PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY November 18 2024 to November 24 2024 Monday November 18 Listen and Learn Mercury (ideas) and lucky Jupiter are in mutual reception: each planet is in the other's sign. Today, as they move opposite one another, they encourage us to express opinions with confidence, whilst remaining open to hearing other people's views. No matter how big and bold our ideas, we can't expect to grow wiser if we don't learn from what others have to say. Which doesn't mean we have to agree with them of course! Strong debates ensure that the actions we take will lead to positive results. Tuesday November 19 International Men's Day It's International Men's Day. Often, with good reason, we focus on the trickier aspects of masculinity. But it's important to recognise the positive qualities too. As the Sun and sensitive Neptune harmonise, it's an opportunity to acknowledge the qualities everyone (no matter their gender) can offer. There's dignity in difference, and it deserves to be celebrated. It's by appreciating the best in people, even those who are unlike us, that we can make the world a more harmonious and peaceful place. Wednesday November 20 Joe Biden As Joe Biden turns 82 today, despite his disappointment at having had to step back from the presidency, maybe part of him is relieved that his long, illustrious political career is winding down. Personally, I find it exhausting trying to keep up with my own to-do list; and I'm 40+ years younger - and under considerably less pressure! As Venus (love) and sparky Uranus align, there's work to be done before we can put our feet up. But changes of circumstances can be surprisingly pleasing.
