Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Friday, November 17, 2023

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

It’s not that you’ve been dishonest, as much as you’ve managed to avoid even discussing one particular, and troublesome, arrangement. Understandably, you fear that, judging by how difficult things are now, disentangling yourself will be very tricky. On the contrary. Simply suggest it. The rest will be easy.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

One of your most admirable characteristics, as a Taurus, is the way in which you’ll keep your word with others, even if it’s inconvenient or costly to you. However, you’re urged to talk things over with the individuals in question, and soon. They’ll benefit from the resulting discussions as much as you will.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

True, it’s likely you’ll be exhausted by the current swift pace of events. However, this has freed you to mention plans others rejected, in some cases, recently. The trick? Suggest them again, as if they’d just come to mind. Others are unlikely to recognise them as the ideas they’ve only just refused.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Discussing plans and turning them into action is one thing. You enjoy doing it and so do others. However, you’ve a powerful instinct about when those changes should be turned into action, something others lack. That being the case, the sooner you discuss the timing of your plans, the better.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You don’t think of yourself as being demanding, of others but, also, in your own life. This is because your standards are very different from those around you. At the moment, however, several individuals share the same challenges and same objectives. Join together. Once you do, you’ll realise you can achieve miracles.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

The time has come to take a break. True, with several of your plans or projects only partially completed, you may regard this as weak or as an indication you lack conviction. On the contrary, once you’ve paused for long enough to be able to relax, you’ll return refreshed and full of energy.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

The last thing you want is to upset anybody. Yet between changes in your own circumstances and equally unsettling developments in the lives of those who’re involved with the matters in question, you’re juggling even simple plans. The solution? Make plans, but ensure they’re flexible enough to ride out these dramas.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

As a water sign, your feelings run deep and, equally, you’ve a powerful ability to sense what’s coming. The problem? Not everybody understands about such feelings and, in fact, some pretend they don’t exist. They may even laugh about them. Say nothing. Sooner or later they’ll acknowledge the depth of their own feelings.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

If you’re a typical Sagittarius, you’ve a low boredom threshold. In fact, you thrive on the unexpected from, being in unfamiliar places, unanticipated encounters and, especially, new ideas. You’ve plenty of exactly that coming your way. Waste no time trying to explain or justify your excitement to others. Simply plunge in.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Somebody seems determined to distract you from plans that you’ve not only worked hard to organise, you’ve been looking forward to turning them into action. Yet, you must admit, you’ve sensed something new, and unexpectedly exciting, is coming your way. It is. And, better yet, within days.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

You don’t think of yourself as an intellectual, that is, somebody who, when challenging others, needs solid facts to even discuss plans. Now, however, you’re facing individuals who’re totally lacking in imagination. The solution? Use yours to explain what you have in mind and, in turn, to win them over.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Long ago you realised that certain people don’t just thrive on disrupting moments of joy, they feel threatened by others’ contentment. Tempting as it is to discuss this, adopt a different approach. Organise arrangements with others who, equally, savour disruption. It will be better for everybody, and in particular, for you.

If it's your birthday on...

Saturday

Initially, you’ll be thrilled by the rapid pace of events, combined with magical developments. Yet, still, you’re organising everything. The secret? Let go. Imagine you were riding the rapids in a river. Soon you’ll be living in, and enjoying the moment and taking chances in everyday life as never before.

Sunday

Your birthday challenge? It’s allowing destiny to shape the way, and the pace, at which your dreams take form. Be patient. You’ll soon realise that, although elements are unexpected, what’s actually taking place is magical. Your most worthwhile birthday gift? Learning to relax and go with the flow.

Monday

You dream of turning magical ideas into reality. You’re focused on exactly that. Now, finally there’s progress. The challenge? Standing back while events unfold, especially those that are different from your expectations. The secret? Keep your vision but be flexible about details, and the rest will be easy.
