Horoscope for the week beginning Nov. 17
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
2017 – year one of a new round has proven transformational for pretty much everyone. The number 1-Year, which is based on the addition of the numbers in the year (2 + 0 + 1 +7 = 1), tends to be like this, raw, assertive, aggressive even, boldly pushing us to go where we have not been before. Thus, one is the number of new beginnings fresh starts and pioneering initiatives. Of course, these invariably entail endings. Both ends of the deal can be difficult, transformational and life-altering. As well, as is true of new beginnings, they set the tone, themes for the eight years to follow.
Pushed out of the familiar, secure comfort zone, people commonly react and resist, or are challenged to rise to the occasion and participate cooperatively. This is how our ego is – security oriented – and that is valid. But, the river of life has a strong current and some of its twists and turns quickly become rapids. But, there are and will invariably be calmer stretches in between. Altogether, these are a reminder to be grateful for the joyful windows and humble and compassionate and supportive with the experiences of others because some have much harder lessons and destinies than others and the tables can and do turn quickly.
This general indication of larger themes affecting us all may seem simplistic, but it works quite well indeed. It actually represents the fact that we are all engaged in a co-creative process, whether we know it, like it, believe it, or not. Yet, skepticism falls hard when evidence piles up into heaps, like now. The measuring abilities of Numerology and Astrology work very well and can help you in your personal life too. These are just samples addressing collective themes and trends, but upon reflection, you may recognize that they work well indeed.

You are probably wise to take an experimental approach for now and avoid final decisions until you are more confident in your approach.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
There is something very big brewing in the back of your mind. But, because it is back there, you may not be as fully aware or conscious of it as you might like. However, you probably do feel punchy and rebellious. Certain situations need to change, perhaps especially close to home. It might prove worthwhile to check in with yourself to sound your depths.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a powerful time for pretty much everyone and not least of all you. Changes that have been brewing for many months are entering their final stages before the bigger shift occurs.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Something big is brewing in your public and professional life. This may be the foundational stage so the returns may not yet be evident. Gathering tools and learning new skills implies efforts and requires a good attitude. Acknowledge that everything is happening ‘for’ you, even it does not always seem that way. Whistle while you work.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
This is a busy time but also a creative one. A vision for the future is steadily unfolding. So, a part of your busyness is to forge a realistic vision for the future. It is ever important to cultivate a sense of purpose. This seldom amounts to merely making money as it is more a means than an end. Ask yourself how you would like to make meaningful contributions and to perhaps get paid for them as well.
