HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2021 Sagittarius Opening Statements
Under normal circumstances, humans prefer familiarity
and seek like-minds and kindred spirits. Novelty is a
lesser need, though still in the mix, and never stronger
than when activated by the Sagittarian arrow. The
Sagittarian sun makes this point: Without new input, we
go stagnant. Stagnation breeds toxicity. Stir things up
for health’s sake!
ARIES (March 21-April 19). In grade school, figuring
out who likes you could involve a note with boxes to
check. What unfolds today is not so different and will
likely depend on intermediaries.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Will intentions ripen if
you give them time? No. In fact, everything gets more
difficult and labored. So, do the confident thing. Act in
the moment; do it while you’re thinking about it; handle
it when it comes up.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The leading role, by
definition, cannot be had by everyone in the show.
People who want to take a more important role in your
life should earn it.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There will be no
shortcuts, as every path that seems quicker will actually
be a long, expensive stressfest. Stick to the well-worn
road and enjoy the ride.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). While you don’t need
anything else to feel whole, you still get the gnawing
feeling that this isn’t all there is for you. You may also
feel like you’re in the wrong room. But at least you’re free
to change your venue.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are easier things
to interpret than the message a loved one sends now,
like poems in a language you don’t speak or instructions
coded by spies. Don’t act or react until you get clarity.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In a revealing moment,
the masks and disguises of everyday life fade from view.
Love calls the soul forward to shine through your eyes.
This is how your loved ones see the real you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Nostalgia is a
context that not all of your historical relationships
are lucky enough to earn. Anyone who makes it into
this sentimental realm gets to live in the glow of your
goodwill today.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s
something about you that makes people want to impress
you. They’ll make promises they can’t entirely keep, but
that’s OK. If they do even half of it, you’ll come out ahead.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Saying no is easier
when you think of what you are saying yes to. A no to
dessert is a yes to your fitness plan, and a no to one
expenditure is a yes to a bigger one in the future.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A logical
understanding of the situation will not be enough to
move you to change. You have to feel it. Today, you will.
You’ll know and accept the truth of the matter.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Not everything of value
must be attained by sweat and struggle. Celebrate the
easy things in your life -- the things that require no effort
at all or are so pleasurable you don’t feel their energy
requirement.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 21). Eye on the prize,
you’ll stick to your path no matter what comes. This
commitment makes your life easier. There’s no room for
doubt or overthinking, so all falls into alignment. Your
steps become obvious, powerful and methodical. You’ll
gain followers, supporters and a soundtrack that keeps
everyone moving. Aquarius and Aries adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 8, 11, 4, 44 and 28.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2021 First Degrees of Sagittarius
On the first full day of the Sagittarius sun, the wind makes
a word and whispers it in the ears of every creature who
can roam. The word is “adventure.” If the thirst for a
fresh taste is not quenched, it will, in the weeks to come,
become a quest, an ache or a problem. Get in tune with
your curiosity so you can aim your interests accordingly.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). A lot of people think
things, and much less actually do the things they are
thinking. You’ll take it further by acting consistently in
one direction -- the habit of superstars.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). New people are coming
into your life. Let go of any pettiness holding you back
because you’re about to experience an expansion of the
heart.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your social life can’t be
sorted out with a quiz, questionnaire, profile or series
of hypothetical imaginings. You will click with someone
online, but you won’t know if there’s real chemistry until
you’re face to face.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). In injury, the hand
automatically goes to the hurt. It’s because touch heals. It
keeps it together. It establishes an energetic bond. Today,
you’ll use touch to remedy the situation.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s no need to reinvent
the wheel. Building on the knowledge of our elders isn’t
old-fashioned, it’s practical. You’ll benefit from a return
to tradition.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Rough patches are
nature’s usual way. It would be weird if you didn’t
hit them. So, keep going, fully aware that this is a
challenging situation, and your own personal limitations
are not to blame for the trouble.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are times to hustle,
chase and push but right now, a different approach
would be better. Pull back and work on what pleases you
without worrying about publicity or marketing. Allow
your desire to find you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Silver linings are
not just for clouds. A magical gilding can be found
in a difficult job, a prickly person or a regrettable
commitment. Look for the gleaming glint of value behind
the unfavorable circumstance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s no piece
of advice that will change everything or be applicable
always. If life is a school, lately it’s the sort that requires
you to cobble your own curriculum.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There is no right or
wrong way to become successful, but there are ways that
are a better fit that feel easier to you and create a sense
of joy as you go. Stand up for yourself. Achievement
doesn’t have to be painful.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It will be your
pleasure to supply the small things that seem to matter a
great deal to others. Doing so will be the win of the day.
Side note: Addressing people by their names will make
a difference.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Being drawn to a thing
doesn’t make it good and being repelled by a thing
doesn’t make it bad. It’s a matter of fit. Do not confuse a
bad fit with a lack of merit.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 22). Your love will
be reflected back to you. What could be finer than
this cosmic gift of reciprocity? In the weeks to come,
an adventure leads to a project, then a new stream of
income. Confidence grows as your habits get healthier,
which is worth more than money, but the financial bonus
you get in January is also fun! Virgo and Capricorn adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 33, 20, 1 and 7.
