You daily Horoscopes for November 20th, 2014 Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19) In your current quest for independence you could inadvertently set yourself up for consequences that you don’t understand. Circumstances seem so surreal that it is possible to create goals based upon your fantasies now, rather than what is actually attainable. This confusion can catch you off guard and lead to disillusionment when you realize that you missed your chance because you misinterpreted the events. The more you stick to the facts, the less you’ll have to apologize for later. Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20) Your lack of attention to details may land you in trouble today, especially if you thought that you could somehow be in two places at once. But, of course, you can’t and you need to limit your options even if it’s difficult to make the choice. Don’t put too much energy into second guessing your decision once you’ve made up your mind; doubt will only send you into a tailspin. Rely on your natural pragmatism now rather than on your imagination. Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20) Coworkers might be the primary source of your current headache today if they present you with an idea that appears attractive at first glance. Unfortunately, you’re seeing things as you wish them to be now rather than how they truly are. It’s fine to give others the benefit of the doubt as long as you don’t assume everything will be perfect. Instead of pursuing someone else’s idealistic dreams, follow your own agenda. A solid foundation is your ticket to success. Cancer Horoscope (Jun 21 – Jul 22) Your current goals could be based on your fantasies, making them nearly impossible to reach in the real world. You might even convince yourself that it’s a straight shot to your destination without realizing how far you must actually travel. Thankfully, you don’t have to give up on your dreams if you put them in a healthy perspective. Pursue any opportunity that moves you closer to your heart’s desire, but don’t become too attached to the outcome. Find joy along the way instead of at the journey’s end. Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22) Although you’re quite confident about your ability to persuade others to join your cause, things may not turn out as planned today. There are emotional surprises lurking behind the most enticing situations, muddling your intentions and confusing your direction. This foggy cosmic landscape lingers for a couple of days, but you can find undiscovered treasures buried in your imagination if you’re open to exploring the unknown. Move cautiously and enjoy the magic of the mists while the uncertainty lasts. Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22) Your current inclination is to put a positive spin on everything. You could be wrapped up in daydreams of romantic love only to be confronted by mundane events that must be decisively handled today. Nevertheless, you don’t have to hide your flights of fancy from everyone. You can enjoy sharing your fantasies with your closest friends as long as you keep it separate from managing your responsibilities. Consciously placing one foot in each realm allows you to dance between the real world and your imagination. Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22) Expressing your feelings to a close friend is a good start, but it’s just not enough. You must sugar coat your words today for your message to have the impact you desire. However, it may be so easy to lay on the sweetness that you can irritate others if you overdo it. Relying on your charm makes sense as long as you don’t lose your original intention by completely sidestepping the issue. Treating others kindly also means telling the truth. Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21) Demonstrate your creativity today by seeking ways to manifest beauty in your interactions with others. It’s as if the Muse has come to visit and won’t leave until you recognize the magic that’s in your heart. But don’t waste this day drifting around aimlessly in your dreams. Bring the metaphysical treasures you discover back into the real world. Combine the ethereal with the mundane for maximum effect. Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21) Your romantic expectations may be so high today that your actual experience cannot be fully satisfying. Unfortunately, you could set a relationship up for failure as surreal Neptune squares sweetheart Venus in your visionary sign, prompting you to choose fantasy over reality. However, your fascination with a dream can also be quite inspiring as long as you understand the laws of the universe. Losing yourself in a poetic vision can be life-changing if you remember to return to earth when you’re done. Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19) A sudden vision of your future could be the source of personal inspiration now, but it’s also the origin of a problem. You can be so enamored with your plans that you take every chance you get to share them with whomever will listen. Your exuberance is endearing, but others might not understand your excitement. Talking a little less and smiling a little more gives you time to seamlessly integrate your dreams into your life. Maintaining an air of mystery today keeps everyone on their toes. Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18) Emotional detachment typically helps you decide your course of action, especially when it pertains to mundane matters like making money. But your goals are fuzzy now and it’s tricky to sort out your priorities. Intuitively, you know you are looking at your financial situation through rose-colored glasses, but you can’t seem to remove them today. Instead of struggling to uncover the facts, acknowledge the role your dreams can play in molding your future and save the hard choices until your clarity returns. Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20) It’s tough to know who your true friends are today because the incoming signals are complicated by your own illusions. You could become so confused that it’s hard to find your way back to the truth. However, once you accept the notion that your reality filter isn’t fully functioning now, it’s easier to navigate your way through the outer world. Steer clear of hypothetical meanderings unless you’re playing music or writing poetry. Otherwise, take everything at face value without adding your dreams to the mix. Todays Tarot~The Empress Traditionally entitled “Empress,” this major arcana or “trump” card portrays the energy of the Great Mother. She is Nature, around us but also within us, the ever-unfolding Source of life-giving power. She is often pictured as a pre-Christian Goddess, as the one whom the High Priestess is channeling down to earth for the rest of us. In medieval Europe, the Empress card was painted to represent whatever Queen currently ruled the land, probably to satisfy the Inquisitors. But the scholars of the Renaissance and beyond had no doubt of her true identity, although she could not be fully revealed on Tarot cards as the “woman clothed with the sun” until after the French Revolution. This supreme archetype of femininity also symbolizes fertility. It is She who provides us nourishment and security. She is also sometimes seen as delighting us with flowers and fruit. A potentially terrifying aspect of this archetype manifests itself whenever karmic mood swings wipe out our plans, like a storm that has come upon us. Whatever happens, the Empress is the Source of our Embodiment and of Natural Law. She might even be called “the Great Recycler.” Todays Witches Rune~The Ring The two interlocked rings depicts love; when ‘leading’ it also denotes an affirmation but not as straightforward as ‘YES’. It can denote engagement , marriage, an affair, a new relationship, or the rekindling of an old one. Also it can be a timely reminder to refresh a relationship, or find a new approach to an existing partnership. The circles are symbolic of ‘meaningful and lasting’ because a circle has no break, no join, no point of weakness, no beginning or ends. Todays Viking Rune~Fehu Fehu is the Rune of prosperity, good luck and unbridled creative energies. Being associated with Frey, this Rune is also a powerful omen of fertility. Fehu is one of the three Mother Stones and should never be taken lightly. fehu : cattle Phonetic equivalent: f DIVINATORY MEANINGS: prosperity, money, wealth, concern with physical and financial needs, goals, promotion, self-esteem, centredness, karma MAGICAL USES: for money, business, promotion, finding a job, achieving a goal, starting new enterprises ASSOCIATED MYTHS & DEITIES: Freyr, Brisingamen, Gullveig, Dwarfs, Sigurd & the Otter’s Gold ANALYSIS: Fehu is both the day-to-day reality of our lives and the catalyst that awakens us to what lies beyond. It is whatever we think we are seeking, which frequently bbears no resemblance to what we will eventually find. It is also our home, for after all our wanderings we will still need to attend to our physical needs and ground ourselves in the simple pleasures of home, family, and good work. Oz might be a fun place to visit, but after a while all you really want to do is go back to Kansas.Fehu reminds us that we must be secure in our physical situation before embarking upon any spiritual journey. We all must begin with the mundane reality of our lives, although many people never get beyond this. In many ways, we have become as domesticated as the cattle, living our day to day existence without wanting or even being aware of anything more being possible. The first step in breaking away from this situation is to catch a glimpse of what is possible, without dwelling on what security we may lose to attain it.
