Horoscope For Today: Monday, November 18th, 2024
Plenty is going on for the zodiac signs today!
The moon is in the nurturing water sign of Cancer, making us feel more empathetic and attuned to our feelings. Unfortunately, the moon forms an opposition to Venus, the planet of love, relationships, and money, in the sign of Capricorn, which can leave us feeling unbalanced and insecure, especially regarding circumstances surrounding these themes. We may struggle to know what is rational versus what is emotional or which side of ourselves to listen to.
However, there is some positive energy to look forward to as the sun in Scorpio forms a trine to Neptune, the planet of creativity and illusion, in dreamy Pisces. This is an exciting time of desiring to learn more, take in the pleasures of art and beauty, and lean into the more spiritual and mystical sides of ourselves. This energy can help us see things from a new perspective as we try to regain emotional balance.
Check your signs below (Rising and Sun!) to see what today has in store for you!
Aries
Today, you are weighing your options, Aries. You’re struggling with fear that you’re not doing enough, whether at work or where you want to be in life. Work/life balance isn’t always easy to strike, and it’s hard to tell what you genuinely need versus what you think is “best.” You could benefit from seeking out a mentor or guidance from a spiritual advisor as you sort through these emotions, as their perspective could be beneficial in helping you decide on how best to move forward.
Taurus
You’re wrestling with how to navigate the known and the unknown today, Taurus. Your desire for emotional security amongst what you’re familiar with makes sense, but looking around and seeing others in your life venture out and have refreshing experiences and growth makes you feel insecure. Going at your own pace is natural, but you should remember that what’s best for one isn’t for everyone. The best thing you can do for yourself is share some of your feelings with trusted friends and let them share their experiences, too—you may find that you’re perfectly content with where you are when you aren’t stuck in your head about what could be.
Gemini
You’re some tension surrounding the ability to provide for yourself, Gemini. You long to feel secure by having money (or, at the very least, enough work) available for you, and you have a sense of pride about being able to care for yourself. However, we all need a little help occasionally, or we may have others who rely on us, making us feel we must become indebted to others, which isn’t an easygoing feeling. However, the best way you can work through this is to continue to do your best in your work life, knowing that as you excel and put the effort in, you’ll make a bigger name for yourself down the road that can put you in the more secure position you long for right now.
Cancer
The pull between what you owe yourself and what you owe to those you love is hitting hard today, Cancer. While you do want to show love and nurture your friends, partners, and close relationships, you also know that tending to yourself and being authentic to who you are is essential. You could feel that there isn’t enough space for both, which can feel daunting. Know that there is always room to take care of you, and if you haven’t made the space for it, take the time today to indulge in something that brings you joy or take on a new experience that excites you. If you can’t nurture yourself, how are you supposed to do so for anyone else?
Leo
You’re longing to get into a routine and care for yourself, Leo, but your mental health feels like a barrier. We can set up overwhelming expectations for ourselves, only to feel like a failure if we can’t make them happen. It’s okay if you can’t get your routine up and running today—it’s more in your best interest to examine what is messing with you mentally instead. Especially if repressed emotions are at play, it’s worth managing them rather than trying to ignore them with physical distractions.
Virgo
You’re proud of projects and creative endeavors you’re working on, but you’re struggling with a lack of validation today, Virgo. You are excited about what you’re doing, filling you with joy, but the desire for it to be beloved and admired on a larger scale makes you lose sight of why you’re doing this in the first place. It’s easy to allow a lack of interest from others to dampen our spirits, so instead of focusing on the strangers online who aren’t paying attention, turn to a more local audience or the people you trust the most to share these things. You may find you’re even more inspired and have more to work with when you refocus on the original purpose of your creation.
Libra
The desire to be known versus playing weighs heavily on you today, Libra. When you’re at work or presenting yourself on a more public scale, you feel more recognized for your efforts and who you are. However, when you’re at home or holding yourself back, you feel unappreciated, making you want to push further into your work life. While a work/life balance is important, it’s okay to want to apply yourself and work hard, especially when it makes you feel good about yourself. Reframe your perspective and remind yourself (and potentially discuss with others who it affects) that the work you’re putting in can help provide more security for your home life. It’s also important to voice the desire to be appreciated—people can’t read your mind, especially if you hide your feelings.
Scorpio
You feel most like yourself when discovering new aspects of yourself, Scorpio. Today, though, it feels like others would rather you stick to what is familiar, and it makes you feel ungrateful for longing for something bigger than what you’ve already experienced. However, uncovering new experiences is what fosters our growth, so leaning into these ideas today will help you feel more assured and confident in who you are—the people in your life who love you will see that and hopefully offer more of their support, but know your happiness matters, too.
Sagittarius
You’re wrestling with some karmic issues resurfacing and how best to handle them, Sagittarius. Whether financial or emotional, today reminds you that you have some debts to repay—even more frustrating when it feels like you’re just now getting some footing that was setting you up to be in a good, stable place. You can’t avoid what you owe, but you can take some time to seek out stability and security in new ways and remind yourself that occasional sacrifices help bring you closer to where you need to be in life. Try not to let the past completely derail you from the present and future, as there is still so much good to look forward to.
Capricorn
The desire to make some changes to yourself is on your mind today, Capricorn. You may long to change up your look or style and how you present yourself, but you worry that those changes won’t sit well with the people you love. While being true to yourself is necessary, feeling apprehensive and wanting acceptance from people you value so deeply makes sense. Before making any final decisions, you could test this out with smaller changes and see how people at large react to help ease you into the transition—you may be surprised at how much confidence you’ll have in the process.
Aquarius
You long to disappear into yourself today, Aquarius, but there is always another task to fulfill. You may feel as though you’re on the verge of uncovering something important about yourself, but the demands of daily life leave you feeling guilty for not focusing on them. You can’t avoid your responsibilities, so take today to lean into them and focus on getting as much accomplished as possible so that you can take time to yourself later to sift through crucial feelings.
Pisces
It’s not always easy to balance what you want versus what others want, Pisces, and today is testing you on that front. You have some exciting opportunities to connect with friends and groups who share your interests, but you’re wrestling with what you “should” be interested in or the types of people you should be aligning with. Your ego can get in the way if you’re not careful. Taking today to explore new ideas and perspectives will help you uncover a version of yourself you likely didn’t expect—it’s time to throw out the rulebook on who you should or shouldn’t be and figure out what you want.
