What’s going on with the planets? Is Mercury in gatorade? Check out your weekly horoscope and get an update on what’s going on in astrology right now!

This week greets us with a new moon in Scorpio on Nov. 4, as well as carrying both Neptune and Uranus in retrograde (Rx). In short: there’s a lot of feelings happening. Thank the moon, especially, if you have a big three placement in Taurus, Leo, Aquarius, or, you guessed it, Scorpio.

If you have a big six placement (sun, moon, rising/ascendant, Mercury, Mars and Venus) in Pisces, Sagittarius, Gemini or Virgo, be prepared to face those problems head-on. Neptune is an illusionist planet, and in its home sign of Pisces, it’s playing no games right now. The retrograde lasts from June 25 to Dec. 1, so keep holding on.

If one of your big six is in Taurus, Leo, Aquarius or Scorpio (sorry, guys, it’s rough out there), get ready to have your world rocked, if you haven’t seen it already. Uranus’ retrograde lasts from Aug. 19 all the way into Jan. 18, 2022. This is the planet of awakening, so don’t be afraid to lean into the changes and take this opportunity for growth.

Aries, this is the time to feel all the feelings. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable right now.

Taurus, you’re gonna see some intensity when it comes to close relationships — family, friends, significant others, you name it — but don’t run from those strong feelings! That intensity brings new opportunities.

Gemini, life may feel like it’s droning — day in, day out, same thing — but don’t lose yourself in the routine and monotony. Try taking steps to be fully present in all of life’s mundane moments.

Cancer, this Scorpio new moon is giving you all the inspiration and drive! Take advantage of the energy shift to bring new life and creativity into everything you’re doing.

Leo, you may be feeling a lot of nostalgia right now, especially about family. It’s a good time to connect to your roots and re-stabilize your foundation to move forward with confidence.

Virgo, it’s good to spend time practicing mindfulness, but don’t lock yourself away! Take time to be social and integrate yourself into your local scene.

Libra, this new moon is putting you in touch with resources! Focus on those money-related goals and look for opportunities for security and financial growth.

Scorpio, having this new moon in your corner means lots of energy for transformation and reinvention! You may be feeling overwhelmed with all those feelings, but take this moon’s energy and use it to manifest your goals and motivation.

Sagittarius, life is feeling heavy at the moment, but don’t sink under the weight. Take the passion and energy from all those feelings and don’t be afraid to face it head-on!

Capricorn, it’s group project time! It’s your time to branch out, seek growth, connection and creativity from those around you.

Aquarius, does work feel like a lot right now? This is a good time to reflect on your professional needs and seek out new opportunities. They may be manifesting in ways you’re not expecting, so don’t be afraid of change!

Pisces, that water moon is really pushing you out of your comfort zone. Embrace it! It’s time to push boundaries and seek out opportunities for personal growth and new knowledge.
