HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2021 Aries Moon Freshness
The answer is very simple but executing it requires time
and focus, both of which might be tied up. Where is the
time being used? We must go to that place and reroute.
Where is the energy expended, and how can we redirect
it to what we want? Resources may be very easily freed
once we recognize how they are currently being used.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re learning
something new. See yourself as proficient in this
process. Visualize yourself on a stage doing the thing.
The audience perspective will be your success key.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll lead with civility,
although your manners may fall into combat with other
forces such as power dynamics, rivalries, the need for
justice or the responsibility to protect.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It takes confidence to
make the first move, and you’ll be lucky when you do.
People will return your calls, respond to your warmth,
and include and invite you. You’ll be appreciated.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The ones who can’t see
how skilled you are simply aren’t experienced enough to
recognize it. There are many who will understand what
you’re doing; you just have to find the right circles.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You make things happen by
believing they will. Your expectation creates a way. Share
your hopes. The more believers there are, the more ways
there will be to make those beliefs come true.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The success of your day
will depend on what you do but, more specifically, the
order in which you do them. The best order is: First,
things you don’t want to do. Second, whatever you want.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As far as attention goes,
you’re pretty low-maintenance lately. Hopefully, it won’t
bother you to be the center of the action tonight -- it’s
just your turn, is all.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Life is an adventure,
though you can’t always perceive it that way, especially
when you’re in a comfortable phase of repetitive life. A
pattern interruption is needed.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Changes are
coming. These are not the sort that need you to make a
decision, so you can relax. The skill to hone now is one
of acceptance, with an attitude of gratitude.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll meet a
potential friend -- a true kindred who requires you to be
no other than who you are. You won’t need to promote
yourself or put on any kind of affectation. You’re perfect
“as is.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll observe others
without judging them. It’s saintly behavior, but that’s not
why you do it. Nonjudgment allows you to see and know
more about the way things really are.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The ancient Egyptians
believed everything was alive, including the rocks and
rivers. You’ll relate to the world as though this is true,
communicating with all you come across.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 14). What you want is
well-aligned with what the world needs. This year, you
will be like the moon, reflecting the glow of others back
to them and influencing wherever you are without having
to force or even touch an agenda. You will move and
glow up your world by simply obeying your own nature.
Virgo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are:
9, 30, 1, 11 and 17.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2021 Jupiter Dares the Sun
Most of our solar system is comprised of the sun. As the
next largest body, Jupiter is less than one thousandth
the mass of the sun. It’s negligible as far as size goes,
but when the Scorpio sun squares the planet named for
the king of thunder, rumblings are predicted, especially
between powerful, influential figures.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Someone is pulling
you down. Say goodbye for a while. The break will be
a blessing. You’ll get the pleasure of knowing where you
stand as an individual outside of the context of a group.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You cannot control how
many times a good thing crosses your path but you can
seize the opportunity when it arises. If you can’t use the
resource in one place, you’ll use it somewhere else.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re looking ahead to
a time you’ll be working in an entirely different scale. You
don’t currently have the resources to do what’s required
of you on the other side, but you’ll attain them along the
way.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be interesting to
the people around you. First, you’ll get their curiosity,
and then their continued attention. Over time you’ll see
evidence of your influence.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your attitude and appearance
speak for you. You don’t have to say anything at all to tell
the world about yourself. People’s responses to you will
surprise and inform you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The right move is often
one that is more work than the wrong move, but not
always. Today, you’ll get lucky, and the right thing will
also be the easy thing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your commitment to
bettering yourself and creating better experiences for
others will drive your choices. Note that improvement
doesn’t always require work. What’s most needed now is
rest and recovery.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Hyperbole won’t help
matters, so avoid exaggerations. When you stop looking
for the best, worst, nicest or meanest, you will see life for
what it really is.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The thing you do
feels automatic, but in fact, it’s a decision. Go back to the
crossroads. Do not make a turn. Stand in contemplation.
What choices have you been missing?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s appropriate to
be aggressive in the heat of the game, but this occasion
so rarely comes up. You’ll be ready when it does. In
the meantime, you’ll flex your mercy, compassion and
empathy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Expect a variety pack
of challenges -- some logistical, others having to do with
communication and a few that speak directly to what
you’ve been working on. With your sporting attitude, this
should be fun!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Go ahead and take on
the hard task because much will be accomplished inside
of the project. You’ll conquer fear, transform a piece of
your world and create a new habit, all in one go!
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 15). Your heart keeps
getting fuller. Your choices will seem unconventional,
but you’ve a keen instinct for what’s good for you and
will, as a result, lift your health, well-being and the
quality of your life and relationships. You’ll see parts of
the world that are new to you, and yet your travels will
seem to bring you home. Leo and Sagittarius adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 20, 1 and 42.
