Welcome back! The season of the Archer is in full swing post-holiday break, and with a full solar eclipse this week, there is a lot going on in the planets.

The full solar eclipse will occur Dec. 4, and although it won’t be visible in North America, you may still feel the effects through the week. Mutable signs — Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces — will have this eclipse’s spotlight on them. Be ready for change, and embrace the unexpected.

Aries, it’s been a knock-down, drag-out kind of time for you lately, and it may seem like all your plans are falling apart. But take comfort in knowing the losses you’ve faced recently will only leave what’s important for you moving forward.

Taurus, financial difficulty is easy to want to sweep under the rug, “out-of-sight-out-of-mind” style. But this eclipse is the perfect opportunity to take charge and regain stability in your financial life — you just need to face it head-on.

Gemini, relationships are hard, as you’ve noticed recently. This eclipse will finally close the chapter of loss you’ve been experiencing and make way for new relationship opportunities and stability.

Cancer, this eclipse almost certainly spells burnout for you. Remember a rise-and-grind lifestyle can be rewarding, but the fruits of your labor can’t be enjoyed if you don’t take the time to care for yourself.

Leo, if you’ve been feeling stunted in the relationship or creativity fields recently, good news! It’s finally time for you to break through the barriers you’ve faced and pursue your endeavors fully.

Virgo, you may have been feeling like you just can’t settle down — there’s always something that needs done. It’s exhausting, but you’re in the home stretch. Relief is coming.

Libra, if you’ve been feeling like your life is Grand Central Station — always moving, always changing — take a breath. Remember you can’t fit everything into one day, and this eclipse will bring some clarity to what’s really important.

Scorpio, in short, don’t be afraid to ask for what you deserve. It’s not selfish to care about yourself, and self-care is medicine.

Sagittarius, this eclipse is in your sign, and it’s the last there until 2029, so say goodbye to the last of your main-character-in-a-horror-movie moments. You’ve made it through all the trials you’ve faced, but don’t forget to shout out your support systems for keeping you afloat.

Capricorn, you’ve been doing a LOT behind the scenes, and you may feel like your hard work is going unnoticed. But don’t worry, you won’t be in the dark forever. Take time for yourself, and be patient.

Aquarius, it’s quality over quantity for you. You may have watched people walk out of your life you thought would be there forever, but you’ve been left with authenticity in your social circle.

Pisces, this eclipse is bringing you professional clarity. It’s time to set priorities and achievable goals — slow growth is still growth.
