Today’s horoscope, Nov. 7, 2024: Keep trying, even when you’re afraid

It’s only natural to feel afraid to go for what you really want. The thought of putting yourself out there and then not getting it is off-putting to say the least. Does it help to know there are plenty of chances? The lunar action is steady and varied, portending a day of multiple opportunities. So lean into fear; it’s the signpost of an adventure worth having.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Ambition takes a back seat to something even sweeter: contentment. The big wins are the small wins. Check off tasks and savor the feeling of accomplishment, one tiny triumph at a time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Life is in a constant state of flux. Instead of clinging to an idea of permanence, you’ll see the scene for what it is — momentary, fluid and ripe with opportunity. With this mindset, you’ll be adaptable and powerful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A whimsical energy surrounds you now, encouraging you to enjoy the people around you without any agenda. The fun isn’t about what others can do for you; it’s about enjoying what you can get up to together in the playground of the world.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Luck is a fickle fairy who resists capture and hates to be chased. So as much as you’d like a little luck, you learned long ago that it’s better to do your work diligently and ignore her. She’ll come fluttering by when you least expect it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Isn’t it funny how the smarter someone is, the more fascinated they are by the so-called “mundane”? Today, it’s the simple things that will captivate you; this is your brilliance at play.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your surroundings reflect who you are, and who you are is shaped by your surroundings. Today, it seems like everyone around you is on your side, supporting your mission to make everything beautiful and functional.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Fun is in the air, and there’s more of it to go around than you had in years past. You’re like the poker pro who keeps playing your cards right and winning ever more pots.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your personal growth is a DIY project. You get inspiration from the world, but ultimately you act on your own accord, putting it all together in a way no one else would have thought to. The result will be tremendously satisfying.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The pond is murky, but stirring the water only makes it worse. Let it be. Clarity comes from stillness. When things settle, you’ll see what’s been there all along.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). After repeatedly losing and finding yourself, you’ll realize that neither state is inherently better than the other. “Lost” or “found” is just a fleeting opinion about your relationship to your surroundings.
