Weekly Astrological Forecast

We’re excited to announce a new format for the Weekly Astrological Forecast. Inspired by Scorpio Season, we’ve prepared a more thoughtful and refined version. Now, all the astrology for the week and everything you need to know is in one reading 📖.

Mars enters Leo briefly at the beginning of the week and will remain there for the next three weeks before going retrograde. Due to its square to Pluto, revelations are possible, marking the last aspects of Pluto in Capricorn. The middle of the week will be highlighted by Mercury's favorable trine to the North Node. Don’t be shy about using your ideas to move toward your true purpose. And... don’t be too idealistic at the end of the week, as Venus squares Neptune. Keep your feet on the ground and approach your feelings and relationships with clarity. Now, let's break this down in detail.

This week, Mars finally moves into Leo on Monday, November 4. In Cancer, Mars tends to soften its usual drive and assertiveness, which can make us feel a bit sluggish or low on motivation. That’s why this transition into Leo is especially significant. If you have Mars in Cancer or Libra in your natal chart, you may have felt this energy more intensely over the last 45 days. But don’t worry, things are about to improve! Many of you will feel a surge of confidence this week. It’s the perfect time to take bold steps, assert our will, and pursue our passions with renewed energy. Now, let’s explore what this Mars in Leo energy means for us. Over the next three weeks, tap into that fiery passion that Leo is known for. This energy encourages us to be bold and expressive, inviting us to take center stage in our lives. It’s a time to embrace creativity, enthusiasm, and self-expression. Mars in Leo inspires us to follow our hearts and pursue what truly excites us. Whether it’s a passion project, a new hobby, or a long-held dream, now is the time to go for it! This is an opportunity to shine and let your unique talents and charisma draw others in. But wait, why only three weeks, what happens next? Keep in mind that in just a month, Mars will go retrograde. It’s crucial to make the most of this window before that retrograde phase begins, which will last until February of next year. By the way, just hours before this shift, on Sunday November 3, when this episode comes out, Mars in Cancer will make a final square to Pluto in Capricorn. This aspect can stir up intense feelings and reveal hidden motivations, forcing us to confront what needs to change. And while Mars won't be very potent until February, this will be the last time Pluto is in Capricorn in our lifetime as it won’t enter Capricorn again until 248 years from now, so pay close attention to what this energy may bring up to the surface. Also on November 4, the Sun in Scorpio makes a trine to Saturn in Pisces. This alignment brings in an easy flow of discipline and structure, allowing us to effectively channel our ambitions. It’s a perfect opportunity to set realistic goals and build a solid foundation for our dreams. The Moon in Sagittarius will also square Saturn, potentially clouding this picture. Taking action toward your goals can provide emotional comfort.

As Mercury in Sagittarius forms a trine to the North Node in Aries on Wednesday, November 6, we’re looking at an interesting dynamic. Now, it’s good to remember that the lunar nodes usually move in a retrograde motion through the Zodiac. So, while they’re traveling backward, they’ll continue their journey in Aries until mid-January. Mercury in Sagittarius is also gearing up for its retrograde soon, and its Pre-Shadow period kicks off on Thursday, November 7th. This is when we might start noticing the first hints of its retrograde energy. So, a little heads-up: be careful when buying any tech gadgets as gifts! Or better yet, wait until after December 15th to make your purchases. Speaking of gifts, we’ve got some exciting surprises in store for you and your loved ones—stay tuned! But back to Mercury and the North Node. The trine is one of astrology’s most harmonious aspects, forming when two celestial bodies are 120 degrees apart. It creates a natural flow of energy, allowing these planets to work together seamlessly. The nodes themselves are powerful points that represent our destiny and life path. So, this trine highlights our ability to use our ideas and knowledge to move toward our true purpose. With the North Node in Aries emphasizing courage and independence, and Mercury in Sagittarius adding a dose of optimism and a thirst for truth, this combination pushes us to actively pursue our goals with an open mind. You might find your mentors or lessons through conversations, be interested in travel and exploration, or more inclined to practicing a positive mindset—sometimes, it’s just the impulse that counts! This trine is also about learning through experience. You might find that the universe sends you lessons in unexpected ways—through a conversation with a friend, a book you stumble upon, or a trip that opens your eyes to a new perspective. Keep an open mind and let curiosity guide you. Remember, with the North Node in Aries, the key is to be brave and take that first step. Mercury in Sagittarius will help you think big, and this trine is the gentle nudge you need to go after what truly lights you up. So, even if Mercury’s retrograde throws a few curveballs your way, trust that every detour is leading you closer to your true path. Let your thoughts and actions flow with the energy of this aspect, and you might be surprised at how much progress you make.

And not everything is as rosy this week as it may seem. At the end of the week on Saturday, November 9, Venus in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces square each other, and with Neptune now in retrograde, it creates the perfect conditions for confusion in feelings and difficulties in communication. Neptune retrograde reinforces our idealism, encouraging us to ponder dreams, but also creates a fog around reality. As I was considering this aspect, I suddenly remembered that the new season of Emily in Paris had come out! I was excited and eager to see how her story would continue. But I have to say, I couldn't help but notice how vividly this aspect comes through in every episode. All of the love illusions and misunderstandings between the characters seem to reflect all of the complexities we face when Neptune begins to influence our lives. So, communication becomes difficult and it is easy to misinterpret the intentions of others. At this time you may feel that your words are not getting through to the person you are talking to, and vice versa. This is similar to the situation when Emily tries to explain her feelings in French, but it turns out that her words are not properly understood. This square creates an atmosphere where ideals and reality are in constant conflict. We begin to project our expectations onto those around us, which often leads to misunderstandings and tension. And, of course, it's important to remember that honest and open communication is the key to avoiding emotional wounds. And advice that will save your weekend: if you feel emotions running high, take a break. Sometimes it is better to step back to analyze the situation and understand your feelings, dear. Pay special attention to these tips if your Venus is in fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) or Pisces. Venus in fire signs often seeks passionate and intense experiences, but can also tend to be impulsive and idealize partners. This can lead to disappointment if reality doesn't live up to your expectations. On the other hand, Venus in Pisces can immerse herself in dreams and fantasies, often losing touch with reality. This makes her especially vulnerable to misunderstandings in relationships. In times like these, it's important to remember the need for clear communication and self-reflection to avoid emotional pitfalls and strengthen your bonds. But by the way, while we're already talking about the importance of speaking the same language, don't forget that our words shape our reality. How we express our thoughts and feelings makes a huge difference. Seriously, I've seen devices that analyze everything you say throughout the day, and I'd be interested to know what words I use most often. I think it could reveal a lot of insights about my inner world and beliefs. For example, if I'm constantly talking about fears or doubts, it could indicate that I should work on self-acceptance and positive thinking. It's important to remember that being aware of what you say is the first step to making changes that can lead to more harmonious relationships and a better understanding of yourself.
