HOROSCOPE
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2018 Last Gasp of Scorpio Sun
The last day of the Scorpio sun asks, “What’s your takeaway from the events of the past few weeks?” Given the way Venus has interacted with the story, it will likely center around the reality of relationships vs. our expectations and fantasies about them. Love is work. This fact can be surprising, given that falling in love is no work at all.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You might be surprised at what brings you to your senses -- little random splashes of life to wake you out of the lull of ordinary moments. Once your body is alert to it, delights come one after another.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Would you rather scroll through life or stroll through it? Your earth sign wisdom will choose the latter, and yet the dictates of your lifestyle will probably have you doing the former unless you make a conscious effort to get out.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Every feeling is a message. Many of those messages aren’t that big of a deal, but if you ignore or shush them, they become more powerful. Nothing likes to be stifled. A feeling will fight for life like any living thing.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Nonverbal communication is usually more informative than verbal communication. And yet, the particular words used will be significant today. Keep track; the legalities of the matter will depend on it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It takes some boldness to be vulnerable, but if you have the guts to share a bit about what you really want, you’ll find out quickly whether the other person has compatible needs. You’ll know right away if this is worth pursuing or not.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even exceptionally loving people sometimes love to hate who they hate. Exceptionally intelligent people will mostly do this in their own diaries though, especially under this gossipy sky.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll feel honored to have a starring role in the life story of others. Just know that it’s a story you don’t get to write. You’ll play your part however you wish, and they’ll interpret it however they wish.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sympathy is a state of compassion for others that may involve concern or pity. Empathy takes it next level. You don’t merely observe the way others are feeling, you share in it. Go cautiously with this business.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Allow your mind and heart to guide you in the art and responsibility of putting yourself higher on your list of priorities. Make yourself important now. Don’t wait for your health to have to do the guiding.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may be the catalyst that, through no effort or intention of your own, happens to awaken something in others. This has repercussions. Know what’s your responsibility and what isn’t.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
People want answers, and they’ll come to you. It’s flattering, though you’re not obligated to contribute. Also, consider that sometimes wordless answers are the most accurate.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
How much free will each person actually has is a philosophical and existential debate. But if you don’t feel free, it’s a problem. That much is clear. Actively seek to gain more agency in your own life.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 21).
The Dalai Lama, Bill Murray and you have something in common this year. None of you regard new people as strangers; you interact as though always with friends. A combination of intelligent curiosity and good relationships will carry you from one interesting experience to another. Capricorn and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 38, 22, 18 and 50.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I’m a career-driven Leo with a Virgo moon. I’ve always been a hard worker and tried to do what is right, more or less. For all of my efforts, I don’t feel I’ve gotten very far in my career. I wanted to be a singer/actor/ performer then I branched off into other areas of the entertainment business. I never really achieved my aspirations, though I’ve hit some minor goalposts along the way. Now I’m older and I’m tired and angry that I wasn’t able to do more. How can I let it go?”
I don’t think you really can let it go, Leo. Being a performer is just a part of who you are. But right now you’re looking back at all your training and efforts and considering it a waste just because you’re not walking the red carpet at the Academy Awards. The reality is that all of your skills and that special charisma you’ve developed through the years count for a lot in job force, no matter what other role you choose. Stop focusing on what you didn’t do with your life, and build on what you did do and are doing. Attitude is everything.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: From “Desperate Housewives” to the new “Dynasty,” Scorpio Nicollette Sheridan specializes in playing complex women. The actress, producer and philanthropist was born when Venus, Mars and Mercury were all in the sign of the wounded healer, that is to say the centaur, Sagittarius. As the sign following Scorpio, the energy of Sagittarius civilizes and tames instinctual drives.
