There’s a sense of resolve and surprise this week as some of November’s trickiest astrology finally starts to appear in our rear-view mirror.
With the last week of Scorpio season—and a new moon—offering an out-of-the-box reset, there’s a sense of at least understanding—if not completely fixing—an issue that’s been causing you headaches.
Thursday (AEST, GST and MST) is the day to mark in your calendar for turning points and breakthroughs. Look for the light bulb moment or crazy new perspective that helps you move beyond what’s previously felt extremely frustrating.
Horoscopes for the week of November 17-23, 2025:
ARIES AND ARIES RISING
Like it or not, you’re in the midst of a cosmic slowdown. The good news is, now that you’ve been forced to take your foot off the gas, you have the chance to stop and enjoy the scenery. And the scenery is not for the faint-hearted.
The sky is pulling focus on some big, heavy stuff, and you’re being asked to look within and consider, “How can I rethink how I share my space, my stuff, my money, myself, in new ways?” As the focus on shared resources—from money to space to emotional intimacy—reaches a peak this year, now is the time to consider doing things radically differently.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
Ready or not, your relationships are under the microscope this week. Scorpio season always serves truth serum. True to form, this week doesn’t disappoint. With Thursday’s new moon setting the scene for some major soul searching, you’re being dealt an opportunity to get real and set new intentions—and boundaries—around what you really want.
As scary as it might feel, now is the time to be truthful and ask for what you need. Multiple planets convene in the realm of your one-on-one bonds, and there will be no escaping the need to dig deep and ask yourself, “Is this real/honest/profound enough for me?” The answer may surprise you
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
After last week’s salty mood, especially with your other half if you’re in a relationship, things feel a little less heightened this week. There’s still irritability, but your gaze is shifting to what’s happening at work. If you manage a team, it could be a week of challenges but also significant growth.
Thursday’s new moon is all about confronting discomfort and seeking deeper learning. It is there, but you’ll have to look hard, and maybe acknowledge some uncomfortable truths. Focus on one-on-one check-ins rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The results may surprise you.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
The vibe outside may be a little fractious, but within your personal sphere, there are some good vibes to be enjoyed. With the final week of Scorpio season bringing resolve and clarity to your creative projects, it’s the best week of the month to start something new. Yes, Mercury is still retrograde, but so long as you get comfortable with things potentially changing or evolving over time, there’s no time like the present.
If you’re in your motherhood era, the new beginnings or connections could manifest through your kids. Work still looks a little spicy, as does anything health-related, so don’t choose this week to hit the gym harder than usual, no matter how motivated you feel.
LEO AND LEO RISING
There’s a lot going on for lions this week, with the skies focused firmly on family and home. A new moon on Thursday is the chance to turn over a new leaf and start something more honest and committed than ever before. Whether it’s a new renovation, homing in on a certain area to look for a new property, or getting real about how you feel or show up among family, it’s an opportunity to refine and redefine who you are behind closed doors.
The energy isn’t suggesting things will be straightforward, but nothing rewarding is ever easy, so be brave and push yourself to “go there”.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
The hijinks of Mercury retrograde continue this week, as your devices, tech and even car come into focus. If ever there was a week to back up your work and put a delay on emails before they send, this is it. A little extra care and prep will make all the difference in ensuring things go close(ish) to plan. Allow for some delays, mix-ups or technical snafus, and you won’t be disappointed.
On a deeper level, it’s a great week to reconnect with siblings or extended family with whom you’re overdue to catch up. With the stars serving “deep and meaningful” that long-awaited catch up could be food for the soul.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
You survived the spiciness of last week; this week is a lot more “moment of truth”. Things get real with a new moon on Thursday, which asks you, “What actually matters right now?” As a sign that can get caught up in pleasantries and aesthetics, this is an opportunity to go deep and do some serious soul searching.
You may find that finances or how you earn money are wrapped up in some of the more profound questions that arise. If ever there was a time to do things differently or try an out-of-the-box approach, this is it.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
Brace yourself as the final week of your home season delivers what may be its most intense energy yet. As the Sun creeps through the final days of Scorpio season, communication, identity, and emotions collide to deliver a moment of truth. Despite being extremely observant, this one might even take you by surprise.
Thursday is the day to watch, as the other shoe drops and you see things as they truly are. Remember that every ending is the start of a new beginning. Buckle up, it’s going to be an exhilarating week.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
The week delivers an unusual mix of motivation and exhaustion as the skies activate your chart in unusual ways. While a part of you is itching to get on with the job, something is holding you back and making you move at half speed. Just acknowledging that contradiction will go a long way to easing any sense of frustration.
Meanwhile, the new moon on Thursday could feel incredibly profound as pearls of wisdom from deep in your subconscious bubble up seemingly out of the blue. Trust that whatever comes to you in daydreams (or actual dreams) is solid intel. This is your week to start a dream journal.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
Things are looking up this week, although after last week, perhaps anything feels like an improvement. As the final days of Scorpio season unfold, you’re focused more on your network and social connections than the ickiness of whatever was happening at work. That’s still there, but there’s a bit more clarity around what you’re meant to learn or take away from it all. Use those insights to form new intentions around how you connect with others outside your immediate sphere of trust.
Maybe you need to be less guarded, maybe you need to be less invested. Pay attention on Thursday; there’ll be no missing what the answer is for you.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
It’s a big week for Aquarians with the final days of Scorpio season bringing unexpected revelations and big feelings. With the sky prompting you to focus on your professional self and how you show up “out there” in the world, you could find yourself at the precipice of a new chapter.
What’s interesting is that it could coincide with a significant change of heart. Do you actually want that thing you’ve been chasing? Maybe what you always wanted, or at least thought you wanted, isn’t aligned with how you feel anymore. Be prepared for change. It’s coming.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
After last week’s rather spicy weather, you’re in for something a little different. The good news? Less dysfunction at work. The tension persists, but it’s less front and centre. Instead, you’ll find the last few days of Scorpio season primed for some serious soul searching. The spiritually inclined among us will enjoy the opportunity to look beyond the everyday and ask themselves some big, deep questions. Meditation will be especially illuminating.
And on Thursday, when the energy peaks with a new moon, the pull to up-sticks and go on an adventure may leave you feeling restless. If you can’t afford to book a spontaneous trip overseas, stay away from booking.com; the temptation could be too much to handle.
