Horoscope: November 18, 2016

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



You’re short of facts. There’s no question about that. It’s just that neither you nor others can figure out why certain vital information is so hard to get. The real problem is those who’re in possession of these facts are unaware of their significance. Consequently, when asked, say they don’t know anything useful.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



While nobody would blame you for fighting to keep certain familiar arrangements as they are, your instincts are telling you change is inevitable. While you’re not thrilled with the idea of rethinking things, for ages there’ve been problems and lately they’ve become much worse, enough changes seem the only real solution.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



Sooner or later you’ll need to confront one particular individual about their attitude towards arrangements you thought were meant to be a joint venture. From your perspective, you expected both decisions and duties would be shared. But clearly the individual in question views their responsibilities from an entirely different perspective.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



It’s said contradicting others is rude, but now, it’s essential. It may not be until you actually confront certain individuals about their facts that they’ll be forced to justify both what they insist is true, and those views that are the foundation for their beliefs. What you learn could change everything.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



As a fire sign, you’re happy when the pace is swift and the people you’re dealing with share your zest for life. However, as a way of balancing things, you’re often drawn to the warm yet but slow-moving earth signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Instead of grumbling about them, savour their sensuality.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



You don’t think of yourself as being impatient. Yet when you’re under pressure, as has been the case recently, you tend to be anxious and, worse, take it out on others. Bear this in mind now, and instead of trying to deal with everything perfectly, you’ll adopt a slower pace.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



Nobody needs to explain to you, as a Libra, that balance in life is vital. Yet all too often you become so absorbed in one particular situation or individual you forget everything else. Now that the intense Mars is accenting these matters, they won’t just be on your mind, they’ll be your priority.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



As a Scorpio and a water sign, you’ve a strong sentimental streak. While you cherish the trust time brings to close alliances, questionable actions on the part of others can, and do, trigger anxieties. Instead of brooding, as you’d ordinarily do, ask the individual in question what happened. And be direct.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



When you responded swiftly to somebody’s query, you gave them the best answer you could, at least at the time. Since then you’ve realised you left out vital facts. Don’t make the mistake of assuming the individual in question will discover these on their own. Ensure your information is correct, then update them.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



No sign is better at tackling practical issues. Personal doubts are another matter. And with both the ideas planet Mercury and your ruler Saturn positioned in the most reflective portion of your chart, you’re now facing, and tackling, uneasy feelings of every variety. While it won’t be easy, it’ll be worth it.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



Don’t be surprised if those who’re usually open about both their feelings and their plans are suddenly somewhat secretive. Judging by the powerful aspects involving Pluto, the planet that accents unspoken issues, between now and the end of next week, everybody will be dealing with matters of this nature, including you.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Having seen far too much upset because of pointless disagreements, you’ll usually do all you can to sidestep them. Now, however, it’s the reverse. Not only must you point out where your views or even knowledge differs from certain individuals, you’ll need to stand up to them. They’ll soon thank you.
