Weekly Horoscopes November 26-December 2
Sink your teeth into pure, hot-blooded human nature, astro babes. Just when you thought we were out of the woods, this week’s cosmic magic comes courtesy of Scorpio, as Mercury retrograde moves backward into the sign of shadowy detective work, and Venus direct joins it for a second hit of raw romance.
Connected to the 7 of Cups in the Tarot, a card of bone deep desire and clarifying what we really, really want, Venus in Scorpio goes harder and stronger for what she loves than any other sign placement. And as she meets up with consciousness expander Mercury, we’re asked to make our so-called “madness” our medicine, reminding ourselves that no thought, impulse, or wish is inherently wrong or shameful.
Collectively, it’s an invitation to own our obsessions, and treat them like rocket fuel for the missions that matter. Interrogate any core beliefs that have been keeping you small, and liberate what’s been lurking in your secret diary. You have every right to stalk the trail of your glow-in-the-dark urges all the way into the sunlight...

Magic Words: Unmasking my fears lets me show up in fullness.
Power Moves: What’s been lurking in the back of the closet, or under the covers, Sag? This is a prime week to smoke it out, as Scorpionic magic takes you back to the future. Maybe you’re afraid of confronting these ghosts, worrying that you’ll get pulled under by their tidal force. But if you consider that life isn’t linear, and that there’s really no forwards or backwards, you’ll liberate yourself from the dread of falling behind or losing sight of the path. Face up to your fears with softness and curiosity, Sag, and watch the demons dance their way undone.

Magic Words: Sharing the soft spots grants me shimmering perspective.
Power Moves: It’s a week for noticing your tender, “painful” places and rebranding them as sweet gifts of aliveness and presence. Letting these places live, rather than shutting them out, is your ticket to drawing closer to those around you. Start small, with a partner or friend, or even someone who challenges you. What emotions do you find yourself critiquing? Where do you think they should just “get over it.” It’s a week to let them, and yourself by association, get under and alongside whatever “it” is, Cappy. And to let this expansive emotionalism widen your possibilities for connection.

Magic Words: Building an empire takes every precious brick.
Power Moves: The speed of your own evolution is at stake this week, Aquarius, as Scorpionic pacing reminds you that not everything can be electrified in an instant. Notice what this sense of time warp might bring up in you. Fears around scarcity, or not being the one to claim the rights to an idea, project, or romantic partner. Maybe fears about stillness, and the space that awaits you beyond the land of “doing.” Start to swap some of these beliefs for a deeper trust in right timing and the slow, geologically paced shifts under the surface of your skin. You’ve got lifetimes awaiting you, sweet one.

Magic Words: Soul work is the only work worth my sweat.
Power Moves: As a daydream believer, you may have been made to feel that your fantasy life is only pure escapism, and that you should learn to swap out your stardust for “real” world sawdust. But this week’s planetary movements are here to remind you that the only work worth engaging in is the work that seamlessly syncs up with your very soul. Find your “flow” state, Pisces, whatever it is. Maybe it looks crazy to the outside world, or like a so-called waste of time. Trust that recategorizing society’s notions of wasted time is your very key to immortality right now.

Magic Words: Relishing the retreat turns my cave into a castle.
Power Moves: As Scorpio planets challenge your above-ground sense of embattlement, it’s a perfect week for relishing the release in a little retreat. Lay down your weapons, Aries, and practice building a sanctuary inside of yourself, no matter the situation. This can start with listening before you speak, and with breathing into emotions and letting them take their own course without having to direct them. Notice your knee-jerks, and know that there are so many diamonds to be mined in the precious pauses. There are whole worlds awaiting you in the gap between impulse and action. Explore them willingly.

Magic Words: Leading with heart disarms those I love.
Power Moves: What have you learned after all your experiential coursework in human emotion, Taurus? In particular, spend some time exploring moments when you’ve opened fully in the presence of another. What if you could believe that every past act of opening, no matter the relationship “result,” was a glittering jewel for your own personal box of velvet-lined expansion? This week, commit to this credo with an act of “going first.” Apologize first. Share your heart first. Risk that kind of stripped down, soft-lit loving. Let baring it all be a badge of honor.

Magic Words: Getting a little bit uncomfy reminds me I’m alive.
Power Moves: Consider the contours of your shell this week, Gemstone. What roles are you continuing to repeat on autopilot that are way past their shelf life? What energetic outfits are hanging in your closet, gathering dust, or clinging tightly to your body and not fully permitting you to move towards snakeskin evolution? As the dust from last week’s Full Moon in your sign settles, Scorpio planets reminds you that it’s time for peeking out just beyond the usual parameters, and exercising those risky magic muscles. Turn your energy and attention towards anything that feels like a grow light.

Magic Words: Stepping out from solitude sparks my creativity.
Power Moves: While there can certainly be times for inner shellabration, Little Mermaid, this week asks for you to move towards a little more emo exposure. With Venus directly tracking through fellow water sign, Scorpio, and a sweet meet and greet between the North Node in your sign, and Neptune in Pisces, you can actually relish riding on your touchy feelies without having to make every act of sharing an embattled plea for your emotions’ relevance. What if these sensations were the seeds of a new creative project or collaboration instead? Dip into the paintbox without hesitation.

Magic Words: Sifting through my inner world builds outer muscle.
Power Moves: Make like honey this week, Glitter Kitten, and consider the sensations you truly let yourself savor. This isn’t about codifying feelings or categorizing them into good/bad, but about reminding yourself that you have the right to ruminate. To really mull over your life experiences and the feelings they spark, and to glean vitality by letting them fill you up. Sit with whatever’s arising right now. Let it flood your body with judgement or critique. Anything that’s arising is a balm that’s lubing up your ability to hold more, and to let yourself be more.

Magic Words: Opening my rose petals is an act of courage.
Power Moves: What’s making you blossom open right now, Virgo? Whatever it is, treat it like precious flower food and drink it down. The art of receiving is bold, courageous work, and it can start super simple. Receiving a compliment without immediately explaining why you don’t deserve it. Letting someone pull out a chair or pay for a meal. There are packages and presents all around you, just awaiting you to undo the string. Don’t let any fears that they’re not emblazoned with your name and absolutely meant for you keep you from tearing that paper right off.

Magic Words: Hope is a fierce, four-letter word.
Power Moves: It’s a week for owning your wishes and dreams completely, Libra, and for bellying up to the bar of your beastliness. What urge have you been pushing out of sight, convinced it’s not for public consumption? What romantic ideal do you think you have to toss out because someone or something is saying you should settle? Sheer nonsense, Libra. You deserve fluffy pink clouds and all the cakes. Or whatever palette and flavors turn you on. Remember that your hope is a banner declaring your right to be here on earth. Wave it wildly.

Magic Words: What exists beyond my control is here to catch me.
Power Moves: You’re in a lifelong mastery with the concept of control, Scorpio, as you alternately grip and release to usher in snakeskin transformations. With Venus and Mercury re-entering your sign, it’s high time for some mixing and mingling with everything that exists beyond your ability to consciously burn it to the ground or forcibly raise it from the dead. These planets want to remind you about all of the silky subtle, winged ways that your life is fighting on your behalf, from behind the scenes. Let them do their work without having to lift a finger.
