HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2018 Jupiter Showers Luck
Lucky Jupiter is a giant ball of hydrogen and helium. A person trying to stand on the firm surface of Jupiter would quickly note there isn’t one while being swallowed up by the planet’s intense pressure. Jupiter’s transit into Sagittarius is bound to bring good fortune, though don’t count on it entirely for support. This is a treat, not sustenance.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The end of this quest will be the start of the next one. In this light, there’s really no reason to rush to the finish. In fact, you’d do well to slow down so you can absorb the lessons in this stretch of the road.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No one seems to want to say, “I don’t know” today, least of all the clueless. Show up sponge-like. It really is possible to learn through osmosis if you’re open enough.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When we were children, more seemed possible. We had yet to learn the limits, so it seemed that what we’d later call “magic” was just another way that things might happen. Can you return to that mind today?
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Honor your flaws. You wouldn’t be you without them. Besides, you’re not going to live with them forever. Some are dropping by the wayside as you read this. You may as well appreciate them while you’re waving goodbye.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone is helping you behind the scenes. You can feel the good will even if you don’t know who it is. You may never know the secret angels who are on your side, which speaks to the purity of their generosity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may give someone you love a little breathing room, but you can’t help but check back perpetually, as it seems written in your love clause. “I tried to throw a yo-yo away; it was impossible.” -- Mitch Hedberg
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). They say you can’t go back, because it’s never the same when you do. If you physically return, you’ll find the old place has been either updated or ravaged by time. Go back in your mind instead and it’s just as you left it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Historians rarely agree and can theorize endlessly about how things really happened. You’ll be in a similar quandary, with evidence that adds into quite a different story than the one being told to you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Stars smile and wink at you as if to sanction your more daring (possibly selfish?) choices. Then again, why shouldn’t your own fun be a priority?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Owning is overrated. What you own, you have to find a place for, organize, maintain... and it’s a bit much when all you want to do is move around the world unfettered.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The information you’re given is incomplete. Ask for more. What’s the plan? What’s the reason? What’s the backstory? The more you know, the more powerful you’ll be in the situation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your work hasn’t received the deserved accolades. This might take some time. What you’ve accomplished will stand the test of time. If you need acknowledgement sooner, just draw more attention to what you’ve done.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 8). In the past, you’ve chosen heroes and aspired to great things. Would you believe that this year you’ll be your own inspiration? Yes, you have already overcome so much. Just list it and you’ll see how your many accomplishments add up to success that continues on and on. If you can’t see this now, use a friend’s eyes. Aries and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers: 7, 30, 22, 9 and 8.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: “My wife is a Taurus, and I’m a Sagittarius. She believes that money is meant to be spent and that if you have extra money after you’ve earned enough to survive you should use it to enjoy your life.
I believe that material things don’t make your life better. In fact, they make it worse. Everything you buy makes you spiritually heavier and the accumulation of things is like a jail cell. You have to maintain all of this stuff, and you’re not free anymore. You have to think twice before you decide to go off on an adventure because who will guard the house and take care of the pets? You can’t up and move anywhere because you have 10 tons of stuff and it’s too much of a hassle. I feel trapped. How can my wife and I come together on this?”
As the sign of money, Taurus has an appreciation for quality things and will assign deeper meaning to them than you do. It’s not just “stuff” to her. Try to be sensitive to the material expression of her values as you come up with a financial plan that suits both of you. If you can agree on a plan and stick to it, you will once again feel free.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: The Scorpio energy of transformation can be applied to many disciplines.
