HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2021 Moonkissed Venus and Self-Image
A conjunction of the moon and Venus in Capricorn, the
sign of public image and power, nuzzles up to our sense
of self-acceptance. How we feel about ourselves at home
on the couch versus in a crowd of humanity are two
different ideas. The closer their resemblance, the more
comfortable we are. Comfort is the enemy of progress.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You love strong-willed
people with a mind of their own. You don’t feel like
you have to agree on every point. You’re supporting
the person, not their entire platform. Your gift for
encouragement will influence what happens next.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You feel more, so you
love more, hurt more and, in today’s case, become more
giddy with joy when your team wins, lifting the whole of
the group to a new level of morale.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your affection will
demonstrate in spirals. You’ll give positive feedback,
be generous with your time and most available to your
loved ones. This is how the work of love is done.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are many ways to
learn, but the best is by doing the thing. The education
you get through books and other media will give you a
leg up, even though you won’t use a lot of it in the final
process.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A wound is a site of healing.
The destruction was in the past. What’s going on now on
a cellular and energetic level is healing, rebuilding and
bringing everything into a state of wholeness.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is not possible to grow
without changing. You feel ready and willing to let go of
the way things used to be, but even if you were reticent to
do so, it would be too late. Your transformation is already
underway.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are so many ways to
cooperate -- one of them being by not participating in the
work at all. When people are ready, willing or needing to
hash it out on their own, stepping out of the action can
be a gift of love.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). One activity that gets
you through hard things, such as a round of sit-ups or
the cluster of days leading up to a vacation, is counting.
If the thing you are counting is blessings, you will be
very lucky indeed!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Romance will
play out like a kind of theater -- the one that feels
absolutely real. And perhaps it is; although the intensity
of drama will ebb and flow throughout the relationship.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The world is
better when people understand and apply their talents.
They can’t always do this alone. They need the keen
observation of a witness. You’ll see strengths in others
that they cannot see in themselves.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will bring
contradicting forces into perfect alignment. The amazing
feat will have a profound effect on people around you.
Indeed, your own heart will be moved in the process.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even though there is
a certain requirement of solo time you like to fulfill that
seems to keep you in touch with who you are, you still
need to be around other people to truly be yourself.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 7). You don’t pay much
attention to your popularity, but it’s on the rise, and you’ll
enjoy the perks. You’ll earn more, laugh more and find
yourself in more exciting situations. Consult mentors.
A certification, degree or advancement is in store. What
you’ve been dreaming about can finally become a reality.
Aquarius and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 8, 30, 21, 17 and 49.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2021 Lunar Love Affair
If you’ve ever been content to leave the house one way,
then seen someone at the grocery store who made you
wish you’d worn something different, you know the self-
consciousness of status comparisons. The connection
of Venus and the Capricorn moon is the sort that has us
looking at ourselves differently.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is too early to put your
project out into the world. Work in private. Steer clear
of the seduction of “likes” and ratings. Don’t let outside
opinions intrude on your self-concept.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have many friends
who do not share your interests. A diverse group has
more to teach you than a homogenous one, yet it will
amplify your vitality to find people who like what you like.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A second opinion can be
helpful at times, but right now, you don’t need someone
looking over your shoulder and rating your performance.
Stay away from those who judge and correct. This is
something best figured out on your own.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Beauty impresses you.
You’ll find it today in the qualities of honest people.
Instances of honor and loyalty may just take your breath
away. Goodness is all around you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It is possible to be happy
while trying to make others happy, but it can also be a
rather complicated and roundabout route. You’ll bring
more joy to all by pursuing your original aims and letting
the rest fall into place naturally.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s easy to love cheerful,
helpful, attractive, agreeable and interesting people.
The karma points come from loving the difficult and
unpleasant who show no signs of loving you back.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just as one person’s trash
is another’s treasure, someone’s worst nightmare is just
the challenge you live for. Stay solid in your preferences
and let no one’s opinion taint your utter enjoyment of
them.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Thinking too far ahead
can have a paralyzing effect. Instead, walk in faith. You’re
going in the right direction, so you don’t need to worry
about too much else for now.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can be hard
on yourself. You can’t see what you could be giving
yourself credit for. For instance, you’re willing to try new
things. You have no idea how many people are afraid to
take the chances you take regularly.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are many
ways to speak love, but none of them are quite as
effective as simply showing up to the daily actions with
something slightly more than was expected.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you’re doing
feels like it’s in the right ballpark, but perhaps you’d be
better suited to another position on the team. Investigate
to find out what else may be available to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re not just
passively hearing what someone says. You honor their
expression by bringing your curiosity and imagination
into play, reflecting an interpretation and dancing with
the ideas.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 8). You’ll master the art of
getting to know people. You’ll read them well, learn them
quickly and respond so effectively you’ll win friends,
jobs and trusted roles. Quality time with your favorites
will be a highlight. The key is to make plans often and far
in advance. A new interest has you developing your mind
and memory. Cancer and Pisces adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 9, 30, 11, 24 and 17.
