HOROSCOPES
LIBRA
September 23 – October 22
Once you understand November is
about dealing with practical matters
and, equally, ensuring that others are
shouldering their share of the burden,
things make sense. While most insights
are a relief, a few may be surprising, if
not shocking. However, such facts are
the best starting point for discussions
that, ultimately, remedy problems. Get
others involved immediately, seeking
their ideas and help, and, where the
responsibility is theirs, encouraging
them to take it. Tense moments are
inevitable but well justified by the
outcome.
VIRGO
August 23 – September 22
Few things annoy you more than
dealing with those who’re careless about
facts. Yet not only has this been the
case, events reveal where you’ve been
mistaken, too. Investigate and you’ll both
find out what went wrong and benefit
from revelations about changes in
existing alliances and the circumstances
of others. Since this unfolds gradually,
ensure whatever you organise is
flexible enough that you can rethink
plans, possibly more than once. Even
seemingly unsettling developments free
you from arrangements you regarded as
unchanging.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Being inquisitive, you’re happiest when
you’ve lots to do, deal with and learn
about. While you’re busy, you’ve little
choice and, worse, much of what you’re
facing is dull. Tempting as it is to find
shortcuts or ways to avoid these entirely,
get involved. Soon those tasks not only
prove interesting, they’ll be amazingly
illuminating. Although some insights
are purely practical, others will prove
valuable when the Gemini Full Moon,
on 6 December, brings issues involving
close relationships to a head.
CANCER
June 21 – July 21
Some t i me s t e n s i on s i n c l o s e
relationships or pivotal plans or
projects are reason for concern. Now,
however, they’re a sign of growth.
You’re venturing into new, worthwhile
but uncer tain territor y, with the
accompanying doubts. Discuss these
frankly, encouraging others to do so as
well, and you’ll learn from every twist
and turn. While occasionally this means
facing perplexing facts, these lead to
breakthroughs. If there’s any challenge,
it’s being patient. Although there’s
progress now, many arrangements
remain unsettled until the new year.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Between October’s unsettling events
and the emotionally intense Taurus
Full Moon on 6 November, life’s about
exploring your feelings, not rational
decisions – urgent as they seem.
Explore everything, since what’s least
expected and initially most unwelcome
could be exactly what’s needed. Until
things are more settled, focus on
eliminating outmoded habits, goals and
even passions from your life. This clears
both your schedule and your mind, so
when it’s time to commit, you can move
swiftly and with confidence.
LEO
July 22 – August 22
Initially, you agreed to certain ideas
or offers because they held promise
or were intriguing. You didn’t realise
they’d be so disruptive, if not demand
a serious rethink of elements of your
work or lifestyle. However, you’ll soon
realise familiar arrangements actually
cost you in terms of time, money or,
perhaps, heart. The resulting review
triggers changes that, initially, you resist,
but you soon realise are actually freeing
you. Thus, by November’s close, you’re
exploring options that, once, you’d never
have considered.
