Weekly Horoscopes November 4th 2024 – Mars in Roar!

ARIES

Slow is the new fast

Change what you can and what you can’t – don’t worry about!

Ask what’s really stopping you?

Hooray! Mars goes into fellow Fire sign Leo after a very watery time. The urge to race ahead is strong, but slowing down is your power move now. Mars, your ruler, lights up your 5th house (4th), fueling you with passion and bold confidence in Leo. This brings not just pleasure, but a magnetic power. Yet, Mars is slowing, poised to reverse next month. This shift could mean changing your plans—someone else changing theirs. Be ready for past figures, particularly masculine energies, to reappear, reigniting unfinished stories.

Mercury’s retroshadow in your expansive 9th (6th) house amplifies the need to tread carefully. It’s tempting to leap, but this week, the Sun’s angle to Saturn (4th) could show that slow, deliberate choices yield real results. You might even find a new path that replaces past disappointments.

Keep your focus on what works and what you value. This isn’t ignorant optimism—it’s clarity. Mars is still pushing you forward, but Venus’s tension with Neptune in your 12th triggers deeper questions: What holds you back? Fear of failure? The more subtle fear of success? Impostor syndrome may whisper, “What do they see in me?” Recognize this voice. Let it surface, challenge it, and move forward anyway.

In a nutshell: With Mars gearing up for a reversal, power lies in restraint. Encounters with past connections could reveal hidden truths. Take this pause to confront what truly holds you back from your desires—and move forward, fearless.

TAURUS

‘Tis the season for sharing

Let go of what love should look like

Get some people power magic

Ready to mingle? This week can shift from isolation and restriction to inclusivity and optimism in a heartbeat. If you let it! Like-minded souls are waiting to gather you up and carry you forward into shared love and experiences. But it would help if you were open. So, do accept any invitations that come your way. Even if saying yes takes you out of your usual social orbit. The Sun in your 7^th and its trine to Saturn in your 11^th, points to like minds in a new guise. It’s also a wonderful transit for settleds to be out and about together. Especially if you share common interests. Or would like to meet other couples.

If you are seeking someone new, don’t get too hung up on romance but keep your focus on like-minded connections. Again, this is all about being open. And friendship isn’t a silver medal love.

However, this cycle can also see you cut ties with anyone who is no longer on the same page as you. It may be time to own the fact you have drifted apart. Ruler Venus’s hold on Neptune (9^th) may highlight this. If so, you can see this has been a gradual process and that your lives have simply gone in different directions. Release with thanks for the good times you did share. It’s unlikely that this ends with drama or a row. But dissolves or fades out.

Social activities centered around the home are also favoured by Mars visiting your 4^th. So, inviting people round for anything from that retro game night to that dinner or a binge watch, fuels your domestic scene with the right warmth and energy. Keep the emphasis on fun and revivals. Mercury now officially in retroshadow in your change sector, has you looking at reboots. What can you reinvent, revive or re-envision? Is it connection, love and feeling simply fired up by the positive energy of the people who surround you? Making that extra effort hands you this.

In a nutshell: Assemble your band of superheroes. Gather your dream team. Find your community spirit. Above all, don’t see romantic love as your one and only. It’s all love. Friends and connections offer up more than just silver medal rewards this week.

GEMINI

Love your energy

Becoming an overnight sensation takes time

Get your glam on!

Jupiter in your sign may not deliver an overnight success story, Gemini. It may take time to work its magic. But take it that what you ARE working on right now is truly appreciating that the key to getting what you want lies in embracing the pure power of self-love. And yes, there IS something magical about this. And it does turn you into a magnet for what you want.

However – progress may slow even more now ruler Mercury enters retroshadow in your 7^th this week. You also have Mars blazing into your 3^rd of communication from the 4^th. Mars too is preparing to retrograde next month. All this tells you that it may be time to stop and stick for a while. To look at what you have achieved and attracted so far this year. And also to adjust those self-love settings if needed.

It is and it isn’t about how you look, Gemini. Of course, you need to like what you see in the mirror. And are allowed to adjust or update as needed. But really it’s about loving what you project. Your essence, your real self, your energy that radiates out from you and touches all you come into contact with. That soul charisma that is timeless and also transcends our appearance. It’s that which draws people to us. Get your flame on now.

