Be prepared for a weekend of ups, downs, and a wild ride in general. Mars decides that working harmoniously with Saturn — via a supportive, 60-degree link to Saturn (3:58AM) — is better than being angry and contentious. This Mars-Saturn rapport can help you be more hands-on and pragmatic with key business matters. A wave of productivity follows — due to Ceres making an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Jupiter (4:32AM). However, this positive Ceres-Jupiter aspect is somewhat neutralized by an off-kilter, 150-degree tie from Ceres to Neptune (9:13AM) — a contact that can temporarily increase nebulous thinking and behavior patterns. Fortunately, just 24 minutes later at 9:37AM, the Moon in Aquarius makes its monthly union with Juno — offering emotional empowerment in your primary partnerships. Plus, this Moon-Juno link-up favors your exploring the latest styles influencing the fashion realm. Despite some of today’s haziness, antique hunters and collectible aficionados can delight in searching for overlooked treasures at estate sales and art fairs as Mercury approaches a flowing trine to Neptune (forming exactly at 1:36PM). This Mercury-Neptune rapport can boost your psychic abilities and creative imagination. Pallas entering Virgo (4:18PM) places a renewed focus on problem-solving via fine-tuned analysis, meticulous study and extensive research. The arrival of the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (9:58PM and activating 18 degrees of Scorpio and Aquarius) is a signal to cut through apparent obstacles blocking your path. Strive to manage your business affairs with greater finesse. Adding an extra note of uncertainty to the late-evening environment is that this First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase also begins a 20+ hour void-of-course lunar cycle that lasts until 6:37PM tomorrow. Mercury is about to turn direct tomorrow and will do so at 1:15PM on Sunday during the void lunar twilight zone. Why the universe puts humanity into these strange circumstances beyond anyone’s personal control remains unknown. Hang in there overnight and keep hope alive. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Magick Is Not To Be used To Gain Power Over Others
MAGIC IS NOT TO BE USED TO GAIN POWER OVER OTHERS.
Magic is a technique used in developing your own ‘power from within.’ Spells that are directed at gaining power over others weaken the ‘power from within.’ Aside from the damage done to oneself, it is important for another reason. Many people who do not understand the laws of magic are afraid of being attacked magically and are given to paranoia.
The witch’s main stock-in-trade used to be removing a competitor’s hexes
and preparing charms to protect their clients. While true psychic
attacks are EXTREMELY RARE, a person’s guilt makes up for any lack,
and after using ‘forbidden’ help, their paranoia leads them to seek
protection from the same person they just turned to in desperation.
Do yourself a favor, and resist the temptation to ‘help’ these types.
Most magical formularies consist of formulae gathered and tested by
witches as well as many charms to protect the common man from those
same witches who sold them their charms.
Your Charm For November 8th is Virgo the Virgin
Your Charm For Today
Virgo the Virgin
Today’s Meaning:
This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is modest, shy, meticulous, reliable, practical, diligent, intelligent and analytical. This person may be a leader of some kind where you are employed.
General Description:
Sixth sign of the Zodiac, Aug. 24th to Sept. 22nd. Ruled by the planet Mercury; correct metal, Silver. Those born under the influence of Virgo were supposed to be painstaking, efficient, ingenious, methodical, sensitive, studious, restless, rather irritable, but slow to anger. The Virgo gems are the Cornelian and Sardonyx. The Cornelian has always been a favourite talisman in the East. The Chinese had great faith in its supposed medicinal virtues. In Egypt used as a protection from every kind of evil; in Turkey and Arabia engraved with a verse from the Koran, and worn as an amulet for eveil eye, the plague, and every from of sickness; in Spain for courage and eloquence.
