Mercury retrograde in clashes with Saturn in Capricorn on November 1, and will do so again on November 6, after Mercury ends its retrograde on November 3. The end of Mercury retrograde means we can finally move forward in conversations that have been brewing over the last few weeks, especially concerning your partnerships and shared resources, as well as concerns like debts, taxes, and inheritances. You have been thinking about how seriously you can take your relationships, and whether they’re able to reciprocate the thought and care that you bring.

You’re thinking back to September 23 as Mercury clashes with Saturn, struggling with similar delays in communication or heavy mental atmosphere.

This is the beginning of a new journey in your career, as you step into a greater place of power and influence. You have an extremely far reach—be brave and put yourself out there! You are excited to share all the resources that you’ve accumulated along your journey. It may feel like there’s a lot happening at once and like there’s no information about how things will end up, so stay present in your body, don’t rush to making decisions, and most importantly, reach out for help!

Your planetary ruler Mars ends its retrograde in Aries on November 13, and you’re feeling so much more like yourself!

The new moon in Scorpio lands on November 15, falling in your house of shared resources, transformation, and intimacy! New moons are usually all about new beginnings, but this one is about closure for you, dear Aries. You’re ready to settle debts and say your goodbyes. On a more mundane level, some credit—financial or otherwise—may be offered to you at this time. This new moon also finds Venus squaring off with Pluto, which could add a tinge of jealousy and obsession to the energy. It’s frustrating not to know what the future will bring, but new moons are famously hazy in that way, being that they are the mark of a new start—anything is possible, which can be overwhelming! Control issues may come up, but remember that manipulative or shady behavior is not OK and could benefit from an unbiased third party’s help. Watch out for jealousy in your relationships, especially concerning your career. You are recognizing deeper patterns of possession and impulsivity in your partnerships, learning where deeper, psychological impulses come from. Venus also clashes with Jupiter on November 16, so watch out for over-indulgence and promises that are too big to keep. Be real about what you are actually able to share.

This is a great time to make career plans, but you do need to get clear about expectations and standards in your relationships. It’s also an ideal moment to draw boundaries, come to practical agreements, and tell your partners what you actually have time for. This isn’t the coziest day to cuddle up with a lover, but it’s a fine time to focus on making plans and accomplishing goals.
