PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY November 11 2024 to November 17 2024 Monday November 11 Armistice Day Today, we remember those who gave their lives in service for their country. And the legacy of the Venus/Neptune link suggests feelings of loss will resonate more than ever. But Armistice Day is also a call to create more peace and understanding. As Venus enters earthy Capricorn, it's a chance to work on our relationships. Rather than wishfully thinking about how we'd like things to be, it's action time. Taking this opportunity to ring in change will benefit us as individuals. And that can change the world. Tuesday November 12 Hard Talk As Mercury (intellect), aligns with Saturn (the cosmic teacher), the sky focuses on negotiations. Facing up to reality involves honest conversations. And broaching important topics isn't easy. But with Venus (love) also linking with mighty Saturn, we can be creative in our approach. With kindness and clarity, if we find the courage to express heartfelt views, even if we don't get everything we want, our voices will be heard. And that paves the way for greater understanding, which is a good start. Wednesday November 13 The Cosmic Teacher As Saturn, the cosmic teacher, grinds to a halt, the approaching Full Moon prepares to converge with breakthrough Uranus. One set of cosmic forces urges us to renegotiate relationships, while another calls us to hold fast and protect what's important. It might sound like we're caught between opposing priorities. But these forces are working together. It's an opportunity to reassess where (and in whom) we're investing our resources. Compromise is key to improving relationships. Thursday November 14 King Charles Birthday As King Charles celebrates his birthday, the cosmos calls us to question our relationship with power. Ahead of the Full Moon, Mercury's link with transformative Pluto asks us to consider how much we can influence events in our lives. We only see one side of royal life; it's their attendance at big events that makes the news. Yet behind the scenes, they use their power to support all sorts of people and causes. If we wish to create changes in our world, subtlety (rather than glory) is key today. Friday November 15 Children in Need Tonight, in the UK, an annual TV event called 'Children in Need' takes place. Music and comedy sketches are punctuated by heart-wrenching stories of the challenges faced by disadvantaged children. But instead of thinking of this as a charity event, perhaps it should be reframed as an investment opportunity. The more security and opportunity we offer our young people, the more prosperous the future will be. Tonight's Full Moon helps us redeploy our resources and make progress. Saturday November 16 Your Weekly Horoscope As Pluto leaves Capricorn for good (none of us will be around to witness its return!) it's time to reflect on one of the consequences of its 2008 arrival in the earth sign. Power and wealth have become concentrated in small pockets of society. Its move into rebellious Aquarius calls us to challenge unfair power systems and strive for greater equality. This week, the Mercury/Jupiter link will make it easy to talk about principles. And with the Sun in Sagittarius, we can start embodying them.
