Horoscope: November 8, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Being a fire sign, you thrive on changes and challenges, so much, if life’s too predictable, you get restless or bored. Yet now, there’s so much happening you’re on edge. You want a break. Take one, but make it for hours, not days. Within a short time you’ll be ready to go again.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



In mid-October, your ruler Venus moved into the portion of your chart that’s all about various details and obligations. While you’ve got a lot accomplished and organised a great deal during that period, it’s been a bit dull. So Venus’s move to accent close relationships will be a relief and delight.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



The last thing you’re in the mood to do is review elements of your day to day routine or working life. While your fear this will be seriously boring is understandable, with both clever Jupiter and the charming Venus accenting this, you’ll learn a lot and will actually enjoy the process, as well.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



As a Cancerian and a water sign, your capacity to be compassionate about the struggles of those around you is remarkable. However, in one particular situation, you need to pull back if not take a tough line. The individual in question isn’t actually struggling with anything. They love your attention. Enough is enough.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



There’s a fine line between simply putting things off because you don’t want to deal with them and certain of the situations you’re facing. You’re correct in thinking these should wait until other distracting issues have been talked over, and settled. Since that will happen within days, schedule your discussions for early next week.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



At times, you’re your own worst critic. Consequently, you can be highly sensitive, and to even minor comments by others. This has been especially the case recently, mostly because you’re anxious about certain already tense situations. Risky as it seems, discuss this frankly. The reaction of others will be both touching and informative.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



You probably already sense you’re in a period during which good fortune is coming your way, in minor ways and in astonishing situations. In every case, however, this is as much about what you can learn as luck. Bear that in mind and when events stretch you or are challenging, you’ll know why.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



This is a colourful week in a period of exciting change. While you know where some events are leading, you’re less sure about others. You’ll get the reassurance you’re seeking about those that concern you. However, you’ll need to be patient until the 18th, which brings the Scorpio New Moon and its accompanying insights.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Every once in a while you get what’s a sort of brain wave, that is, an idea so exciting you’ve no need to gather facts. You’ll simply plunge in and take it from there. While this approach works perfectly for you, not everybody understands this, which could mean doing it on your own.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Being a determined character, it’s rare that you’ll retreat, whether the battle is at home and with loved ones or out in the world. But as is becoming increasingly clear, not only would it be wise, you really have no choice. Doing so will change your perspective, dramatically and for the better.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



It’s not that you intended to clutter your life with unnecessary or even burdensome friends or alliances. It’s that once they were rewarding but, gradually and over time, you changed and so did your relationship. Consequently, you didn’t really notice. Until now. It’s time to either make changes or say farewell.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



The last minute changes in plans currently being made don’t bother you but will be a source of irritation for somebody who seems to enjoy causing a fuss. Knowing that, tell them you’re very sorry things have changed, and say it once but no more. This will prevent them turning this into a drama.
