I’m making the weekly forecast free this week, so I could include a note on my prediction for the US election. I was wrong. I thought Kamala Harris would win, based on an eclipse pattern I had seen play out over many years, and I am shocked that she didn’t. At the end of the day though, astrology shows potential and I gave my individual interpretation based on my own knowledge and life experience, which cannot always be 100% correct. I still think Kamala’s chart shows better career growth and public perception than Trump’s in 2025, so that could be interpreted in a different way than winning the presidency. Only time will tell on this one, and let’s see what happens with this upcoming Mars retrograde. I stand by everything else I wrote in the election article, especially when it comes to the upcoming Saturn-Neptune conjunction, Uranus in Gemini, and Pluto in Aquarius transits.
That being said, this experience was a big learning lesson for me in realizing where my skills and interests lie as an astrologer. I am no longer going to make predictions on the astrology of world events or politics; it’s way too much pressure and it clearly isn’t my area of expertise. I’m going to leave it to the astrologers who have a true passion for that niche - I highly recommend The Astrology Podcast’s monthly forecast episodes. Instead, what has always interested me the most about astrology is how it can be used as an everyday tool for greater self acceptance, navigating career and relationships, and understanding the timing of your life. Those are the areas I get the most excited to speak on, so I’m sticking with that from now on. Thank you for your continued support of my work and this newsletter. Now, let’s get into the breakdown for the week ahead…
It’s a weird transitional time period right now. At least, that’s how I’m viewing the current astrology. Mercury and Mars retrogrades are coming up once Sagittarius season starts, so whatever you think you want to be doing now isn’t necessarily what you will be doing in a few months. And if you are confused about what you need to be putting energy towards at the moment, that is to be expected too. I’m certainly feeling that way myself, but I know that by April/May 2025 I will be in a different head space.
This week we are also building to a full moon in Taurus that’s happening on Friday the 15th, so there may be important realizations that are made, or you could be much busier over the next few days. You might be bringing projects to completion, hearing back about opportunities, and overall seeing things come together.
Monday, November 11
We are starting the week off with the moon in Pisces all day
I see Monday as being more chill and relaxed - the moon is trining the sun, squaring Jupiter, and then coming up on a conjunction with Neptune
Definitely a slower day, or you might be more in your emotions
May be harder to stick to a structured schedule
Go easy on yourself, allow yourself to go with the flow, don’t try to schedule a ton of work if possible
Maybe lean into things like getting outside, journaling, connecting with your intuition, doing something that feels a bit more spiritual
Also happening on Monday is that Venus is moving into Capricorn until December 7
So over the next month, you may want to put greater focus on your long term goals and career related matters
You might be finding ways to bring creativity into work projects too
Or you’re actually enjoying sticking to a schedule and following more of a routine
Leaning into being productive and putting work first for a few weeks
Also honoring commitments in relationships - so making set plans with friends and sticking by them, or if you’re dating someone, maybe needing to know where you stand with that person.
And when it comes to money, you may want to be more practical with your spending, and you could be putting careful thought into purchases and be smarter when it comes to finances
Tuesday, November 12
Tuesday is much higher energy than Monday
The moon moves out of Pisces and into Aries right around 1:30am EST
So we’re waking up with the moon in Aries, it is also trining Mars in Leo
Ready to tackle the day
Noticeably busier
More of an action oriented day overall
Use this day to get ahead at work
Maybe turn to exercise too to get out any pent up energy
Other Aries moon keywords to keep in mind over the next few days
Being more direct with people
Actually initiating something, not just sitting around talking about it
Being a bit impatient or impulsive though
Or easily irritated
Also on Tuesday, Mercury in Sagittarius is squaring Saturn in Pisces
Could be a mentally demanding task that comes up
This transits requires a lot of focus and attention to detail
There may be tedious little tasks to get through too
Or you’re having to work on your communication skills and figure out the best way to translate your ideas to other people
Wednesday, November 13
Moon is still in Aries all day
So again, another day that’s good for taking action
We’re also super close to the full moon in Taurus, so the second half of this work week will be the busiest
The moon will be conjunct Chiron throughout Wednesday morning EST though, so there could be insecurities that come up, or you may encounter a situation that brings up uncomfortable emotions
Or there’s slight frustration with something happening
If you are emotional or frustrated about something, you may feel urged to improve upon certain aspects of yoursef
But also looking at the bigger picture or learning lesson there, since the moon will also be connecting with Jupiter
Overall, Wednesday is another good day for tending to work, being more “on”
Also, as we get closer to the full moon, the next few days are great for forming connections in general
you might be busier with social activities or dating
the full moon is the time of the month where you’re growing closer to people
Thursday, November 14
Right around 2am on Thursday morning, the moon moves into Taurus
Officially in full moon territory
The moon will be doing a lot throughout Thursday morning EST (later in the day for time zones ahead)
Trining Venus in Capricorn
But squaring Mars in Leo
So you may be more emotionally reactive
Or you’re just putting a lot of energy into work or other responsibilities
Your schedule could be quite demanding on Thursday
Because of that trine with Venus though, Thursday could be good for one-on-one meetups with people or collaborating at work
You may also find that you’re wrapping up a lot of what you’ve been working on recently, or you’re hearing news back about an opportunity
You might be reflecting on what you want to release from your life or change in any way too - you’re being made aware of where you need to make adjustments
Friday, November 15
And that brings us to Friday - the day of the full moon in Taurus
The full moon won’t go exact until right around 5pm EST on Friday evening, so the whole day is spend in the leadup to it
if you’re on the east coast of America, the moon will be 100% full when it rises at sunset on Friday, so try to get outside and spot it!