In Hollywood’s golden era and also in magical practices they call this ‘glamour’. The ability to enchant and captivate. Star quality. Of course image has its role here. But again, it’s all in the belief and in what is projected. This week can have you looking in a mirror someone else holds up for you. You get to glimpse how you come across. Rewards can follow this. From you working your wonder as the Sun in your 6^th highlights Saturn in your 10^th. That’s about substance and serving real.

Venus also in your 7^th may expose someone whose idea of you differs from the one you currently hold. It throws something in a harsh light. The question is: who sees this clearly? Has this been said to you before? Or does it reveal a truth about them and not you at all? Either way – you’re taking it on board. Because it either adds to your inner light – or you turn off their ability to influence it. No more dulling that glow.

In a nutshell: Here’s a cosmic secret for successful attraction, Gemini: Loving our energy turns us into powerful magnets for what we desire. And there’s something sexy about people who do. This has nothing to do with looks. It’s about how you feel. About the very essence of you.

6 Nov 2024 Mercury retroshadow begins in Sagittarius (7^th)

9 Nov 2024 Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces (7^th to 10^th)

CANCER

Go with what flows

Know what’s worth it

Pop goes your heart – not the money, Cancer!

Hold tight to those purse strings. Mars enters your 2^nd (4^th) and Mercury enters pre-shadow in your 6^th. This adds up to knowing where the money goes. And sensible Cancerians will do their gift buying before Mercury turns backwards later this month. And certainly before Dec 6 when Mars slams on the brakes.

This comes when you’re feeling at your most generous and quite possibly gregarious this week. The first can lead you to over-spending. So, all the more reason to keep to that budget. The second – well, you’re seeking to expand and also lighten your load right now. Especially around your workload or what you’ve taken on. Your playful spirit re-emerges if you’ve felt it’s been in hibernation.

The rather narky, snarky angle between Venus in your 6^th and Neptune in your 9^th shows you where something has turned into hard work (9^th). You may be counting the cost or simply weighing up whether your continued effort is worth it. But this week offers a way to lighten the load thanks to a shining beam of light from the Sun striking Saturn (4^th). You could simply choose to let go and cease worrying. An alternative path is highlighted for you when it comes to love, life or simply what you love. Ditch the heavy lifting now, Cancer. It’s either effortless flow or so no.

In a nutshell: With Mars’ move into your 2^nd it’s time to focus on not just where the money is at, but what’s worth your time – and what’s simply turned into hard work. Look at what offers a carefree, flowing alternative, Cancer. And lighten up.

9 Nov 2024 Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces (6^th to 9^th)

LEO

Insist that what persists is dealt with

Remove blocks to progress

No more hesitation – make your move!

Mars’s arrival in your sign (4th) gives you a surge of confidence, passion, and flair, Leo. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to take action, this is it. Between now and the 19th, a window opens for you to tackle any lingering tasks and move forward with boldness. Trust in your bravery and get it done—you were born for this.

Mars will go retrograde next month, which may bring a slower pace, so make the most of this energetic boost, the excitement and the utter joy this give you.

Mercury in preshadow in your 5th hints at the need for careful reflection, while Venus in your 5th clashing with Neptune in your 8th urges you to address anything that’s been left unchecked. This is your call to stand up for your values and commit to what truly matters.

With Pluto preparing to shift into your 7th (19th) and Saturn ready to move direct in your change sector, you’re reaching a critical turning point. These shifts signal an upcoming decision or change that’s set to transform your path.

This week encourages you to clear the way for what’s next. It’s time to remove anything clouding your vision or holding you back. There’s something brilliant waiting on the horizon—perhaps a new home, an opportunity, or a step towards a better chapter.

Seize the day, Leo. Your ruler, the Sun, trines Saturn in your change sector (4th), showing you how to overcome blocks and reclaim your view. Take the chance this week; there’s nothing you can’t manage.

In a nutshell: Mars boosts your confidence and drive this week, giving you the green light to tackle unfinished business and take action. Opportunities are all around you, so make the most of them before the pace shifts

4 Nov 2024 Sun in Scorpio trine Saturn in Pisces (4^th to 8^th)

4 Nov 2024 Mars enters Leo (1^st)

6 Nov 2024 Mercury retroshadow begins in Sagittarius (5^th)

9 Nov 2024 Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces (5^th to 8^th)

VIRGO

Destiny arrives at a decision

Go with cosmic timing

Get your answer

Push the pause button this week. And understand if you’ve not arrived at a decision or brought something to a successful conclusion by the time ruler Mercury is in pre-shadow (6^th), you now need to stop and take stock.

