Your Weekly Horoscopes: November 3 to 9, 2024

The struggle to maintain any kind of work-life balance has been real over the last several weeks. Whether you’re strapped for cash and picking up extra gigs or so exhausted from your 9-to-5 that you haven’t seen friends since the summer, this week is a breaking point. Your ruling planet Mars enters Leo and your creativity sector on the 3rd encouraging you to relax a little. Take that energy and put it into planning a date!

This week’s mantra: “Chill.”

Studying for finals, figuring out logistics for travel plans, and trying to get your extended family to see your POV before the election are all major stressors for you this week. It’s like every little thing requires a reckoning with your values. It’s exhausting. As Mars shifts into Leo and your home sector on the 3rd, you’re entering into a period of literal or figurative home renovations. Time to rebuild from the ground up.

This week’s mantra: “Advocate.”

The week begins with major negotiations that leave you feeling proud of all the ways you’re able to assert your needs and prioritize your worth. With this week’s events, you finally push past emotional and financial stress that’s been keeping you small not only for the last few months but for the last several years. As you enter this new era, it’s time to be very picky about who you let into the inner circle. Remember: “No” is a complete sentence.

This week’s mantra: “Close.”

Conflict has been brewing in one of your closest relationships for weeks now, and on the 3rd, this tension reaches a climax. To get past this, it’s clear that the terms and conditions need to be rewritten. Before you separate with a hot head though, take a moment to cool off and assess what it is you really need. Perhaps some of that validation you crave needs to come from within.

This week’s mantra: “Enough.”

There’s no sugarcoating it: the last few months have been stressful for you, Leo. It’s been a constant struggle to figure out a good balance between hard work and recovery. On the 3rd, you face one last challenge that proves your resilience. Mars enters your sign on the same day to stay for the next two months. Stay hydrated under this influence and take care not to push yourself too hard. Let out your anger, and use the long-term passion and heat to your advantage.

This week’s mantra: “Sizzle.”

A long-awaited friend breakup (or frenemy showdown) has you anxious and all up in your feels this week. Friend break ups are often harder than romantic ones because we have no societal script for how to talk about them. Many suffer through this pain alone. Mars enters your unconscious sector on the 3rd ushering you into a period where solitude is the norm. Though it’s important to rest and take your space, don’t forget to reach out when you need it.

This week’s mantra: “Space.”

It’s lonely to be in a constant state of surviving not thriving. But what if I told you that you didn’t have to do it alone? It’s heartbreaking to realize that an old friend isn’t able to give you the support you need. But it’s a thrill to discover that there arepeople out there who do wantto show up for you. The point isn’t to burn out trying to prove yourself. Shine brightly so that what’s meant for you won’t miss you.

This week’s mantra: “Glow.”

The week begins with you feeling frustrated, like logistics and red tape are keeping you from living your life. Maybe you’re shut out of registration for next semester’s dream class. Or maybe you’re realizing that, due to soaring Amtrak costs, your trip home for Thanksgiving is going to cost twice as much as you thought. Every detail feels extreme and prohibitive. If it feels like you have nowhere left to turn, it’s time to claim your inner ruler. The next two months are for unapologetically taking up space.

This week’s mantra: “Roar.”

You so often are everyone else’s cheerleader. But as this week begins, you get to see who shows up for you when you need a boost. Since early September, you’ve been in the thick of it, working through grief, trauma or a messy financial situation, and on the 3rd you come to a difficult state of acceptance. Though it feels hard in the moment, this is your first step toward claiming more freedom. Adventure awaits once you get out of this trap.

This week’s mantra: “Break.”

The week begins with you bearing the unnecessary brunt of someone else’s aggravation. This tension has been building for a few weeks now and on the 3rd, it all comes to a head. Just because you’re getting the blame doesn’t mean it’s your fault, but it does mean you have to draw better boundaries. The next two months give you the energy you need to collect better emotional and financial resources.

This week’s mantra: “Stock.”

You have been hustling since early September, and this week might be the busiest one yet. Everything comes to a head on the 3rd: the dogwalker cancels, the kids are sick and your boss needs to “meet” for undisclosed reasons. This is enough to make anyone spiral. What you’re learning is that you actually can’t do this all alone. You need to delegate. Notice who’s more than eager to help out and who starts an argument when you ask.

This week’s mantra: “Collaborate.”

It’s time to choose your own happiness, Pisces. Yes it’s easier to follow the plan and go along with the trends. But real fulfillment comes when you go your own way. Whether you’re walking away from a boring (but cushy) job to start your own business or quitting a friend’s chaotic bachelorette party to take a solo vacation, the extra work you have to do now will be worth the peace that comes later.

This week’s mantra: “Commit.”