Your Daily Horoscopes for November 8th
Something is odd today as otherworldly feelings linger from yesterday’s fantasyland excursion, stirring up the winds of fate. However, the steady Capricorn Moon ensures that we can keep our feet planted firmly on the ground until 6:29 pm EST when she shifts into quirky Aquarius. Unusual rumblings grab our attention and, perhaps, snatch the reins of control out of our hands. However, we don’t give up easily and may overcompensate on the rebound.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You are poised to catch the wind to points unknown today, but at least you can tell which way the breezes are blowing. Nevertheless, once you’re soaring, you might discover that the currents aren’t quite as stable as you first assumed. But coming down isn’t as straightforward as getting airborne. Relax and enjoy the ride, even if you no longer have a clue as to where you are going.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Although your well-known determination may not be enough to guarantee your success, you still have high hopes for reaching your goals today. Rather than relentlessly pushing toward a singular destination, pay attention to what’s being revealed by the changing circumstances. Remember, it’s more important to remain light on your feet and willing to switch direction on a moment’s notice than to doggedly drive toward an objective that no longer makes sense.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Another person’s idealistic approach could open your mind to a whole new way of looking at things today. Fortunately, you are very receptive to what is being said and something you discover now can have a lasting impact on your life. It’s like you are being supplied with a missing piece of data that enables everything to fit into place. Although you are learning about the truth, spending a few more days gaining perspective might just prevent you from jumping into a situation you don’t yet fully understand.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
The hold that someone has over you is reinforced today by the authoritative Capricorn Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Partners. But events can take interesting twists and turns, shifting the center of power from others to you. Nevertheless, tread carefully; being in control isn’t as great as it appears to be. If possible, find a supportive copilot so you don’t have to do all the work on your own. Sharing responsibilities lightens the load and increases the joy for everyone involved.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may have many wonderful ideas today, but they aren’t necessarily very practical ones. Your irrepressible idealism is the driving force behind your current creativity now, but it could also lead you astray. This isn’t the time for idle daydreaming. You must take action, even if you’re not yet sure of your goals. Trust your instincts and have faith that you’re heading in the right direction.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Establishing objectives in your personal life now is as important as creating them within your career. If you don’t have any specific goals, you’ll just flounder around aimlessly without direction. Don’t be a casualty of your potential professional success; your life will be more meaningful if you can find a healthy balance between your job and your family. One cannot live on bread alone.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
The overall spiritual buzz today is kind of cool, but it can be tiring to keep your mind on the more ethereal side of life. The Moon’s evening entry into conceptual Aquarius feels like a breath of fresh air, but you can’t help but think that something strange is going on. Don’t succumb to self-doubt when wondering if your perceptions of the dream world are actually valid. Just live your life knowing that your visions are as real as you allow them to be. Believe in something with all your heart and it might just come true.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You could have big plans involving your friends today. Maybe you are considering a trip or making final arrangements for a social gathering. But there are subtle influences now that can make your choices more complicated, especially if you don’t fully understand how all the pieces fit together. Take your time and get everyone’s opinion first; the need to hurry is more arbitrary than you realize.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You could have big plans involving your friends today. Maybe you are considering a trip or making final arrangements for a social gathering. But there are subtle influences now that can make your choices more complicated, especially if you don’t fully understand how all the pieces fit together. Take your time and get everyone’s opinion first; the need to hurry is more arbitrary than you realize.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You appear to be straightforward in your actions and true to your words yet there’s still more going on today than reaches the surface. Your friends may jump to erroneous conclusions, but their false assumptions are easy to fix once they are out in the open. However, problems might arise if something is left unsaid. A bit of honest feedback on your part can help, but don’t belabor your point. Share your advice and move on.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
If you are keeping a secret you may make a big fuss about something unimportant now just to distract everyone’s attention from lingering on the real deal. But you can only play the shell game for so long because it drains too much of your psychic energy. Consider what emotions might be stirred by sharing your vulnerability. Don’t just blurt out your truth without having a sensible strategy that leads to healthy closure. Finding the right person to trust is your key to success.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You are probably quite social today, yet your interactions with others could take you in a totally unexpected direction. However, you don’t want to let go of your personal goals. Ironically, the more it appears that you are in control, the greater the gap between your expectations and reality. Trusting in the process is always a smart idea, but it will require focus and follow-through to make your dreams come true.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your actions at work have been pretty transparent recently because your objectives are clear and you’re determined to get what you want. But the Moon’s shift into your 12th House of Invisibility today increases the level of complexity to what you’re doing. Be careful; sending mixed signals can become a hazard if there’s something that you’re trying to hide. It’s safer to be honest and let others know what’s on your mind

Your Charm for November 6th is Libra the Balance
Your Charm for Today
Libra the Balance
Today’s Meaning:
This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is diplomatic, urbane, romantic, charming, easygoing, sociable, idealistic and peaceable. This person is someone you know socially.
