Astrology by Lisa Stardust

This week’s astrology is a moment to proceed with extreme caution and be reminded that others are coming from a deeply visceral space. Arguments are highly possible through these transits, both on a personal level and within the broader scope of power. The best advice is to stay out of messiness. The Sun in Scorpio aligns with Jupiter retrograde in Cancer and Saturn retrograde in Pisces on November 17, forming a Grand Water Trine that highlights our creativity. Later in the day, Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius harmonizes with Pluto in Aquarius, giving our words authority and dominance. Venus in Scorpio connects with the Nodes of Destiny on November 19, making it a fateful day for alliances. Mercury moonwalks into Scorpio on the 18th, opposes Uranus retrograde in Taurus while aspecting Neptune retrograde on the 19th, allowing our words to flow poetically. The New Moon in Scorpio shares a conjunction with Mercury retrograde on the 20th, giving us the power to assess matters and clarify situations. The following day, the Sun contends with Uranus and Neptune retrograde, heightening our individuality. The Sun, adventurous and enthusiastic, enters Sagittarius on November 21. Mercury retrograde aligns with Jupiter and Saturn retrograde on the 22nd, bringing uncertainty about the future. However, the Sun and Pluto are in sextile to each other on November 23, which boosts our confidence.

Aries

A friend or acquaintance may ask for a small loan during this week. Although you want to give them the cash, it may create a debt in your personal finances. Before lending the money, plan out the repayment schedule to ensure you don’t go without.

Taurus

Sometimes you have to take a step back and look at things from a broader perspective. This allows you to see the actual situation and matters at play with a fresh perspective. This luminary will enable you to have a chance to get real with all situations, if you do that.

Gemini

Tension is brewing with your colleagues. But you don’t have to deal with the drama. Rather than arguing in the name of pride and in an effort to defend yourself, take a moment to understand the situation on a fundamental level. Use kindness to help them recognize their mistakes.

Cancer

Relationships are on your mind, making it a prime time to set boundaries with those you care about but who are overstepping their bounds. This will give you the chance to sustain the commitments you are currently emotionally invested in. That way, everyone involved knows their place and can act accordingly.

Leo

Get reflective under the New Moon. Home is where your heart is. Take time for yourself to have a lovely evening and connect with family. It will be fun taking a stroll down memory lane and talking about memories from the past. You will laugh, cry, and have a blast.

Virgo

You’re realizing that sometimes it’s best not to open your mouth and share secrets, because all the clandestine tea and skeletons in your closet are coming out. This will ensure that you don’t share your secrets, as well as the tea of others, to avoid drama.

Libra

It’s time to take control of your finances. Organize all of the debts and money that you currently owe others to ensure that you aren’t in a not-so-great financial situation. This will allow you to breathe for the first time in a while when it comes to money.

Scorpio

Your emotions and heart are on display. Although it’s so unlike you, it may be essential to let your feelings out — even if you are afraid to speak from the heart due to your austere nature. Let it all flow out without any hesitation.

Sagittarius

It’s ok to take a moment away from the scene and let yourself rest. The minute you give yourself time to destress and chill, you will begin to feel at peace within. You can realign your aura, chakras, and energy by detoxing your body, mind, and spirit with mindful relaxation.

Capricorn

It’s time to assess your friendship circle and identify the weakest link. If you recognize the source of the problem in your life, then you can take steps to protect yourself from their energy. Additionally, you can focus on those who genuinely care about you within your group.

Aquarius

Work matters or are at the forefront of your mind, bringing up power struggles and arguments that have been pushed under the rug for the past few months. Revisiting such situations with your coworkers can create tensions at work, but it will ultimately heal them over time if you allow them to.

Pisces

Call up an old crush and get your flirt on. Please don’t be shy when reaching out to them. They’ve been thinking about you, too. If you’re in a relationship, then it’s advisable to have a romantic evening gazing at the stars and the Moon while cuddling with your significant one.
