Your daily horoscopes for Monday November 18, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday November 18
Brace yourself, Ram, because this is one of those days where real truth can be hard to come by. Today, as inquisitive Mercury faces off with candid Jupiter, you could find yourself scampering down a rabbit hole in pursuit of it. But beware from the get-go that this could be a frustrating mission—if not a downright impossible one. If you can, allow people’s claims to stand, knowing that it’s up to you to decide how many grains of salt to take ‘em with.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday November 18
Trust your gut—and the figures on those spreadsheets—when it comes to making a deal today, Taurus. You WANT to believe the other party’s promises, yet under a shady opposition of clever Mercury and optimistic Jupiter, that faith might be misbegotten. You know what they say about things that sound too good to be true. Keep your eyes—and feelers—attuned for potential red flags, like someone applying too much pressure or trying to rush things. If this IS a great opportunity, chances are it won’t evaporate overnight.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday November 18
Oversharer alert! Today, as your ruler, expressive Mercury, locks horns with outspoken Jupiter (in Gemini), you may be tempted to let it all hang out with someone you’re still getting to know. Unless you want to wake up tomorrow with a giant vulnerability hangover, don’t be such an open book. It’s okay to share a few pages from your personal history. But when you’re done with one story, wait and let the other person reciprocate. That way, you won’t flood them with TMI and your connection can stay on an even keel. Boundaries have a purpose, even in the most intimate relationships.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday November 18
Today’s PSA: “No.” is a complete sentence. You may feel a little helpless in the face of someone’s cogent persuasion, but it’s your sacred duty to resist. That might be a tad challenging with excitable Jupiter clashing with compelling Mercury. Ask yourself: Who stands to benefit if you go along—and what do YOU stand to lose? Ultimately you need to find the willpower to fight this person’s “emotional gravity” and walk away if necessary. In doing so, you’ll gain incalculable confidence.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday November 18
Today, as expressive Jupiter and Mercury oppose in your sectors of group activity, playfulness and theatrics, stack the deck with more grounded people than bad actors. You’re not obligated to invite someone to join your group or to go along with their crew. If you’re going to suffer silently as they dominate every conversation and pontificate, it’s better to leave them OFF the guest list. While you’re at it, check yourself to make sure you’re not the one hogging the mic. Flex your connectivity muscles instead of engaging in a battle of wits.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Monday November 18
You’ve been known to follow the rules just for the sake of protocol, but is there actually a method to the madness? For one thing, there could be factors that you’re not aware of, and towing the line could backfire. And today, with truth-seeking Jupiter in your public sector opposing your ruler, curious Mercury, a little bit of probing could turn up some information that gives you pause. That said, to protect your reputation and your colleagues, stay humble and get the facts before you fling any accusations or even spill the wrong pot of tea behind closed doors.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday November 18
You may feel untethered by a highly opinionated person today, Libra, but everyone’s entitled to their own point of view. And just like them, you’ve got a few staunch beliefs of your own! With Mercury and Jupiter clashing in your expressive and philosophical zones, there may be some lively debates. The more anchored you are in your own truth, the stronger and more grounded you’ll feel. Should a discussion turn harsh or mean-spirited, remember, you don’t have to stick around.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Monday November 18
Pump the brakes, Scorpio—if only to make sure they’re in proper working order. Today’s starmap may spur you to put the pedal to the metal and not ease up! With Mercury in your sensual second house, you’re a sucker for anything that feels romantic or luxurious. But the buzzy planet is locked in an opposition with spontaneous Jupiter in your intense eighth house, so you might not have the best self-control. (Limits? What are those?) In romance and business, take the long view. If a potential union has merit, trust that it will stand the test of time.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Monday November 18
Interpersonal dynamics might be a little dodgy today, thanks to an opposition of Mercury in your sign and your ruler, magnifier Jupiter, in your relationship zone. Some people may not know where to draw the line with demands and expectations, and the minute you give them an inch, they want 26.2 miles. Before you point the finger, check in with yourself and your willingness to go along. Dig deep to find some resilience (and even some of your famous argumentative resistance) and hold your ground. Ultimately we teach others how to treat us, and you don’t want anyone mistaking you for a pushover.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Monday November 18
Can you resist anything—but temptation? If you’re trying to break a bad habit or start a healthy new one, you need to be extra strict with yourself, especially in the beginning, before the positive-feedback loop kicks in. Today, an opposition between bottomless Jupiter and compulsive Mercury threatens to chip away at your willpower. The trick: Focus on the REASONS you want to make this change rather than the behavior itself. Then build in mini-milestone rewards.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Monday November 18
Don’t get sidetracked by other people’s antics today, fascinating as they may be. You’ve got work that requires your full attention, and tuning in to the diva channel will only be a time-sucking disruption. Avoiding drama might be easier said than not done, however, with socially engaged Mercury opposing overblown Jupiter in your theatrical fifth house. Your own romantic life could be a source of intensity. Separate genuine highlights from high drama, and stay on-guard for narcissistic types who could prey on you in a moment of vulnerability.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Monday November 18
You’re an open book today, Pisces, but perhaps you should dog-ear a page and close it? You might be dancing on the edge of oversharing today as mouthy Mercury in your public sector faces off with candid Jupiter. Some things are better kept to yourself—and certain topics are best reserved for only your most intimate circle. Before you show all your cards, consider the benefits of keeping them closer to your chest. If there’s something you NEED to vent about, call a friend or someone who can listen objectively.
