Horoscope for Today: Saturday, November 23, 2024

With the sun now in the adventurous domain of Sagittarius, the moon’s first transit through analytical and detailed Virgo this season is going to feel challenging. The two signs form a square, sharing little in common. While our drive to explore, study, and broaden our horizons is compelling us forward as a collective, the moon encourages us to slow down and anticipate our next moves with caution.

We’ll be resisting this push-pull energy for most of the day, but work and productivity are definitely still possible if we channel it in a constructive way, such as making calculated and well-reasoned choices about cross-cultural collaborations. If you happen to be traveling for work during this time, you’ll find the energy conducive to getting a lot done while waylaid at the airport or taking a lengthy commute by train into the city.

It will otherwise be smooth sailing all day until the moon makes its first major aspect fairly late in the day. At 7:24 PM EST, it will make a harsh opposition with Saturn in Pisces at 12°, reflecting the grandiosity of our hopes and dreams this evening and the inevitable restrictions that will prevent us from attaining all we can.

While Saturn often represents delays and setbacks, it can also indicate that certain things are being solidified. As such, some people will experience this transit in a more positive way—for instance, by buckling down to complete a very serious creative project thanks to a spark of sudden inspiration.

Night owls will be pleased to learn that this free-flowing artistic atmosphere continues until late in the evening. At 11:21 PM, the moon forms a trine with Venus in Capricorn at 14°, delivering rewards, both material and spiritual, to everyone who has been plodding along dutifully. This is the moment to pop the champagne and celebrate a hard day’s work.

How can you expect today to fall out for you personally? Read on according to your rising sign for a general forecast.

Aries.

The sun is now cruising through your ninth house, encouraging you to explore your relationship to idealism and higher learning. Today the moon is hanging out in your sixth house, placing your focus on your health and daily routine. Don’t push yourself too hard and risk burning yourself out: this evening, when it makes an opposition with Saturn in your twelfth house, you’re going to be feeling overly tired, both physically and mentally. If you get your second wind, it will probably be very late tonight, when the moon forms a trine with Venus in your tenth house, at which point you might receive public accolades for a project you’ve been working on, or find out you’re getting promoted to a higher-status role at your job.

Taurus.

The sun has just entered your eighth house, turning your focus inward as you attempt to navigate the landscape of your psyche. Today the moon will transit through your fifth house, giving you the confidence to pursue your creative goals and romanticize the mundane aspects of your life. However, when the moon opposes Saturn in your eleventh house tonight, you can expect to face limitations, whether from your social network or your broader community, whose ideas on relationships and art may be slightly more conventional than yours. Hold fast to what you know to be true; it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else. In the late hours this evening, the moon forms a trine to Venus in your ninth house, providing an opportunity to integrate your emotional and spiritual desires in a constructive way. You’ll feel a sense of freedom from the expectations of others.

Gemini.

The sun is now stationed in your seventh house, putting your focus on all things relational: business partners, best friends, and long-term romantic partners. Today the moon is transiting through your fourth house, reflecting your desire for domesticity and comfort. It’s okay to be a homebody today. However, as much as you may wish to hide away from the world, you’ll have to face it eventually: when the moon faces an opposition with Saturn in your tenth house tonight, you’ll find it difficult to avoid professional responsibilities. It could be worth it, though, for the financial rewards, since much later tonight, the moon forms a trine to Venus in your eighth house, indicating a surprise windfall.

Cancer.

With the sun now holding court in your sixth house, you’ll be impressively fastidious and disciplined both with your health routine and the daily grind at the office. Today, as the moon moves through your third house, your local community will benefit from your strong communication skills; it’s a great day to give a presentation or tactfully disarm someone who is slinging verbal attacks. Tonight, the moon’s opposition to Saturn in your ninth house may disrupt the harmony: try not to engage in good-faith debate with people who are blinded by their own ideological biases. Much later, the moon will form a trine to Venus in your seventh house, giving you the perfect opportunity to have a profound emotional conversation with your partner. If you’re single, this is a promising transit too: leave the house prepared for a potential meet-cute.

Leo.

The sun is now situated in your fifth house, infusing this season with a feeling of childlike excitement and bringing new possibilities for romance. Today, the moon is cruising through your second house, providing you with a grounded and realistic perspective on how to manage your finances. However, tonight’s moon-Saturn opposition on your second and eighth house axis is a frustrating transit; you might find yourself unable to secure a loan or mortgage, or a long-awaited inheritance might take some more time to reach you. Exercise patience and be frugal in the meantime. Later tonight, the moon’s trine to Venus in your sixth house encourages you to work smarter, not harder, so you can secure a more stable future for yourself.

Virgo.

