Your Weekly Horoscope by The Astro Twins
Your Weekly Overview November 1st – November 7th
Change is rarely easy, even when it’s necessary. Get ready to face the music this Thursday, November 4, as the year’s only new moon in Scorpio pushes you out of the frying pan and into the transformational fire. No more stalling and no more excuses! Something’s gotta give—or maybe it needs to go, in order to create space for new opportunity to flow in. No Band-Aid fixes please. With metamorphic Uranus in Taurus landing at a challenging opposition to the new moon, drill down to the root cause of the issue and devise long-lasting solutions. As you get the ball rolling, be consistent—and consistently kind to yourself. The perfect path won’t just reveal itself overnight. This is a NEW moon, so it’s all about jumping off the starting block. You have until May 16, 2022—the date of the full moon in Scorpio, which is also a game-changing lunar eclipse—to break out of restrictive habits and replace them with life-enhancing rituals!
One day after the new moon, on Friday, strategic Mercury sweeps into Scorpio, supporting the new moon’s alchemy until November 24. How can you make the process of change, well, sexier? Maybe you need to slip off for a visionary weekend with your journal (and mastermind crew) or book some bodywork.
During this cycle, seduce with an air of mystery and a measure of control. Words are not the only way to get a point across. For the next few weeks, it’s the pregnant pause, the flashing gaze, or the heat of body language that will speak volumes. And are you prepared to pass every loyalty test? Trust is a must with Mercury in this investigative position, and no one’s extending the benefit of the doubt. Don’t just pledge your allegiance, prove it too!
If you’re not ready to go the distance, don’t even waste people’s time. Because Friday also brings the start of a seismic cycle that will last into 2022. Venus, the planet of love, seduction and beauty, starts talking serious business in Capricorn. Normally, Venus hovers in a sign for four weeks, but because of an upcoming retrograde (which we’ll get to in a minute), she’ll set up shop here for four MONTHS, until March 6, 2022.
Kiss that situationship goodbye! Venus in Capricorn cycle streamlines love goals, demanding sharper definition of relationships. Exclusivity is not required, but don’t label your Thursday night Netflix and chill hookup “moving toward something real,” just because it happens on a weekly schedule. Have an honest talk before the retrograde, which starts on December 19 and won’t let up until January 29, 2022. Sadly, this could interrupt holiday season harmony if you don’t deal with brewing issues, like, NOW. The next six weeks are buffer time. Fortify your bonds, make investments into the emotional bank account, get into dialogue about any potential disruptions that could throw a wrench in the works as the calendar turns.
Couples can use this pragmatic Venus phase to align schedules and plans—and produce something memorable as a pair. Sure, a game-changing New Year’s celebration counts, but think bigger! Map out your one-year (or five-year) goals; share bucket lists (in bed). Some people might discover a deal breaker through this process. Uh-oh. If one person is dreaming of white picket fences in suburbia while the other is thinking white sand beaches in five different surf towns, it’s best to know now. As a consolation, cool-headed Venus in Capricorn can turn mismatched lovers into friends.
Are things on track for a happily ever after? You may have some big announcements to make before the year is through. One thing to note about Venus retrograde, however, is that astrologers do NOT recommend scheduling nuptials during this six-week phase, which happens every 18 months. (Remember May 13 to June 25, 2020?) However, if you’ve already booked the shindig, obviously, you’re not going to cancel. Here’s a workaround: consider a secret City Hall certification before December 19 to seal the deal in celestially approved stone. Or plan to renew vows one year later, when you can be 100 percent certain Venus will be flowing in direct motion.
