Horoscope today: Daily guide to what the stars have in store for YOU – November 8, 2023

On results day in the U.S. (after America’s state, mayoral and federal elections), since it seems we can’t have differing opinions without making enemies or starting a ‘culture war’, let’s be inspired by yesterday’s Mercury/Neptune link, and communicate with sensitivity. 

Some folk will struggle with disappointment today, others will be buoyed by hope. 

Yet, as Venus changes signs, with small acts of kindness we can find mutual respect.

ARIES 

March 21 – April 20

Just because Venus has arrived in your opposite sign doesn’t mean everything in your world will suddenly be golden and glowing. But if you’ve been feeling as if nothing’s going right and everyone’s against you, expect to start feeling differently. Today brings subtle changes that make you smile. And if you share those smiles, you’ll find your mood shifts in a delightful direction. Soon, you’ll be so pleased with what’s going right that you won’t notice what’s still wrong.

TAURUS 

April 21 – May 21

We’re all horticulturists. We plant seeds. We nurture our hopes and dreams. We feed, prune and encourage them to grow until they bear fruit. Of course, there are always patches of ground in between that we don’t have time to look after. That’s where the wild things grow. These overlooked and overgrown areas provide natural habitats for all sorts of life forms. Sometimes, unexpectedly beautiful flowers blossom there. A long-forgotten idea has produced a seedling in an unlikely place. Don’t miss it! 

GEMINI 

May 22 – June 22

The plays of William Shakespeare are full of pearls of wisdom. Here’s one: ‘Neither a borrower nor a lender be.’ Of course, he didn’t actually say this. He wrote these words for an actor. And it’s impossible to know whether he followed this advice. Saying something is one thing; doing it is another. I’m not mentioning this because of your finances. But you’re surrounded by people telling you what you ‘should’ do. Yet not only are you not in the mood to listen, you want to do the opposite. Follow your own script today. 

CANCER 

June 23 – July 23

You’ve been restricted by various barriers and boundaries. You’ve found out (the hard way) where these are positioned. You make a move, you progress a certain distance — and then you realise that things are more complicated than they seemed, and that an invisible obstruction lies ahead. So you stop doing what you want to do and set yourself a different (easier) goal. Now, though, you’re moving into a position from where you can evaluate the real shape and size of a difficulty. Then you’ll know how to circumnavigate it. 

LEO 

July 24 – August 23

Some things just don’t fit together. We all know people who can’t interact without arguing with one another, but I’m not only referring to ill-matched relationships. While we all need to be able to compromise and cooperate, there are times when we have to stand our ground. We can only change so much of our personalities. We only have a certain amount of influence over situations. And sometimes, negotiation isn’t possible. Today, if you make a decision to leave something and move on, a world of options will open. 

VIRGO 

August 24 – September 23

Surely it wouldn’t take much? A moment of kindness from a celestial helper? An unexpected coincidence? A slight change of fortune? Why can’t you get what you need, or find what you seek? Actually, you can! It’s just that you have to action the seeking part first. Once you start, you’ll soon realise that you’re seeking what you don’t need. But you won’t realise that until you’ve made some headway. Your ruler’s link with Neptune gifted you with the wisdom to seek to understand what you really need. It’s surprisingly easy to get. 

LIBRA 

September 24 – October 23

Across the galaxy, planet Earth is renowned for its two dominant races: the warriors and the worriers. These tribes co-exist comfortably: the warriors battle between themselves for positions of power, while the worriers leave them to it and get on with worrying about other things. Meanwhile, the population of worriers grows. Why? Well, as soon as a warrior is victorious, they start changing into a worrier. A significant achievement is possible today. Just don’t get into that mindset. 

SCORPIO 

October 24 – November 22

Help yourself to a second coffee. Actually, do everything you can to get as big a ‘buzz’ going as possible. You’ve got lots to do. So infusing yourself with caffeine will help . . . won’t it? You can cope with the jitteriness . . . can’t you? You don’t mind being super-decisive one moment and bewildered the next? With power planet Mars in your sign, you’re being boosted. Yet you still don’t feel as if you’ve got a certain situation under control. But you don’t need more energy. Try taking a step back. It’s not as full on as it feels.

SAGITTARIUS 

November 23 – December 21

As well as societal laws that regulate the ways we interact with one another, we’re under social pressure to deal with people in a reasonable way. We have to be pleasant. Most of us manage this most of the time. Even if we don’t like someone, we try to disguise our feelings. If you’re resentful about the way a key person has made progress recently, just check what you’re revealing. It’s in your interests to maintain a cordial relationship. And you’re not (yet) in a position to judge. Keep smiling. Live your life to the full. 

CAPRICORN 

December 22 – January 20

Are you positive you’ve done the right thing? Were the changes you implemented really necessary? Suppose you misinterpreted the situation? You can’t just go back to the way things were . . . can you? You don’t need to judge today. The difference between where you’re headed and where you’ve been needs to be considered over time. You’re about to start noticing the effect your decisions are having on your life. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt and you’ll begin to see the benefits of the process you’re going through. 

AQUARIUS 

January 21 – February 19

They say that the future is a promissory note, the past is a cancelled cheque and the present is the only cash we really have — so spend it wisely. Even though hardly anyone carries cash these days, it’s excellent advice. But there are times when we need to look back. If we don’t acknowledge, and learn from, our mistakes, we end up repeating them. If you approach a reminder of a past disappointment with a positive attitude today, it will enable you to see why what’s happening in your present is perfect. 

PISCES 

February 20 – March 20

I’ve got a short questionnaire for you today. Q1: Does your situation make want to a) run a mile, b) run a bath, c) run up a large bill? Q2: Is a certain person making you feel a) suspicious, b) sexy, c) sensitive? Q3: Are you afraid of a) everyone, b) no one, c) yourself? We don’t need to mark your scores because that’s not the point. What’s important is that although you know the answers to these (and other) questions, you are perplexed by a mystery. If you ask yourself a few more, easy-to-answer questions, you’ll solve it.
