Horoscope for Today: Wednesday, November 27, 2024

The morning begins with the moon in the later degrees of Libra, where it has been empowering us to be more intentional with our loved ones. At 4:14 AM EST, it makes a sextile with retrograde Mercury at 22° of Sagittarius, emphasizing the value of freedom, independence, and communication within our relationships.

This is a good time to consider how your closest partnerships can fit into the larger picture of your life: would your person come with you on a spontaneous trip across Europe, or move cross-country for your dream master’s program? Fortunately, this energy provides positive energy under which to have these difficult conversations without becoming too egotistical or individualistic. Compromise is possible.

However, with Mercury retrograde, there is always the risk of being misunderstood, so choose your words carefully and be mindful of your partner’s communication style, especially if it’s starkly different from your own. If you can get yourselves out of your respective comfort zones, you can break through the dissonance and obtain clarity on how to be in union while staying true to yourselves.

While the moon’s transit through the sign of Libra is representative of the honeymoon phase, as they say, the darker side of soul-bonding becomes apparent when la lune ingresses into sensual and seductive Scorpio just in time for the sun to go down.

At 7:21 PM, the bonds are loosened. Anything goes. This is dark territory. Tonight is a time conducive to deep, transformative experiences, particularly as the moon makes a square to Pluto in Aquarius at 0°. On the global stage, we can anticipate deeply emotional reactions to shocking revelations from world leaders.

Compared to the relatively free-flowing, breezy energy we experienced earlier this morning and afternoon, the cosmic weather is undeniably much more chaotic, the metaphorical calm before the storm. With the influence of Pluto, whatever secrets come out tonight are likely to resonate for years to come, shifting our individual and collective understanding of how society really operates—and how, perhaps, it should, if everyone is to receive just and fair treatment.

What will happen for you today? It isn’t as simple as reading a generic forecast, but if you want a very general rundown, read the following—according to your rising sign, not sun sign.

Aries.

Early this morning, as the moon in your seventh house sextiles retrograde Mercury in your ninth, you’ll be motivated to get deep with your partner, talking about the things that you agree—and disagree—on. This could be a profoundly healing experience, offering you both greater insight into each other’s worldviews. However, Mercury is still retrograde, so be cautious and tread lightly. You could misunderstand each other, or things could get heated if you don’t approach the discussion with grace and understanding. This evening, when the moon ingresses into your eighth house and forms a square to Pluto in your eleventh, you may wish to share your insights with the crowd, but be aware that your particular style of brutal honesty might not land the way you want it to.

Taurus.

In the early hours of the morning, the moon in your sixth house makes a sextile to retrograde Mercury in your eighth, inciting you to take action and communicate your desire to take an unconventional approach at work—or take on a side hustle that will increase your earning potential overall. Keep in mind that with Mercury still retrograde, your efforts might not be appreciated. It’s not a good idea to officially launch a project or business, either; use this time to brainstorm or revisit old ideas instead. This evening the moon ingresses into your seventh house, squaring off against Pluto in your tenth, creating friction between your closest relationships and your public image.

Gemini.

Early this morning, as the moon in your fifth house makes a sextile to retrograde Mercury in your seventh, you will be unable to ignore difficulties in your relationship any longer. No matter how hard you’ve tried to make things work, for many of you, the spark is gone. Either you or your partner will blindside you with an admission that requires a challenging conversation. With Mercury still retrograde, you might say something in the heat of the moment that you definitely don’t mean and wish you could take back. Be careful with each other’s hearts. Tonight, the moon ingresses into your sixth house, where it will square off against Pluto in your ninth, reflecting conflict between your ideological beliefs and daily routine. If your health or work environment is giving you a crisis of faith, it’s okay to sit with the discomfort.

Cancer.

The day begins with the moon in your fourth house sextile retrograde Mercury in your sixth, reflecting a certain moodiness about having to balance work and home life. You may find it difficult to stay organized or communicate your ideas to coworkers, with Mercury still retrograde; if you choose to WFH today, you might deal with technological issues. This evening, when the moon moves into your fifth house and squares Pluto in your eighth, the tonal shift will be immediate and tangible: you’ll be hit with either a strong erotic or creative desire that you feel the sudden, all-consuming need to satisfy. It could make for a fun night with your partner, or a chance to completely lose yourself in an artistic project.

Leo.

In the early hours of the day, the moon in your third house sextile retrograde Mercury in your fifth encourages open dialogue between you and your short-term fling—or, if you’re unattached, gives you the power to use your words to communicate something very powerful that bridges the gap between cultures and traditions. You possess the tact required to reach a wide audience and not alienate anyone. However, with Mercury retrograde, your message might be misinterpreted or taken out of context, so be wary of those who act in bad faith. Tonight, the moon ingresses into your fourth house, where it will form a square with Pluto in your seventh, setting the tone for a new beginning in your home life, such as cohabitating with your partner or introducing them to the family for the first time.

