Horoscopes for 11-3-2026

Scorpio
For more than a decade, I got used to a commute to Austin, for work. Over the years, I tried numerous ways to drink coffee en route. While I was working on this horoscope, just a few weeks back, it was still quite warm. From a tall Yeti-brand insulated cup to just Yeti-style of insulated cup to various forms of stopping along the way to get short, tall, medium, extra-large cups of coffee? I’ve tried them all. In the heat of the fall season, though, I rebounded to a classic — for me. Iced espresso. Four shots. It’s relatively less expensive than anything else, it’s durable, and I can, if I’m careful, stretch it out all day. The ice at the coffee shops is usually from filtered water, so that helps with flavor, and towards the end of an afternoon shift, the ice starts to melt so I’ve got weakly coffee-flavored water rather than super-strong espresso. Looking ahead, I was looking back and the idea of the simple, dual-purpose beverage, in my example, iced espresso, and it was still rather warm when I was ordering it, so there is that, but simple. Not complicated. Over an afternoon, the ice would melt and make a decent, cold, Americano-type of coffee. Scorpio, strong, cold, and able to last all day? Sounds like a plan to help navigate this uncertain time.
Sagittarius
Used it before. Will probably use it again. Fire (Sagittarius) tempered with Water (Scorpio) makes steam. Steam is a very potent version of the water element. Stream can perform many functions. In one day and era, steam was what drove the westward expansion, in the form of the engineering marvel, the steam engine. So, yes, the combination of Fire and Water and drive a powerful tool. Or? The problem, ever handle a saucepan of boiling water? The steam comes off the surface, but the water itself can scald, burn, or otherwise damage the frail Sagittarius extremities and skin. Goes either way, and this is the week when caution: extra Mercury-infused caution? That pays off. It’s a hint, a suggestion, an idea, just me noodling around the charts, but any driving force that seems to come out of this week’s misalignment of planets? Extra caution is required to properly handle it. Or, there’s always the typical bumbling Sagittarius enthusiasm, and we get burned. “Ouch. Ouch-ouch-ouch!”
Capricorn
Subtleties are lost. The art of implying, infusing, indicating using myth, metaphor, and muses? Yeah, that doesn’t work. Still, there’s a sotto voce element that only a good Capricorn can pull off, and now’s the time to do that. Blame Mercury. Blame Venus. Even throw some of that blame at me, if you need to, “My stupid astrology buddy suggested that…” The blame game works, and the quieter you are, the louder you seem to speak. Or not speaking speaks volumes in itself.
Aquarius
The first publishing contract I was offered, as a neophyte, as youngster who didn’t know much about anything? That first contract gave away all rights to my own material plus any other material, ancillary, derivative, or “other” produced under the terms and times of the contract. I think it would have included offspring, if I had any. I didn’t sign that contract, and negotiated down to fair price at some expense to myself. From a business perspective, though, that publisher was right to ask for everything, with a clause, “and your first born male child.” Sure, why not? Can’t be serious, right? Who knows. Asking for everything including the proverbial kitchen sink, though, it has room to give up aspects of that contract, and still appear more magnanimous rather than predatory. It was predatory, and I was being preyed upon. Instead of just signing that contract right now — Mercury is still retrograde — get someone else to look it over. “Let my legal team see this, first, and we’ll get back to you.”
Pisces
Thrown into a position where I was asked to speak extempore, I grabbed a copy of Marcus Aurelius that I carry with me. He has a passage about revenge that I rather favor, something about “The best revenge is to not be like that.” (Meditations Book 6, chapter vi). While I own, and use, several translations, the “New Age” one I like best. My physical copy is beaten up, from travels and two decades of notations. Poor book rode around in the bottom of a shoulder bag I carried. To an outsider, it looked like I just picked a random quote as a starting point. In fact, it’s a little self-serving, and the nature of “Kramer, care to share a few words with us about?” I like being prepared. I’m not always thusly ready, nor do I enjoy the impromptu speechifying. But the way I did it, it looked like I just thumbed a book open, read a passage, and started to expound. Not exactly rehearsed, but I was ready, chapter and verse. Are you ready, chapter and verse as needed be, gentle Pisces?
Aries
Be aware of signs. I was chatting with a nice young woman, and she had a detailed scorpion on her forearm, done in intricate ink. “So, you’re Scorpio?” “No, Gemini, why?” I nodded at the scorpion on her arm. “Oh. That? I just liked it, and I was dating a Scorpio. Almost got married. Dodged a bullet, there.” My mistake, I read the scorpion tattoo wrong. The sunny countenance, the cheery demeanor? I went a logical way, but not the most correct way to read the signs. For Aries, there are clear indicators, and the trick to being successful is to follow those clear indications. Like me, you might be wrong about what it means, but there’s a hint that it’s also right. Or a good direction, even if the sign itself is misinterpreted by your Aries self. Like me.
