Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday November 18
Trying to get an honest answer out of people has been a fool’s errand since communicative Mercury turned retrograde in your ninth house of truth on November 9. Thankfully, this signal-jamming cycle will be ending on November 29. But today, as the messenger planet slips back into Scorpio and your esoteric eighth house, YOU should be the one to keep your cards close to the vest. Quiet observation will speak volumes during the remainder cycle, and actions reveal much more than words.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday November 18
Good news, Taurus, Mercury’s retrograde is halfway over‚
the 29th will be here before you know it. But today, the back-spinning
planet slips back from Sagittarius into Scorpio, which could add some
heat and intensity to relationships. For the next eleven days, be
careful you don’t start arguments just to keep things “interesting.” And

might be best to NOT partner up on a specific mission.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday November 18

partnership zone since November 9, messenger Mercury retrogrades back
into Scorpio and your sixth house of work and wellness for the final
eleven days of its backspin. You’re easily distracted by shiny objects,
but have you let important aspects of your life get tarnished in the
process? Reverse that trend and give yourself whatever you need, whether
that’s a few nights at home, a schvitz in a dry sauna or ginger lemon
tea all day. You deserve this!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday November 18

With “act first, think later” Mercury spinning backward since November
9, you may be tempted to act rashly or do things you’ll live to regret.
And today, the communication planet backpedals from Sagittarius into

now and November 29. Be extra-cautious about what you post and how you
represent yourself to the outside world.

victim mindset. You’ll be able to sort this out next month, especially
if you own up to your part in the breakdowns.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday November 18
Words,
once uttered, can never be fully retracted. Keep that fact at the
forefront of your mind between today and November 29. As Mercury slips
back into Scorpio and your communication house for the final eleven days
of its retrograde, even an innocent comment can feel like a clapback.
Hold off on “helpful feedback” unless it’s requested—and even then, add a
hero’s dose of tact!
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday November 18
The choice is yours, Libra: You
can stress out over money and make yourself nuts, or you can sit down
and sketch out a sensible budget. Messenger Mercury has been retrograde
since November 9, and today, it backflips into Scorpio and your
financial zone before turning direct on November 29. Accept the fact
that temporary belt-tightening may be in order, but remember, this is
for YOUR benefit. Rather than, say, Scrooge-out on holiday spending, see
if relatives want to pool funds for gifts or even set a budgetary cap
so that no one goes broke playing Santa.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday November 18
As a
sensitive Scorpio, you’ve been known to sting first and ask questions
(or apologize) later. But today, expressive Mercury—which has been
retrograde since November 9—backspins into your sign for the last eleven
days of its reversal, your words will carry extra weight. This is why
you REALLY need to stop and think before you clap back. Better to stay
silent than risk blowing a deal or offending an important contact.
Debates could heat up to scorching levels until this cycle ends on
November 29, so for everyone’s sake, keep a safe distance from those
frenemies and rivals!
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday November 18
Have you felt like you’ve
needed your own private translator lately, Sagittarius? With
communication planet Mercury retrograde in your sign since November 9,
even the most basic exchange may have been rife with confusion. Today,
the messenger planet backpedals into Scorpio and your befuddled twelfth
house until November 29. Recognize this as a perfect cosmic opportunity
to a break from pitching, presenting or talking to people who fray your
nerves. If you can’t go radio-silent for the eleven five days of the
retrograde, be selective about who you let in.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday November 18
After
ten frustrating days of expressive Mercury being retrograde in your
foggy twelfth house, the communication planet backspins into Scorpio and
your eleventh house of technology and teamwork until November 29. For
the second half of the retrograde, be prepared for PMs to get lost in
spam folders, posts to get shadowbanned and messages to get
misconstrued. Follow up on all important communications and confirm
appointments. But you can also use this “retro” time to back up your
systems, upgrade your cloud storage and, if you haven’t changed your
passwords in a while, create super-strong new ones.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Tuesday November 18
Some rules are made to be broken, Aquarius, but the trick is knowing
which ones—and when it’s okay to do so. Messenger Mercury has been
retrograde for ten days in your collaborative zone, mucking up team
dynamics. Today, it slips back into Scorpio, bringing friction to your
leadership sector until November 29. This is NOT the time to start
barking orders like a petulant monarch or start reading everyone like a
library book. When things straighten out, you’re going to have to work
with these same people, so don’t abandon your chill nature now, when you
need it most.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday November 18

outspoken ninth house before correcting course on November 29. For the
second half of the retrograde, you won’t be able to suppress your truth.

be strategic about what you reveal around people whose trustworthiness
cannot be fully verified.
