HOROSCOPES

The future revealed: your essential guide to NOVEMBER

November in the stars. By Peter Watson

SCORPIO

24 October – 22 November

Although you wouldn’t deny that your financial situation needs an overhaul, you’ll resent anyone suggesting that you are hopeless in this area. It probably would be wise to accept help from someone whose expertise in such matters is well-known. Streamlining completed by around 23 November will make a huge difference. lucky day 9th – some sort of home delivery makes your day.

SAGITTARIUS

23 November – 21 December

You’ve every right to enter into a particular situation with a bit of a swagger, but you mustn’t be perceived as arrogant. You’ll be dealing with people who respond well to those who are bright and well-informed but certainly not egomaniacs. Fairly close by, there’s someone on whom you can model yourself very successfully. lucky day 3rd – as you probe a complex area the truth emerges.

CAPRICORN

22 December – 20 January

Others lobbying for group activities expect your support. But they perhaps don’t realise that you have certain standards, and you won’t agree to anything sloppy or mismanaged. Your ruler Saturn getting into a spat with the Sun suggests that it won’t take much for you to object quite vociferously at the first sign of dissent. lucky day 23rd – speculation pays off in surprising ways.

AQUARIUS

21 January – 19 February

For some while you’ve anticipated developments in your professional life or day-to-day routine. As you learn what’s likely to occur, mild terror will turn to excitement and then even great enthusiasm. Don’t be harsh on yourself if you realise you’re clinging to reminders of the way things were. Change is essential. lucky day 10th – conflict is avoided by your charm and diplomacy.

PISCES

20 February – 20 March

People who see you as confident have no idea that anxiety can be your enemy. Cosmic activity might have provided a bullet-proof shield to deflect everyday concerns – but only temporarily. Try to acknowledge that you, like everybody else, have insecurities and they need to be addressed rather than camouflaged by a false front. lucky day 7th – introductions promise intriguing outcomes.

ARIES

21 March – 20 April

Having felt restrained within a particular set-up, you’ll want out. However, once Jupiter enters Sagittarius on 8 November, you’ll decide that you’ve exaggerated the problems and overlooked the advantages. It’s important to resist making any major moves until you’re sure where you want to go and how you would get there. lucky day 16th – by forgiving and forgetting you rescue a relationship.

TAURUS

21 April – 21 May

If handling money or property on behalf of others, you have to be seen as squeaky-clean. Complex deals can be negotiated more easily in the first half of the month. From then on there’s every possibility that communications will break down or the motives of certain people will come under fire. The fewer delays the better. lucky day 8th – a long-overdue reunion lifts your heart.

GEMINI

22 May – 21 June

Expect to feel torn between your intensely private life and the part you play in the wider world. You cannot keep everybody happy at the same time and should accept that at some point you’ll feel you’re letting one individual down quite badly. Talking openly about your dilemma to the person concerned is your best bet. lucky day 26th – something you share with another doubles your fun.

CANCER

22 June – 23 July

Workmates or friends need to give you more support when you’re under pressure. Address this carefully, especially with Mercury retrograde for three weeks from 17 November. These people won’t like hearing that they’ve let you – and themselves – down. Try to sound collaborative when you strike up the conversation. lucky day 11th – you enjoy turning your attention from money to love.

LEO

24 July – 23 August

As you decide to break with convention and explore territory that, until now, you’ve found somewhat intimidating you’ll feel a mixture of fascination and fear. You will need to be well-prepared for any eventuality but you must not become so overcautious that it becomes impossible to relax and relish the whole experience. lucky day 15th – accepting an invitation broadens your horizons.

VIRGO

24 August – 23 September

Those insisting that you invest in enhancements to your home and family aren’t being judgemental. They merely hope to see you with a lifestyle that provides the support you need while meeting the challenges of the world outside. Even if the outlay seems excessive, focus on what you’ll be getting for your money. lucky day 25th – people show how much they appreciate your affection.

LIBRA

24 September – 23 October

Surprises sprung on you by somebody close needn’t be as problematic as you first imagine. Uranus reversing, as it were, into Aries in the first week of the month might initially leave you wondering whether you’ll ever feel totally secure in a set-up that from time to time takes your breath away. Refuse to overreact. lucky day 27th – entertaining others leads to unexpected delights.
