There’s no shortage of drama in your weekly horoscope November 3 to 9, 2024. On November 3, Mars in Cancer stares down Pluto in Capricorn, which has the potential to unearth buried resentment, fears, and tension. It’s one hell of a planetary pairing to start the week off with, and people may be reactive—yourself included! This stirs up power struggles, acting out based on fears, and clashes of egos. Watch out for others who are trying to exert their control over you, and be mindful of the way you wield your own power and influence.
Fortunately, on the same day, Venus and Jupiter—the two luckiest planets in the sky—will link up. This ensures some sort of silver lining to the day, no matter what other theatrics unfold. Despite Mars and Pluto’s showdown, you may still receive news that’s worth celebrating, or have fun social plans with a friend. This can also help you make progress on some of your goals. You may also want to consider which patterns no longer serve you. Venus in Sagittarius mingles with Chiron in Aries, and since Chiron represents our deepest wounding and our healing journey, you have an opportunity to reflect on old relationship wounds. Interactions with others today can be healing, and relationships can grow deeper through authentic and vulnerable connection.
Before the end of the day, still on November 3, Mars, the planet of action and anger, moves into powerhouse Leo. Mars will go retrograde in Leo in early December, so start paying attention to little annoyances or inconveniences that pop up now—they may offer clues to your personal retrograde story down the road. This is a productive time to seek inspiration from your inner child, work on your confidence, and nurture your creative side.
The skies ease up on November 4 when the Sun in Scorpio meets with Saturn in Pisces. This cosmic combination offers grounding energy. You’re able to problem solve and move through the most tedious of tasks with more ease and grace. This is also a great time to seek advice from elders or people you trust, or to receive recognition for something you’ve dedicated yourself to wholeheartedly.
