Your horoscope for the week of November 1

Add these dates to your cal:

• Sunday, November 1: Last quarter of the Moon in Leo
• Friday, November 4: Mercury cazimi in Scorpio

While Venus retrograde and Mercury retrograde continue to bring the drama, just as they have in recent weeks, there’s not much going on otherwise. (FYI, Venus retrograde and Mercury retrograde both end on November 13, so you have less than two weeks left now.) You can think of this week as a little break: Don’t do anything too risky or start anything big, because these retrogrades mean it probably won’t work out.

A final quarter Moon in Leo on Sunday gives you the opportunity to let go of something that’s no longer working, especially if it’s a creative project or a demand for attention. Maybe it’s time to stop going viral on TikTok or accept that you’re not going to finish that embroidery project you started years ago.

On Friday we have a Mercury cazimi, which means Mercury retrograde and the Sun meet in close proximity. This “supercharges” Mercury’s powers and can bring a revelation about what your whole Mercury retrograde journey means. This also marks the halfway point of Mercury retrograde – yes, the end is in sight.

You’re growing up, Aries. At the start of the week, the last quarter Moon in Leo helps you see that it’s time to put an end to a creative project that just isn’t fun anymore. So, the resin creations? Then, on Friday, Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio helps you zoom out and see all the ways Mercury Retrograde has changed you: you’re like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis.

Who supports you, Taurus? As the week begins, the last quarter Moon in Leo reveals something from your past that you need to let go of; perhaps a painful memory, a bad habit or a long-held grudge. On Friday, Mercury in Scorpio asks you if your closest relationship, especially with a romantic partner, best friend, or creative collaborator, feels equal to you. If not, now is your chance to communicate it; choose your words carefully.

You’re making progress, Gemini. On Sunday, the last quarter Moon in Leo helps you break a bad communication habit, like leaving your friends on read or ignoring your colleagues’ emails.

Listen to your muses, Cancer. At the start of the week, the Moon’s last quarter in Leo helps you recognize a bad financial habit you need to break, whether it’s impulsive spending that lands you in credit card debt or excessive frugality that causes you to tip 5% instead of 20% (just stay home!). On Friday, Mercury Cazimi offers you a breakthrough in a creative project, helping you move forward after a period of writer’s block.

Look to the past, Leo. On Sunday, the last quarter moon in your sign allows you to shed your old self like snake skin. Watch out, world, the new Lion is here.

Use your voice, Virgo. On Sunday, the last quarter Moon in Leo helps you let go of your limiting beliefs so you can move proudly into the future. Then, on Friday, Mercury in Scorpio helps you name a necessary truth that others need to hear. Speak, Virgo, but choose your words carefully because Mercury is still retrograde.

Money talks, Libra. At the start of the week, the last quarter moon in Leo helps you review your social circle and make the necessary changes.

On Friday, Mercury in Scorpio helps you understand your relationship with money and how your cash flow influences your relationships with others.

It’s all up to you, Scorpio. As your season continues, the cosmic spotlight is on you. First of all, Sunday’s last quarter Moon in Leo helps you understand the next steps you need to take in your career.

Listen carefully, Sagittarius. On Sunday, the last quarter Moon in Leo lights up your favorite thing: travel. Take some time to look through photos from your latest trip or share your favorite vacation memories. Then, on Friday, Mercury Cazimi makes your intuition speak louder than usual. Listen carefully to what he tells you.

You are the one you surround yourself with, Capricorn. Sunday’s last quarter Moon in Leo helps you see how you’re changing so you can make adjustments. Then, on Friday, Mercury cazimi shines on your social circle, giving you the opportunity to say something your friends need to hear — or just tell them how much they mean to you.

Get to work, Aquarius. First, Sunday’s Last Quarter Moon in Leo helps you make needed changes in your closest relationship, which could be a romantic partner or a best friend. Then on Friday, Mercury Cazimi helps you better understand your place in the office so you can fight your way to the top.

Go explore, Pisces. Sunday’s last quarter moon in Leo helps you break a bad habit or start a good one. Whatever you start (or stop) now, the stars will help you keep it in your daily routine. Friday’s Mercury cazimi makes you want to travel. Go ahead and talk about your upcoming trip with the people you want to accompany – just wait to book tickets until Mercury retrograde ends on the 13th.
