Horoscope: November 23, 2015

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



It’s out of character, but with your ruler Mars in your opposite sign of Libra, crucial issues must be left to others to deal with. Tempting as it is to get involved, you’d soon regret it. Ironically, those who’re looking after these matters are better equipped to handle them than you are.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Planning much needed changes in elements of your daily routine or working life is one thing. Getting others to cooperate will be another matter. Explain your thinking, then give them time for reflection. This requires patience but will lead to exactly the variety of constructive discussions necessary to reach an accord.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



You’re up against it. Having sidestepped various tricky issues with a combination of wit and evasion, these must now be faced and dealt with. Much as you dread this, once you’re actually discussing them frankly, it will not only be a relief, you’ll realise they’re not as bad as you feared.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



For ages you’ve intended to reorganise elements of your daily routine or working life. But not only have you been distracted by other matters, you’ve been unsure how to deal with those changes. Now events decide for you. Go with the flow. This may seem weak but it’s the best approach.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



The fact that the Sun and ideas planet Mercury have joined stern Saturn in accenting love and life’s pleasures may not seem like good news. But actually, this is prompting you to begin a timely review of certain activities and even alliances that aren’t as rewarding as they once were.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Although there’s been talk of altering elements of your domestic or working life, changes in circumstances have prevented decisions being made. While the actual situation in question is no more settled than before, those decisions can’t wait. Make them, but in such a way they can be revised when necessary.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Few things upset you more than unfair situations. Although you’d have good reason to try to right a recent particularly unjust matter, it would be unwise. There are certain facts of which you’re unaware. Do nothing until you’ve learnt about all the shenanigans that have gone on in the background.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Judging by the recent clash between the usually diplomatic Venus and your ruler Pluto, you’ll be upset by the unfair or perhaps underhand manoeuvres of others. While it’s possible their behaviour was as bad as it seems, do something out of character and ask. What you learn will surprise you.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



With the Sun and ideas planet Mercury both finally positioned in Sagittarius, you’d think the issues you’ve been facing would be clearer. However, with both heavenly bodies facing challenging aspects to tough Saturn and the planet of vision but also deception, Neptune, it’s unlikely things will be as straightforward as you’ve hoped.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Sometimes misunderstandings are exactly that. However, judging by the current planetary setup, what seem minor clashes are actually the tip of the iceberg. Ask a few diplomatic questions and you’ll realise these issues have been brewing for ages. Better yet, take advantage of this opportunity to tackle them head on.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



Contending with unexpected events is one thing. But being let down by those you’re relying on is quite another matter. Judging by the coming days’ tricky planetary activity, there’s no avoiding problems of this nature. Bear in mind, however, others are struggling with unexpected developments, and can do little about it.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Having suffered the pain of being disappointed in the past, you struggle to keep your commitments. Yet judging by the changeable nature of the period between now and the end of the month, things are unlikely to go as planned. Tell others that now, so they can prepare for the unexpected.
