Your Horoscope for the Week of November 9

Here we go again! It’s not deja vu, it's Mercury Retrograde! The planetary backspin commences on November 9 and lasts until November 29. This time, Mercury will moonwalk from Sagittarius to Scorpio, getting deep with our emotional side. It is an opportunity for us to reconnect with people from the past, opting to make up with those we might have done dirty (and vice versa).

Lucky you—Jupiter begins its retrograde journey in Cancer on November 11, asking us to make safe bets in life. We aren't ready to gamble outside our comfort zone, which means that we will be focusing on endeavors that we know we can excel in.

On November 12, Mercury Retrograde and Mars form a conjunction in Sagittarius, making us act out to be heard. Try to be compassionate and not too austere. Before we begin to argue, check in with your higher mind and ask, “What are you fighting for?”

You might feel justified in a situation, since the karmic scales are tilted in your favor. However, a few days later, you'll suffer from remorse. The reason is that revenge is sweet for a hot minute, but leaves a bitter taste in your mouth due to your conscience taking hold.

Although you may want to lean into your intuition to get to the bottom of matters, it could be faulty at the moment from Mercury's backward journey. Before addressing others, make sure you have tangible proof and reasons. A pragmatic approach to information carries you through the next few weeks.

They say “time heals all wounds,” but that doesn’t mean you must forgive and forget easily. You're not one to hold a grudge, but past issues cause you to be re-triggered. A simple comment can push you into a spiral, so surround yourself with pals who aren't playing these games.

There is a lot brewing beneath the surface. Your tender heart is breaking due to personal matters, making it hard to put on a brave face. Being vulnerable and sharing your feelings with others is okay. Consider doing so when you are ready. Your crew is here to help.

You may be happy on your high horse, but know that it could be moments until you're knocked down a peg. Don't gloat too soon about your wins because a reversal of fortune could happen, especially since Mercury Retrograde is in motion, switching things up so we can reimagine matters.

You are at the center of arguments between some of your friends; it's not that you want to get involved, but you're being forced to be the middle person. Try to detach (until they make amends) to avoid getting deeper into the situation that has nothing to do with you.

It's opposite week, Libra. Rather than taking a passive and demure approach, speak up and don't hold back. The peeps in your orb aren't ready to hear you yell in defiance, making them surprised by your behavior. If that’s what it takes to get things moving, so be it!

Everyone has a million opinions about what you should do, but only you know what's right for you. To drain out the noise surrounding you, take a few deep breaths in and out. The less you stress and detach from all of the negativity, the better your week will be.

An ex is haunting your dreams, making you think of them 24/7. If you're dying to reconnect, send them a friendly message asking to catch up over the phone or get a coffee. Words of wisdom: Do not slip back into old patterns and dynamics. Show them how you've grown.

Finding a safe emotional space will be hard since you feel your besties aren't on your side and listening to you. Have a heart-to-heart with them before you huff and puff about this current dynamic. Pretty soon, they will see the error of their ways and offer you more TLC.

If you feel excluded by your squad, let them know by asking to be invited to events and dinners. You don't have to whine, complain, or be avoidant; just say you'd like to be a part of the fun. You can totally remind them that you're just a text away.

If it feels as though your world is crumbling, you are not wrong to have these emotions. Just know that when one professional door closes, another one opens, and you'll soon be heading towards the career you want. Feel your feels, but please do not forget to update your LinkedIn.