Definitely a busier Friday than usual
May be rushing to wrap up work
Or you’re involved in calls or meetings with people
The full moon is happening at 24 degrees of Taurus, and it’s in close alignment with Uranus in Taurus
People with late fixed sign placements (20-29 degrees) will feel the effects of this full moon the most
So blending the planet affected with the full moon themes of coming full circle, making realizations, or releasing
For everyone though - check the house in your chart ruled by Taurus, that’s where all of the action is taking place. I went over this in the Scorpio season monthly horoscopes too for each rising sign, so you may want to revisit those.
And because of the full moon’s connection with Uranus, there could be unexpected shifts or news that pop ups in that Taurus ruled house of your chart
Or maybe you’re internally feeling the need to shake things up there
Not wanting to feel held back or restricted in that part of your life
could be unexpected changes that take place too
This is also the first full moon in Taurus we’ve had since 2020 that hasn’t been a lunar eclipse - in Scorpio season 2021, 2022 and 2023, the full moon in Taurus was a lunar eclipse
So we’re coming out of a period of having this area of your life (signified by the Taurus ruled house in your chart) go through significant changes
This full moon is definitely more low key than those eclipses
Maybe reflect on how much has transformed in that part of your life over the last three years, and now that things may feel a bit more stable, how do you now want to proceed moving forward
The ruling planet of the full moon is Venus - Venus is currently in Capricorn.
So tying the themes of that Capricorn ruled house in your chart back to the full moon too
Nice that the full moon and Venus are both in the same element of earth
An easy flow between those two parts of your chart
For fire sign risings - work related
Air sign risings - mental health / tending to personal life
Water sign risings - relationship related
Earth sign risings - identity, hobbies, interests
Friday for the most part may feel a bit unsettling, maybe you’re feeling anxious or unable to fully relax
Once we get past the time of the exact full moon around 5pm EST, you may feel a sense of relief, like there’s not as much inner tension building
Thank god, we can enjoy the rest of our weekend more calmly
On the same day of this full moon, we also have Saturn stationing direct in Pisces
Saturn has been retrograde since the end of June - during Cancer season
So now it may feel like you can move ahead again in the Pisces ruled house of your chart - things may have felt slow or frustrating there the last several months. Again, revisit the Scorpio season monthly horoscopes for further insight into what this Saturn station means for you.
You may be more sure of what you want to put energy into next, and how you can keep growing structures that will serve you in the long term.
Saturday, November 16
The moon moves into Gemini a little after 2am EST, so all day on Saturday we have the moon in this social air sign
We are still coming off of the full moon energy too, so Saturday and Sunday are good days for being out and about
May naturally have more social plans come up
Could also want to do some type of day trip or try out a fun activity
Exploring a new area of your city
Gemini moon loves variety and staying stimulated, so get out of the house and plan something
I love the vibes of this weekend so much - I expect it to feel more lighthearted and fun, which is much needed right now.
The Sun is also building to an exact opposition with Uranus - so checking the Scorpio/Taurus ruled houses of your chart - how are you seeing exciting shifts or fast paced changes happen in these two areas of your life
Sunday, November 17
The moon is still in Gemini all day, but is now connecting with both Mercury and Jupiter
Similar energy from Saturday of wanting to try out a new experience or do something a bit more social
But also a good day for education related activities or engaging your mind in a productive way
Brainstorming ideas
Writing
Taking a little workshop or class
Reading in general
Downside might be that there’s so much going on at once, or you may find it hard to mentally relax
Literally every time a Gemini moon comes around, my mind is too activem making it harder to unwind or fall asleep
Great for generating content ideas though!
Okay, that’s it for this week. I hope everyone has a good next few days!
