Should You Choose Pilates or Weight Training for Better Overall Fitness? The Answer May Surprise You

The cosmic landscape shifts drastically in your weekly horoscope for November 17 to 23, 2024. You’re feeling expansive and optimistic at the beginning of the week when Mercury in Sagittarius faces off with Jupiter in Gemini on November 18. You may have conversations that open you up to other’s perspectives or beliefs. You could also learn lucky news. But beware: There is a tendency to overpromise and exaggerate today, so keep that in mind as you interact with others. Also, on November 18, the sun in Scorpio gently connects with Neptune in Pisces, helping you access your intuition. This is a powerful day for healing, acting on instinct, and leading with compassion. You may also feel tuned into the collective consciousness or notice more synchronicities throughout the day.

Pluto, the planet of transformation, death, and rebirth, moves into Aquarius until 2043! This brings you back to January 20, when Pluto took a brief dip into Aquarius. Similar themes regarding power, control, fears, and surrender resurface. This is a longer transit that has the potential to help the collective remember the power found when in community. (The last time Pluto had a lengthy stay in Aquarius was during the American Revolution and when Pluto moves through this sign, it’s very “power of the people.”)

On November 19, Mercury in Sagittarius bumps into Chiron in Aries. When Mercury, the communicator, teams up with Chiron, representing our wounds and healing journey, vulnerable conversations unfold. Old stories from your past could resurface, so consider this an invitation to interact with them differently. Your ability to be honest, raw, and present can facilitate growth.

You’ve got more pep in your step once the sun moves into Sagittarius on November 21. This puts people in a more optimistic mood, and you may also feel up for taking risks. You’re curious and eager to experience new things. Later in the day, the sun in Sagittarius mingles with Pluto in Aquarius, helping you feel empowered and proud of yourself. This is a moment of heightened self-awareness. You could also receive some recognition or meet someone transformative or influential.

You’re ready to get serious with the commitments in your life when Venus in Capricorn links up with Saturn in Pisces on November 22. This is the time to sign new contracts and discuss boundaries.

The last quarter moon in Virgo on November 22 brings you back to the full moon in Taurus on November 15. This is a period of shedding and release. What was illuminated for you under the full moon? This is an aligned time for letting go of what you don’t want to take with you into the moon’s next cycle. On the same day (November 22), Mars in Leo meets with the North Node in Aries. You could make a decision or take action in a way that feels fated today. You’re feeling bold and confident, and this can lead to some welcomed developments in your personal or professional life, too.
