Weekly Horoscopes November 5-11
Break out the extra spicy nachos, astro babes. This week’s deep sea cosmic bash is brought to you by the jalapeño-infused Scorpio New Moon, complete with a cooling side of Cancer, and a smoky hit of Sagittarius, and Aries, as the North Node, Jupiter, and Uranus shake us awake to the destiny that awaits us.
The message, astro babes, is that when we surrender to the natural psychological cycles of life and death that surround us, we can move with the rhythm of the changes that already want to live through us, without railing against them. Scorpio and Cancer’s watery depths pull us out of our private lairs to accept whatever flavor of emotion is being served up. And Sag and Aries firepower asks us to show up for our lives completely, staking a claim to the full-throttle experience, no matter what.
On any “normal” plane of existence, fire and water can’t share the stage, one putting the other out. But with a dose of magic, they both can live, reminding us that when we break the container and are willing to hand over the wheel to a force we can’t yet see, we are capable of so much more than we could ever imagine. So crank open those clamshells and let your yearnings learn how to swim. This life is on your side...

Magic Words: My sanctuary is built of both feathers and steel.
Power Moves: This is your Moon, sweet Scorpio. And it represents a powerful, masterful portal into making peace with your own nature, in all its carnal complexity. Any divisions in your soul around the hardcore and the softcore, the acceptable and the unacceptable, are built for collapsing right now. You are becoming integral. You are becoming whole. And you are doing so in solitude, answering to no external force or regulation. Let every part of yourself live on this Moon. Especially the parts you’ve pushed far under the bed.

Magic Words: I’m only human, of flesh and blood.
Power Moves: With Jupiter shifting into your sign this week for a year-long sojourn, the party of consciousness expanding is about to turn up. Before you get pulled across the open plains, take a curious look into your luggage, Sag. What beliefs and patterns are still keeping you feeling anxious and small? What are the greatest hits of neural pathways you travel to when you get super contracted and lose your trust? Be kind to these touchy places this week, Sag. You are learning to let them live so they can move on and live out their lives elsewhere.

Magic Words: All ends with beginnings, and I’m ready to start again.
Power Moves: This is a week for closure, Cappy. A kind of apartment cleanout walkthrough that can feel bittersweet. Consider what needs boxing up right now and be willing to lovingly place outmoded habits and patterns into that brown paper. Scorpio energy asks for you to radically clear, and the North Node’s entry into your “opposite” sign of Cancer wants you to do so with loving attention to your most profound emotions. How can you really care take yourself through any changes that are occuring? Build a blanket fort in the back of the moving truck.

Magic Words: Magic unfolds when I get out of the way.
Power Moves: You’re often a starship strategist Aquarius. Planning, executing, and upgrading in order to make the world move more seamlessly. But this week’s cosmic energies are asking you to step down and step aside from this position, and to let the primal rhythms of your life that have already been unleashed, simply do their work. How can you stay low to the ground, on all fours, just sniffing around and savoring what you find, without having to worry about making the wind blow? Surrender yourself to whatever weather patterns are here and dance in the pouring rain, astro babe.

Magic Words: Receiving lusciousness liberates my lifeforce.
Power Moves: As you prep for next week’s entry of powerhouse Mars into your sign, you are really cleaning the pipes on any poorly maintained boundaries, and unequal partnerships. Where does your penchant for going overboard to help others before putting on your own mask stem from? Get curious about this, Pisces. Part of it is certainly your unparalleled altruism. And other parts may arise from your belief that you don’t deserve the luscious snacks that the earth wants to give you. Lie back, water babe, and let the tide carry in all the seafood specials that you deserve.

Magic Words: Having hope is my most badass belief.
Power Moves: This has been quite the year for you, Aries, with hits from outer planets in Capricorn schooling you in reality, and the Summer’s Mars retro forcing you to slow your roll. This New Moon wants you to refind fierceness and fiery impulse inside of a little concept called hope. You may write this off as soft. You may believe the time for hoping and dreaming is past. It’s not Aries. More than any other sign, you understand how to find the smallest glint and glimmer on an otherwise pitch black horizon. Let this sliver be your everything, Aries.

Magic Words: Creative obsessions lead me to my heartland.
Power Moves: The word obsession often gets a bad rep, conjuring boxed in definitions of “healthy” and “toxic.” This week’s Scorpio medicine is asking you to let yourself get a little carried away, Taurus. Maybe it’s the intensity of a cause that you feel in your blood. Or declaring a messy emotion to someone that’s been brewing beneath the surface for a long time. This process of getting dirty to come clean will remind you that you don’t have to lock it all down and keep it all together. You are a living, breathing creature, Taurus. And you deserve to have an appetite.

Magic Words: I am ready to champion my own carnal cause.
Power Moves: How can you be a warrior for your own physical contours, Gemini? This week’s New Moon wants you to seize the retreat that’s necessary for deep communion with your body. Listen in to the subtlest message tucked underneath of your appetites. That sudden craving for beets might be connected to the principle of iron more broadly in your life: a desire for empowerment and embattlement. Treat your daily desires like fortune cookies, discovering profound meaning in which color you choose to wear, or scent you’d like in the bath. These are love notes from your body to your consciousness, telling you exactly what supports you need to empower you in the world.

Magic Words: I am ready to release what’s already on its way out.
Power Moves: This Scorpio Moon, coupled with the powerful entry of the North Node into your sign, signals a leveling up in your relationship to emotional gripping. What are you clinging to right now that is asking instead for your willingness to let it shift form? Just notice how it feels to grip in your body and spirit, and how it could be so much more easeful to dance with the wind and the shifting tides instead. You are changing form. You are sloughing off old skin and shells to reveal something even softer beneath. Your new softness deserves a place at the table. Exfoliate, astro babe.

Magic Words: What I am falling hard for is a part of me.
Power Moves: It’s a mirrorball week for you, Leo, as the Scorpio New Moon asks you to collide with others, complete with both loving and longing. Look outside to partners, friends, sparkly people you admire, even a flower on the street or an outfit in the window. Your ability to look on these things with passionate attention is an extension of the glow that emanates within. You are the lover you’re looking to dance with. The outfit you think you need to buy is actually already your second skin. Romance the world, Leo. Bat your eyelashes at a cute tree, hug a lamppost, and remember that this world is hugging you back.

Magic Words: Frictional learning gives birth to new shapes.
Power Moves: This week wants you to spill over the walls like a bougainvillea plant on the LA freeway, Virgo. To dance inside a small room and brush up against the sides with muscle and sweat. Everything worth sinking our teeth into is born through a bit of mess, Virgo. Rather than trying to flatten the contours, let the topography be bumpy. This turbulence is teaching you what’s ready to be broken down and reshaped. And it’s reminding you that you can always stand in the center of the storm, channeling the electricity like the witch you are. Let your hair and spirit run wild.

Magic Words: My sensuality is a source of strength.
Power Moves: What does the word lust mean to you, Libra? Get a mental, or better yet, physical, picture of this in your mind and body. What makes you blush? What makes your blood heat up with electrical excitement? This doesn’t have to be about sexuality or partnership at all. This is about your right to become animated by lifeforce, and to not apologize for cravings, pleasures, desires. New Moons are made for initiations, turnarounds, and invigorating starts. Start with your senses, dear Libra, and give yourself exactly what feels damn fine.
