As Pluto makes its seismic shift into Aquarius on its twenty-year course towards a radical planetary revamp, this week lets the convivial, congenial, can-do Sagittarian sunshine in. Here’s your weekly horoscope for November 18-24, 2024.
Scorpio, Oct 23–Nov 21
As this week’s Sun and Mercury render general energetics less introspectively Scorpionic and more outwardly Sagittaric, don’t drag tired old worn-out stories to the seasonal bonfire. Or, if you must, throw them in quick to incinerate and step away. It’s time for a new day.
Sagittarius, Nov 22–Dec 21
November bursts into bloom for you as this week’s sun ushers in your birthday season. Mercury about to reverse in your sign mightn’t seem like the ideal celestial gift, but working with what it offers — cosmic cruise control — can actually make the lead-up to the silly season far less frantic.
Capricorn, Dec 22–Jan 19
Planetary heavyweight Pluto finally exits Capricorn for this lifetime — after a momentous fifteen-year stay. Even better news is vivacious Venus is making her executive and upmarket entrance into your sign this week. All this invites you to fill your party glass with light-hearted fun, bubbles, and congenial company.
Aquarius, Jan 20–Feb 18
Aquarians thrive on charismatic conversations, so Mercury in the sign of have-a-chat turns you into a whirling dervish of information exchange. As this week kicks off a season of meetings galore, parties and more, give that agile mind an occasional break and your organs of listening a little more exercise.
Pisces, Feb 18–Mar 20
As Mercury flutters his winged booties and takes off for projects new, options unexplored and a whole lot of shopping, it’s still a bit soon to succumb totally to holiday hedonism. But not to combine business with pleasure at end-of-year events by keeping alert for interesting new opportunities.
Aries, Mar 21–Apr 19
If your boss planet Mars has you impatient with folk getting your goat and working your nerves, best cool your jets because you really don’t want to be burning bridges. Downplay dramatic reactions by not acting on them, since outbursts or temper flares aren’t going to serve you this week.
Taurus, Apr 20–May 20
While this week hits the interpersonal refresh button, you might want to keep taking your flexibility pills, because right now giving a little could gain you a lot. With Venus at her most methodical, a disciplined ticking off the to-do list will be your most efficient and productive approach.
Gemini, May 21–Jun 20
The travel bug tends to bite during the current astral cycle. If that happens, take extra care arranging holiday bookings, because Mercury’s about to reverse, which can disrupt the most carefully laid plans. If mailing gifts this week it’s probably worth paying a little extra to insure and track packages.
Cancer, Jun 21–Jul 22
Mars wants to blast ahead with its agenda, but are there any niggling background concerns, or some unknown factors? Try not to micromanage or project too far into the future — things are changing too fast for that. As this week turns up the heat, stay engaged but slow down.
Leo, Jul 23–Aug 22
The sun blazing into its most adventurous placement is your annual cycle for moving beyond your familiar comfort zone to engage with diverse perspectives and unusual new experiences. While Mars in Leo has you speaking out loud and proud, don’t forget to do the dance of diplomatic strategy.
Virgo, Aug 23–Sep 22
The current shadow of Mercury retrograde plus the moon in your thorough sign around 22 November jointly advises checking special documents carefully, especially those concerning travel arrangements, giving important messages a final edit and trying not to put too much pressure on those around you this week.
Libra, Sep 23–Oct 22
Yes, constant renegotiation of what you’ve already negotiated a half dozen times before can get totes tiresome, but as this week finally says goodbye to emotional intensity and hullo free-ranging, breakaway season, now you can start thinking big again and going wide instead of deep.
