Horoscope: Thursday, Nov 7

Good fortune will come your way if you go out of your way to bring good things to other people. You may be highly individualistic by nature but you don’t live in a vacuum. The cosmic rule is: what you give you get back in return.

A fear or phobia you thought you had got over will creep back into your life over the next 48 hours. The good news is if you face up to it now you will finally move past it. It’s there to test you but it won’t destroy you.

You seem to be Mr or Ms Popular at the moment and that’s very nice, but don’t get carried away and start thinking you can do as you please. You still have responsibilities to take care of, and you won’t be popular for long if you neglect them.

No matter how many upheavals there have been on the home front of late you can put it all right again today. With Venus moving through the domestic area of your chart you will find it easy enough to build bridges. Try not to burn them again.

You may be annoyed that a rival is taking credit for something that you were responsible for but don’t work yourself into a fervour about it. You will get the recognition you deserve, if not immediately then certainly in the very near future.

A little cooperation will go a long way over the next few days, and today it may take you all the way to an objective that has been annoyingly elusive. Team up with like-minded people and create something together you would not be able to create on your own.

It may seem as if someone is keeping something from you, and maybe they are, but it is unlikely to be anything of great importance, so don’t make a fuss about it. Whatever is going on behind the scenes won’t affect you in a negative way.

If you want to be productive and show how capable a Cancer you can be then try doing something a little bit different. If you go over the same old ground in the same old way you will simply get the same old results and that won’t impress anyone.

Today would be best spent alone behind closed doors, if possible. There's a lot of tension in your household for some reason, Leo. Since there isn't much you can do about it, try to avoid it altogether. Let your family members fight it out among themselves. You have better ways to spend your time. Why not take in a movie? When you go by yourself, you don't have to share the popcorn!

There are so many distractions in your life and so many trivial things going on in the world. Your task today is to block it all out of your conscious mind and focus on your number one aim. What matters to you is the only thing that matters.

Make sure you can back up your claims with facts today. Those who view you as a rival, or even an enemy, will be looking for ways to make you look bad, and if you are reckless with the truth you could make it easy for them.

Someone in a position of power is more impressed with you than you seem to realize and over the next few days will drop hints that you really should be looking to move up in the world. The big question though is: can you be bothered?

A new moon in your opposite sign of Aries means you won’t lose anything by following other people’s lead. You may in fact gain a lot, especially if the people you are following are as ambitious as you are. Together you’ll conquer the world.

You seem to believe that you have got too much of one thing in your life and not enough of another, but it’s not true. The universe has given you exactly what you need to fulfil your destiny, so stop complaining and start making things happen.

Meticulous and sincere effort on your part may have led to a recent increase in income. Today you might be thinking of reworking your budget. While others might throw caution to the wind at a time like this, today you might go too far in the opposite direction. Be careful and realistic, Sagittarius, but don't be overly frugal. You've worked hard to get where you are and you deserve a reward.

Overwork and the resulting stress and nerve strain could result in tension headaches today, Capricorn. It might be a good idea to start the day pacing yourself and concentrating on the most pressing tasks. Don't worry if you have to leave some for later. There's a chance that others around you might get into some rather heated arguments. Stay out of it. This would only make you feel worse.

Keep your eyes and ears open today because cosmic activity in the area of your chart that governs your standing in the world will bring the kind of opportunities you have been dreaming of. If you take advantage of them your reputation will soar.

There are things going on behind the scenes that will change your circumstances dramatically over the next few weeks, so don’t take anything too seriously and don’t make changes when you don’t have to. Everything will make sense in the fullness of time.

Honesty is essential in all your activities now but especially when making deals that could cost you a lot of money if they go wrong. Remember that it is not just your investment that is at stake but other people’s too – so err on the side of caution.