General Description:
Seventh sign of the Zodiac, Sept 23rd to Oct 24th. Venus is the ruling planet; correct metal, Copper. Those born under Libra’s influence were supposed to be affable, courteous even tempered, painstaking, and with marked perceptive qualities. The Libra stones are the Opal, Chrysolite and Sardonyx. To the ancients the Opal was the Stone of Mystery its flashing and glowing rainbow hues suggested occult powers, and it was regarded as sacred in the East. In India it was believed to strengthen the mind and clear the brain; in Greece to give the wearer the power of prophecy and foresight, and during the 14th century used for strengthening the eyesight.
Your Daily Horoscopes for November 6th
We may worry that our most sincere efforts won’t be recognized today. Or, perhaps, new responsibilities are limiting our freedom of movement as the radiant Sun is cooled by its conjunction with restrictive Saturn. Our good intentions can run into walls of resistance because this awkward planetary combo fosters self-doubt. However, we’re willing to work diligently to get what we want once the Moon shifts into ambitious Capricorn at 4:43 pm EST.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your natural inclination is to race through a task so you can hurry on to the next one. But today you can appreciate the benefits of slowing down and sticking with a job all the way through to completion. Accept any delays as a part of the process and stay focused on the project at hand, even if you wish you were doing something else. Your persistence will be rewarded sooner than you think.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
If you’re not willing to take responsibility for your behavior today, someone else could do it for you — but at a price. If others do come down heavily on you now, your first impulse may be to blame them for complicating your life. Even if they just want to help, it’s difficult to respond positively to their criticism. Nevertheless, you still might not be able to avoid the fact that you need to change your ways. Your willingness to learn a necessary lesson alleviates the pressure and improves the dynamics.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Although you have obligations that demand your attention today, it’s not necessary (or even wise) to forego all pleasure. In fact, making a bit of time for structured play — like going outside for recess when you were a child at school — might be exactly what you need to be more productive. But don’t just take off when you feel like it; instead, create a schedule and stick to it for the best results. Balancing work and play is key.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
It’s relatively easy to keep your thoughts to yourself today. Even if you have a very definite opinion, it may be nearly impossible to talk casually about your current plans. If you end up sharing what’s on your mind with someone else, you still might feel misunderstood. There’s no reason to question your own point of view just because others don’t understand your perspective. Trust your common sense; it won’t steer you wrong now.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You might find yourself drifting down Memory Lane today, thinking about how a previous failure could negatively impact your current life. Your nostalgia can remind you of how you fall short of your own lofty expectations, turning a minor setback into a more serious one. Thankfully, you are not a slave to your past. Rather than letting old fears limit your choices, move beyond your personal history and do something brilliant. There is no one to stop you but yourself.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Don’t be satisfied with maintaining a comfortable distance between you and an acquaintance today. Bringing up a sensitive topic can transform a casual friendship into something more meaningful. Today’s Sun-Saturn conjunction occurs in your 3rd House of Communication, making this an ideal time to tackle a difficult issue. Remember, following frivolous desires only distracts you with trivial information, so pick a subject that is practical enough to improve your relationship in a positive and lasting manner.