Daily Horoscope November 2, 2011

Aries: If you approach a business partner, organization, or financial institution with requests today, you may be disappointed. Wait.

Taurus: Interruptions or demands from family or partner could make the work day seem crazy. If you can delay deadlines, do so.

Gemini: Too many things may be on your mind today. It is best to take care of unnecessary things that need eliminating. Release.

Cancer: Absolutely do not take investment risks today. Your intuition is upside down regarding future profit potential.

Leo: Your more egotistical, arrogant, attention seeking tendencies may make others testy, but you're not aware of your behavior.

Virgo: The mind/body connection is strong today but it could be real work to make it positive, rather than negative. Vigilance.

Libra: Please do not shop for clothes, gifts or choose home decor. What appeals to you now may become, "What was I thinking?"

Scorpio: Avoid expressing too many opinions or what you think are facts. You may have to admit you are wrong after today passes.

Sagittarius: Be sure you have your map, tickets or necessary info before moving ahead. Confusion in transit, thoughts & words.

Capricorn: Not the day to borrow, lend, invest money on a personal or professional level. Too many strings & risks possible.

Aquarius: You may have to choose between being true to yourself & your happiness or sacrificing your time to demands of others.

Pisces: Avoid gossip & negative viewpoints of others, especially at work. It can literally bring you so low that you feel ill. MYOB.

The moon in the fixed air sign of Aquarius forms a difficult square with the sun in Scorpio that lasts until dinner time, making the day a moody mix of deep sensitivity running aground on the cold hard rock of rationality. Both Scorpio and Aquarius are intelligent and can be very attached to what they feel or think. This square between these two stubborn energies brings to mind the expressions, "Between a rock and a hard place" and "Up the creek without a paddle." Scorpio at its worst is passive aggressive and Aquarius at its worst is painfully honest or an intellectual snob. Even the nicest of people may be influenced by today's planetary energy so that they exhibit moodiness, instability and drama. People behaving out of character may be due to an opposition which occurs between Mars in regal Leo and Neptune in eccentric Aquarius. Neptune also receives challenging square energy from Venus conjunct Mercury, but Venus and Mercury are shifting today from the water sign of Scorpio to the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius. Whenever planets shift signs, we feel it. You may not be consciously aware of the days when planets change signs unless you follow an astrologer or check the ephemeris, but I am willing to bet that crazy, upside down or disturbing days in your past, that stand out as being outside of the norm, occurred when one or more planets changed signs. With the erratic and unpredictable Aquarius moon arm wrestling with the Scorpio sun, it may be a day stranger than most. If you know what houses in your natal chart have Scorpio, Aquarius and Sagittarius energy, you will have some idea of what areas of your life may be affected now. On all levels, take anything you read, see or hear with detachment and patience. Things may not be what they seem today. That Mars/Neptune opposition is tempted to make a big deal out of things that might not be real or very significant. It will take another day or so for us to adjust to Venus and Mercury being in the lighthearted, "lets be friends" sign of Sagittarius after feeling them for the last few weeks in the deeply intimate and intense sign of Scorpio. Today is a day of shifting gears.
