OVERALL: All Signs
Mood: Slow burn, sharp mind.
Mercury’s retrograde begins November 9, and the world feels like it’s rewinding just as Uranus slips back into Taurus. Delays or déjà vu moments are second chances to fix what was rushed. Venus in Scorpio adds emotional depth, Mars in Sagittarius brings restless ambition, and Jupiter retrograde in Cancer (Nov 11) asks: what kind of growth actually nourishes you?
General Outlook: This is a week for edits, not launches. Mercury’s backspin through Sagittarius (and later Scorpio) urges review, reflection, and restraint. Uranus returning to Taurus reopens 2018-24 themes of stability and self-worth, while Venus in Scorpio makes every connection feel more intimate and every decision more meaningful. Mars in Sagittarius injects fire and curiosity, but Mercury reminds you to think before leaping. Jupiter’s retrograde shift expands the inner world, not the outer one. Wisdom grows through stillness, not accumulation.
Lucky Windows:
Nov 9: Mercury retrograde begins → Pause before signing or shipping.
Nov 11: Jupiter retrograde enters Cancer → Reflect on emotional abundance.
Guidance: Retrogrades slow time so you can catch your breath. Review the plans, reread the messages, rebuild your footing. Venus in Scorpio deepens truth; Mars in Sagittarius fuels courage. Combine both and you turn review into revelation.
⛰️ EARTH SIGNS: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Mood: Steady, but sensing shifts.
The skies ask for patience and perspective. Mercury’s retrograde (Nov 9-29) slows plans and conversations, while Uranus revisiting Taurus reopens old lessons about value, security, and what really matters.
General Outlook: Expect a week that feels both familiar and revealing. The Taurus themes from 2018-24 return. Finances, self-worth, and stability get tested, but this time you know the terrain. Mercury’s retrograde through Sagittarius turns attention toward budgets, contracts, and priorities; clarity will take time, so avoid rushing decisions. Venus in Scorpio strengthens your ability to form or repair partnerships built on mutual trust.
♉ Taurus: Uranus’s return in your sign revisits the personal growth you began years ago. You’re not who you were in 2018, act from that wisdom.
♍ Virgo: Mercury’s rewind reminds you that progress isn’t linear. Review plans, re-edit proposals, and reconnect with mentors before moving ahead.
♑ Capricorn: Work intensity rises, but don’t let control crowd out collaboration. Jupiter retrograde helps you find balance between career ambition and emotional fulfillment.
Career & Coins: Mercury’s retrograde favors revisions over launches. Revisit budgets, fine-tune strategy, and clarify expectations before year-end reviews. Uranus in Taurus may shift your financial base, but these adjustments bring long-term stability.
Love & Situationships: Venus in Scorpio makes relationships feel deep, soulful, and revealing. Taurus finds loyalty tested, Virgo learns to express vulnerability, Capricorn rediscovers passion through honest dialogue.
Health & Wellness: Retrogrades often surface tension; the remedy is rhythm. Return to routines that once centered you - sleep, food, exercise, reflection. A walk outdoors or mindful journaling restores calm.
Lucky Vibes:
Nov 9: Mercury retrograde → pause before commitments.
Nov 11: Jupiter retrograde → inner balance meets outer growth.
🌊 WATER SIGNS: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Venus in Scorpio draws you toward privacy and depth, while Mercury’s retrograde in Sagittarius (Nov 9-29) asks you to reexamine your words, routines, and digital habits. The lesson: less chatter, more clarity.
General Outlook: After weeks of outward motion, the focus shifts inward. Mercury’s retrograde might feel like mental static, but it’s actually fine-tuning your frequency, editing how you communicate and where your energy flows. Uranus revisiting Taurus reopens questions about stability, purpose, and long-term networks. The pace slows so truth can catch up.
♊ Gemini: Mercury retrograde directly affects you. Expect delays, mixed messages, or run-ins with people from the past. Don’t panic! It’s a chance to reframe your narrative.

♒ Aquarius: Uranus revisiting Taurus stirs home or career transitions you thought were complete. Trust that this is recalibration, not regression.

Pause launches and instead refine your systems, especially digital tools and communication channels.