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Sometimes you find it challenging to make a final decision because you naturally see the pros and cons to each and every possibility. However, you can narrow your field of vision today, enabling you to focus your intentions on whatever you decide is most important. Concentrate your energy on accomplishing a task that makes you feel good about your work. If you start to think about something you did wrong in the past, consciously switch your attention to what you can do right in the present.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Reality may have an obstacle or two to place in your way now, as the Sun joins Saturn in your magnetic sign. Consider the extraordinary pressures you have encountered since Saturn entered Scorpio last year to determine what lessons you can learn from this hard-nosed planet. Awareness is crucial; fortunately, understanding your role in what’s currently happening empowers you to push through to the other side and plant the seed to create something significant.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You could exhaust yourself as you vacillate between overly optimistic thinking and an accurate analysis of the facts — especially if you can’t tell which is which. You might overcompensate by acting as if you know more than you actually do. Instead of pretending you have all the answers, just ask for help. Usually, you are the one cheering others on, but now it’s your turn to lean on someone else for a change.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You are more realistic than ever as you make plans for your future because the Sun is forming its annual conjunction with your key planet Saturn. However, as the energy crystallizes in your 11th House of Long-Term Goals, Saturn can also bend your thoughts toward negative thinking. Don’t give up; fortunately, your critical analysis enables you to make improvements to a current project if you’re willing to act on your conclusions with a positive attitude.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
If you experience trouble at work today, don’t simply assume that you did something wrong. Instead, look at the resistance you face as a lesson from the universe. Even if your original attempt was not met with much enthusiasm, you have an opportunity now to improve on what you did and then try again. Don’t give up on your goal; instead, work even harder to prove that you deserve it.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Setting a goal can mean serious business today, because you won’t be able to easily change your mind once you make a decision. Whether you are considering a new residence, job or school, it’s crucial to take your time and think through all your options before choosing what to do next. But merely knowing that you’re capable isn’t enough. You must resolutely overcome your own inertia and take action, however small it may seem.
Jupiter Retrograde (November 7th)
Jupiter Retrograde
Seek inner wisdom as giant Jupiter spins back
Tarotcom Staff on the topics of retrograde planets, Jupiter, cancer, astrology
Enthusiastic Jupiter, the happy-go-lucky planet of expansion and growth, slows down and turns backward in the sign of Cancer just after midnight on Nov. 7, 2013, lasting until March 6, 2014.
During this time, we may not feel as optimistic about things, and our plans to tackle big new ideas or endeavors will slow and perhaps stall. But Jupiter is a philosophical planet, so we can still use this time to contemplate our beliefs and expectations, and re-examine where we’re headed.
We all have inner wisdom if we take the time to listen to it, and Jupiter Retrograde encourages just that: Take a time out, slow down and listen to your inner voice. What is it telling you to do? It should be easier to hear now.
Do you like your job? Are you happy in your relationship? Have you been fooling yourself about something? Jupiter Retrograde asks those kinds of questions, and gives you more than three months to think about the answers before going direct.
Even while retrograde, bountiful Jupiter wants to help you figure out how to grow and change and become the best version of yourself. Use this time wisely — it’s a gift!

