HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2021 New Moon Prep Day
If you could swivel your life 10 degrees in the direction
of your choosing, what’s the improved view? If you
upgraded to the next version of yourself overnight, how
would you know the change had taken place? Get clarity
on the matter so you can aim yourself strategically to
receive tomorrow’s fresh lunar magic in the sign of
transformation.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The importance of
context will come up. People have a choice about who to
buy from or work and socialize with. You’ll build a sense
of trust and community as you share the story of how you
came to do what you do.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will become further
intrigued with a subject. Strangely, the more you learn,
the bigger the mystery becomes. You may never get to
the bottom of it, but the quest is enthralling.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Fear subsides and your
mind is quiet. Let yourself relax into the silence for as
long as you can. Deeply intelligent and intuitive insight
emerges from stillness.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). As you pull off the
tricks of the day, the importance of conviction cannot
be underestimated. When you really believe in your own
performance, you will be most convincing to the others.
You will earn tremendous reviews.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Fear creates its own reasons
for being. Perhaps your alarm is well-founded, though.
In that case, address the risk. How can you minimize it?
A safety net can create confidence and contribute to sure-
footed action.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are surrounded by
stubborn people who will not bend to your will. However,
with some showmanship, you may be able to distract
them into doing exactly as you prefer.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will answer to
someone whom you would love to impress. There’s
both personal and financial incentive involved. Brief and
relevant interactions will have a strong and memorable
effect.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The kindhearted
often come by their compassion via the school of hard
knocks. Having suffered, it is easier to extend empathy
to the suffering. Having erred, it is easier to forgive the
erroneous.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will be more
impulsive than usual and likely to take a chance you
normally wouldn’t dare to take. You have your reasons.
Or, if not, it’s an intuitive impulse you’d like to honor.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It is said that true
happiness cannot be achieved in isolation, though you’ll
challenge the premise with solo moments in which you
feel fully connected to a vibrant sense of love and life.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Choose your
company carefully. You’re susceptible to vibes, so avoid
those sending out the sort you wouldn’t want to catch.
To create optimal impressions, interact with people while
they’re already having a good time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may not share
your friend’s worldview or agree on everything, but since
you remain nonjudgmental, you will be enriched and
expanded by the relationship nonetheless.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 3). Because of your
keen timing, a mere nugget of knowledge will lead you
to incommensurate financial bonus; be sure to accept it.
You will be an excellent steward of this resource. Besides,
all the goodwill you put out on the regular was bound to
come back to you from somewhere. Capricorn and Virgo
adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 44, 8 and 49.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2021 Phoenix Moon
Besides the scorpion, Scorpio energy is often symbolized
with the phoenix, a legendary bird that shows up in the
mythology of many ancient cultures. While the details
change from story to story, an abiding characteristic is the
creature’s talent for self-invention. The bird rebirths itself,
and the new Scorpio moon suggests we can do so, too.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When in doubt, seal your
lips and see what happens. Some silences will communicate
far beyond words. Some silences will communicate nothing,
which might turn out to be precisely what the topic warrants.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Dump out the drawers and
dig into the closets. Becoming increasingly organized will
help the flow of your upcoming days. Bonus: You’ll recover
what was lost or forgotten.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There will be a choice
between now and later. Choose now. “Why not seize the
pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by
preparation, foolish preparation!” -- Jane Austen
CANCER (June 22-July 22). School is never out for you.
You learn something new every day, and on days like today,
you learn 10 things, all immediately applicable. The more
you learn, the more you earn.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Honor what you notice. It’s
a show of respect. It means you trust your instincts and
have faith in every level of your awareness, including your
subconscious to pick out what’s significant. If it weren’t
important, you wouldn’t notice it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Due to your training and
the environment you’ve known so far, you allow yourself
certain freedoms and restrict yourself from others. Consider
widening the margins, as circumstances have changed.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Because you are open to other
points of view, your day will be peppered with interesting
arguments, banter and the kind of intellectual challenge that
keeps you on your game.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve built something
that’s not just for you; it’s for loved ones, friends and future
generations. Everyone will feel at least a little bit like they
own it in some way, though it has a life of its own, too.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes, the
answers are not blowing in the wind, written on the wall, out
there or within you. Sometimes, the answer is “no answer.”
Keep asking anyway, though, because it connects you with
other curious minds.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Money talks in
a language that, while not exactly universal, is widely
understood. Decide what you’re willing to pay before you
enter the marketplace. You’ll be up against some mighty
persuasive salespeople.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve done it before
-- put yourself in a one-down position so someone else
can feel more secure. It might help in the moment, but it’s
not a sustainable fix. When you’re around strong people, it’s
unnecessary.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not like you to be
suspicious of others, but when you are, take heed. There’s
nothing to fear, except wasting your time. You’re on a path to
learn new lessons, not ones you’ve already learned.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 4). You’re forming a new
style, and it changes how you approach several areas of your
life. Compassionate, supportive self-talk is a crucial part of
the change that allows you to adopt habits that support your
most ambitious aims. Fun with friends and family provide
a beautiful balance to an intensely focused year. Leo and
Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 33, 2, 16
and 49.
