Your weekly horoscope: November 4 - 10 2018

SCORPIO

October 23 - November 21

Are they giving you a hard time? They're just jealous. As everyone knows, once a Scorp has ambled past, nothing is ever the same again. And that's without even trying. Right now, of course, with the planets as crazy as they are, you're even more powerful - and driving everyone even more crazy. Don't even try to deny it. By Wednesday, thankfully, you'll have lightened up somewhat.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22 - December 21

Something really important is happening. Or about to happen. You just can't quite get to grips with the details - and that's not because you're unable. It's just that you need someone sane to bring you back to the real world - not your favourite place - so you can figure out how to get things moving. There's no understanding why you do what you do.

CAPRICORN

December 22 - January 19

Marvellous. For once, there is absolutely nothing standing in your way. And even though you're usually so conservative in your plans, you're having a particularly courageous week. You're taking the kinds of risks that would normally terrify you - and it's working! Doors are opening. Bosses are impressed. If you are the boss, you're impressing them. Good for you. There's no better time to clean up your life.

AQUARIUS

January 20 - February 18

You're at your brilliant best, changing the world and making good things happen. As everyone knows, your major concern has always been about fixing the planet. And this week, some really important people are impressed with your efforts. You might even get a reward. More importantly though, you've neglected your own needs - and your personal life is falling apart.

PISCES

February 19 - March 20

Yay. It's time to get practical. And yes, the very word makes your skin crawl. But that's just tough - unless you're wealthy enough to get someone to do it for you. Most of you, though, are so busy giving away the shirts off your back, you've forgotten to count how many are left. As such, this is a boring week. Someone is trying to manipulate you into parting with even more stuff.

ARIES

March 21 - April 19

Just because the entire universe is in flames, doesn't mean you should add fuel. No need. Fire means potential and with so many passionate planets breathing down your neck, you've already visualised, created and jumped in with both feet. Calm yourself. Let's backtrack a little. The love planet is still tottering about without a clue where she's going. Wednesday's New Moon is shoving you into a different cycle.

TAURUS

April 20 - May 20

By the end of next week, you'll be feeling a lot more secure about your life. But for now the drama continues. And there's plenty of that. Ignore it all. Use these fabulously inventive energies to learn something new - get new skills. By Wednesday, there'll be a different plan - especially in the love department. If your heart is changing direction, give it a few days to make up its mind.

GEMINI

May 21 - June 20

The planets are still in a very peculiar mood - and your life is all over the place as a result. Not that you mind that much. Excitement and adventure are your life's blood. But how about using the madness to create a bucket list - a complete list of everything you want to do before you die. You can change your mind as you go along - but it's nice to have somewhere to start.

CANCER

June 21 - July 22

Just because everyone wants a piece of you, doesn't mean they get to take their pick. Best plan, of course, would be to pack a little bag and sneak off into the night. But since that's not happening just yet, you'll have to find a way to beat off the invaders with a stick. Better still, learn to say NO. It is not your duty to rescue the entire universe - even if that were possible. It is, however, your right to rescue yourself.

LEO

July 23 - August 22

It's going to take all your wonderful imagination to get the initiative pumping. Of course, you could always stare at the television, fantasising about what will definitely happen as soon as you get your act together. But if you start with that garbage, you'll still be there at New Year. Sometimes we have to force ourselves to overcome our natural impulses.

VIRGO

August 23 - September 22

You're on a roll. And just because your life doesn't seem perfect quite yet doesn't mean it's not. As you know, your standards are always way over the top. So if you lower your sights a smidge, you'll see that everything's going according to plan. It's true that the planets are currently occupied elsewhere - and those in your space are giving you a mildly hard time.

LIBRA

September 23 - October 22

And the battle continues - with love, glamour, romance, value systems - anything that takes a real appreciation of life's goodies in the firing line. The world's moral compass has gone missing - only to return (in somewhat diluted form) on the 15th. Meanwhile, you'll have to make it all up as you go along. Don't even think about making any real commitments until you're feeling much better.