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, November 5th
We might have plans to do something fun, but obligations take precedence over pleasure today. The cavalier Sagittarius Moon stimulates adventurous fantasies and lofty dreams, but we’re anchored by circumstances beyond our control. However, upon closer examination it’s apparent that we made the choices that have led us here. Oddly enough, we begin to look forward to fulfilling our commitments as desirous Venus enters responsible Capricorn.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your emotions are flying all over the place today as the evocative Moon’s visit to exuberant Sagittarius accentuates your impulsive reactions to whatever is happening. However, your moods are inconsistent now and others could tire of your changing needs. Don’t push your luck. You might just get what you want if you know when to quit. But if you expect too much, you may be left unsatisfied. Ultimately, the choice is yours.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You may be more concerned with fulfilling obligations to others than enjoying yourself today. Your key planet Venus enters dutiful Capricorn, requiring you to set aside your desires for immediate pleasure. Fortunately, it’s easy to postpone gratification if you believe that waiting will increase your overall stability. Make your decisions carefully now; the more time you spend considering your options, the better the outcome.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You don’t want to do what everyone currently expects of you, but this isn’t an ideal time to express your true feelings and rebel against the status quo. You might think you can just skip an activity that you prefer to avoid now, but your retreat won’t go unnoticed and could create unnecessary ripples. Save your great escape for another day; just be responsible and hold up your end of the bargain today if you want others to do the same.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Your resistance may be futile as you’re dragged out of your shell today no matter what you do. Although you’re tempted to go to great lengths in order to protect yourself from being judged, you’re better off softening your defenses and interacting lovingly with your friends and family. Keeping things real is more important now than avoiding your emotions just because they are inconvenient or scary. Open your heart and let love in.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Your inspirational perspective is contagious today and your positive attitude is appreciated by your coworkers. Nevertheless, there is a mysterious brew of complex emotions in your world that could compete with one another. Don’t be too quick to choose sides now or your rigidity will only add to the chaos. Make a choice if you must, but avoid attaching yourself to a specific outcome. Ultimately, happiness comes from within.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Steering clear of authorities might be the key to making this quite a memorable day. However, you could inadvertently say or do the wrong thing, thus provoking an unnecessary battle for control. If you are sincere in your intentions, you should be able to avoid getting into trouble with someone who is in charge. Forget about showing everyone how powerful you are today; instead simply focus on creating harmony.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Apparently you’re not in control now, even if you thought you were running the show. The fact is that someone else may be the real authority, even if he or she isn’t around to oversee things. Nevertheless, it’s up to you to take charge of your own life. Thankfully, self-discipline is easier for you when your key planet Venus is moving through calculating Capricorn. Carefully observe what’s happening, but don’t try to alter the dynamics.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You know that you can do everything that’s required of you today, even if your confidence is waning a bit. Ultimately, you come through for one good reason: you know that someone is counting on you. You’re highly motivated to push up against your limits and exceed everyone’s expectations. Go ahead and show others exactly what you can do, but don’t judge anyone else too harshly just because you are accomplishing so much.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Managing your self-esteem may be a real challenge for you these days. Luckily, there are some fairly straightforward things you can do to keep yourself on the right track now and eliminating unnecessary activities should be at the very top of your list. It’s far better to have fewer tasks to do and more time to get them done. Be smart and create realistic goals to set yourself up for success.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Although you could have your fair share of impulsive moments today, nothing is gained by letting your need for instant gratification run away with your day. Responsibilities are weighing heavily on your shoulders and as much as you can support the weight, you’re also watching for quick escapes throughout the day. Your commitment to doing the right thing grows stronger now that sweet Venus is visiting your practical sign. Thankfully, taking the higher road is enough to get you through these days without creating unnecessary trouble.