Taurus
Social media is a trap. It turns into a giant waste of time for me. I can go looking for a specific piece of information, and that opens up a rat’s nest of clicks, link-bait, side-quests, and other shenanigans, then, suddenly? I’ve lost an hour of what could’ve been productive, and even after that? I never found out what I was looking for, in the first place. For a while, the various outlets made it easy to for me to grab a quick birthday, just a singular point of data, but even then? Like, online, my birthday is reported in several different years, one that suggests I’m 107. Other sites obscure real birth data, and I would only use it for astrology. The trap, though, and what Taurus must guard against in the next few days? “I was only looking for one thing, one tiny piece of data, and suddenly, it’s two hours later. What happened?” To add to that? I still don’t know that person’s birthday.
Gemini
There’s a notion that hitting a random horoscope I’ve written works like an oracle. Besides, after a half-dozen years, according to some authorities, the horoscopes can just recycle. Personally, I find this abhorrent, as the moon and planets change, and then there’s the challenge of finding a new way to express similar, but not identical, energies. My personal goal is never to repeat the same metaphor, and that keeps my mind in an elastic state. As for actually achieving that? I think I’ve been less successful, but most of the material is presented in a different format. That helps. “No repeats,” is my old mantra. The idea of a random button, just a link to some random horoscope, though, that’s one that I play with from time to time. I was thinking about a random button, again, for this week’s Gemini, but then, another project caught my attention, and there will be no link. Didn’t finish it. Probably won’t. Great idea, though.
Cancer
Poetry, to me, in its original form, was a like a sonnet. On some days, a limerick, but both of those follow a structured format. Shakespeare’s sonnets followed that similar, stylized form, and due as much to the shortcomings of the English language, he invented a new form, as well. Variations on themes and in these examples, what I was looking at, adding some kind of structure to the poetical flights of fantasy that the gentle sign of the crab, the Moon Children, Cancer will have. Structure and order are part of the old-school poetry. While I doubt you’ll be crafting sonnets from ancient formats, there is an element of poetry in even the simplest of expressions, and that’s what we’re looking for. “It’s a business report yet it reads like a novel.”
The Leo
Strangest interaction, the other day? I got text from an elderly neighbor, wanting to borrow my wheelbarrow so he could move some bricks. I told him the gate combination and it was in the back, so he could get it, then I signed off with “Another brick in the wall” (Pink Floyd). He’s older than me, so I was sure he would think this is just another situation where Kramer is being silly, nonsensical. He responded with “Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone!” So either he’s culturally aware of the material, classical rock from a bygone era, or he looked it up, but the alacrity of the reply suggests he knew the passage. I always figured the guy was kind of strait-laced, buttoned-up, and squared-away. Surprised me. This week will hold similar surprises for The Leo, so don’t be shocked if you get the allusions and reply in kind.
Virgo
A plot point I picked up from an old thriller series? “No plan survives the first contact with the enemy.” Attributed, variously, to Roman military leaders, or some more modern masters, the idea hold up well for gentle Virgo, “No plan survives the first contact with the enemy.” See? This week is about plotting, planning, predicting outcomes. Then, making assumptions based upon predicted possibilities. The problem being? As iterated and reiterated, “No plan survives first contact with the enemy.” In typical Virgo fashion, though, remember that the future unfolds like tree limbs and we can follow any possibilities. No matter how hard you try to be prepared? “No plan survives first contact with the enemy.”
Libra
In one school of astrology, sexuality is implied in certain chart settings. “See, when (planet) lines up with (or against) a specific chart point, that means the person is gay.” I kind of abandoned that chart analysis because it never fit with my world view and personal experiences. I figure sexuality, sexual desires, and so forth, that sort of works along a spectrum, rather than a hard on/off position. So when the idea of pronouns came up, I was thinking of a couple of people I know both strongly adherents to the “they/them” setting when actions, desires, and even attire clearly put them in one camp. But the battle raged on, and what the fight was really about? Equality. The language itself is sexist, designed to empower one side while reducing the other side to a lesser status. I’m comfortable with my own way of seeing it, and it works — for me. So I tend to not read that in a chart. Inclinations, desires, and like me, a certain weakness for certain signs? Sure, there is that. But no hard and fast rules. Inclinations.