With the sun now in your fourth house, your devotion will be to your family, especially if you have specific holiday traditions or religious rituals that have profound significance to you. Today, as the moon makes its way through your first house, you’ll appear more sensitive and approachable, and you’ll be able to provide a maternal, nurturing energy to any of your loved ones who might need guidance right now. This evening, the moon forms an opposition to Saturn in your seventh house, encouraging productive and mature dialogue with your partner—or helping provide some brutally honest perspective on what isn’t working in your relationship. Much later tonight, the moon’s trine to Venus in your fifth house gives you a spark of authentic creativity that you’ll want to capitalize on while the time is right. Follow the thread of inspiration wherever it leads you.

Libra.

The sun is now in your third house, emphasizing the importance of your local community and perhaps taking you back to your hometown as you reconnect with extended family. Today the moon is making its way through your twelfth house, giving you a more introspective and quiet perspective. Have to spend time socializing all day? Make some time to isolate yourself and journal or meditate if you feel overwhelmed by sensory stimuli; tonight, when the moon opposes Saturn in your sixth house, you will likely feel the effects of burnout. Later tonight, when the moon trines Venus in your fourth house, you’ll feel rejuvenated and ready to get involved in practical domestic activities, like decorating for the holidays with your family or sending out invitations for an upcoming dinner party.

Scorpio.

With the sun now situated in your second house, you’ll be focusing more on growing your wealth and achieving your goals. But today, as the moon transits through your eleventh house, you might find yourself thrown off balance by the needs of the many: your group chat is likely to be buzzing and active, and your professional network will be more responsive than usual. This evening, the moon’s opposition to Saturn in your fifth house activates your desire to lock in a casual fling or take a creative project more seriously than ever before. Take your pleasure seriously right now, knowing that you can harness it to create something long-lasting and durable. In the late hours of the night, the moon forms a trine with Venus in your third house, opening the doors for dialogue with a partner. Don’t be afraid to use this opportunity to ask for more commitment. There’s a good chance they’re ready for the next step, too.

Sagittarius.

The sun is now in your first house, giving you a confidence boost and a physical glow-up that everyone around you can see. Today, as the moon makes its way through your tenth house, your public reputation is valuable to you, and you possess the ability to handle large-scale presentations at work without any micromanagement. If you have to step into a leadership role today, do so with confidence and self-assurance; your words have a great deal of impact on the world at large. Tonight’s moon-Saturn opposition on your tenth and fourth house axis, however, will force you to balance your personal and professional lives. Potentially, you’ll have to sacrifice something at work in order to keep the stability and order of your household. Very late this evening, the moon’s trine to Venus in your second house indicates that this will inevitably have a positive outcome on both your finances and your career, so don’t panic.

Capricorn.

With the sun now hanging out in your twelfth house, your thoughts are turned inward and you are about to begin a season of aloneness in order to complete a project that you feel passionately about. Today, with the moon transiting your ninth house, you’ll feel more inclined to speak and write about your spiritual or religious leanings; it’s also a good time to consider going back to school or traveling abroad if you’re feeling the itch to lose yourself in someone else’s culture for a while. This evening, the moon opposes Saturn in your third house, reminding you to slow down and weigh all the possible options before making a spontaneous decision. Much later on tonight, the moon will form a trine to Venus in your first house, giving you the green light to change something about your identity, whether that involves stepping into a new role at work or going back to your natural brunette after years of bleaching and toning. Your switch-up will be well-received, making you more attractive to others than you have felt in a long time.

Aquarius.

The sun is now in your eleventh house, broadening your social network and giving you more opportunities to pursue your wildest dreams. Nothing seems out of reach right now, and with the right connections, you can surely achieve whatever you want. Today, with the moon in your eighth house, you may need to prioritize paying off debts you’ve been avoiding or catching up with your therapist to talk about the things you’ve been losing sleep over. Be radically honest and trust that the people in your inner circle have your best interests at heart. Tonight, the moon opposes Saturn in your second house, placing financial restrictions on you and inviting you to try paring down your impulse purchases. It’s a difficult time of year to practice self-restraint, but you’ll be much happier entering the new year with a little extra in your savings. Later on this evening, the moon makes a trine to Venus in your twelfth house, gently helping you understand your own subconscious on a deeper level. Pay attention to your dreams tonight.

Pisces.

Now that the sun is in your tenth house, you’ll feel more self-assured than you have in a long while as the spotlight beams down upon you. Everyone gets their fifteen minutes; yours just might come along soon. However, you’ll be equally interested in how the cosmos influences your best friends and your partner today, as the moon in your seventh house places your attention on your closest relationships. Tonight, the moon’s opposition to Saturn in your first house will force you to take responsibility for something you’ve been slacking on within your personal relationships. Listen to your partner without judgment and prepare to make changes to make them feel more desired and appreciated. Much later, the moon’s trine to Venus in your eleventh house opens up your social world. Accept any and all invitations to parties this holiday season, and check your DMs to see who wants to work with you.