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You don’t want to be seen as the responsible one today. And although you would prefer just being part of the crowd, you might begrudgingly take the lead so you can make sure that everyone has as good a day as possible. You are quite deliberate in your overall approach now, even if you appear to be footloose and fancy-free. Pay attention to how you are being perceived because your strategy could backfire if it looks like you aren’t being serious enough.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The idea of being a member of a larger group is quite appealing to you now that resourceful Venus is entering your 11th House of Friends. You seek stability and meaning from your interactions with others, but your need to express your own beliefs could create problems with those who disagree with you. Minimize conflict by temporarily downplaying your personal proclivities. Make today about team spirit and not your individual needs.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 5th
Are you sensing a strong shift about to occur and don’t know what it is? You may be tuning into the annual Sun-Saturn conjunction in Scorpio that occurs on Wednesday morning as well as Jupiter’s virtual station and reversal in Cancer that happens on Wednesday night. With the two largest planets in our solar system — Jupiter and Saturn — making big news on Wednesday, many inspired members of humanity are already picking up on the potent vibrations ahead of time. Before confronting whatever Jupiter and Saturn have to offer you — particularly on the business and professional fronts — it is wise to deal with more immediate matters as Venus enters Capricorn (12:44AM this morning). This is an unusual Venus entry into a new zodiacal sign because Venus will remain in Capricorn until March 5, 2014. Normally, Venus spends 3 to 4 weeks in a sign — not 4 months. However, Venus is poised to slow down in its forward motion in December, stopping and going into reverse on December 21, 2013 and staying retrograde until January 31, 2014. Venus in the tenth sign of the zodiac can provide some benefits for traditional approaches to making business deals provide rewards over the long haul — although expecting quick results is foolish. Energizing professional aims, as you keep climbing your personal mountain toward worldly achievements, is a key theme of Venus spending 4 months in earthy, industrious Capricorn. Keep your mind open to flashes of genius as the Moon in Sagittarius makes a harmonious trine of 120-degrees to Uranus in Aries (3:39AM). Be more cautious and careful starting at 8:49AM when the Moon squares off with Mars — starting a nearly 29-hour void lunar uncertainty zone in Sagittarius that lasts until 1:45PM tomorrow. Stay as mellow as possible during this long lunar time-span, enjoying plenty of R and R and not trying to push your personal agenda or conduct arm-twisting maneuvers with colleagues or loved ones. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, November 4th
We are still being challenged to keep our spirits high with four planets visiting the hidden realms of Scorpio. We are continuing to process our feelings about the big chances that have begun to unfold in our personal lives. Yesterday’s Scorpio Solar Eclipse may have been a wake-up call that requires us to delve into things that we don’t fully understand. However, optimism returns once the Moon flies into inspirational Sagittarius at 3:14 pm EST.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You have entered a mysterious passageway that leads to unfamiliar territory, a place where reason doesn’t always give you the practical answers you seek. However, it’s time to push forward with your agenda anyway, even if you don’t yet fully understand the deeper meaning of current events. Operating on faith works for a while as long as you take the time to integrate your emotions with your thoughts. Exploring the unknown reaps rich rewards.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You may have to work closely with others today, even if you prefer to be on your own. You can’t simply withdraw because it seems as if everyone wants you involved with what they are doing. Even if relationships aren’t easy now, they have a lot to teach you. Express your feelings and then stick with the process. If the dynamics become uncomfortable, just remember the situation is temporary and the energy will shift soon enough. Lead with your heart and the rest will follow.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Someone may bring good news today, yet there’s more to it than first meets the eye. A discussion with the messenger can grow more complex if you have the courage to delve into a serious conversation. It’s tempting to avoid an intense interaction, but you’re better off knowing what’s happening beneath the surface before you become more involved. Narrowing your focus offers more benefits than just accepting whatever comes your way. Your power of discrimination can save the day.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Memories flood your mind and put you in touch with previously forgotten feelings that can rush back into your awareness today. It may be challenging to concentrate on meeting your current responsibilities since old desires are reawakening and you can’t get them out of your head. Don’t worry if your chores slip a bit; take advantage of the potential opportunity for personal growth while the positive energy is present. Remembering your past helps you envision the future.

