[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of November 10 - 16

Mercury just turned retrograde, so keep in mind that miscommunication and shifting plans are more likely as you move through the week. 

Beyond that, the week starts productive, slows down Tuesday, and Wednesday brings the chaos of words that are both messy and loud. The second half is recovery, assuming you didn't destroy too much on Wednesday.

Monday 11/10

• ☽ at 05° 13‘ Leo  □ ♀︎ at 05° 13‘ Scorpio | 9:43pm Eastern

Monday is productive and optimistic. There's momentum for ambitious work and confidence runs high. Some relationship tension surfaces but doesn't derail the day.

• Best for: Ambitious projects, confident action, pushing forward on goals, productive work.
• Potential Challenges: Overconfidence, relationship tension, taking on more than sustainable.

Tuesday 11/11

• ☽ at 06° 42‘ Leo △ ☿ at 06° 42‘ Sagittarius | 12:21am Eastern
• ♃ ▻ ℞ at 25° 09‘ Cancer | 11:41am Eastern

Tuesday the brakes get tapped as Jupiter stations retrograde. 

What was expanding easily now requires more effort or just stops moving forward. This is a good day to recognize where you've taken on too much and start cutting back before you're forced to.

• Best for: Pruning back excess, saying no to opportunities that would overextend you, recognizing overcommitment, finishing existing projects.
• Potential Challenges: Reduced opportunities, delayed benefits, fading optimism, stalled growth, disappointment when expansion doesn't easily materialize.

Wednesday 11/12

• 🌗 Last Quarter Moon | 12:28am Eastern
• ☿ ☌ ♂︎ at 06° 04‘ Sagittarius | 6:15pm Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 48‘ Leo □ ♅ at 29° 48‘ Taurus | 6:29pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 6:29pm - 6:51pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Virgo | 6:51pm Eastern

Wednesday is filled with direct, aggressive, or scattered communication. 

Arguments re-open, conversations turn confrontational, and it's easy to say things impulsively that cause damage, even if that damage needed to occur for growth to take place (like pruning a plant). 

Overall, however, words are both unreliable and forceful and old arguments could resurface with renewed energy.

• Best for: Saying things that needed to be said but were avoided the first time, addressing unfinished arguments, cutting through excessive politeness.
• Potential Challenges: Impulsive speech, arguments that escalate quickly, miscommunication that turns aggressive, saying things you can't take back, scattered thinking combined with forceful action. 

Thursday 11/13

• ☽ at 05° 48‘ Virgo  □ ☿ at 05° 48‘ Sagittarius | 5:49am Eastern
• ☽ at 06° 27‘ Virgo □ ♂︎ at 06° 27‘  Sagittarius | 7:03am Eastern
• ☽ at 08° 24‘ Virgo ✳ ♀︎ at 08° 24‘ Scorpio | 10:46am Eastern

Thursday arrives with Wednesday's aggressive communication energy but with slightly less intensity. 

Conversations remain difficult and scattered thinking persists, but the worst has passed and common ground becomes more visible.

• Best for:  Productive follow-up conversations, practical problem-solving.
• Potential Challenges: Residual tension, impatience with details, forcing closure too quickly.

Friday 11/14

• ☽ ☌ ☋ at 16° 09‘ Virgo | 1:38am Eastern
• ☽ at 22° 40‘ Vigro ✳ ☉ at 22° 40‘ Scorpio | 2:20pm Eastern
• ☽ at 25° 08‘ Virgo ✳ ♃  at 25° 08‘ Cancer | 7:09pm Eastern
• ☽ at 25° 18‘ Virgo ☍ ♄ at 25° 18‘ Pisces | 7:30pm Eastern

Friday is steady and productive. Work gets done, focus improves, and there's capacity for sustained effort on difficult tasks. This is a good day for catching up or making progress after the chaos earlier in the week.

• Best for: Steady work, practical tasks, detailed projects, catching up, sustained effort.
• Potential Challenges: Work feeling heavy or tedious, lack of excitement, frustration with slow progress.

Saturday 11/15

• ☽ at 29° 32‘ Virgo ☍ ♆ at 29° 32‘ Pisces | 3:50am Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 42‘ Virgo △ ♅ at 29° 42‘ Taurus  | 4:08am Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 4:08am - 4:43am Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Libra | 4:43am Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 37‘ Libra △ ♇ at 01° 37‘ Aquarius | 7:55am Eastern
• ☽ at 04° 00‘ Libra ✳ ☿ at 04° 00‘ Sagittarius | 12:40pm Eastern
• ☽ at 08° 20‘ Libra ✳ ♂︎ Sagittarius | 9:16pm Eastern
• 🌘 Waning Crescent Moon | 10:38pm Eastern

 Saturday brings genuine relief after the week's tension. Charm returns, conversations become easier, and optimism feels accessible again. This is a good day for socializing, connecting with people you enjoy, and remembering that not everything has to be difficult.

• Best for: Socializing, pleasant conversations, reconnecting with people, enjoyment, charm, optimism.
• Potential Challenges: Scattered thinking, avoiding necessary depth for the sake of pleasantness.

Sunday 11/16

• No Transits 

Sunday has no major transits. Use the quiet to rest, catch up, or handle whatever needs attention without external pressure.

• Best for: Rest, routine tasks, catching up, working at your own pace.
• Potential Challenges: Feeling like nothing is moving, lack of external momentum, restlessness from the quiet. 

Until next time, my wish for you is the wisdom to know when to expand and when to prune. - Robin💋
