After several quieter weeks, the second week of November does a lot for the plot. A new moon, a pileup of Mars and Jupiter and the South Node and the end of both the Venus and Mercury retrogrades—it’s a lot to pay attention to.

On Sunday night or Monday morning (depending on your time zone), the Scorpio new moon resets the Scorpio area of each of our lives. Scorpio is inherently uncomfortable, as it covers the hidden, taboo topics with galumphing gusto. Each of us has had to engage with this vibe as both Venus and Mercury have fastened their focus and their retrogrades in this area.

So the new moon is a moment of reflection on how much we’ve changed over the last couple of months, plus how different our perspectives and ideas are from how they were such a short time ago. There’s also a stark contrast between the Libra new moon last month and the Scorpio new moon this month. Last month Venus was in charge of the moon, but she was haggard, in a sign of duress and in conflict with Mars. The Scorpio new moon is championed by Mars, and he’s empowered and in harmony with Venus, fully capable of facing the conflict ahead, with Venus at his side to smooth things over. The message of the new moon is this: Be assertive to create harmony. Refusing to own your own power just makes a mess.

The Mars-Venus connection goes exact on Monday night, coloring the 24 hours after the new moon with potent harmony.

On Tuesday, the moon enters Sagittarius, the most fortunate place for the moon to be in the current configuration, nimbly stepping between potential pitfalls and speeding along.

On Wednesday, Jupiter collides with the South Node. A paradoxical combination wherein the Leo part of our lives experiences a kind of chemical peel and is resurfaced with surprising speed. Jupiter brings abundance while the South Node sheds old, unhelpful stories; rapid turnover ensues.

The moon moves into practical Capricorn and into its exuberant waxing crescent phase on Thursday.

On Friday (the 13th!), both Venus and Mercury station direct. Two retrogrades end on the same day, pausing their backward momentum and reflecting on all that has transpired. Both planets have gone from their more mature and docile evening star phases into their energetic and vibrant morning star phases. The mind scintillates and the heart swells with desire again.

On Saturday, Mars lines up with the South Node, severing a connection to the past that might weigh us down. It’s a powerful alignment for letting go of old assumptions that keep us from putting our full power into the work we feel called to do.

The week is full of resets, releases of the past and wrapping up the stories of the retrogrades. Onward, to an exuberant lunar cycle.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

From casual connections to deep intimacy, this week connects the fun of the present with existential questions about what it really means to be doing this thing called life. You used to be so comfortable, but your recent experiences have you questioning things on a deep level. What will you do with this newfound depth? That’s the question to play with this week.

This week’s mantra: “integrate”

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

A new moon in your house of marriage has you seeing your partnerships with new eyes, whether they are filial, marital or business. After being a lone actor for so long, you wonder what it might be like to truly trust someone to co-create with you. You are shedding old stories from the past that hold back your capacity to trust. Let all those sad songs fade.

This week’s mantra: “just ask”

Cheeky illustration of identical twins with long dark hair and a statement earrings back-to-back, smirking at each other.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Your health has been a topic lately as you change your relationship to your body and how you use it. Your personal power has been so connected to communication and how you use your voice, it’s time to bring breath and movement together to center yourself. Your ruling planet stations direct, moving you forward in more intentional and embodied ways.

This week’s mantra: “healing”

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

A new moon in your house of children has you adjusting to the changes in the creative areas of your life. There have been many big storylines changing your current family structure and home life, and it’s time to take a step back from work and attend to foundations. Find the words to describe how the balance is shifting, and it will steady you.

This week’s mantra: “make”

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

A new moon in your home sector seeks to renew your sense of foundation and family. Look to who truly shows up for you and claim them as your tribe. You are done with pretending to be what everyone wants or can handle. It’s time to speak your mind and break a few expectations. You do no one a favor when you chain yourself up.

This week’s mantra: “truth”

Virgo (August 23 - September 23)

The new moon in the house of extended family and siblings may have you changing your mind on holiday plans because this year you just can’t. There’s a lot you’re juggling behind the scenes, and others may not understand. Let them struggle to figure it out. You don’t owe everyone a press conference about your own decisions. Let Venus rest in the knowledge of her own morals and refrain from over-explaining.

This week’s mantra: “self-assured”

Libra (September 23 - October 21)

A new moon in your house of finances ushers in the week. Jupiter and Mars help shed old friends and worn-out dreams of the future, so you can approach the world and connection with fresh hopes and renewed vigor. Venus and Mercury wrap up their lesson plans about where purpose and meaning are derived and how your identity interfaces with your job.

This week’s mantra: “let go”

Scorpio (October 22 - November 21)

The new moon in your sign sends you off on a new purpose and life direction, but you’ll have to sacrifice to get there. You are shedding layers of who you thought you had to be, and risking authenticity in how you appear and engage with people around you. Venus wraps up a story about your inner life, while Mercury feels more centered in the knowledge of who you are. You’re at square one again but are a whole new avatar.

This week’s mantra: “regenerate”

Cheeky illustration of a Black woman with purple hair on an orange background. She's in a wearing jean jacket, with a quiver strapped across her back and arrows sticking out.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

There’s a dawn that’s breaking in your dark night of the soul story. Your future is looking different because your need for guarantees is loosening its controlling grip on life. Wiggle with it. There are plenty of people on your side even if you sometimes feel isolated. Trust the connections around you and start a new journey forward.

This week’s mantra: “make a move”

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

The most important thing to do this week is to wipe the ledger clean in past relationships. Make peace with what happened and offer and ask for forgiveness where appropriate. You need to stop carrying the weight of mistakes from the past around. Give the gift to yourself and to others and just move on. To make a more harmonious world, there needs to be a guilt-composting system.

This week’s mantra: “let it go”

Cheeky image of a Black woman with blue hair on a light blue background. She's holding blue water in her palms, which is bubbling up and taking shape as her hair.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

The new moon in your career sector has you looking at work from a new perspective. Your relationships and how they contribute to the meaning or form of your work are symbiotic and adapting to new seasons. Both Venus reinvigorating the major belief systems and Mercury changing your job title station direct and usher in new stories for home and family. It’s a lot of change all at once.

This week’s mantra: “refreshed”

Cheeky illustration of a gender-fluid white person with short-cropped orange hair. They're wearing a light blue halter top as two bright pink koi fish circle their head.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

You are so ready for a new story, and a coherent one at that. There’s been too much chaos lately, so let all that mental clutter and worry settle into a radical simplicity. Pick a mantra and stick to it, letting none of the hullabaloo pull you off course. What you really need to say will find the words this Friday. This weekend, find a sauna and strip down.

This week’s mantra: “put it all down”
