Your Horoscope for the Week of November 8

Take a deep breath: It's been a chaotic month-plus, but by the end of this week, things will feel a lot calmer. On Monday, the annual New Moon in Scorpio gives you a chance to start something new. Set a new, ambitious goal and leave those past attempts behind in the past. Remember, Scorpio is the sign of transformation, so this is a great time to take the first step to becoming a new you.

Then, some major relief comes on Friday: After three weeks of double retrogrades, both Mercury Retrograde and Venus Retrograde finally end. Their effects will echo over the next few weeks, but from now on, the cosmic chaos will slowly subside until January 2027...when Mars Retrograde begins.
