Weekly Stars November 17th 2013

Sunday's Full Moon is close to its sidereal exaltation degree in Taurus. This auspicious day is Kartik Purnima in the Vedic calendar - the festival of lights of the Gods. 

 

Scorpio

Your ideas pick up pace as you warm to your new direction. Soon you revised an agreement on a pet project and this time you can take it to the bank. Sunday’s Full Moon in your opposite sign gives you insight and you learn a lot by letting somebody talk. Make your peace after the recent eclipse season and the landscape in your close affairs has shifted. Front up business you haven’t had the stomach for until now, but realize you won’t always be under the same pressure. Sweet are the uses of adversity! Friday focuses on finance and your generous gesture is a hit.

Sagittarius

You are a mixture of retiring sage and business mogul, and you aim big on all fronts. Venture into emotions that seemed scary before and an injection of finance empowers your cause. You aim to impress a Big Cheese and the Sun hitting your sign on Friday is your moment to shine. Showcase your skills.

Capricorn

Negotiations go slowly but it’s worth nailing the details. Prepare the ground with a Capricorn quid pro quo and get more for your money. You combine brains, brawn and blarney, and finally get value for a long-running career obsession. Thursday lightens the load and a date goes well when someone else leads.

Aquarius

Competition hots up at work and people at work stoop to any means. Saturn, your ruler, rides high and a life lesson lies in taking your time and facing your fears. Communication issues slow you down and it's smart to compromise on your message. Sunday’s Full Moon favours a family summit meeting.

Pisces

A partner lights a fire underneath you as your liaison steps up a level. You resist the advance at first, but provocation brings you closer. Think big. A mix of inspired creativity and real-world savvy sets you apart and soon you are living the dream. Friday gives you star status at work, with an exotic teaching flavour.

Aries

You move into contention at the office and this weekend sees a smart business call. Steer a course between standing out on your own versus bowing to officialdom. Mars, your ruler, favours nitty-gritty details and a new diet has wide-reaching repercussions. Saturday finds you on familiar turf and in the mood to party.

Taurus

Sunday’s Full Moon is your unofficial birthday, calling for champagne and ice cream. You have hurdles to cross in love, yet a platonic affair warms up slowly. A passing remark carries bigger implications and you move towards a new commitment. Take the initiative and the other side caves in without a fight.

Gemini

Your financial plan takes a step back to take two forwards. An international flavour adds scope and you profit from a cause you believe in. Tuesday’s Gemini Moon gives you the benefit of the doubt and you smooth things over when competition gets fierce. Light shines on a love affair and you're open to good advice.

Cancer

A good offer comes again, in case you didn't catch on the first time. Your generous outlook gives you protection and an interested party sees you as a contender. Get real with your artistic work and a smart idea saves time. Thursday’s Cancer Moon lifts your mood and sympathetic words at the right moment open a door.

Leo

Business plans proceed apace and you mix dynamism with smart moves. Cutting costs isn’t your style but there is satisfaction in breathing life into an old item. Crossed signals at home find you examining your priorities, but you plough on despite dissenting voices. Saturday’s Leo Moon sees you stepping out of the shadows.

Virgo

Use tact when pointing out a project's Achilles heel, even when your appraisal is based on truth. Restless Mars gives you oomph and you plough into a project that stalled for lack of direction. On-the-job advice is available and Tuesday's deadline seals the deal. A romantic partner needs saving and you step up to the mark.

Libra

Balancing wild romance with family duties keeps you occupied. You re-imagine your home and a radical design succeeds when you back it up with action. Get the patent on a great idea and a financial plan is more about tomorrow than today. You have guru status and a trip away blends business and fun.