Virgo.

Early today, the moon in your second house makes a sextile to retrograde Mercury in your fourth, so you can anticipate that the people you share a home with are going to make your money their business somehow. Whether you receive a text from a relative asking for a loan, or your roommate informs you they won’t be able to make rent this month, you’re in for a frustrating conversation regarding your earnings, and with Mercury retrograde, you can almost guarantee that you will be misunderstood. Try and stay calm and rational even if others are volatile. It’s important to set boundaries. This evening, the moon ingresses into your third house, where it will square off against Pluto in your sixth, placing your focus on your health and daily habits, which inevitably need to change in order to improve your verbal communication skills and the way you show up in your local community.

Libra.

Early this morning, as the moon in your first house sextiles retrograde Mercury in your third, you feel empowered to express yourself authentically to your local community. Unfortunately, since Mercury is still retrograde, your attempts at diplomatic peacekeeping might not be as joyfully received as you might have hoped. Accept that misunderstandings and even outright malice may come as a result of your well-intentioned efforts. This evening, when the moon ingresses into your second house and squares off against Pluto in your fifth, you’ll undoubtedly be tempted to self-soothe with retail therapy. If you’re in a casual relationship, rely on your partner for emotional support instead.

Scorpio.

In the early hours of the morning, the moon in your twelfth house makes a sextile to retrograde Mercury in your second, possibly thrusting you into an existential crisis about your finances. Try not to lose yourself in the shame spiral; instead, focus on what you can control, and take small steps towards improving your economic situation. While Mercury is retrograde, we can tend to reflect back on past mistakes we’ve made. In this case, your mistakes can guide you to make better choices in the future. Later tonight, the moon moves into your first house, where it squares Pluto in your fourth, placing a strong emotional emphasis on improving your home and family life.

Sagittarius.

In the early hours today, the moon in your eleventh house forms a sextile to retrograde Mercury in your first, giving you the confidence to speak your mind freely to a wide audience: your colleagues, professional rivals, and broader social community. However, give yourself some grace if you slip up. Despite your desire and capacity to communicate as clearly as possible, Mercury is still retrograde, causing technological glitches and slips of the tongue that cannot always be avoided. Do the best you can to deliver your message with confidence but forgive yourself for any unexpected mishaps. This evening, when the moon ingresses into your twelfth house and squares off against Pluto in your third, you will likely ruminate on your mistakes. Shut your brain off with some white noise or fall asleep to a guided meditation rather than fixating on the small details you can’t change.

Capricorn.

Early this morning, the moon in your tenth house sextile retrograde Mercury in your twelfth, inciting the courage you need to take a bold philosophical or spiritual stance public. The world needs your specific style of communication: equal parts passion and power. However, with Mercury still retrograde, your message is best kept to yourself for now. Rather than launching a new project or business now, go back to the drawing board and spend some time evaluating what you can discard and what you can improve on. Tonight, the moon makes its move into your eleventh house, where it will square off with Pluto in your second, providing you with the opportunity to radically change both your social circle and your earning potential.

Aquarius.

Early today, the moon in your ninth house forms a sextile with retrograde Mercury in your eleventh, broadening both your spiritual open-mindedness and your social circle, but be wary of speaking too boldly to people who are not quite on your level. Mercury is still retrograde, and you might find yourself the target of harassment due to misunderstandings that can be easily avoided by simply staying mute. If you have to speak, do so after weighing your words very carefully. Your personal reputation and identity is about to undergo a huge reckoning: this evening, the moon’s ingress into your tenth house, and subsequent square with Pluto in your first, places you at the mercy of the court of public opinion. Anything you say can and will be used against you.

Pisces.

Today begins with the moon in your eighth house sextile retrograde Mercury in your tenth, stirring your impulse to share your raw, unfiltered thoughts and feelings on the world stage. As noble as this desire may be, with Mercury still retrograde, be cautious: everything you say right now is likely to be scrutinized with a fine-toothed comb. Some of you may become embroiled in scandals you thought you left far behind, thanks to the tendency of Mercury retrograde to dredge up the past. Wait it out with patience, remembering that this, too, shall pass. This evening, when the moon shifts into your ninth house and squares off with Pluto in your twelfth, you might get a much-needed reality check regarding some of your deeply held convictions. Embrace the cognitive dissonance and try to understand that you don’t actually know everything.
