Horoscopes 24th to 30th November

Others may have found you self-preoccupied of late – and indeed you are. An important personal issue is playing on your mind which requires a decision and perhaps an airing with those concerned. This certainly is a great time to get to the truth of a matter, provided you don’t lose sight of the wood for trees. Exercise will help you unwind.

As Mercury and your ruler Saturn merge, the past lives again – experienced as nostalgia
or a sharp recollection. This can be bittersweet, sad or blissful. The value of recall is the lesson learned. And this week is a reminder to you of how wonderful life can be, or how lucky you are to have got to this point in your life relatively unscathed.

You can party like the best, and so you should. And not just because it’s the festive season. With Venus still in your career house (just!), make the most of events that showcase your fabulous gift for making fast alliances that can prove useful. However, you’ll gain much by playing down your wilder, maverick tendencies. Oh behave, Aquarius.

Do you have the status at work, or are you in the right pay grade, commensurate with your gifts? This is one question you may be asking yourself this week, along with: am I properly appreciated? If you have a genuine bone of contention with bosses, this is the moment to
bring it to their attention. Authenticity has power.

A major plan of some kind is under scrutiny. No astrologer can tell what this is, but ‘expansion’ is the theme. It could be personal or part of an organisational project. It could also mark a departure from the tried and tested, and it certainly appeals to the wild or bolder side of you, with disruptive Uranus still in Aries.

Have you been reading your monthly credit card statements, or just tucking them away unopened? A money matter of some kind requires attention – this could also involve a partner’s financial affairs. What comes to light will not frighten the horses: prevarication always leads to exaggerated fears. Mercury- Saturn will help you to face facts and find fairly rapid solutions.

Libra is said to be the peacemaker, but the truth is all the signs can play this role when certain planets occupy the chart house of that sign. Now it’s your turn, Gemini. A rift between people in your life requires verbal ‘surgery’, and who better than you to open the door to negotiation with your measured, schmoozy articulacy?

A weighty work issue has certainly brought you down to earth – it could simply be the volume of toil or a challenge to resolve. Fortunately, you now have the cosmic resources to work through a lot of detail and shoulder much responsibility. If it’s not work, then it is your wellbeing: you could be about to make an important change in lifestyle.

Very occasionally, we become aware that an urge to get away and go on an adventure simply is not compatible with family duties or the expectations of a partner. This is not a reason, necessarily, not to take off suddenly. But do so in the full knowledge that much tut-tutting will echo through the ether. You can’t always please everyone.

How many years does it take to decide to have a wonky roof tile readjusted? Or to replace the unsightly steamed-up double glazing? Or... whatever? A home improvement plan will get the go-ahead simply because you’ve grown utterly tired of the constant putting-o of a decision. Yes, you’re the one taking the initiative after sifting through estimates. As usual.

The self-indulgent mood continues as ruler Venus encourages you to splash out on things you do not really need and to take baths infused with the most expensive oils. While you’re luxuriating, your partner is growing restless with all this boring home-body stu . Oh, dear. For now, you must agree to live and let live. The twain shall not meet.

Don’t delay in sitting down at your desk and going through a nancial plan, your budget, income statements or other documentation related to your material worth. There’s not necessarily a major problem, but your understanding is required if you are to make the right decision over expenditure. The skies assure good outcomes from rigour and analysis, on this occasion.
