This week brings some clarity about what we want and what it might take to get there. A relationship can still matter to you even if the way you’ve been relating needs to change. A goal you’ve had for years might feel more within reach once you question the rules you thought you had to follow. Think about what you’re trying to manifest and where you could use your energy differently.

With Mercury and Venus still retrograde, familiar habits can pull us back in just as we’re beginning to see other possibilities. If an old conversation or an unfinished plan comes up again, look at it with what you know now. What would you ask for this time? What are you still doing simply because it’s what you’ve always done? Give yourself room to change your approach, especially if you still care about where you’re headed.

The major astrological aspects of the week are:

November 4: Venus retrograde in Libra connects with Jupiter in Leo, urging us to focus our energy and enhance our lives with positive thinking. It's a good time to do a powerful wellness or self-care activity.

November 4: The Sun and Mercury retrograde in Scorpio create an aspect called “cazimi,” which means in the “heart of the Sun.” We can cultivate our visions and set the stage for the next steps in our life, thanks to the clarity we are experiencing.

November 8/9: The week ends with the New Moon in Scorpio intensifying the sky on Sunday night (if you are on the West Coast) and Monday morning (if you reside on the East Coast). We are going through growing pains that push us to the next stage of life, so prepare to release and rebuild pursuits.

Aries

You are in a position of authority, but you are having second thoughts about your ability to be in command. The retrogrades are affecting your confidence, so a grounding technique like sitting on the floor can help you re-energize your stamina and prowess. Never forget that you are fierce by nature!

Taurus

Your unconditional mentality needs an upgrade. Setting a standard for what you will accept in relationships can be challenging because you always accept others for who they are. Still, you'll find it extraordinary to set boundaries and enforce limits. Their accountability matters — hopefully you can do the same.

Gemini

Committing to a daily routine that promotes rigidity is vital to your well-being. You need a set schedule to stay on point and not deviate from what you need to do. Otherwise, you may not be able to stay on task and remain organized in the upcoming weeks.

Cancer

You're realigning with creative projects that speak to your heart. It's been a while since you've wanted to lean into your artistic senses, so this is a profound moment of clarity as your expansiveness unfolds. Along your journey, you will discover the beauty surrounding you. Use that in your projects.

Leo

Re-cementing your connection with family members gives you the chance to strengthen the bond. If old issues require reconciliation and understanding, now is the time to discuss how you can strengthen the dynamic. Find a middle ground to mend fences and try to forgive the past.

Virgo

The way you communicate and engage is evolving, and you're learning to listen to others before talking over them. Sometimes it's hard to hear what they're saying when you're on your high horse and fanatically preaching your point of view to everyone. Their opinion on situations counts — just like yours.

Libra

Starting a financial venture or beginning a way to conserve money to prepare for your future isn't as easy as you think; however, you can implement a savings plan that keeps you aligned with your goals. Stay on budget for the next several months to stay in control of your bank account.

Scorpio

If you're switching up your look for a unique flavor of cool, hit the shops and start your seasonal makeover. It'll feel incredible and exciting to be a trendsetter in a fresh set of fits you can rock for months to come. Everyone will look to you for fashion inspiration.

Sagittarius

Not always having to be the center of attention doesn't mean you're a shrinking violet. Share the stage once in a while to remember the spotlight isn't only for you; it's for many others with charm and grace just as amazing as yours. Be a supportive part of their success story.

Capricorn

At times you become too assertive and unintentionally hurt those you care about. Use the portal as your guide to understand how to be gentler and approach them, rather than coming at them head-on. Offer a less combative approach that is tender and soft. You can attract more bees with honey.

Aquarius

Talk of a new professional opportunity seems hopeful and in reach — even if delays stand in the way of attaining the position. It will be yours for the taking if you are willing to do the work necessary to stand out in a sea of applicants. Don't be shy; state your rizz and achievements. You earned it; now get it!

Pisces

Even though you are popular with an abundance of friends, it doesn't mean you should shut the door on cultivating more people into your orb. Having a well-rounded number of peers is going to make you feel like the Queen Bee — especially since you rule with a glittery velvet glove.
