Horoscope: November 1, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



New ideas or the accompanying changes are no problem. Yet you could still unwittingly ignore or even turn down sudden offers. This is mostly because you’re short of facts. This being the case, make a point of asking a few questions. What you learn will be informative and could alter your thinking.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



In a few days’ time, your ruler Venus challenges the planet of innovation and the unexpected, Uranus. This suggests either sudden changes in existing plans or surprising events will force you to think and act swiftly. Or both. Unsettling as these are, they’ll result in timely new ideas and improvements.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Although the Full Moon isn’t until Saturday, you’re probably already aware of certain of the issues it highlights, simply because they’ve been on your mind for ages. These involve increasingly complex questions about who’s responsible for what. The sooner you define, discuss and work these out, the better for everybody concerned.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



As a sensitive water sign, you’re often more aware of the feelings of others than they are themselves. At the moment, the insights you can offer about the concerns of one particular individual wouldn’t just be helpful, they’d help relieve issues that recently have been a source of major anxiety.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Initially, you didn’t take discussion of substantial changes in elements of your work or lifestyle seriously. It seemed unrealistic and, besides, you’ve no interest in reorganising anything. Yet the more you hear, the clearer it is this could be timely. So much so that, with every passing day, you’re becoming increasingly intrigued.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Don’t be surprised if you’re ill at ease or even worried about certain situations that you usually give little thought to. The problem isn’t the matters in question but, rather, they are in some way taking you into unknown territory. Tackle them now. Once you’re actually discussing them, that anxiety will completely vanish.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



When you made the choice to stick with certain plans but abandon others, you didn’t just make a decision. It was a breakthrough. In the past you’d have struggled to keep things going. Now, you’re more willing, and able, to acknowledge that something simply won’t work out, and call it a day.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



For ages you’ve had certain domestic or relationship issues on your mind. But they’ve either seemed too complicated or you worried that others wouldn’t agree to your plans. Now things have moved to the point at which these are unavoidable. Knowing that, plunge in. The sooner you do, the better.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



A lengthy period of reflection may not seem appealing. Except this one’s not about doing nothing. Rather, it’s about undertaking everything you do, from the smallest task to the most expansive of plans or projects, in a more thoughtful manner. What you learn in the process will revolutionise you thinking, and life.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



If you’re puzzled or even on edge about certain seemingly minor issues, it’s no surprise. These doubts or anxieties would benefit from your attention, as you’ll become increasingly aware between now and Saturday’s emotionally intense Full Moon. The issues you resolve now will enable you to sidestep unnecessary dramas then.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



There’s long been talk of rethinking certain arrangements that are an everyday part of your life, and of those you’re close to at home or in at work. While thus far, you’ve managed to put these off, they’re seeming increasingly inevitable. Times have changed and so have you. At least consider them.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Every once in a while, you become so absorbed in the lives and, often, dramas of others that you neglect your own needs and interests. It would appear that this isn’t just the case, but that if you don’t shift your focus to certain of these personal matters, there’ll be serious problems.