You may be at the top of your game now, eager to say yes to anything that sounds like fun. Nevertheless, you hesitate to jump in because you don’t want to waste your energy on something that’s unimportant in the long run. There’s no need to hide behind a song and dance today; express your concerns kindly without worrying about the reactions of others. Weigh your options and make your best choice.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Spending time at home sounds like a good idea, but you may have to go in to work anyway. In fact, you might have many things to do now that require you to head out into the world. Keep in mind that your words can make all the difference between success and failure, so don’t complain about your professional obligations or social commitments. Instead, be as positive as possible when talking about your plans today and then try to manifest what’s most important to you throughout the day.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Big ideas about your goals could set you up for frustration today when things don’t end up quite as perfect as you imagined. Nevertheless, you may still accomplish a lot and your current productivity helps to improve your self-esteem. Don’t waste time comparing yourself to some unobtainable ideal. Instead of thinking about what you didn’t do, focus on what you can make happen in the present moment.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You may be very confident about your financial situation now that the Moon is visiting your 2nd House of Money. Luckily, the Sun in your sign blesses you with vitality, enabling you to take on more projects than ever. But this high level of intensity can also bring anger to the surface, so find ways to burn off your unexpressed feelings or you might attract needless conflicts about things that ultimately don’t matter.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may feel very energetic now that the Moon returns to your sign for a couple of days. But you might also sense an incoming wave of uncertainty as signals from your subconscious mind overflow into your awareness. You could attempt to ignore these premonitions, but they are too distracting and convincing today. Even if you don’t know where these currents are taking you, it’s futile to fight against them. Save your energy for the specific issues that could arise instead of simply shadowboxing with your own fears.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Your suppressed negativity could leak to the surface today, yet you may not understand why until you realize that there are serious questions that still need answers. It’s not that you are overly pessimistic, but you can’t help but notice problems that others easily overlook. Remember, you can be very successful, even if a few details are left hanging, so let go of your concerns and allow your confidence to build.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You’re quite likely to succeed now, partly because you’re unwilling to take no for an answer. You can hold firm to a goal, even if you encounter severe resistance along the way. Other people may be surprised by your tenacity these days, but don’t let their reactions sway you from your objectives. Fix your attention onto your destination and push steadily in that direction no matter what.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You are using a wide-angle lens to perceive reality today and your scope of understanding is still growing because of all the planetary energy buzzing around your 9th House of Big Ideas. Others will naturally come to you for advice because you can see farther into the distance. Be careful; there may be two possible paths and as soon as you favor one, you’ll encounter resistance from those who are leaning the other way. Stay in the middle as long as possible and avoid making a choice until the last possible moment.

Schedule a spiritual retreat or a few days at a spa together to help you reconnect.

If you’ve grown fond of a friend in more than just a platonic way, there could be an interesting development this week.

One thing is certain: The best love affairs have a solid friendship. You’re already halfway there.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, November 4th
There’s no real need to be racing out of the starting gate this morning with the Moon void in Scorpio until 12:15PM. Of course, if you are awake around 1:17AM, you can take advantage of a surprising boost on the compatibility front as Juno in Aquarius makes a supportive, 60-degree link to Uranus in Aries. Interest in fashion and style is rising, but last night’s abrasive, 45-degree between Venus and Saturn can still keep deep romantic urges on temporary hold. Once the Moon breaks out of the fixed, power zone of hard-driving Scorpio and into the mutable, upbeat terrain of Sagittarius (12:15PM), it is a more welcome monthly time-period for fun, games, sports, and striving to hit the bull’s-eye of long-range goals. The lunar change from Scorpio to Sagittarius each month is often the most emotionally dramatic of any lunar metamorphosis. Thus, breathe several sighs of relief and get going with ventures that make you enthusiastic and content. Working on your behalf is a supportive, 60-degree connection from the Moon to Ceres (1:10PM). Make helpful dietary and nutritional changes that can strengthen your immune system. Nurture maternal figures and children in your circle of friends and relatives. Let the good times roll tonight as a party atmosphere develops. Enjoy card, board or word games. Restore faith in yourself and the future. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Daily Horoscopes for November 3rd
