Your weekly horoscope is here. Get ready for the new—whether that’s shocking or exciting, it’s not business as usual. There’s a lot of change coming up over the next few years, with several planets switching signs, correlating with notable shifts in major trends and themes. That means they’re nearing the end of their current cycles, so things are starting to get intense, like a pressure cooker just before a deadline. Scorpio season is nothing if not intense, with themes of power that feel like life and death. As the last days for voting in this pivotal election time out on Tuesday, the drama escalates with Mars in showy Leo from Sunday, in an explosive “put your dukes up/fight me” kind of way. Cast your vote, then lean into leadership and creative self-expression in your own life to center and regroup. Bring it back to what you can do in the moment, to balance your long-term vision.

Read on to discover what’s in store for your sign during the week of November 3 through November 9, 2024.

Aries

As Venus rides through your sister sign Sagittarius, she sends her arrows of love, charm, and thrill of the chase your way. Don’t be surprised by exciting stimuli, affection, and even some healing of an old, sensitive wound over the weekend. Lap it up, and make the most of your beneficial connections, network, and opportunities to expand your horizons. Your ruling planet, Mars, heads into your zone of creative self-expression and leisure until the end of the year. In early January, its biennial retrograde will bring it back to revisit your domestic sphere and that D.I.Y. project that needs finishing! Test the waters on a hobby, research a trip for your holiday period, or take some time out to have some much-needed fun. Join a luxe gym for the week or a few months, test drive a rally car, or take a few tango lessons to activate your inner child and recharge your battery.

Taurus

As Mars, the planet of energy and drive, heads into your sphere of domestic bliss, channel it into a project. In the sign of Leo, it’s at a challenging angle. You want to conserve while Leo wants to spend on luxe bling and can be all show. Find a middle ground and take the hint that it’s time to polish up your pad with a few palatial touches. A splash of color? Something shiny? The thrift, vintage, and upcycling platforms have found new life, so you can maintain your budget—find a happy medium. This may also pit your will against someone else’s, so don’t be drawn in. It may feel like now or never to make some changes in your direction, yet the urge to resist is real. Just take your time, weigh it up, research, and keep an open mind to the benefits and possibilities as Mars will retrograde in early December, making it prime time to go back over your options.
