stage well set for romantic stuff and dreams coming true. Just make sure you can decipher the difference between real life and fantasy. Next week: Full Moon in Taurus and both Venus and Jupiter return to forward motion.
**If you know your Rising Sign, be sure to read for that too!
ARIES
Mercury’s move into a fellow Fire sign is helping you find your words again, and you’re challenging yourself to get out and take on the world. Finish your work first. The energy points in your favor this weekend but any flirting that happens before then will end up being just a paltry distraction.
TAURUS
Now you can see the forest for the trees. Hardships you’ve been adjusting to lately are all about teaching you invaluable lessons you’ll need in the future. Remember that this week when circumstances conspire to trigger your doubts. Keep moving ahead and you’ll be rewarded this weekend with a very comfortable Sunday.
GEMINI
Two birds. You still have some hard work to get through, but the good news is, it’s the kind you can make work for you as well. Your Mercury ruler’s move into your opposite sign is providing plenty of opportunity for conversation, but don’t get distracted from task before Thursday afternoon, that’s when it’s time to start the celebration.
CANCER
If you’re the kind of person who’s crazy for the holidays, it’s the perfect week for making plans and lists and getting a head start on your shopping. If you’re not, it’s still a good week to start getting that kind of stuff out of the way. Clearing the decks is the best way to quell any anxiety you’re feeling.
LEO
Your own worst enemy. You have the chance to find your ground this week, if that’s what you’re looking for. There are opportunities to create stability all over the place and with Mars, the planet that represents energy and Mercury, the planet that represents communication supporting you from a fellow Fire sign, the stage is set for your success.
VIRGO
Your Mercury ruler moving into a sign that challenges your own means it’s time to start addressing things that are aggravating you. Pay attention to what’s brewing beneath the surface or you may have trouble holding on to your temper in the coming weeks. Say something as soon as you see a problem and try to establish more support than superiority.
LIBRA
The focus for all of us this week is on work, and for Libra, that’s working on an important relationship. You’ll be happily surprised at how willing the other party is to engage in conversation, and even more pleased about where those talks will take you. Next week: your Venus ruler returns to forward motion. Pay attention to the way the subplots are shifting.
SCORPIO
Downtime. Now that Mercury and Mars have moved out of your sign you’re likely to have a bit more time to yourself. Use it wisely. Challenges that present themselves this week are not without their benefits: try to see the upside of whatever comes out of the woodwork. You’re at the very beginning of a very important transformation.
SAGITTARIUS
Here comes the active. Mercury’s entrance to your sign this afternoon is sure to bring new developments in the people you’re spending your time with. Mars, meanwhile, is pushing you to try and do too many things at once. Enjoy the energy but don’t forget about the details. You’ll be launching a certain project sooner than you think.
CAPRICORN
A supportive hand from Mars to your Saturn ruler this coming Sunday is giving you surplus amounts of energy all week long. You’ll also have more room to think, and that’s exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Focus on the small ways you’re changing and the big places those changes are taking you.
AQUARIUS
Free to be you and me. Now that Mercury (the planet of thought) has joined Mars (the planet of action) in copacetic Sagittarius, you’re feeling more like yourself again. You’re never without your idiosyncrasies, the trick is in remembering how they work for you. The Moon in your sign all weekend brings the opportunity to celebrate your new point of view.
PISCES
Forward movement. This week you’re distracted, but not without direction. Keep your eyes on your final destination and remember you’ll get there despite a few detours. Sunday ushers some days of warm and welcome respite: you’ll be picking up the best kind of vibes and feeling certain and determined as Venus and Jupiter prepare to station Direct.
