Horoscope For Today: Friday, November 22nd, 2024

We start the day with some unexpected frustrations, but things will balance out by the end for the zodiac signs!

Today kicks off with the moon in fiery, spirited Leo forming a tense square to Uranus (the planet of rebellion and surprises) in Taurus, which makes us feel eccentric and relatively moody. We may deal with unexpected changes that push us to want to be impulsive, but making hasty decisions based on these feelings is sure to backfire. While it won’t be easy, it’s in our best interest to navigate this time with patience and grace as much as possible.

Later, the moon will move into the practical earth sign Virgo, which forces us to approach our emotions more analytically. We feel more focused and determined, which can help us think through our day and make more well-informed choices to solve our issues instead of the reckless ones we were considering before. 

Check your signs below (Rising and Sun!) to see what today has in store for you!

Aries

You’re itching to make some changes to how you earn money, Aries, but be mindful of what is motivating you. It’s preferable for most of us to be able to make money doing something we love or that excites us, and it can get under our skin when we struggle to make money through our creativity. Part of you may even feel tempted to make a rash decision involving your work—keep in mind that quitting or abandoning your creativity won’t solve your problem. Later in the day, when you’re feeling more level-headed, embrace doing your current work to the best of your ability—you can make plans as to how to involve more creative aspects in your job or work on setting aside time to indulge your creative side.

Taurus

You’re wrestling with how to express yourself while carrying the weight of everything, Taurus. Notably, if you’re the person most responsible for keeping things in line in your daily life, today has you feeling like you’re at a breaking point—and the desire to bail on your tasks and let the chips fall where they may is feeling rather tempting. It’s true that you deserve to be appreciated, and sometimes people have to learn not to take things for granted, but any “life lesson” you try to teach by withholding or blowing people off won’t give you the results you’re hoping for. Instead, be clear that you need to take some time for yourself to blow off some steam and spend the afternoon indulging in whatever makes you happy. Everyone deserves a break, yourself included. 

Gemini

You’re feeling misunderstood today, Gemini, and it’s enough to send you spiraling if you aren’t careful. The desire for people to understand where we are coming from is human, but unfortunately, miscommunications are bound to happen. Today, it’s feeling more personal, and you’re tempted to be harder on yourself and necessary. While it’s easy to believe our thoughts when they are bombarding us with negative thinking, resist the urge to self-sabotage—I promise you won’t feel better after. Instead, turn to the people who love and support you most, or find something to do that makes you feel grounded and safe, such as meditation or staying in and reading. You’ll benefit much more from it.

Cancer

Your desire to belong could cost you more than you bargained for, Cancer. It’s not a crime to want to be accepted, and we can find solace in groups that share our visions and dreams, but sometimes we can take it too far. You may be challenged to or assume that you must do something reckless to “fit in” to a space you’ve been longing for, even if it goes against your better judgment. Please don’t fall for it because it’s sure to backfire. Instead, be confident in your opinions and unique points of view that you have to offer—if that isn’t enough for that group to accept you, know that staying true to yourself will help you find the people who will.

Leo

You want to express yourself, Leo, but what are you willing to risk to do so? When it comes to living our lives out loud, we know that we may have to undergo some risks to do so. Alternatively, we may feel the need to hide parts of ourselves to move through the world, including our workplaces or places where we are most visibly seen. Today, sudden changes that involve you dimming yourself not to make waves may frustrate you to the point where you want to make a statement. Be aware that if you take matters into your own hands at this moment, you won’t like the results and should be prepared to accept that. Later in the day, evaluate your core values and what makes you feel secure—it may be time to move on from the position, but burning bridges won’t help you in the future. 

Virgo

You’re feeling uncertain of who you are, Virgo, and it feels overwhelming as you start your day. You may feel as though you aren’t certain who you are versus who you are supposed to be, and deciphering what thoughts are yours and what thoughts you’ve been told to accept is easier said than done. You may find yourself undergoing a mini-crisis surrounding your identity or beliefs that would make anyone want to take off and isolate themselves away, but abandoning your life and loved ones isn’t going to help you navigate this. Use today to get to the root of who you are and who you want to be, whether through exploration, discussions with others, or learning and embracing new perspectives. 

Libra

You’re wrestling with the influence certain groups have in your life, Libra. You’re grateful for the support of friends and groups that share your values, but today, some unexpected changes could leave you feeling unsupported by the people you usually rely on. People can’t always be available to us (and unfortunately, sometimes people don’t want to!), leaving us feeling vulnerable enough to dive headfirst into connections that may not be good for us. Fight the urge to return to a past connection for solace—it won’t bring the comfort you need and will only make you feel worse. Instead, take some time for yourself and figure out the best ways to soothe and be your own source of support in times when others can’t help you self-regulate. It’s always a good reminder that you always have yourself to depend on.

Scorpio

You may struggle with some tension from certain people at your job today, Scorpio. We all have co-workers or people in the workplace who can frustrate us, and today could involve some surprises that leave you feeling more irritated than usual. The temptation to blow a fuse and go off on them is understandable, but know that’s what they want (and it won’t look good for you). Instead, bite your tongue and navigate the situation as best you can—they may end up helping you out later, or your handling of the situation may make a good impression on others who can help you down the road. 

Sagittarius

It’s frustrating to feel restricted, Sagittarius, but you’ll have to figure out how to mindfully deal with this feeling today. Some unexpected tasks or issues with your daily routine are only drawing more attention to the fact that you could be in the world doing something more adventurous. You may be playing out scenarios of bailing on your responsibilities and booking a plane ticket, but trust me when I tell you that it won’t solve your problems. Stick it out because later today (and over the next day or so), you may have an opportunity to change up your current position and embark on a new project or position, so remember that eyes are on you.

Capricorn

Things are weighing on you more than usual today, Capricorn. Even when you are given an opportunity to kick back and have a good time, you feel burdened by responsibilities, notably involving your commitments to others. Today, an unexpected invitation that you’re unable to accept can leave you feeling resentful, and you want to take it out on those you made promises to. This isn’t the wisest choice, especially since they are commitments you made. Follow through on your promises, but then spend the evening planning a trip or setting aside time for yourself geared toward exploration and fun—and don’t make any promises to others! You’ve earned time for yourself.

Aquarius

You want to show up for everyone, Aquarius, and today, it feels almost too much to handle. Some unexpected circumstances have you questioning who shows up for you when you’re in crisis, and you may feel tempted to jump to conclusions if you aren’t willing to wait to hear the whole story. While it’s not wrong to want people to match your energy, resist the temptation of cutting someone off before you have all the information. Later today, it’s worth taking time to sit with what you need out of important relationships and figure out how much of your energy you’re giving away with an expectation that others will automatically do the same. Sometimes, we have to be honest that we are running ourselves down to the wire emotionally and that we should be more mindful of who we invest so much of our time and energy into.

Pisces

You’re running yourself ragged today, Pisces, and you’re paying the price for it. Surprise commitments or tasks that you may have forgotten about resurface, only adding to the busyness of your day, and the frustration is enough for you to want to take it out on anyone who looks at you funny. We’ve all been there, but doing so won’t make you feel better—it will only make the day more difficult to get through. Do your best to make it through the day, and then lean on your loved ones for support and be willing to listen to them if they give you advice on balancing your time and energy. Sometimes, we need to hear it from someone who loves us, but taking care of yourself is important!