Above all, don’t push or rush things. Mars enters your 12^th (4^th). And it too is in pre-shadow. It will reverse in exactly one month’s time (Dec 6). So, you are either able to bring something to completion now. Or you just have to bow gracefully to cosmic timing. You’re the retro boss so I’m not going to preach to the choir here.

Mars in your 12^th initiates a discovery period. Where you look beyond the obvious. And when true colours will be revealed. As a result of this, and also Pluto’s big switch into your 6^th (19^th) along with Saturn direct in your 7^th (15^th), any shifts that occur may be the result of these epoch ending transits. And happen organically.

It’s also a week under which to commit, Virgo. There will be no room for ambivalence. Yours or anothers. The Sun in your communication sector lights up put-a-ring-on-it Saturn in your 7^th. An offer, news, question or even a proposal requires an answer. Or maybe you are the one doing the asking, Virgo. Ahead of the big planetary change you do need to know where you stand. And to plan for the future. Don’t leave things hanging. This week bring you to the point: Are you in or are you out? You’re playing for keeps so take it – you need an answer.

In a nutshell: A week to put a ring on it. Or at least know where you stand, Virgo. A definitive decision is callled for. There’s no middle ground. It’s all in – or you’re out. But knowing where you stand is simply love by another name.

9 Nov 2024 Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces (4^th to 7^th)

LIBRA

Create the magical everyday

Change opens up alternatives

It’s not small stuff – it all matters big time

Ruler Venus asks that you upgrade your everyday, Libra. You also have Mercury in preshadow this week with both planets in Mercury’s ruling 3^rd house. So, do expect an extra serving of Mercury madness as it turns retrograde (from the 26^th) in a ruling house. Especially if travelling as Jupiter, which rules Sagittarius, is retrograde in Mercury’s ruling sign of Gemini and your 9^th.

Do now abide by the retro rules as sacred texts not to be deviated from. Even though Mercury is only in retroshadow. Avoid large purchases unless something breaks down beyond repair. Devices, appliances, cars and yes, horses. Defer the paperwork for now. You are one of the signs I will encourage to get their gift shopping done now and before the retrograde is in full force. This is your house of shopping and commerce.

Back to the everyday and every way lifestyle report. Things must change and you must change them. Your priorities, your workload, your health and habits and your routine. What you engage in whether paid or unpaid. Your lifestyle. Something needs to shift and chances are you have been aware its not been working for some time. No more coasting and allowing things to simply drift. And no more telling yourself it really doesn’t matter that much. It does.

Options may have been limited. Or you have ended up in a situation which is impacting on your wellbeing through no fault of your own. Physically, mentally and energetically, it’s taken a toll on your soul. Luckily you now can change it up thanks to Mars in your 11^th (4^th). And an moment of enlightenment between the Sun in your 2^nd and Saturn in your 6^th the same day. Take it you not only see what needs to be done, but the way to bring about a permanent solution.

In case there is any remaining doubt in your mind, ruler Venus also in your 3^rd shows you that something can no longer continue on the 9^th. It’s high tensile angle to Neptune in your 6^th delivers a wake-up call around an issue that is keeping you stuck. Or having a long term negative effect on you. Your solution lies in your people. Finding a new outlet or simply asking for help. Especially when it comes to alternative ideas or simply regulating your emotions. Changes to your routine – even small ones, will feel like you’ve been paroled from jail. It’s not a Get Out of Jail Free Card however. You have to be willing to face the need for change. And then act on it.

In a nutshell: Feeling stuck? Or that something needs to shift – but you’re not sure how? Don’t neglect the small stuff, Libra. Because it really is a big deal now. Changing up what you do each day shakes you free. And back into happiness and flow.

