Weekly Horoscope: November 1 - 7

On Tuesday, November 2, messenger planet Mercury clashes with Pluto, the planet of secrets. Things are expressed that are usually taboo or not meant to be spoken about. This is a positive time to confront things that have been weighing on your mind, to talk about things that have been taking up too much mental space!

The transformative new moon in Scorpio comes on Thursday, November 4: New moons are the beginnings of a new lunar month, and they give insight into what the rest of the month has to offer. This one faces off with Uranus, the planet of surprises, so there’s no telling what November will bring! We are ready to go outside of our comfort zones and take on new challenges.

Also on Thursday, the sun faces off with Uranus, the planet of rebellion. This is a standoff between authority and radicals—one side must forfeit! Political predictions aside, it’s a quirky vibe. This is a time to recognize idiosyncrasies and surrender to life’s unpredictability.

On Friday, November 5, Venus, the planet of love, enters Capricorn! Venus in Capricorn has high standards and can be materialistic. Because of this year’s Venus retrograde (coming in December), Venus will be in Capricorn for a while! There will be an assessment of your values and desires in the Capricorn sector of your chart.

The planet of communication, Mercury, enters Scorpio on Friday at 5:34 PM. Mercury in Scorpio’s emotional intelligence lies in the knowledge that some things are better left unsaid, which leads to a hunt for the truth. Mercury in Scorpio can experience discomfort in not knowing, and doesn’t want to leave any mental stone unturned. Communication is thorough.

All times ET.

Scorpio season is a touchy and intuitive time for you, Aries! The new moon falls in a sensitive and intimate sector of your chart, asking you what you are ready to surrender. While Aries is the boss of the zodiac, sometimes things work better if you let someone else have control. There might be some financial circumstances that put you in a situation where you’re ready to let your trusted partner have more of a handle on things. It can be intimidating, of course, because the outcome seems uncertain. Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters a very prominent sector of your chart, granting you with charm in public affairs. At the end of Venus in Capricorn (it retrogrades next month), you might have a completely new take on your old values and desires for your career.

The new moon falls in your chart’s house of relationships, beginning a fresh cycle in your commitments to others. This can begin or end a relationship, or it simply find your current partnerships taking on a new shape. While loyalty is important to you in relationships, you need to figure out how to leave yourself enough space to do whatever you like, on a whim. Of course life requires a compromise between the two. You can be wild and free while also having trust, emotional depth, and consistency. Your planetary ruler Venus enters fellow earth sign Capricorn, asking you to think about what you believe in, especially when it comes to relationships and commitment to others. Take your time—Venus isn’t going anywhere for a while!

The new moon falls in your chart’s house of work and routine, giving you a moment of pause to invite the things that you want into your life. Work and health matters are kind of up in the air. While you’re waiting on answers from others, at least you know what’s going on right in front of you, in the moment! This can cause some mental restlessness; but there are some things that are impossible to plan for. There is a heavy focus on your work, health, and lifestyle over the coming weeks. Intimacy gets deeper as Venus, the planet of love and beauty, moves through a shared, sensitive sector of your chart. How much can you trust your partners with shared responsibilities? Relationships become bureaucratic so that they can withstand anything.

The new moon in fellow water sign Scorpio brings a fresh start in your creative and romantic life. This can mean new friendships, or just having a renewed sense of appreciation for the things that make you happy. Cancer is one of the most creative signs of the zodiac! New moons are a time of uncertainty and darkness, but your own internal truth can guide you to emotional and artistic expression that is only possible in stillness! Venus, the planet of love and beauty, moves into your house of relationships, where it will be for a while! You’re realizing what you value in your relationships, and as Venus retrogrades, maybe those values will adjust so that you can love better.

