Weekly Horoscopes November 12-18
Polish your crystal balls, astro babes. This week’s cosmic action is brought to you by Venus direct in Libra, Mars entering Pisces, and Mercury stationing retrograde in Sagittarius. These three rainbowed astro dream queens ask us to fight for our right to liberate our longings, and to use clarity and compassion as our courageous secret weapons.
Powerhouse Mars is sometimes less than comfy in the slip and slide sensations of Pisces, but this is exactly what we’ve been training for during this Summer’s Mars retrograde cycle. Just wait for it, whispers Pisces, and it will change like a mood ring. This transit reminds us that when we commit to riding out both the highs and lows of our feelings, we can weather any storm.
Intensified by Mercury going retro in Sag, this is overhaul time for old beliefs. Everything you thought you knew can feel deliciously different. And as Venus stations direct in her favorite castle of two-to-tango Libra, we’re facing up to each other with both sweetness and clear sight. It’s an anti-isolation week for reaching out to one another without fear, and letting our collisions change us. So grab a hand and start to sway. It takes every one of us to make a thing go right...

Magic Words: Championing my tenderness is an act of courage.
Power Moves: This season has been all about collapsing the divide between your hardcore and your softcore, Scorpio. And this week finds you ready to defend these courageous acts of self-directed compassion. Let yourself be the hero of your own epic tale. Give yourself a special costume for fighting your own demons. Let it be light and let it be cartoonish, and remember that you have every right to the Disney fairytale endings that you might try to push away out of cynicism. Soften your cynicism at every turn, Scorpio. You deserve wings and slippers and peachy pink sunsets. Let hoping for them remind you that you have every right to be receive them.

Magic Words: Clarity comes from celebrating strangeness.
Power Moves: You’re in the chemistry lab in outer space this week, Sag. Venus direct is inviting to you to champion your right to weirdness and to thought processes and idea engines that the rest of us just aren’t ready to understand. Let it be strange, Sag. And let your willingness to go beyond the edges of the container remind you of your distinctive voice and vision. With Mercury traveling retro through your sign, this is a time to channel inner whispers. Pretend that your life is a lakeside walkabout at dusk right now, and let your imagination run wild as shapes shift and night creatures sound calls that only you can translate.

Magic Words: Exfoliating emo patterns has never felt so glorious.
Power Moves: It’s a major week for melting down the last of some old metals, Capricorn, as Venus’ direct station invites you to speak exactly what you desire into being, and to slough off any shame about sharing these wants. A pattern has been in the process of leaving you, Cappy, and now you are also ready to leave it. When snakes shed, it’s because they are already growing beyond their skin. What no longer fits? What new ensemble is already feeling so much more luxurious? Slip in, Cappy, and remember that you absolutely deserve this feeling of easeful expansion.

Magic Words: There are no wrong turns on the wheel of fortune.
Power Moves: Step right up, Aquarius. It’s a carnivalesque week for letting shapes shift and colors melt, as you celebrate the unfolding without having to add it up. With Venus stationing direct in your arena of untamable expansion, you are being invited to be exactly where you are and to celebrate the hell out of it right here, right now. Look at your landscape. Everything you’ve built with your hands. The people who love you, ride or die. What would be possible if you could believe that absolutely everything was aligned- no mistakes? Let this be your credo.

Magic Words: My right to rage brings on the release.
Power Moves: As the zodiac’s sea anemone, you reach out to embrace it all, Pisces. But when is the last time you embraced rightful rage? There’s a process of ripping off the bandage available to you this week, that will liberate you from emotional exhaustion, and clarify where you can release some of your burden and be bolstered by those around you. Consider who gets to see your fullest range of expression. Who can stand the heat in your kitchen? These are your fellow feasters, Pisces. Don’t be afraid to gift them your most intense flavors, no matter the fall out.

Magic Words: My deep end is worthy of my deepest attention.
Power Moves: Since its retrograde journey began, Venus’ trip through the underworld has taught you a lot about your subtlest inner needs that aren’t always ready to be actioned. With her direct station this week, you are invited to skinny dip back into that cove you’ve courageously explored and bring some of those pearlies to the surface. What clarity can come out onto the shore and back in the sun to be shared? What are you ready to speak into being? You are a fighter til the end, Aries. Fight for those feelings this week, and let every last one of them light you up like a jellyfish.

Magic Words: When I turn it loose to what I cannot see, my life feels like liquid gold.
Power Moves: You can effort less this week, Taurus, and truly begin to sink into the luxe sheets of effortlessness. When we interrupt the endless cycles of action, and start partnering with what we cannot see, we champion for our simple right to just feel good. Where can you give it up and turn it loose to a power beyond yourself right now, Taurus? Tap into whatever your version of “spirit” is, even if it looks nothing like the rest of the world’s altars of belief. Let this sanctuary be made more from sparkles, and less from sweat.

Magic Words: Loosening the locks liberates my life force.
Power Moves: With Venus stationing direct in your tropical fruit zone of exposure and trust, you’re beckoned to undo some of the laces on your heart his week, Gemstone. What doors are you policing without even knowing why? Where has the fear of getting burnt again started to put out your creative, exuberant fires? You don’t need to break any walls down by force, but just notice where you might softly let a little light in. You are dilating and opening slowly like a bloom, Gemini. Just turn your face to the Sun and let the rest unfold.

Magic Words: Shedding skins helps me show up for love.
Power Moves: Your relationship to the past is complex to the say the least, Cancer. But this week’s station of Venus direct is here to teach you that nothing is really lost, just integrated. Stepping into new roles isn’t an all-or-nothing proposition, complete with burned bridges and obscured breadcrumb trails back home. You carry yourself and your entire experiential life with you wherever you go, Little Mermaid. Breaking a pattern can feel like a hot air balloon ride all the way up to a different vantage point. Your boldness and willingness to fly will lift those you love up to your level.

Magic Words: I embrace the sheer delight of the shifting light.
Power Moves: It’s a call and response week for you, Leo, as Venus direct ignites your ability to match the moment, and meet whatever is here for you, clad in the appropriate outerwear. So often, you feel like you have to exhaust yourself by dazzling the world over and over again, treating each minute like an all-or-nothing competition where you might be dethroned. What if you trusted, even for a second, in the notion that whatever true colors you’re shining are exactly what we need. Let yourself be a compassionate chameleon this week, Leo, showing up in the perfect shade without even having to plan for it.

Magic Words: What I lust after is already within me.
Power Moves: It’s a delicious dive into desire for you this week, Virgo, as Venus’ direct station in your sector of receiving reminds you that anything you want, you’ve already got. Start by exploring your simple tastes. Your favorite meal wants to be eaten by you. Your favorite color longs to be worn. Let this process carry out into your relationships. That trait you’re obsessed with in someone else is also yours, coming into vibrancy through reflection. What if you committed to the radical belief that anything you think of as “outside” is actually just an inner treasure box, waiting to be unlocked?

Magic Words: Choosing who and what to love is an act of wisdom.
Power Moves: With Venus stationing direct in your sign this week, Libra, it’s time to apply all that you’ve learned about lust, love, and longing, and to set the bar as high as you desire. No more slapping a smile on your face while contrary emotions seethe beneath the surface. No more leaving the doors to your precious castle sloppily unlocked, as you continue to expend energy on people and projects that don’t match this preciousness. Seal up the container, choose your collaborators with wisdom, and remember that drawing lines around your heart can be a daring act of allegiance to what truly makes it beat.
