Astrology Forecast November 25 – December 1, 2024

As the Moon moves into harmonious Libra this morning, you may feel a pull to restore balance in your life. Libra’s influence heightens your awareness of beauty, fairness, and relationships, encouraging a gentle, diplomatic approach to your interactions.

Forming a powerful trine with transformative Pluto in Aquarius, it will deepen our emotional insights and strengthen our intuitive powers. Libra’s need for balance harmonizes with Pluto’s intensity, making it an ideal time to face challenges with calm determination.

This combined influence also encourages us to explore the underlying dynamics of our relationships and personal desires with a sense of clarity and depth. Conversations may reveal hidden truths today, and you may feel a pull to explore what really matters, both within yourself and in your relationships with others.

This afternoon, the Sun in adventurous Sagittarius sextiles the Libra Moon, bringing a sense of ease and alignment between our inner feelings and outer actions, helping us find balance between our personal goals and our relationships.

Later in the day, the Moon’s sextile with Mars in fiery Leo will fill us with confidence and motivation. This aspect supports bold decisions and assertive action, so it’s a great opportunity to end the day on a passionate high note before Mercury turns retrograde this evening.

Today is an ideal time to mend fences, collaborate, or focus on creating a peaceful environment. However, the need to keep the peace may tempt you to avoid confrontation, so be careful to remain authentic and address issues directly when necessary. Seek balance not only in your relationships, but also in your inner world, making room for self-care amidst the demands of the day.

Tonight Mercury goes retrograde, signaling a change in pace and perspective. As Mercury retraces its steps, miscommunication and delays may occur, requiring patience and adaptability. With the Moon in Libra amplifying your desire for clarity and connection, misunderstandings may feel particularly frustrating. Use Mercury’s cosmic slowdown to revisit unresolved issues, refine your communication, and reconsider your plans with a fresh perspective. Mercury retrograde is an excellent time for introspection and reconnection, so lean into reflective practices like journaling or meditation to navigate the energies with grace.

This year, the U.S. celebrates Thanksgiving under the intensity of a Scorpio Moon, which is notorious for stirring emotions and inviting drama. Emotions may run high around the Thanksgiving table this year, magnifying unresolved issues within family dynamics. Thanksgiving conversations may feel more charged this year, and subtle power struggles may emerge, as Scorpio’s influence tends to bring buried emotions to the surface. Scorpio’s lunar influence also tends to stir up feelings of jealousy, revenge, and mistrust, especially if there are lingering tensions or old wounds that haven’t been addressed. This can make the day feel heavier than expected when conflicts arise.

Mercury retrograde is likely to increase the potential for Thanksgiving challenges by adding its usual miscommunications, misunderstandings, and delays, exacerbating Scorpio’s already intense emotional lunar energy. Conversations could be more prone to misunderstandings or unintended triggers, and unresolved issues could be misinterpreted, leading to unnecessary conflict and exacerbating old grievances or misunderstandings. Plans for the day, such as travel or meal preparation, may encounter unexpected hiccups, adding stress to an already charged atmosphere. Combined with Scorpio’s tendency to dig deep into emotions, Mercury retrograde could cause people to focus too much on the past,

To navigate these influences, double-check plans, approach conversations with clarity and patience, and be willing to let minor inconveniences or tensions slide. Avoid taking things too personally and focus on creating an atmosphere of understanding and acceptance. Embrace Scorpio’s transformative energy by focusing on healing and forgiveness rather than getting caught up in reactive patterns. However, if you have every reason to expect a worst-case scenario, it may be best to avoid this year’s family gathering altogether!

On the positive side, the influence of the Scorpio Moon can sharpen our instincts and bring a laser focus to “Black Friday” shopping, making it easier to spot hidden gems and irresistible bargains. Scorpio’s determination and resourcefulness are perfect for uncovering deals that others might miss, especially online, where research and patience pay off. You may feel drawn to invest in meaningful or transformative purchases this Friday – think of items with long-term value or gifts with deep sentimental significance. Just be aware of Mercury’s retrograde influence, which can cause glitches in online transactions or delays in shipping, and double-check details before clicking “buy.

The weekend unfolds under a happy-go-lucky Sagittarius Moon as we indulge in free-flowing conversation and fun activities. On Saturday, we experience the second New Moon of the month, reminding us to set new goals for the future. Be sure to make a wish!
