Weekly Overview
11.5-11.12.25
Astrology of this week comes with some pretty heavy energies, starting off with the Full Moon in Taurus on the 5th which includes the impact of Mars's opposition to Uranus, as well as an exact Venus square to Pluto. As you navigate sticky and tricky interpersonal dynamics make sure that you are advocating for what you value and honoring those values with care. And, on the 9th Mercury goes retrograde (agaiiiiin) and will stay that way until the 29th. As always, you can learn about the details by watching or listening to the latest episode of my astrology show, Ghost of a Podcast, here or wherever podcasts are heard.

This is a great week to set things in motion because you are likely to have a great deal of clarity after a period of searching. That said, it's important that you take a collaborative approach and truly listen to what other people are saying about how they're feeling, where they're at, and what will or won't work for them. Otherwise, you may not be really fixing your problems as much as creating new ones for yourself, Aries.
The Full Moon in your sign on the 5th is meant to stir your emotional pot, but that doesn't make it particularly fun. This is a powerful time for you to let go of the habits and perhaps even convictions that you have been holding onto well past their usefulness. There is the pain of breaking and then the pain of healing – they both hurt just as much, but one leaves you stuck and the other one helps you to get free.
You know what isn't working for you and where your frustrations lie. The problem is you are stuck in an obsessive fixation cycle instead of a constructive one. Don't let your anxieties win. Instead of explaining, narrating, or defending your position, strive to identify your values and embolden yourself to live by and embody them this week, Twin Star.
It's so affirming to have people who believe in you, but genuinely nothing replaces the value of believing in yourself, Moonchild. This week, your willingness to honor your feelings and needs is being tested, and no amount of support from others will fix your attitude. How much you believe in yourself is a project that only you can honor and complete, so challenge yourself to make self-care your mission.
When you look outside of yourself for answers instead of turning within, it's hard to assess what you find in an authentic and aligned way. This week the astrology is pushing you to cultivate greater balance between how you navigate your emotions and your actions. It's not realistic to always be checking in with yourself and making values-based choices, but it is a good direction to be pointing yourself in, Leo.
You're likely to be dealing with more than one frustration this week and things are likely to be pretty out of your hands. If you can't control or direct your situation, then you are left with your attitude. Do your best to take on an honest attitude of abundance so that you may understand the potential inherent in both yourself and your circumstances this week, Virgo.
In order to open yourself up to something new, you must be willing to let go of something old. While that's not necessarily always true, this week your old and outdated emotional patterns or coping mechanisms simply need to go. Embody your emotional truth as a practice instead of a theory, Libra, even if that puts you into unchartered territory.
It's important that you nurture your goals this week. This isn't the time for pushing things to the next level as much as it is for feeding and caring for the level that you're at. You can explore possibilities, be inquisitive, try out new approaches, but resist the urge to reap benefits or come to hard and fast conclusions. Support what you care about as an act of self-love, Scorpio.
The frustration that you feel is real, and your feelings are more than valid. But as the saying goes, "what you resist shall persist". In other words, actively engaging in a struggle with an idea or a person can sometimes be the very thing that binds you to it. Practice having healthy boundaries over trying to explain or enforce your perspective this week, Sagittarius.
Your assignment this week is to hang out with your vulnerable feelings. It would be tempting to focus on what other people are or aren't doing and why, but that's not a particularly wise approach. Instead, strive to better understand yourself and the emotions and assumptions that are underpinning your responses. In the big picture, how well you know yourself is ultimately one of the most important things because it lays the foundation for how you relate to others.
When you are stressed or scared is when it's easiest for you to get roped into disputes with others that only waste your precious energies. The best way to navigate this week’s astrology is by developing skills to cope with anxious thoughts and feelings. You may not have control, but you do have agency. How you exercise it is what will ultimately define you, Aquarius.
This week you may feel pressured to be decisive before you're actually ready to be. You don't have enough information, or if you do, you likely haven't fully processed it yet. This will make it hard to have the clarity necessary to have healthy boundaries. So let that be your boundary! If you need more time or more information, honor that instead of letting people or circumstances bully you, Pisces.
