Horoscope: Thursday, Nov 21

Stop worrying about your wealth (or your lack of it) and start thinking about all the fun things you are going to be doing over the next few weeks. Most of those things won’t cost you any cash at all. Yes, the best things in life are free.

Why are you taking life so seriously? You need to lighten up a bit and embrace the fact that most of the things which occur in your life are of no real importance. That does not mean, however, that you are of no importance – far from it in fact.

You won’t be able to impose your beliefs on other people over the next few days, so don’t waste time trying. It’s okay to have strong convictions but share them only with like-minded people – that way you won’t get into so many fights!

You could attend a social event today, Taurus, but you won't feel like talking. You could be content just to listen to what everyone else says, feel at peace, and enjoy the warmth, music, and company. You may have been spending too much time at home and could well need to get out for a while. Relax, sit back in your chair, and enjoy yourself!

Life may be fun and fancy-free at the moment, and long may it continue, but don’t forget you do still have some responsibilities. Most of all you have a responsibility to take care of your health. Burning the candle at both ends will inevitably take a toll.

This is potentially one of the best times of the year for you and if you are bold it could be one of the best times of your life. Don’t worry about what others might think of your actions – the consequences will be wonderful, not woeful.

Not everyone can be as assertive or ambitious as you, so make allowances and don’t get angry with people who can’t keep up with you. In fact, as your mind tends to move faster than your body you may have trouble keeping up with yourself.

It may not be in your nature to be cautious but the planets warn you must take care with your money over the next few days. It may be tempting to go on a spree but if you do you could be paying off debts for months to come.

You will go out of your way over the next 48 hours to do something that shocks those who prefer to play by the rules. Don’t do anything illegal or unethical though – cosmic law will catch and punish you even if human law does not.

It could be hard to find your footing early in the day, Virgo. You may be better off sleeping in. Have a good breakfast and relax in the morning. By evening, you'll be refreshed, recharged, and ready to take on the town. Your emotions may feel restricted, which could make it difficult to fully express yourself. You'd be better off turning this energy inward now.

Don’t give in to the urge to interfere in other people’s private affairs, not even if they ask you to. The planets insist they must work out their difficulties on their own now or face even greater difficulties later on. Words of encouragement are okay though.

Your confidence is sky-high at the moment but don’t fall into the trap of thinking that because you feel great the rest of the world feels great as well. No Scorpio, when you close your eyes it does not mean it’s night – it means you cannot see.

Something unexpected will happen over the next 24 hours and the indications are it will be something marvelous. The Sun’s link to Jupiter in your sign promises great things for those Scorpios who are not afraid to follow their dream.

Your thinking is steady and reserved today, Sagittarius. You'll find that your mind is right in line with your ego, and you'll be able to accurately verbalize what's going on inside. You might be guarded about how much you tell people. It could be that others are holding back information from you. Proceed with caution and be honest in all your dealings.

You could find it harder than usual to wake up this morning, Capricorn, as your energy may be flagging. Personal or professional pressures might stir feelings of futility, but don't fall into this trap. In spite of your momentary lethargy, everything on the horizon looks far better than it seems - primarily because of your own hard work. Retire early tonight and tomorrow you'll feel more energetic.

People you live and work with will become more demanding over the next few days and there is sure to be friction. Do what you can to accommodate their desires because chances are you will need their assistance in the days and weeks to come.

No matter what happens today, and no matter how unsettling it may be, you must not take it too seriously. Not everything that occurs in your life is designed to challenge you personally, so lighten up and try smiling instead of frowning.

With the Sun moving through the career area of your chart you must be careful who you choose to rely on. Just because someone says they are your friend does not make it a fact. A little bit of suspicion is no bad thing at the moment.
