Daily Horoscope November 12, 2011

Aries: A trip may be delayed, your arrival late or communications missed. Treat today like Mercury retrograde - double check all.

Taurus: You are more likely to follow impulse toward a moment of gratification than wisdom applied to long term growth.

Gemini: You want some attention at the same time your mate is feeling needy or not interested in giving. Timing is off.

Cancer: Repressing emotions or waiting for something can make you irritable & restless. A friend entertains & distracts you.

Leo: Your plans & wishes for outward bound shared activities may be thwarted when others have different plans or schedules.

Virgo: Work on the weekend? Maybe you have overtime or you must put off family plans so you can catch up on business.

Libra: Getting lost, delayed or missing appointments, connections or calls is possible. Be sure to confirm, time, tickets, etc.

Scorpio: You may overestimate the value of an investment. Purchases today could devalue or just break even if sold later.

Sagittarius: Your tastes or interests may not be shared by another now. Work is more satisfying that socializing or romance.

Capricorn: Ignore an urge to get involved in secrets or gossip at work or to complain about how awful something is.

Aquarius: You may have to choose between two things happening simultaneously. You would like to do both, but can't.

Pisces: You may be traveling for work & wish you were home, or trying to handle home matters while work interrupts.

A promising trine between Mars in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus gives us the fuel for big plans when we begin our day, but the moon in Gemini soon opposes Mercury conjunct Venus in Sagittarius. Pieces that were meant to pull together, don't. If our plans hinge on getting several people on the same schedule or even interested in doing the same thing, we may be frustrated or disappointed. If we thought we were decided on something, suddenly there are other things that look just as enticing. Poor Mars in Virgo doesn't know what to do today. The Mars/Jupiter trine wants to formalize something, see a reward for efforts, or follow a logical sequence when planning something. The Mars/Neptune opposition tosses things that are confusing, illogical or out of the range of normal in our path. On the global level, demonstrations against impractical rules or regulations may increase now. There may be a demand for accountability and truth. Within your own life, something that you may have respected, or at least adhered to, may now seem absurd. Mars in Virgo quincunx Uranus in Aries is an extremely inventive energy. Practical, precise, pioneering energy blends now to precipitate functional change. Those changes may arise out of necessity. The planetary energy today can bring social, romantic, travel, or communication challenges but also the ability to stretch the mind to another level. We are able to grow in ways we never thought possible as the planets nudge us to adapt, adjust, invent and improvise on the fly. Emotions rise and burst like bubbles now - in fact, if you attempt to hold on to a mood in an effort to manipulate a person or situation, you won't be able to do it today - the other person will see right through you. The youthful energy of the Gemini moon opposing the show off energy of Mercury/Venus in Sagittarius makes us all bad actors now - as transparent as a conniving six year old child. Adults may have a hard time remembering to act like grownups or use "indoor" voices!
