HoroscopesNovember 17 - November 23, 2014
Focus this week on how you want to improve or increase things in a way that can give you better recognition. This may involve people who have authority or an increase in authority you’d like to develop yourself. Some constructive conversations can take place. Avoid any temptation to be rebellious.
You may begin to wonder this week whether your willingness of late to respond to someone or to fi t in as well as can be expected has been worth the effort. Secrecy from them can begin to de-velop & continue to mid-Dec. There’ll be yet others who want to engage & communicate. Work your way through all of this.
Interactions with others will begin to take on a far more exciting mode this week & continue to mid-Dec. This may also bring new people into your life that seems to fulfi l your dreams in some way. Be careful you view them or their situation realistically. You still have detailed analytical cycles in operation as well – use them.
Any health issues of late may begin to take a new direction this week – watch that you’re not overdoing things. It’s wise to take a more balanced approach to their health & general well-being ‘til mid-Dec. This may be as a result of more than the usual amount of social activity of late.
More & more things coming your way can now demand that you put your mind to getting a workable plan in place this week that’ll enable you to deal with matters effectively. Social activity will step up from now to mid-Dec., & this can provide many pleasant distractions, including mysterious people. Stay focussed.
Find plenty of time to yourself this week to get your ideas, plans or thoughts in order. This may include trying to work out a vague situation someone else seems to be projecting into your life. Fo-cus on the things you enjoy & what’s important as a means of security that you know you can rely on in the future.
Before you spend this week, esp. on high-ticket item, consider whether you really need it. This is a good time to work out a sav-ings plan to get something you’d like in the long term. Life will get busier, including lots of running around & many distractions ‘til mid-Dec.
An increase in obligations can give you a lot more to think about this week. You can be under greater pressure on a daily basis that may stimulate a sense of rebellion. Be cautious about speaking your mind too swiftly or commenting in a brash manner. You may begin the see the benefi t of spending some money on a future holiday.
Venus, the planet of balance and harmony, moves into your sign this week where it will stay ‘til Dec. 11. The New Moon will oc-cur in your sign this week as well! All of this should certainly generate a positive attitude in any situation that involves you. It’s likely Venus will tempt you to spend some money on yourself.
A need to focus on matters that distract you from remaining committed to your main wishes will begin this week & last ‘til mid-Dec. The attitude you adopt now may infl uence what you’re capable of accomplishing over the next 2 years. Finding time to refl ect on this may prove extremely benefi cial long term.
Some welcome relief from serious matters or pressure can begin to take shape this week & continue to mid-Dec. Any involve-ment in a group situation may bring new people into your life. You may also begin to see some benefi t in focussing on your own needs more. This doesn’t necessarily mean spending.
You’re entering a stage this week where you need to balance the level of commitment required & how this’ll impact on daily routines to reach future goals. Support is available but with this comes expectations. Be sure you know clearly what’s involved so the eventual detail isn’t overwhelming to you.
