Aries:
The stars are setting you up for a joke this week, but the punch line won’t arrive until Friday. There’s other big news before you get there, starting with your ruler Mars. He finally leaves Aquarius after an extremely long visit, landing in your dream zone on Thursday. This will fire up your fantasy life and ignite your dreams for the next six weeks or so. The next day, Venus Retrograde ends – this is a very happy moment to celebrate relationship repair! But here’s the joke bit – Mercury Retrograde begins on the EXACT SAME DAY. Prep for three weeks of travel delays.
Taurus:
The planets are putting on a show this week, but you may not find yourself applauding very much, Taurus. First the more serious part: Mars, the planet of action and drive, finally moves out of Aquarius on Thursday. He spent an extra long period of months here, emphasizing your career, since last June. Now you can take a break from obsession with professional matters and focus on your friends. On Friday, Venus Retrograde ends (YAY!) – but exactly on the same day, Mercury Retrograde begins. This is the stars’ big LOL for November, and you’re excused if you don’t think it’s funny.
Gemini:
This is one of those weeks that ends with a bang – but you’ll likely feel the reverberations more than any other sign. First the big news is that Mars finally shifts into Pisces after spending an extraordinary long time in your travel zone, revving up your wanderlust since last June. Now you’ll be obsessed with your career for about six weeks. The next day brings two major events, and you’ll adore the first one: Venus Retrograde is ending! This is a huge relief for your creativity and pleasure zone. But here’s the rub – Mercury Retrograde begins on the exact same night, in your house of relationships.
Cancer:
Your sensitive soul will feel the end-of-week shifts right at the beginning, Cancer. Mars finally leaves Aquarius on Thursday, where he’s been heating up your sex life since last June – and potentially causing some conflict with your lover or long-term partner. Over the next six weeks or so, expect major travel fever to set in. The next morning, Venus Retrograde finally ends, which should markedly improve your love life. But in a cruel cosmic joke, Mercury Retrograde begins that very evening. The next three weeks might bring some major messiness to your work life. Stay super organized to avoid any unnecessary chaos.
Leo:
Love, partnership and sex are on your cosmic agenda this week. On Thursday, aggressive Mars finally moves out of your house of relationships, where he’s been hanging out since last June, causing a fair amount of drama for your partnerships. Now he turns his intense energy toward your sex life – and the next six weeks are likely to be HOT AS HELL. If you don’t currently have a lover, you should very soon. On Friday there is decidedly mixed news as Venus Retrograde ends in the morning, only to be followed up by the start of Mercury Retrograde by the evening.
Virgo:
This is one of those weird and wild weeks in the stars, Virgo. Since you’re so sensitive, you’ll likely feel the anxiety-provoking vibes before anyone else. On Thursday Mars moves into Pisces – your opposite sign. This sets you up for some potential relationship turbulence over the next six weeks, but the upshot is that it can be really good for your intimate life with a long-term partner. It’s all about arguments leading to hot makeup sex. Friday brings the end of Venus Retrograde – a huge relief – but the simultaneous beginning of Mercury Retrograde – UGH. Avoid conflict with family.
Libra:
This week brings good news and not-the-greatest news, Libra – but you should definitely do that glass-half full thing you do so well for best results. First Mars leaves Aquarius on Thursday, after a super long visit (since last June). He’ll now spend six or so weeks in your work zone, fueling you to get things done and then some. Next, some good news: Venus Retrograde is over on Friday! This is a bigger relief for you than any other sign – your love life and self-esteem are about to get back on track. The not-so-great news is that Mercury Retrograde begins later than night.
Scorpio:
This week is pretty intense, especially because your ruler Mars is on the move this Thursday. He’s spent many months hovering and retrograding through your house of domestic affairs, bringing a bit of an aggressive edge to your family relationships. Now he moves on into your love and pleasure zone – a much better fit! Dating, mating, and relating is going to be HOT through early 2019, Scorpio. On Friday there’s major news as Venus Retrograde finally ends, setting your love life on the right track. Unfortunately – Mercury Retrograde begins later that evening. At least this one will only make your finances messy for three weeks!
Sagittarius:
Thank the stars that you’ve now got Jupiter as your big buffer in the sky for the whole year, Sagi bb. With that kind of backup, you can handle anything. Aggressive Mars finally leaves Aquarius on Thursday. He’s spent the last five months mostly in your communication zone, making you a bit hotter-to-handle than-usual. Now he’ll move into your home zone, where he’ll bring a bit of aggression to your close family relationships, so aim to keep thing cool. Friday brings positive news as Venus Retrograde ends. But in a really annoying cosmic joke, Mercury Retrograde begins the EXACT SAME DAY – in your very own sign.
Capricorn:
The planets are kind of kidding around this week, but you may not find it terribly funny, Capricorn. First Mars leaves your money zone at long last, easing the pressure off your desire to earn and burn through cash. For the next six weeks, he’ll hang out in your communication zone, bringing a bit of an edge to your talking and thinking style. Friday is where the humor lies, as Venus Retrograde ends on the exact same day that Mercury Retrograde begins. Yes – you’re about to trade some sexual/romantic healing for a series of communication breakdowns. At least this one only lasts three weeks.
Aquarius:
This is a very special week in your stars, Aquarius. You’re at the end of a long journey that began late last spring, when Mars first entered your sign and put your ego to the test. The planet of passion is leaving your constellation and moving into your money zone on Thursday. It’s time to put that energy into your finances for the next six weeks or so. Friday brings another ending – Venus Retrograde is finally over, freeing up your love life. Yet you might feel like you can’t have nice things, because Mercury Retrograde begins the same day – in your house of friends and groups.
Pisces:
You’re about to bring the fire and then some, Pisces. That’s because Mars, the planet of passion and action, is moving into your sign this Thursday. He’ll remain there through early 2019, pushing you to your limits in terms of energy and potential aggression. It’s not like you to fly off the handle, but with Mars in your stars, you’ll have to watch your temper. Friday brings a close to Venus Retrograde, a wonderful development for your love and sex life. However, things aren’t perfect, as Mercury Retrograde begins that very night. You can’t have it all, Ms. Fish!
