Horoscope: November 17, 2015

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



Obviously, the disappointing facts you’re hearing about one particular individual will prompt a review of your relationship. Still, make no decisions until you’ve talked things over with them. While what’s said may be true, it’s likely that there’ll be an explanation for this behaviour. Hearing that could change everything.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Strange as setting a schedule for enjoying life’s pleasures seems, it’s not a bad idea. In fact, with both Mars and your ruler Venus accenting this side of your life, there’s a lot to discover. By ensuring you’ve time for this, each day, you’ll be able to explore absolutely everything.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



There’s nothing like a lively of exchange of ideas to learn what others have in mind. However, in the run up to next week’s Full Moon, everybody’s feeling vulnerable. Knowing that, you may want to adopt an approach to those discussions that’s less about confrontation and more about gentle inquiry.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



With both the Sun and communication planet Mercury in your fellow water sign of Scorpio and accenting who and what you care about most, it’s time to talk. Some matters are clear cut and easy to discuss. But those that aren’t are of far greater importance. Make them your priority.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



The time has come to talk over certain tedious but pivotal practical or financial matters. You were hoping you could make the necessary decisions on your own. But with both Venus and hot-headed Mars accenting these, leaving others out of discussions now could result in serious dramas later.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Soon you’ll have to take a tough line with somebody who has a tendency to be slipshod in their habits. While usually this has no impact on your life, in certain matters it’s become an issue. Forget about dropping hints. Tell them how things need to be done, and in detail.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Understanding the confusion you’re facing at the moment will take time and investigation. It began in late August, when Mercury, planet of ideas and communication moved into Libra, then between late September and mid-October was retrograde. It’s time consuming, but you must still deal with the fallout from errors then.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



When you commit to anything, a simple plan or an important relationship, you mean what you say. While that’s a virtue, recent changes could rouse difficult conflicts. Rather than worry, discuss them with those involved. They’ll not only be happy to talk things over, those discussions will be rewarding for everybody.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



Being an energetic but easygoing Sagittarius, you do all you can to avoid both circumstances and individuals that will complicate your life. Now, however, you’ve no choice. Tedious as dealing with these are, and there could be several, the results will more than justify the time and patience you must invest.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Because you carefully analyse decisions, it’s rare that you need to make changes. But now events are shaking things up, which in turn means rethinking plans. Take advantage of this to do a little investigation. What you learn could lead to altering your approach, if not changing your goals entirely.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



Partly, it’s your own curiosity. Equally, you need to understand what’s behind certain decisions others are making. Still, tempting as it is to ask for an explanation, they don’t actually know. Instead, show interest in their conclusions, then allow them to tell you when they’re ready to.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Judging by the influence of next week’s Full Moon and the New Moon, on 11 December, and its accompanying fresh perspective, the ideas you’re considering and plans you’re currently organising should be regarded as tentative, if not a bit of an experiment. The more open-minded your attitude, the better.
