HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2018 Uranus and Venus Prepare for a Faceoff
The same idea can have a very different life depending on the mind in which it chooses to roost. One might tuck the idea in the back of a drawer while another props the idea on a shelf or uses it to decorate a parade float. With Venus and Uranus lining up for a game of cosmic tug o’ war, what you do with an idea is more important than the idea itself.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It can take courage to live even the most ordinary daily existence. But it shouldn’t be that way all of the time. There’s so much good that will happen naturally today. It’s safe to go forward with defenses low, mind calm.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Not all discomfort is good, but since discomfort is also the price of admission to a worthwhile and interesting life, it can’t be all bad. Today, everything in the “worthwhile and interesting” category will be outside the comfort zone.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you taste happiness it makes you want more and more happiness, but happiness doesn’t work that way. Strange things happen when happiness compounds on itself. Savor sweet moments sans greed. Greed is ruinous.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a gentle rage simmering in you today. This has to do with setting something right, not only for you, but for the others and for everyone after. Until there is justice for all, there is justice for none.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It can take a very long time to form the foundation, products and momentum necessary to become an “overnight” success. Keep building, little by little, day by day, every single day -- no skipping.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Tell people about your interests and hobbies because letting people know what you’re all about is a form of self-love. It allows for the world to mold to you a bit instead of you always having to mold to the world.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re culling from all these different inspirations and resources and nothing is really fitting together to point you in a particular direction. That’s OK. This won’t be a linear path. Zig now, zag later.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Attraction can happen naturally, or can be created through careful calculations and applied formulas intended to create specific results. Just know which kind of attraction you’re dealing with.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re thinking of going to the next level with an endeavor. Would you still do it if no one else in the world knew about your expertise? That’s how you know it’s worth your time.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t have to apologize for taking care of someone you love, especially if that person is you. Anyone who stands in the way of your selfcare is being unloving. Don’t be guilted into neglecting what matters to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Feeling special isn’t about owning the best things, getting the attention of a lot of people or having the love of one person. It’s about believing in your own specialness.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Should you display your solidarity or your independent thought? Yes to both. Timing is the thing. Pay attention to sense when to meld with the group and when to enhance it through your uniqueness.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 29).
Many parts of your life have been defined by your pioneering spirit, but this year will be counted among your most exploratory. The best adventures will be accessible within a few hours of travel time. Also notable: You’ll be given an important key, there’s a chance to repair some history, and a new financial stream will open. Cancer and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 4, 40, 7 and 18.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: “I’ve tried for months to get a hold of my high school boyfriend through a social networking website. We always had a good relationship, even after we broke up. I just want to connect with him, nothing romantic, to share memories and say hello. He’s corresponded with several of our mutual friends, but for some reason he ignores my request and won’t respond to my messages. Now I want to know what’s wrong and if I did something to change his opinion of me. How do you suggest I get a Taurus to stop ignoring me and give me some answers? I’m a Capricorn.”
There may be any number of reasons the Taurus is not responding to you. It’s best not to take it personally. Maybe his significant other doesn’t like the idea of him connecting with ex-girlfriends. Maybe there are painful memories connected with you that he doesn’t want to bring up. Maybe he’s too busy to focus on the history of your relationship. Whatever his reason, a Taurus isn’t likely to change his mind as a result of coercion, manipulation or force. Your best tactic is to let it go on all levels. He’s more likely to come around once he no longer feels your psychic grip.