SCORPIO

Get ready to slay

You’re poised on the brink of long term change

Know that sweet, wonderful you deserves better

You are at your most magnetic and also sweetly passionate this week, Scorpio. You also exude a determination to get things done. The latter is down to old ruler Mars landing in your 10^th of public image, recognition and career. The former – that’s due to the trine between the Sun in your sign and Saturn in your 5^th. Both of which occur on the 4^th. Glow your own way and be prepared to serve your very best impression. You’re here to slay as Saturn in the mix promises long term results. While the Sun keeps the focus on you, wonderful you.

This is a fabulous day to make any move. Be it in love or professionally. Accolades, attention and rewards may be on offer. Take it you are ‘on show’ this week so do be mindful at all times of how you come across. Both IRL and in your online life. What you say and put out there, matters as someone or even more than one someone, is watching and taking note. Be bold, confident and fuel up on self-belief. But don’t promise more than you can deliver. Or pretend to know the answers when you don’t.

Mars is in preshadow so you have a month’s window left when it comes to career progress before it reverses. Mercury also enters preshadow this week. In your 2^nd of money, income and self-worth. Due to the Sun/Saturn alignment this can deliver hard-earned rewards. But it also tells you to watch your spending now. Like many signs, your best tactic for holiday budgeting and avoiding retro-snafus, is to do you holiday gift shopping before Mercury’s full reverse on the 26^th.

Take it that you are quietly determined to make some kind of move on up in the next couple of weeks. You know you have arrived at the end of one major phase and the start of a new one. Due to new ruler Pluto poised to enter your 4^th. Key decisions can be made now which will impact on your long term path and even living arrangements. If anything no longer chimes with your core values, you may have reached the parting of the ways by the 9^th. Don’t be afraid to let it go if so.

In a nutshell: You’ve a magnetic mix of magic to serve this week, Phoenix. A blend that allows you to put yourself front an centre when it comes to recognition and attraction. A little self-belief takes you a very long way indeed. Take it the world is watching.

SAGITTARIUS

Go within to kickstart outer change

Attune to your innermost dreams

Go forth – with caution

You instinctively know change is coming, Sag. But you may not yet see just what form it will take. This week brings you a period off introspection. Where you fearlessly take a look at what you need. And also what needs to be released.

New beginnings lie ahead. But what you have to understand this pre-birthday season – and heading into it, is that they may take time to appear. We are in big, fat retrograde weather now. Mars arrives in your 9^th of all things Sag-centered. Travel, expansion, learning, freedom. But it’s retro-shady. And will hit reverse on December 6. This will slow progress. Especially when combined with ruler Jupiter backwards in your 7^th. And now Mercury in pre-shadow in your sign (6^th). This may see you going back over plans and either deciding to reboot them. Or discarding them in favour of something new. But the emphasis really is on the thinking and not the doing now.

Something’s in lockdown and you may be reluctant to share your feelings. Or what those plans actually are. And if you do confide in anyway, choose carefully especially around the 9^th. Ensure they will keep your confidence. If in doubt, talk to a professional whose code of ethics ensures confidentiality.

A property matter or issue which touches on living arrangement or your family dynamic may be about to be resolved between now and your birthday however. This can even touch on your home, neighbourhood, locale or country. It shifts you into a fresh dynamic. Watch for changes around the 4^th and again around the 15^th.

If going anywhere, do check all arrangements and everything from the weather (including at your destination), to industrial action, political turmoil or technical outages that may impact on your trip. Do allow extra time and pack Plan B thru to Z. Just in case. Better to have it and not need it. Than need it and not have it.

In a nutshell: Your outgoing soul turns within to reflect on what it is you really want for your upcoming cycle. And you may be keeping this on the downlow for now. If indulging in your favourite Sag passion of travel – pack more than one alternative plan. The weather’s retroactive.

CAPRICORN

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn

Poison. Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Change is inevitable now. And you enter the end of one epoch and the beginning of another. From now right up until the end of your birthday cycle in January, expect completion, endings and then a move forward into a brand new paradigm.

If it is in your power to bring something to a close, then please do so. And don’t delay. Especially if this is something you have been putting off. Or which brings up old fears. Mars’ shift into its ruling 8^th hands you blazing courage and certainty. But you only have this on tap for a few weeks’ more. Next month, Mars heads backwards. You will also be well aware of the fact that Pluto is now days away from permanently exiting your sign. While ruler Saturn is supercharged with future vibes from the Sun in your 11^th (4^th). Saturn will also head direct again (15^th), just four days before Pluto’s shift. All this adds up to you reaching a major turning point from which there is no going back from.

