Romantic planet Venus enters Sagittarius hours before the Last Quarter Moon in Leo occurs on November 16. Venus in Sagittarius is giving us an autonomous and adventurous approach to love, while the Last Quarter Moon is urging us to put ourselves first in relationships. Mercury in Scorpio and Jupiter retrograde in Pisces connects on November 16, allowing us to reach for the stars and attain success. The following day, Mercury enters Sagittarius, which means that we’ll have to think before we speak in an effort to avoid saying the wrong thing. Mercury in Sagittarius has a habit of talking out of line—so be careful with wording, to avoid offensive sentiments from accidentally slipping out. The Scorpio Sun links up with Pluto in Capricorn on the 18th and Jupiter retrograde in Pisces on the 20th, urging us to stand in our power and self-worth. Mars retrograde in Gemini squares Neptune retrograde in Pisces on November 19, heightening paranoia and emotional tensions. Luckily, it falls in between two positive days, so the energy won’t be super intense. Mercury and Venus align in Sagittarius on November 21, allowing us to speak from the heart. The Sun glides into Sagittarius on November 22, giving us the gusto, drive, and passion for embracing a new chapter in our lives and leaving the part behind as we start a transformative journey within ourselves. 

WITCH TIPS

The Last Quarter Moon is asking us to release and let go of the past. A good activity to take on this week is to start cleaning out the home and detoxing the stale energy. Also, cleansing will allow positivity to shine through and help us feel traction in our lives during these sluggish and repressive times brought on by Mars retrograde. 

Aries 

There is a strong sense of growth as mind-expanding experiences move you forward on an emotional journey. Your partnerships and friendships will go through the tests of time as well, but all the more for you to truly understand why you are brought to one another in the first place.

Taurus 

You are blossoming and expanding your horizons. You’re currently on a spiritual journey that grows over time and connects you to higher realms of vibrations—especially to yourself. Unfortunately, you may want to regress—but you’ll remind yourself to stay president and in flow with the universe in order to stay on the right path.

Gemini 

Connections from your past might pop up throughout the week, as your current entanglements begin to heat up. A relationship fatefully and dramatically ends the week, allowing you to release and sever karmic relationships that have been energetically holding you back from growing into the person you want to become.

Cancer 

At times you might be jumping into unknown territories, all of which are taking you through the realm of the subconscious and heightening your intuition. Think of this time as gathering all the more strength to put certain mental puzzle pieces together and to comprehend matters on an intricate level.

Leo 

A personal renaissance of sorts is allowing you to create perspective. This means that you’re thinking outside the box for ways to expand your horizons and elevate yourself to deeper levels of existence. The world is your oyster and you have much to unveil and conquer in the upcoming days ahead.

Virgo 

Relationships may require more work than you’re willing to put in at the moment. Instead of ignoring situations and partnerships that require care, it’s important to discuss existing issues in an effort to create a deeper bond and understanding between all parties. Cooperation and compassion will help in resolving matters.

Libra 

Finding balance isn’t usually hard for you, but with all of the outside world demanding more than usual from you this week, you may feel off-centered. Allow yourself to take a few moments a day to find an equilibrium to help in maintaining structure in the aspects of your life.

Scorpio 

This is going to be an extremely enlightening week for you, Scorpio. The challenge is to let go of your preconceived notions about what success is supposed to look like and relish in the abundance that’s coming your way—no matter how different it appears from your preconceived notions of prosperity.

Sagittarius 

Sometimes it’s very hard to center your energy and find a moment of calm. But, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to remain peaceful and relaxed when you can. Instead of tensing up when conflict arises, find a moment of silence to respond with ease and to remain stress-free.

Capricorn 

The truth will be hard to come by this week, which is why you’ll have to listen to your intuition in order to suss out the misinformation you are receiving. Use your astute mind to solve the gaps and half takes you’re being told in order to find some resolution. 

Aquarius 

Standing your ground with your peers can be very hard to do—especially when you aren’t feeling confident enough to assert your innermost sentiments. You should never hold back your emotions and always express them—no matter what—even if you’re doubting yourself at the moment it’s good to be clear and open.

Pisces 

The world may seem like it’s too much for your empathetic and sensitive nature, which is why it’s best to take a step back and relax until the collective energy is calmer. Focus on doing the things you love with yourself in order to create a safe space at home.
