Rather than ruminating and overloading matters in your head, rely on your gut to help problem solve. Place an amethyst crystal on your crown chakra and meditate. Your intuition will guide you to resolve these inner conflicts.
Mars in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus on November 17, making our emotions explosive and declarative. The lunar eclipse in Taurus occurs on November 19, heightening our emotions and intuition. Venus in Capricorn connects with Uranus retrograde in Taurus on November 19, making romantic and financial matters unpredictable. The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21 adding adventure to our lives and aligns with the South Node of Destiny on November 23 which will make us unsure of how to move towards freedom. Mercury in Scorpio aspects Neptune retrograde in Pisces on November 18, Jupiter in Aquarius on November 20, and Pluto in Capricorn on November 21. All the Mercurial action will create anxiety, until the 21st when we get to the core of our stresses and gain clarity.
You can go along the path of your independent nature or you can embrace a collaboration to this week. This can be a difficult position to be in, so take your time before making any decisions. If you choose to work with others, you can reach great heights beyond your dreams.
You may feel like you’re being challenged while your life being critiqued by others this week. Take some time to go within. When you’re in a centered and calm state you’ll be able to come up with the best solutions for your life — regardless of what everyone has to say.
You are great at talking out matters, but not at following through with implementing the change into reality. Instead of resolving situations then moving away from them, put the effort into making sure that they don’t happen again. Roll up your sleeves and do the hard work. No excuses, Gemini.
Life isn’t about winning or losing. The moments when you shine are wonderful, but the times when you are strengthening and empowering yourself from setbacks are golden. Striving to achieve a goal builds character and reminds you to always look onwards to attain personal greatness. Then, you can prevail.
The professional realm of your life is currently in flux, which is making you feel off kilter. Try to transform the work that you do and make sure it aligns with the times. Everything is shifting, but so can you. Don’t go against the energy, use it to your advantage.
In order to heal, you have to not be afraid to dive into your emotions. This will get messy, which may add stress to your life. However, the end result will bring you clarity and peace of mind. Therefore, it is an even trade off for you to work towards.
The way you conceptualize your emotions is shifting, allowing you to think and feel outside-the-box. It’ll help to entice and induce your creativity, as you are giving yourself the chance to blend your conscious and subconscious temperaments together to bring your visions to light. The result will be extremely gratifying.
Relationships don’t come easy. They require flats of care, which means that you constantly have to tend to them. Even though the road to happiness may take time, it doesn’t mean that you should give up on these partnerships. Give them more energy to grow and be what you want.
Stop blaming others for your issues and take accountability. The moment you accept the fact that you’re the reason for the erraticness in your life, is the moment you can start controlling the outcome. You can create the world you want if you truly desire it and work towards it.
Although you’ll want to get lost in fantasies and daydreams this week, it’s important to bring yourself back down to reality. Focus on the here and now to ensure that you get things done. If you have time to get lost in thoughts at the week’s end, then do it.
You have nothing to prove to anyone other than yourself. Rather than focusing on what others are doing and the feedback they give, work hard to achieve the goals and public stature that you want. You know you are a beacon of love and those you work with appreciate you.
You may feel pleasant, yet intense feelings while interacting with others. Stay level-headed and focus on what you can do to improve your relationships. Be sure to listen to what people are saying with open ears. Then, take time to react to ensure that you are hearing them out fully.

Happy Samhain, Halloween, and Dia de los Muertos!
Venus, who’s in Sagittarius, harmonizes with Jupiter, who’s in Aquarius, on October 28 and brings our tender sentiments to the surface of our consciousness. Mars enters Scorpio on October 30, allowing us to take action and make decisions on an intuitive level. The Scorpio Sun and Saturn, who’s in Aquarius, square off on October 30. This will have an intense effect on our confidence. Be gentle with yourselves and others on the 30th! Mercury connects with Jupiter on November 1, then shares a fraught aspect with Pluto, who’s in Capricorn (the third time these planets squared off this season, the other occurrences were September 22 and October 1). This will make communication tense and frustrating. Use your words wisely and with compassion.
Embrace your inner strength and stand up against those who aim to bring you down. Your bravery, humility, and kindness will help you to channel the energy of the collective and of yourself. Before you know it, you’ll be able to assert your will and sentiments unapologetically while honoring yourself.
Let your intuition guide you in making the best career decisions that will help to elevate your status. As long as you stay true to the vision that you want to put out there, you’ll be able to attain all the goals, dreams, and aspirations that you have always wanted.
Never one to hold onto the boundaries that are set in place, you’re learning to respect the limits set upon you in relationships and uphold the boundaries that you set forth for others. Remember, it takes two to tango. You have to respect and play by the rules as well.
Power struggles with others may bring you down this week. All you can do is learn how to handle conflict — especially with those that you care about. Rather than holding back on your emotions then erupting, you’ll find better tactics to express how you feel in a loving way.
This week calls for personal reflection in order to understand the best roads to navigate in the upcoming days. It’s not that you’re unsure of how to move forward, but you want to align yourself with something that ignites the higher minded parts of yourself that speaks to your heart.
Sometimes you are too fair, which can be difficult if you're being wronged. Even in the face of adversity, the best thing to do is to handle matters in an authentic manner. Then you can walk away from the matter knowing that you gave it your all and did your best.
Abundance and prosperity comes to those who are willing to make essential financial changes. Although it’s been a while since you’ve been able to attain monetary gain, this week opens up the roads to personal success and heightens your bank account. Financial growth and wellness can happen, now that you’re ready.
With your confidence at a high, there is nothing that you can’t achieve. Now that you are willing and wanting to make a big splash into the deep end of the ocean, you will be able to seek out all the objectives and desires that you want on a deep level.
