Horoscope for Monday, November 25, 2024

Moon Alert

After 5:30 a.m. Chicago time, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Mercury officially goes retrograde until Dec. 15. This will actually help you to finish school projects, manuscripts or important papers because it will be much easier to wrap up old business in these areas. Cooperate with others today. Be accommodating.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

In the next two weeks, you can expect delays with loans, mortgages and issues related to shared property, inheritances and insurance matters due to Mercury retrograde. (Ouch.) However, this same influence will actually help you to wrap up issues in these areas that are already begun.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today your ruler Mercury goes retrograde until Dec.15. This is bound to attract ex-partners and ex-spouses back into your world. (This could be good news — or not.) This might give you an opportunity for closure. Try to use this for your benefit.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Mercury goes retrograde today, which is why you'll be frustrated at work with delays, goofy mistakes, late deliveries and mixed-up communications in the next two weeks. Likewise, equipment can fail. The upside is you will more easily finish old business. (There's always an upside.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Old flames are back in your life. And if you don't hear from them in a literal sense either in person or on social media, you might find yourself dreaming about them. Either way, they have crept back into your world. Meanwhile, this is a fun-loving social day. Enjoy yourself!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Mercury is your ruler and today it goes retrograde until Dec.15. In particular, you will notice this because it will attract relatives and family back to your world. Stock the fridge. They might be camped out on your doorstep. However, this is an excellent time for home repairs.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Each Mercury retrograde is different because it takes place in a different part of your chart. Today Mercury goes retrograde until Dec. 15. You will feel this retrograde because it will almost certainly create transportation delays, car problems, missed buses as well as confused communications. Did I mention errors? Courage!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Starting today, Mercury will be retrograde for the next two weeks and this could affect your financial picture. Checks in the mail will be late. Financial matters might be delayed. This could be frustrating. However, on the upside, you might wrap up financial matters quickly. Bonus!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Mercury retrograde starts in your sign today and will last until Dec. 15. Don't worry; you're not losing it. But you will notice silly goof-ups, forgotten paperwork, misplaced items, confused communications and delays, especially with respect to transportation. Hang in there.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It so happens that Mercury goes retrograde today for the next two weeks, and this will help you to do research of any kind. If you're looking for solutions to problems or answers to questions, you might find them. It's as if past issues open up to reveal secrets!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Friends are important to you, and you'll find it fascinating that today Mercury goes retrograde in your House of Friendships, which means you'll be hearing from friends from your past, including colleagues and people in clubs and organizations. It's great to have history with others.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today Mercury goes retrograde at the top of your chart, which means many of you will renew relationships with parents you might not have seen for a while, certainly bosses and authority figures. This could be good news — or not. In all likelihood, some benefit will come from this. Stay tuned.
