SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2020 Last Days of the Scorpio Sun
The new moon in Scorpio has given its blessing to
these last days of the Scorpio solar journey, offering
an extra dose of forgiveness, absolution and release
from old patterns. We have found that certain ways of
thinking (acting, dressing, eating... fill in the blank) no
longer serve us, if they ever did. A change in one area
starts a domino effect.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t assign value-
judgments to anything beyond your control. There is
little point in saying something you have no power
over is “good” or “bad.” Your time is better spent
working with the realities.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A change that is
completely internal, where nothing in the environment
is altered, is the hardest sort of change to make. It’s
not impossible, but why go the difficult route? New
environments make change easier.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re willing to be a little
uncomfortable – a trade-off for becoming who you
want to be. When you think about the things you’ve
gotten used to, it’s amazing how far you’ve come from
the person you were.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have to own
something before you can gift it to another. You have
love in you, and you give it. You have happiness in you,
and you give it. You have truth in you, and you give it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you stop one thing
to start another, there will be people affected. They
may feel they are losing you or a sense of rhythm you
provide, and they will react to that. This is just part of
the cost of change.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Every single person is
a work in progress. You are patient with yourself,
working with whatever comes naturally to you instead
of expecting something other than your current
experience.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re watching
something come together. The showier parts may look
more significant than they are. Like steam rising from
the egg-boiling pot, it’s part of the overall process but
not the part that cooks the eggs.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’d love to run into a
ripe opportunity, but when none arise naturally from
your daily discourse, you don’t worry about it one bit,
because you make more opportunities than you find
anyway.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your mind is just trying
to regulate and harmonize your internal state. At
times, it has some odd ways of going about this,
which could result in cravings, impulses and out-of-
the-blue thoughts.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll do some of what you
want and a lot of what you must. But whether or not it
is your desire to act is far less important than how you
make sense of what’s done and the story that follows.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Handle responsibilities as
early as possible to put yourself in the best position to
master the afternoon’s knotty challenge. This one will
engage you on multiple levels, especially intellectual
and emotional.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If there’s one thing you
can be to make life easier on yourself, it’s a good
listener who is patient and careful not to interrupt.
Listening well will save you from making unnecessary
mistakes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your opportunities
are not “out there”; rather, they are close at hand –
within your inner circle, in fact. Turn your questions
toward your loved ones, toward yourself and toward
all spiritual resources.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Half of your tactics
will be winners, and the other half can be filed away
as attempts that didn’t work... but which is which?
You’ll be inspired to get more scientific about it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone wants to be
the reason for your smile but doesn’t know how to
make this happen. Could you drop hints? Once they
figure out what to – metaphorically – bring to the
party, they’ll bring it!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Why do people open up
to you? You’re genuinely interested in what’s in their
hearts and minds, and you reflect this with warm
attentiveness. You may hear more than you bargained
for today!
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 15). There have been
times you led with determined intensity and won. This
year is different, though, marked by flexibility and an
openness to the influence of wise guides around you.
You’ll often find yourself in the middle of unplanned
and magical scenarios. Your family grows, and
finances augment to match. Gemini and Pisces adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 44, 36, 5 and 10.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You wonder what it’s
like to be another person, thinking what they think,
seeing through their eyes, having what they have.
This wondering changes something in your approach.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
A cosmic square inspires a message from Venus
to Jupiter: People often feel powerful stating their
preferences and weak stating their needs. Two things
help. Realize that many things we think we need
are just really wants. And affirm that it’s OK to be
vulnerable. People are joined in vulnerability more
than they are in strength.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve felt like an outsider
at times and come to a place of being proud of that
status. Your interest, hobbies, dreams and creations
don’t have to be conventional to be worthy.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When faced with options,
choose the one that allows you the most freedom. You
may not know what you’re going to do with it yet, but
you’ll do little without it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don’t let anyone else tell
you what “good” is to you. It could mean something
different to each individual, although many just
adopt the group-mind definition without question – a
dangerous and limiting approach.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As a responsible
scholar, you learn a lot, but you don’t readily believe
it until you put the knowledge to the test to see how
true, manageable, applicable and durable it is.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The leader is last
because the leader puts everyone else first. You have
the leadership capacity: to love and respect others so
much that you imagine for them a better future and
motivate them to create it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Compassion before
passion – that’s a good rule of thumb now, as hot
feelings are a temptation to act impulsively and,
ultimately, regrettably. The soft heart of compassion
is a compass.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In one sonnet,
Shakespeare called love an “ever fixed mark.” You
might agree today as you notice how you have been
irreversibly altered by a relationship.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 16). There have been times
you needed support you didn’t get. This year makes up
for it, as you are relationship-rich with people around
you who know you well and can help in the ways you
prefer. Your enthusiasm fuels projects and attracts
friendships. One savvy professional or financial move
will be a game changer. Leo and Pisces adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 3, 39, 2, 28 and 16.
