Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Friday, November 8, 2024

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

While certain recently organised plans are coming together amazingly well, you're struggling with others. For now, back off. Take a break. You'll soon recognise how wise that strategy was. If in doubt whether these are the way to go, wait and watch, and learn from observation. Your instincts will tell you when to make your move.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

While you benefit from being a practical earth sign in many ways, the current planetary set-up accents the need to rethink, if not venture into new territory, both when rethinking existing plans and exploring previously unfamiliar options. The secret? Treat these, other similar arrangements as the ongoing experiments, if not adventures, that they are.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

As a quick-thinking Gemini, your natural inquisitiveness often leads to discussions about matters of interest to you and certain individuals. This variety of inquisitiveness is rare and, over time, you and those who involved will benefit from an enriching, if unexpected, experience. Be bold. Venture into new territory. You won't regret it.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

As a Cancerian, you're probably aware that your symbol is the Moon, and that in astrology the Moon is said to be both your symbol and your ruling heavenly body. And with the Moon forming a series of links to several of the planets, you'll be experiencing a range of adventures and some will be exactly that: thrilling.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

As a quick-thinking and fast moving Leo, you've an amazing ability to turn even what seem setbacks to your advantage, and in a way that benefits others. That's the case now.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

One of your greatest gifts is your wonderful sense of irony, mostly because it enables you to have a good laugh about dilemmas while you're wrestling with them. The secret? Keep in mind this isn't a race to be won by the swiftest, but a chance to explore new horizons now. This will become a habit and ultimately a powerful element of your life.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

At the moment, however, you're urged to regard both recent arrangements and those you're currently organising as genuine experiments, and take chances. Soon you'll be tackling those once worrying risks with a combination of creativity and enthusiasm.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Judging by the current powerful links between Jupiter, the planet of good fortune of every variety, events that are as unexpected as they are unsettling could turn out to be delightful surprises. While, as a restless fire sign, you thrive on twists and turns of this nature, not everyone is as enthusiastic. That being the case, adopt a slow-paced approach.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

While it's true that few things annoy you as much as those who will neither discuss their plans nor their more distant ambitions, now it's the reverse; there's too much talk and not enough action. The solution? Be the first to discover just how exciting, and rewarding these activities can be, now and as the future unfolds.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

As a clever Capricorn and therefore someone who thrives from facing, dealing with, and overcoming challenges, every once in a while, you need a break. That time has come. Pause, considering what worked what didn't and, especially what you'd like more of, now and as both the coming weeks and the more distant the future unfolds.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

You don't think of yourself as stubborn and mostly you're not. What's more, you've a talent for reorganising commitments you dislike and balancing them with other, more rewarding, activities and companions. Still, as much as you'd like to settle into a routine, be prepared for events, ideas and offers as unexpected as they are potentially exciting.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Long ago you realised that while certain individuals have good intentions, they have a tendency to expect others to get involved in, if not deal with, certain ongoing obligations. However, with the foundation on which these are based shifting, the more flexible your approach, the better What's least expected could turn out to be thrilling.

If it's your birthday on ...

Saturday

This birthday is about developing a new perspective on both long-standing issues and plans that focus far more on the future. You may have already discussed these in detail, but there's lots more yet to discover and explore, often with others. However, as you progress, you'll realise a few will be a thrilling, but a solo journey.

Sunday

Being a determined Scorpio, you have an astonishing capacity to set goals, often ones as far-reaching as they are challenging, yet turn them into reality. Doubters? They mean well, but still, ignore them, at least while you're focusing on making magic in your life.

Monday

Challenging as saying farewell to certain cherished goals may be, times have changed and the actual circumstances in question are also in transition. You're surprising yourself by how eager you are to explore options that, only recently, you'd have ignored, if not rejected with a laugh.
