Your lookahead horoscope: November 9, 2025

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY You won’t lack for good ideas over the coming year, but your birthday chart warns that only one or two of them will be worth pursuing. Set yourself one major goal and have a second goal as a backup for those days when you get bored. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): If you learn something to your advantage during the early part of the week be smart and keep it to yourself. That might sound selfish but the universe wants you to have a good crack at the opportunity before your rivals wise up. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): You may feel the need to be more adventurous but with luck planet Jupiter about to begin its retrograde phase that may not be the best idea you’ve ever had. Consolidate your recent gains over the next few days rather than risk losing them. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21): You may want to boost your finances but the planets warn you could end up making a drastic move that is completely unnecessary.

Netanyahu Cancels Israeli Delegation to U.S. After U.N. Ceasefire Vote

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled an Israeli delegation’s planned visit to Washington, D.C., scheduled for this week. The decision came after the United States refrained from vetoing a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The U.N. Security Council’s resolution marks the first time it has demanded an immediate ceasefire since the war began. Fourteen out of fifteen countries voted in favor of the resolution, which specifically called for a halt to fighting in Gaza during the month of Ramadan. Notably, the resolution did not impose any preconditions, such as the release of hostages.

The United States’ abstention from voting was a significant shift. Just last week, the U.S. submitted a draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire without linking it to the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The change in position reflects a departure from decades of stalwart support for Israel.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, emphasized the ongoing diplomatic efforts led by the United States, Qatar, and Egypt to secure an immediate and sustainable ceasefire. She stressed the need to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, who are in dire need of protection and life-saving humanitarian assistance.

Netanyahu’s decision to cancel the delegation’s trip underscores the tension surrounding the UN vote and highlights the delicate balance between international diplomacy and regional conflict. As the situation continues to evolve, the world watches closely for any signs of progress toward peace in the troubled region.

Last October, President Biden met with Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, but recent events have strained the traditionally strong U.S.-Israel relationship.

As the conflict persists, the international community remains hopeful for a resolution that brings an end to the violence and paves the way for lasting peace in the Middle East.
