The astrology of this week highlights the ongoing journey of the Sun in Scorpio, supporting themes of transformation, intensity, and depth. Mercury in Sagittarius brings an optimistic and philosophical shift in our thinking, encouraging us to broaden our perspectives and communicate openly. Venus continues in Sagittarius until November 11, promoting a sense of adventure and freedom in love and financial matters, though with an inclination to overextend or idealize situations.
This week, the First Quarter Moon in Aquarius (November 9) brings a tension between our desire for personal transformation and a need for collective connection. As we approach this lunar phase, we are called to make decisions that will carry our New Moon intentions forward, though we may face obstacles that test our resolve.
Mars in Leo, starting on November 3, injects energy, courage, and a touch of drama into our actions.
