Weekly Horoscope: November 19 - 25

Neptune ends its retrograde and Sagittarius season begins!

This week kicks off with a passionate but over-the-top energy, as warrior planet Mars squares off with Jupiter, the planet of expansion, on Monday. Sagittarius season officially begins on Thursday, November 22. Sag is a fire sign known for being an optimist and a big mouth—which sometimes translates to a know-it-all attitude. As the sun moves from murky water sign Scorpio to the bold sign of the centaur, our moody and broody attitude shifts to one that’s merry and bright! A full moon in Gemini arrives on Friday, bringing climaxes and putting people in an especially talkative mood.

Neptune ends its retrograde on Saturday, November 24. The planet of illusion, Neptune began its retrograde in creative and empathetic Pisces on June 18 and stations direct on Saturday, signaling us to move forward with our dreams and fantasies. Because Neptune spends so much time retrograde each year, we astrologers don’t give it the same hype as Mercury or Venus retrograde. However, as Neptune stations direct, this week brings especially potent, heavy energies. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself feeling especially tired or sensitive. Neptune is the planet of fog, and when it’s in water sign Pisces, the mist is dense—if you feel like you’re not sure what’s going on around you, know that some confusion at this time is normal. Trust your gut without feeding any paranoid fantasies. Though Neptune’s direct station gives you a boost in creativity, this isn’t the time to make concrete plans.

All times EST.

Neptune ends its retrograde on Saturday—a dreamy energy flows in your love life, and it’s a beautiful and creative time to make art. Enjoy the romantic atmosphere! Just don’t get hung up on making commitments. Whatever is meant to be will be.

On Monday, aggressive Mars squares off with expansive Jupiter, marking a big day for your career. You’re making important moves, and everyone recognizes your strength and growth!