You’ve been relying on fate and destiny to bring your dreams to light. However, the most important and essential ingredient in any spell is you. As long as you are clear with your aims and desires, it’ll be easier for you to move towards personal merit and success this week.
Stop trying to fight and resist the changes that are happening in your world. The moment you lean into them and accept these situations, you’ll be able to move along and flow easily with them. An open heart and mind will guide you along the way in your personal journey.
You are in the midst of a huge metamorphosis that will heal your life. The sweet spot is at the end of the week and allows you to salve old emotional wounds and mend your broken heart. Use this time to your advantage and give yourself TLC through the process.
Augmenting and correcting bad habits can be harder than it looks, which is why this week calls for you to make a plan on how you want to change the problems and make them better. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself in how you transform. Take it day-by-day, Pisces.

The week starts off with a fraught Full Moon in Aries on October 20 that brings major changes to our lives. Mars, who’s in Libra, squares off with Pluto, who’s in Capricorn, on October 22. This powerful astrological aspect will create power struggles and drama with others. The Sun moves into Scorpio on October 23, allowing everyone to dive deep within themselves and evolve over the next 30 days. Venus, who’s in Sagittarius, and Neptune, who’s retrograde in Pisces, square off on October 26. Dreaminess, exhaustion, sensitivity, and paranoia in love will exist as a result.
We live in a material world, which is a sentiment that’s consuming your energies. When the Sun shifts into Scorpio on October 23, the focus will be on how you can use your power and status to attain your goals. Rather than fixate on how to rule the world, use the planetary alignments to implement change within yourself and the world. Being influential doesn’t mean having money and being bossy, it means having the ability to make changes that can benefit everyone — not just you.
It’s always good to check in on existing contracts that are in the works. Call your friends and arrange for a friendly get together when the Sun glides into Scorpio on October 23. Suggest an activity like a yoga class or lunch date a few miles out of town to connect with your pals. Use this time to discuss everything that’s been going on and share details of your life. Let those who are close to you into your world and feel your love.
Slowing down isn’t in your nature, but it will allow you to stay what you mean when you feel it, instead of impulsively stating unverified facts that can hurt others. Also, it gives you the chance to make the best decisions possible (that is if you choose to analyze the situations thoroughly). By the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to contemplate your next moves and think before you take action in pursuing your goals. This will secure a victorious triumph for you.
Scorpio season awakens your tender heart from its temporary slumber. The moment the Sun glides into Scorpio on October 23 is when you’ll begin to feel the intense emotional shift that heightens your sentimental vibes. You’ll want to take risks in putting your feelings out in the open and expressing your desires to others. Don’t be afraid to seek the love that you deserve this month. Rather than being lost in a dream, try to find the emotions and frequency that aligns with your vibe.
Your personal life is heating up. Being the vivacious lion that you are, it won’t go unnoticed. When the Sun moves into Scorpio on October 23, you’ll begin to implement extra self-care into your regular routine. This means taking more cat naps throughout the day, disconnecting from the drama, and adorning your claws with beautiful nail art. Boundaries are the only thing that’s getting in the way of having peace of mind. Double up on protecting your energetic realm by setting important and necessary limits.
The problem with not letting your mind rest and disengaging from obstacles that present themselves is that you are focusing too much on things that aren’t important. These are only minor obstacles. Allot yourself the chance to see the bigger picture. Don’t overthink matters too much and set yourself up for self-sabotage. Stop analyzing everything and everyone, Virgo. The moment you gain a distant perspective, the easier it will be to see situations with a clearer lenses. Consider this before becoming stressed or upset.
Use this week’s cosmic shifts to attain your aspirations — you know, the ones that you had in your youth that have been put on the back burner for years. This will lead you towards personal fulfillment and happiness because you are living out your dreams (minus the minor detour that you took for a minute). The more you connect with the visions that you wanted years ago and the person you believed you could be, the sweeter it will be when they come your way.
When you get a sense of a situation, you rarely debate your sentiments and trust your gut instincts. That is, until now. You’re starting to second guess yourself. This will lead you to investigate matters thoroughly to get to the bottom of the matter. It’s not that you’re unwilling to believe what is being shown to you, it’s more that you don’t want to. You’d rather believe in the dream — even though it’s not real, as the truth will prove to be stranger than fiction.
This week gives you the opportunity to restart your cash flow and discuss your spending habits with a confidant. This will give you the chance to set realistic financial goals and live nicely on the allotted budget in order to have extra money to spend on the upcoming seasonal holidays. When you go shopping for presents, purchase meaningful and sentimental gifts that will lift the spirits of those you’re giving it to. The cost doesn’t matter as long as it’s from the heart.
I Committing to a cause that you believe in well value to feel as though you are helping others, making headway in their personal aspirations, and fulfilling a part of your self that has felt empty. Use this week as a chance to align with organizations or projects that speak to your heart. Doing so will make you feel good so you are a part of a bigger picture that helps others heal, grow, change, and be the best version of themselves.
You’re finally making headway with your boss, peers, and family members by getting the positive praise and feedback that you have wanted to hear for the past few months. The caveat is that you are finding that all that glitters isn’t necessarily gold when it comes to your goals, objectives, and relationships (mostly because you are longing to focus more on your personal life at the moment) which is why you will be reassessing and reflecting on your plans for the future.
The Sun’s ingress into Scorpio calls for you to investigate life’s mysteries — particularly situations that are affecting your relationships. You can’t easily let matters go, that is until you’ve found answers that resonate with your line of thinking. What you find out may be disheartening, resulting in tensions rising with others. Before you take the argument to the next level, ask yourself if the punishment fits the crime? If not, you may opt to forgive and forget.
