PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY November 4 2024 to November 10 2024 Monday November 4 A Vote too Far Following the weekend's power-hungry Mars-Pluto opposition, the US is preparing to vote. As fiery Mars forms a new Celestial Archer with Mercury (ideas), and Neptune (ideals), we could all do with remembering that fighting fire with fire won't heal divisions. Today, as the red planet enters Leo, by demonstrating compassion, we can bring calm to troubled waters. If we want other people to follow suit, it's by setting good examples in our own lives that we can spread messages of hope. Tuesday November 5 Dangerous Remedy As the US votes, in the UK we're celebrating Guy Fawkes night. In back gardens and public parks, fireworks are set off to commemorate how plans to blow up parliament were thwarted back in 1605. With the red planet, Mars, settling into passionate Leo, the cosmic energy is fiery (but not explosive). The Sun's links with dreamy Neptune and sensible Saturn encourage us to temper our passion with restraint. With a measured approach, ideas can sparkle into real signs of hope. Wednesday November 6 Infectious! They say that 'when the US catches a cold, the rest of the world sneezes.' So, as we digest the election results, we're all hoping for a healthy political situation. Whatever our personal views might be, we know that others will either be happy or disappointed. But with Mercury (ideas) in mutual reception with Jupiter, there's reason to be philosophical, even optimistic. The cosmic message is encouraging. If we prioritise kindness and respect, the future will be brighter than we think. Thursday November 7 Dreams of Love As Venus (love and abundance) heads towards a dynamic alignment with dreamy Neptune, it links first, uncomfortably, with sparky Uranus. It's a reminder that even with a positive attitude, when progress isn't easy, we can feel disenchanted. Yet there's value in struggle; when the going gets tough, we have to prioritise what we care about. And get creative about how we approach goals. If today brings challenges, it's not about giving up. It's about digging deep and finding new resources. Friday November 8 Imagination This weekend, as Venus (love) aligns with dreamy Neptune, even cynically-minded people will dare to dream. Yet, there can be problems with notions that are imagination based; they don't always take reality into account. So, the Sun's creative (yet practical) link to transformative Pluto comes in handy. It makes us more prepared to get real, and seek doable solutions. Compromise might be required. But dreams can start coming true. Saturday November 9 Your Weekly Horoscope My niece rolled her eyes when I told her to "girlboss' it" as she went on work experience. To be fair, I'm not sure any teenage TikToker wants to hear that from their uncool uncle! But as Venus (love) links to dreamy Neptune before entering Capricorn this week, we can all strap on shoulder pads and access empowering energy. And with Saturn (the cosmic teacher) turning direct, and a Full Moon, we might need it! It's time to stare situations in the face, salvage what's good, and rebuild better.
