Weekly Forecast Nov. 17 - 23, 2025
We start the week on Monday with the Sun and Venus together in intense Scorpio, the Moon in diplomatic Libra, Mars and retrograde Mercury in fiery Sagittarius, retrograde Jupiter in nurturing Cancer, and retrograde Saturn in dreamy Pisces. With so many planets station retrograde this week as well as a heavy water focus, the best words to describe the week ahead are unconventional, unexpected, and emotional. The best way to harness this week’s energy is to lean into the urge to look back and reflect on the past, especially as it pertains to old patterns of thinking, growth, and setbacks. How has the way that you think kept you in cycles regarding progress that may no longer serve you, and how do unfelt emotions keep you stuck in those cycles?
On Tuesday, the Moon joins the Sun and Venus in Scorpio, shifting the balance even more heavily toward water. Today will feel more moody, emotional, and profound. It is a day of deep transformations and self-reinvention. Be cautious to avoid taking things personally and lashing out as a result - instead, when you notice an alarming pattern, take stock of it but wait for a better moment to address it.
On Wednesday, there won’t be much planetary change from Tuesday, but with today being Mercury-ruled, you may feel a pull toward storytelling and meaning-making as retrograde Mercury leaves Sagittarius and joins the Sun, Venus, and the Moon in Scorpio. What stories do you hold onto regarding your self-image, pleasures, and emotions? Are there some that are no longer accurate and can be let go?
On Thursday, there is an exact conjunction between the Sun and the Moon, which forms a New Moon. These two planets are also joined in Scorpio by Venus and retrograde Mercury, so the day is drenched in the waters of intense, secretive, and emotional Scorpio energy. This New Moon marks the beginning of a 6-month cycle surrounding these themes, which will conclude with the Full Moon in Scorpio on May 1, 2026. The house ruled by Scorpio in your chart (determined by your rising sign) will also be activated during this time. Set your intentions for the cycle ahead, ground yourself, and enter this period with gratitude and hope.
The Moon will be in Sagittarius all day on Friday, giving us an emotional preview of the rapidly-approaching Sagittarius season. After a very intense week of introspection, self-discovery, and transformation, today brings a bit of relief with a dose of optimism and vigor.
Saturday will feel similar to Friday. Today is the last day of the Sun in Scorpio, so it is a good day to reflect on the past month and the time we’ve collectively spent diving deep down into our shadow selves before embarking on a new journey in Sagittarius up ahead.
On Sunday, the Sun is in Sagittarius, making us feel more optimistic and jovial. The Moon enters practical Capricorn today as well, which tempers some of that fiery energy with a grounded approach. After a week of intense soul-searching, Sunday brings motivating fire and determined earth energies to help us get back in motion for the week ahead.