No fate but the one you decide to make, Cappy. It’s very important you self-initiate change or bring closure if needed. This truly is the end of an era for you. If there is an outstanding issue around love or partners, it now needs to be dealt with. Pluto’s departing gift to you is the strength to follow your own heart in this. Mercury in your 12^th also enters preshadow this week. And again, this draws your attention back to what remains undone or undecided. The 9^th highlights this for you. Every rose has a thorn, Capricorn. A new era dawns. So, grasp it.

In a nutshell: You’re awarenes that one major phase of your life is very much at an end and a new one beckons, increases this week. The great thing about Pluto’s journey through your sign is – it’s shown you that you have the power to design your own fate. Work it like you own it now (you do!).

AQUARIUS

Decisions stick but the destination may change

Is it merge or diverge?

Release what no longer resonates

Slow down that search for The One if that’s what you’re engaged in. Mars enters your partnership zone this week (4^th). In retroshade. In exactly one month’s time it will reverse. Plus you are now two weeks out from Pluto’s shake and bake transformation happening in your sign. You are poised on the brink of a major transformation. And as this new era begins, you need to exercise caution and discernment when it comes to what you pursue. It may be better to wait and see what (or even who), the universe itself delivers.

Keep in mind we are in heavy retro weather. This includes ruler Uranus in your 4^th. Jupiter in your 5^th, Neptune in your 2^nd, old ruler Saturn also in your 2^nd (but direct from the 15^th), and now Mercury in retro-shadiness in your 11^th from the 6^th.

Any decisions or commitments made this week will stick. This can also bring you rewards and offers thanks to the Sun in your 10^th and its trine to Saturn (4^th). An alternative path may open up and if it does – do take it. As this is the direction your future now lies. Plus – you’ve earned it.

Old friends may feature during Mercury’s upcoming retrocycle. Expect reachouts and reunions. However, if your paths have now diverged, this may turn into a final farewell. You may have one final catch-up and then decide to part ways. If you do still share the same resonance, you’re set for the long haul. However, something or someone shows that the connection isn’t future proof around the 9^th. You could discover you no longer share the same values. Or that lover hasn’t got your back after all. Pluto’s having a final clear out so expect casulalties. But looked at another way – this simply makes room for the new.

In a nutshell: You are now days away from Pluto’s re-entry. Your choices are now set for the long term. But if anything shows you it’s not as future-proof as you thought, it’s time to let it go. Choose what you take into your future with you. Or who.

PISCES

Be ready to act on revelation

What you intuitively know is real

Now you see it, Pisces!

The word ‘Epiphany’ is underused these days. It’s lusciously lucid and conveys so much illumination and awakening of potential. It’s that ‘Ah-ha!’ moment of discovery. A soul surety that comes with following our hearts. And a golden opportunity all rolled into one.

Epiphanies are simple and clear. They don’t need translation. And they are impossible to miss. They are a ray of light cutting through confusion. And showing us the way ahead or a clear choice. Yours is gold plated thanks to the Sun in your 9^th shining on Saturn in your sign with its rings of gold on the 4^th. The same day as Mars twists your work or daily lifestyle in a new way as it appears in your 6^th.

Mars is slowing down and will retrograde next month. Saturn and Neptune are retro in your sign but Saturn shifts forward on the 15^th. Uranus is backwards in your 3^rd, old ruler Jupiter in your 4^th and now Mercury enters pre-retro in your 10^th from the 6^th. Having seen it or accepted it, you now enter the period of acceptance and adjustment that follows.

Needless to say, this can be a solution or opportunity you can’t afford to say no to. Others may object if acceptance means you opt for a different choice to those you’ve made in the past. Or if you moving forward requires them to adjust accordingly. However, you are unlikely to allow this to hold you back. If you’re honest, you’ve been ready and waiting for that chance to appear for a while. Don’t allow anything to stop you acting on revelation this week.

In a nutshell: Wisdom from ‘the other side’ or a moment of pure enlightenment has you seeing things very differently this week. It opens up a golden opportunity. Or solution for you. Sometimes the miracle is just a shift in our perspective. You’ll never see things the same way again.
