With Saturn in your career zone, you need to adopt a long-term perspective. Work projects will take a while to get off the ground, and require much hard work and persistence. You’re in the mood to take charge but be careful your bossy behaviour doesn’t antagonise authority figures. Calm consultation is a smarter way to go.
Relationships need to be handled with care – don’t rush in like a Ram at a gate! Diplomacy and cooperation are the keys to a wonderful week. As birthday great Robert Louis Stevenson wrote “Compromise is the best and cheapest lawyer.” For some singles, the rose-coloured glasses come off and you see your partner in a stark new light.
The focus is on friendships – how to make them, nurture them, and keep them. True mates will boost your confidence and encourage you to follow your dreams. Your quote for the week is from Robert Louis Stevenson (born on November 13) “A friend is a gift you give yourself.” Family relationships are a minefield so tread carefully Crabs!
Venus is reversing through your sign, so avoid making important relationship or financial decisions until after November 19. Maximise your natural charm and networking skills but beware false flattery - and resist the urge to be talked into doing something that you disagree with. Make your Libran lifestyle a reflection of your core values and beliefs.
The more stubborn you are, the more difficult the week will be. Keep in mind the following saying “What you resist persists.” Perhaps it’s time to lighten the load and let go? Look to your circle of friends and acquaintances for positive advice and alternative views. Be extra discreet as you go about your daily routine – loose lips sink ships!
A new project or person fires up your enthusiasm mid-week but avoid taking on more than you can realistically handle, and make sure you communicate your ideas clearly. Don’t expect loved ones to behave in predictable (or logical) ways this weekend – but you can expect a romantic relationship or creative partnership to sparkle and shine.
This week you’re inclined to compulsive behaviour. Keep moving and avoid becoming obsessed with one idea (or person). Pursue your goals with purpose but be open to spontaneity and change. Mid-week is especially intense so pace yourself. Don’t let nagging self-doubt undermine your confidence. You have to be your Number One fan.
You’re keen to connect with others as the Moon, Mercury and Mars activate your networking zone. It’s time to mix and mingle; converse and communicate; investigate and inspire. People are waiting to hear what you’ve got to say so step up to the plate and start talking! Creativity is high on Sunday but don’t confuse fact with fantasy.
With the Sun lighting up your wellbeing zone, it’s time to focus on your physical health and fitness. Find a diet and exercise program that works for you. It must include plenty of variety (otherwise you’ll just get bored and give up!) Friends and finances are a messy mix at the moment, so find other ways to help a mate who has fallen on hard times.
Expect some friction mid-week as children, teenagers or friends become more entrenched in their opinions and are less likely to be reasonable. (Especially avoid getting drawn into heated discussions over money matters!) It’s time for versatile Virgos to flex your adaptability muscles. Friday favours communication, conversation and problem solving.
Act on your hunches and follow your dreams. With manic Mars in your sign, you’ve got energy to burn. Avoid making exaggerated claims (and promising more than you can deliver). Don’t get carried away! There’s a fine line between reaching for the stars and overreaching. If you take on too much, you’ll just end up in a disorganized mess.
Lust and loot are a volatile mix at the moment. If you can keep the bedroom and the boardroom separate, then you’ll have a better chance of succeeding at both. Keep it real though! Escaping into a fantasy world won’t make problems magically disappear. You need to be a firm and focused Fish, as you find creative solutions to current challenges.