Scorpio season brings a heavy emphasis on your private life: home, family, and the things that Instagram is not supposed to see, but somehow does anyway. The new moon in your chart’s domestic sector begins a new cycle in your home and family life. This can be an incredibly restful time and an optimal moment to hide away in your room…but the spotlight is calling! You need to find a way to balance your need for rest with the restless call of fame. The internet and the strange eyes that it brings might not be the best things to bring to your restful sanctuary, though you might find that your experience is valuable to share with others. Venus, the planet of love and money, moves into your house of work and routine for the next few months, asking you to be more practical when it comes to humble brags.

The new moon in your chart’s house of communication and commuting corresponds with a moment of uncertainty. You might not be sure about what to think, since it’s not totally clear right now—the sky is dark! Surrendering to a lack of knowledge, and trusting that it doesn’t actually matter, can guide you through this moment of silence. There is a restlessness to this lunation that needs to know everything, since it’s opposite electric Uranus. There can be new discoveries that have your mind working overtime. Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters into your charts house of pleasure and art, for an extended stay. Venus in Capricorn will bring you an understanding of what you want from sex, friendships, and creative projects.

The new moon in your chart’s house of personal resources brings a new energy to your financial life. This can be a moment when your income or budget gets a change. Maybe it’s because you’re totally uncertain about who or what will be providing for you in the future, as the new moon and the sun face off with Uranus! One can only control so much; the future is constantly changing. Your planetary ruler Venus moves into the most private and personal sector of your chart and for the foreseeable future, you’re focused on your home and family life, perhaps taking some time away from prying eyes. Privacy and rest are prioritized, and you may be a little nostalgic for childhood friendships, too.

The new moon falls in your sign, Scorpio! New moons are uncertain, but at least you can identify some things that are certain and real. It’s impossible to fully understand what other people are thinking or what they desire, because things can always change. As the sun faces off with Uranus, the planet of surprises, you’re releasing some sense of authority over your relationships. Wether you’re fully leaning into their chaos, or fully leaning into your own world, a lack of balance and compromise will exacerbate tensions in your relationships. The planet of relationships, Venus, enters a cerebral sector of your chart: You’re going to be thinking a lot more about what you value and desire, and doing some soul searching when it comes to love. You’ll have the wits to express it all, as the planet of communication, Mercury, enters your sign!

The new moon in your chart’s house of mental health has you focused on things you’ve pushed into the corners of your mind. Things can seem insurmountable unless you have a little bit of faith. There is a tension between the unpredictability of your work, lifestyle, and habits, and your need for privacy and secrecy as the sun faces off with Uranus. The planet of love and beauty, Venus, leaves your sign for Capricorn. The upcoming Venus retrograde will bring a shift in values when it comes to the material world and money, but for now, it’s time to indulge.

You’re finding out about things that maybe you shouldn’t.

The new moon in your chart’s house of objectives and dreams can connect you to new goals and desires for your future. The future is always changing, after all! This is especially true as the new moon faces off with Uranus, the planet of the unexpected. Sexuality, friendships, and art cannot be planned—a lot of the best things in life happen spontaneously! Because of this, you might see a change in your goals. Venus, the planet of love and beauty, enters your sign for an extended stay, and you might find you’re ready to realign with your own self image and standards of beauty. As Venus soon retrogrades in your sign, you’ll be reconsidering the things that you desire in relationships and just generally how you perceive yourself.

The new moon falls in your chart’s house of career, starting a new cycle in your public life. Scorpio season brings you popularity and authority, every year! In recent years, however, things have been different, since you’ve been trying to hold it down despite your home and family life being totally unruly (thanks to Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, in your domestic sector for seven years). The new moon offers you a chance to recenter, focusing on questions that you have about your purpose and destiny. You can come up with a completely new vision for how you want to be recognized and the role you’d like to play in this lifetime. You’re paying attention to parts of your desires and relationships that have been pushed to the back corners of your mind as Venus enters a secretive and subconscious sector of your chart, where it will stay for a while!

The new moon falls in your chart’s house of higher education and spirituality, bringing new existential questions to research.

Scorpio season asks what you believe in, and what you think is the golden rule of your life. You’re excited to share your ideas and beliefs as Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Scorpio, revving up any ideas for publishing or public speaking that you may have.
