Your Weekly Horoscopes November 17 to 23, 2024

The Mercury-Jupiter opposition on the 18th highlights how your daily life isn’t reflecting your larger dreams. But at the same time, you can’t afford to jet off to Paris. You’re instead ruminating over whether it’s too embarrassing to ask your sister for a loan. Sagittarius season begins on the 21st and for you, this is a chance to reconnect with a sense of faith. Sometimes all you can do is trust the universe to bring you what you need.

This week’s mantra: “Trust.”

This week comes with both the realization of a major goal and the humbling reality that you need help to keep going. Sagittarius season begins on the 21st and for you, this time of year is always about compromise, and I mean that on a deeper level than just the Thanksgiving menu. If you’ve spent a lot of your time showing up for a partner or friend over the last few months, this week tests whether they’re capable in turn of showing up for you. Trust and you might be surprised.

This week’s mantra: “Compromise.”

Whether you’re parting ways with a friend, lover or coworker, there’s a fine line between “Goodbye forever!” and “See you around.” Over the past few weeks you’ve identified which connections in your life are out of balance and now you make a change or walk away. Just remember that Mercury is about to go retrograde, so whatever you bring up now will certainly be revisited later. This is an ideal time to renegotiate a work contract, especially a creative one. This change gives your more freedom in the long-term.

This week’s mantra: “Acquire.”

This week is about getting out of your head and back into your body. Or trying to at least. The Mercury-Jupiter opposition on the 18th may leave you in a tangled web of doubts and worries, but by the time Sagittarius season begins on the 21st, you’re sick of your anxieties and ready to get back to work. Sometimes the only way to get unstuck is to be busy. You don’t need to overwork to find satisfaction. Just keep moving.

This week’s mantra: “Action.”

This week brings a hot last-minute date on top of social obligations galore and might leave you thinking, “Maybe there can be too much of a good thing.” Common etiquette may have you believe that you shouldn’t cancel dinner plans with a friend to go on a random first date, but what if that first date is actually the love of your life? This is your mindset for Sagittarius season. Speak up and flirt as Mercury in Sagittarius leaves you with zero filter.

This week’s mantra: “Crush.”

As much as you’re tempted to crack the cover of your next bullet journal and get a head start on planning 2025, you need to do it in pencil. Everything you start now is up for revision. Both your personal and professional life are in flux and with Mercury about to go retrograde, it’s unclear what to prioritize. What’s important in this moment is assembling your team and giving yourself space for joy. Your best ideas come not when you’re on a deadline, but when you give yourself free range to dream.

This week’s mantra: “Scatter.”

If nothing else gets accomplished this week, make sure you’re taking care of your body and health. With Mercury retrograde, these next few weeks are going to be chaotic, and you need to find time for meal prep and your little mental health walks amidst all the last minute meetings and delayed travel plans. If you’re going through it, it’s OK to be more selective about who you’re sharing your business with. Maybe your gym bestie is the ideal confidant.

This week’s mantra: “Select.”

Sagittarius season begins on the 21st and for you, this time of year is always about getting real with your budget. Are you already anxious about holiday spending or have you been saving all year to avoid the stress? Either way, there’s promise that this year can be different if you’re willing to tap into self worth and transform your values. Consider having an honest conversation with your partner or family about how to make giving more of a joy than a hassle. Start new traditions.

This week’s mantra: “Foundation.”

It’s finally your season, Sagittarius! Happy solar return. With Mercury about to go retrograde in your sign, you’re likely feeling even more chatty than usual. Just be careful not to let your exuberance get ahead of you if you want to avoid an apology tour later. If you’re facing a difficult conversation, especially with family about the holidays, consider having your partner or best friend broker the deal or at least sit beside you on the couch during the call.

This week’s mantra: “Reflect.”

Sagittarius season begins on the 21st and for you, this is the most introspective time of year. Though you begin the week deep in busy work, colleague drama or obsessive meal prepping, you end it with your phone on airplane mode at a sound bath out of town. OK maybe not that extreme, but the goal really is to chill out without abandoning yourself. And if you do need to drive 45 minutes to listen to a guy play a gong, take your sister or bestie with you.

This week’s mantra: “Vibe.”

Welcome to your most social time of the year! Though it’s overwhelming to hold space for others, especially in these turbulent times, you might find hosting to be  empowering or at least a worthy distraction. There’s a part of you that would rather not be perceived and would also like to save money right now. But who says you have to provide a luxury experience? Who are you trying to impress? Cheap and cheerful is just as pleasing as prestige.

This week’s mantra: “Convene.”

Sagittarius season kicks off on the 21st and for you, this is the most visible time of the year. Whether you’re presenting at work, hosting family for the holidays or taking on a community leadership role, everyone is looking to you for guidance this year. Instead of getting bogged down in details and overwhelmed by duty, focus on what you can control. Listen! Affirm others! Be compassionate. What happens now solidifies both personal goals and the community that will support you in achieving them.

This week’s mantra: “Shine.”
