Your lookahead horoscope: November 24, 2024

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You must avoid extremes over the coming year. When dealing with people whose approach to life is all or nothing you cannot allow their excesses to affect your own behavior. Be true to who you are and be the one who looks to compromise first.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Don’t waste your time putting up with other people’s bad behavior or sitting around listening to their complaints – with the sun moving through the most adventurous area of your chart you can pack a bag and leave whenever you please. Why are you still here?

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

There will be times over the next few days when you could easily cry at how stupid some people are, but laughing at them would be a better response. Not only will it make you feel better but it might shame them into raising their game.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Honesty is always the best policy and as your ruler Mercury is about to begin one of its retrograde phases you must be brutal in your assessment of what’s going on. You can hide your thoughts if you like but they will come out eventually.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You can be a star or you can be a nobody, the choice is yours alone, but why limit yourself to one extreme or the other? You can be special in numerous ways that don’t require you to take centre stage and make a spectacle of yourself.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Not only does the sun’s transit through the most dynamic area of your chart make this one of the best times of the year but with Mars in your sign as well there really is nothing you cannot do. Don’t try to do everything though. Be selective.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You have undergone a number of personal changes in recent weeks and need time to work out what it all means. Don’t rush the process though. As your ruler Mercury is about to begin its retrograde phase you must be thorough in your thinking.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

The bigger the ideas you have over the coming week the more likely it is you will upset people who are suspicious of change. Don’t listen to their complaints that you are aiming too high – the reality is that they are aiming way too low.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

As one of the smarter members of the zodiac you know how to learn from other people’s mistakes and there will be no end of opportunities to do that over the next few days. Don’t just laugh at their errors, profit from them too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

If you give your all over the coming week the universe will reward you in ways that make your sacrifices worthwhile. The only cloud on the horizon is that as Mercury begins its retrograde phase you must not allow yourself to become over-confident.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

It may not be easy for you to relax but you must find ways to do so this week. Even an ambitious Capricorn such as yourself needs to slow down and take a step back once in a while. It’s the only way to see the bigger picture.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You may in some ways still be attached to the past but in others you are determined to push ahead and create a brave new future for yourself. Don’t expect everyone to go along with your plans but don’t let the naysayers hold you back either.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

What would you do over the next few days if time and money were no object? Focus on that thought and be ready to follow your dream when the chance arises. A little bit of effort on your part could bring the most incredibly positive results.