There is nothing casual about our communication today because we want to be taken seriously. We may feel as if time is quickly running out and we’re backed up against a wall. However, the intense Scorpio New Moon at 7:49 a.m. EST is a Solar Eclipse that marks a turning point in an ongoing process. Whether we’re letting go of a previous attachment or firing up a new passion, it’s time to move ahead with a renewed sense of direction and purpose.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Following through with your big ideas is difficult now because it seems like people say one thing yet mean something else. But it’s also about what you share with others today, too. A Solar Eclipse activates your 8th House of Intimacy, stirring your passions and intensifying your emotions. Nevertheless, it’s a luxury if you actually get to speak them out loud. Your feelings may not easily integrate into your life, so you must make a conscious choice regarding what is critical enough to reveal at this time.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Your relationships are probably more complicated than you prefer now. Today’s Scorpio New Moon Eclipse falls in your 7th House of Others, adding boundary issues to your current struggles. You might strive for simplicity because you are happier when all is secure and stable. Paradoxically, in the spirit of getting back to basics, you could be willing to make your life even more complex for a short while. Keeping your goals in mind ensures that you continue to move along on your path
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Make simple adjustments to your daily routine today — ones that won’t turn your life upside down. But even the most subtle modifications can set into motion a series of profound consequences with the Scorpio Solar Eclipse rattling your 6th House of Self-Improvement. The potential to change direction is strong, so choose your actions wisely. However, being overly insistent could overwhelms others, causing your plans to backfire. Gentle persistence is much more effective now than one dramatic gesture.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
You may feel as if your life has come to a standstill, but in truth it has not. In contrast, you’re on the verge of something big. Perhaps you’ve been thinking about starting a creative project or initiating action on the romantic front. With today’s New Moon Eclipse joining restrictive Saturn in your 5th House of Self-Expression, whatever it is won’t happen overnight, so be patient with yourself and others a little while longer. It’s always darkest right before the dawn.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Your inner world of emotions may be at odds with your outer world of actions. You would like to withhold your feelings and smile now, but you might not be able to get away with it. Acknowledge your inner process while the Solar Eclipse is intensifying your 4th House of Security. Thankfully, you can change the rules of the game; instead of choosing emotions or logic, seek a position that honors both realms. Maintain your connection with your heart while making decisions with your rational mind.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
It is time to put your plans into action because this New Moon Eclipse shakes up your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. Use the powerful energy to get your ideas out into the open, whether verbally or written. There may not be a better time to take initiative on an important project. Nevertheless, it might be nearly impossible to follow through on everything you start today. Ride the waves of change with a healthy sense of humor, for the intense energy won’t last too long.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are not saying everything you know today, but whatever secrets you keep to yourself may actually be more important than what you share. It’s critical to increase your awareness by realizing your own core values, including the obvious issues of money, love and power. Today’s Scorpio New Moon Eclipse falls in your 2nd House of Personal Resources, possibly making you feel less confident about your financial issues. Pushing through your resistance is not about denying real concerns; it’s about facing them head-on.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You can do nearly anything now if you set your mind to it as today’s New Moon Eclipse empowers your emotionally intense sign. It’s as if you are carrying a secret vial of superpowers, but you must use the potion carefully or you’ll create more problems than you solve. There’s nothing wrong with trying to save the world, but acknowledging your limits today can save you from disappointment tomorrow.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You might miss an opportunity to make a meaningful connection with someone close to you in your desire to demonstrate your competence to the world. You seem to be emotionally present and living in the moment, but no one really knows for sure as today’s Scorpio Solar Eclipse occurs in your 12th House of Secrets. Deep soul-searching might reveal that you are not yet ready to share your vulnerability with anyone else. Don’t push it; you will know when the time is right.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Shine your awareness onto the outer world now, as you are quite skillful engaging in the social scenes unfolding around you. But your ideas may be more fixed than anyone realizes, and you really don’t want to change your plans with the Scorpio New Moon Eclipse landing in your 11th House of Goals. You can engage others with calculated precision as if you are playing a game of chess. Trust your intuition; you know exactly what moves to make. Keep your eyes on your goals; your single-mindedness might just bring you the treasures you seek.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your career goals are more important than anything else now that the Scorpio Solar Eclipse emphasizes your 10th House of Public Responsibility. Your ability to control your emotions can create a magnetism that could have people eating out of your hand. But this isn’t about manipulating anyone else. Instead, it’s about using your powers of persuasion carefully so others will line up to be on your team. Integrate your altruistic intentions with decisive action for the best results.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Successfully planning for your future requires that you have a good map showing the lay of the land.
