Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday. Turn back your clocks one hour at 2:00 am but not in Arizona (outside of the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii that do not observe Daylight Saving Time.
The Last Quarter Moon in Leo is on Tuesday, the day of the decisive blow to determine who will lead the USA as its President for four more years. When the Moon is waning in Leo, it urges us to take special care of ourselves as well as the children in our life. Projects of interest are sometimes considered children too. If there is a hobby of special interest to you, take the time to brighten and enliven this work that represents your own talent and self-reflection.
Tuesday will be a day of mixed messages, confusion and an absolute standstill of our thoughts as Mercury will go retrograde in the middle of the election hours. This sort of confusion will raise a lot of questions as to the accuracy and legitimacy of the count of the votes. Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius (until November 26) promotes a lot of frustration with regard to communications mishaps and misunderstandings in the realm of passionate subjects. Expect to repeat yourself more than once or twice and be persistent as well as patient during this time.
Venus is trine Jupiter. Valuable and inspiring gifts of love and affection come with this aspect. Love (Venus) is harmoniously placed with prosperity and opportunity (Jupiter). Venus in Libra trine Jupiter in Gemini brings well-balanced and kind expressions of love and affection which may lead to adaptable and sociable displays of richness and prosperity. This is a great time to give gifts of love, and for many, it offers an expansive outlook of love’s power. Getting ahead in life, in this case, has everything to do with appreciating and loving those areas of life in which we want to expand and prosper. A positive outlook can help make this happen.

Free Weekly Horoscope for your Sign
Aries (19 March – 19 April) Element: Fire Planet: Mars Symbol: Ram Stone: Ruby
Aries: There is a slightly crazy feel to this week, which could be to your liking if you’re one of those drama loving rams. However, you may reach a point where you’ve had enough of all the excitement and just want some peace and quiet. At this stage, it will be beneficial if you can have some quiet time alone, either to rest or to engage in quiet contemplation so that you can locate the source of any discord. This is especially relevant if you find that your relations with others become unsettled, as they could be a source of either excitement of angst. Either way, it may help to count to ten before you react. You may land yourself in hot water if you are too impulsive or impatient. As Mercury turns retrograde on Tuesday, it will become even more important to slow down and take the rest that you need.
Taurus: Have you ever watched a lid rattling about on a pan of boiling water? Can you see any connection between yourself and the boiling pan of water? Like the lid on the pan, you may feel that something’s going to blow at any minute. You may or may not be aware of what is bubbling away within you. The chances are that some negative emotion is simmering below your consciousness, making it difficult to know why you feel angry, irritable, frustrated, or upset, but if you listen to your feelings, they will point the way forward. Whatever you do, don’t try to further suppress any emotion that is trying to find its way to the surface. Once you have expressed the emotion –and in order to do this you’ll need to let go of being in control –then you will feel much better One thing’s for sure: you can’t carry on pretending that everything’s okay so be honest about how you feel, and then you can take steps to change things.
Gemini (20 May – 20 June) Element: Air Ruling Planet: Mercury Symbol: Twins Stone: Aquamarine
Gemini: As a Gemini, you know a lot about the masks people wear, for even if you yourself manage to avoid playing emotional games, you seem to attract people who do. This week, as Mercury turns retrograde and heads back through your relationship zone, it may seem that other people are playing games and you can’t separate the truth from the lies. It may also be that you feel like you’ve made a mistake yourself and could have benefited from more emotional honesty. Not to worry! We always get a second chance, and Mercury retrograde is your opportunity to sort unfinished business, heal a rift, and gain greater understanding about your own motives or the motives of others.
Cancer (20 June – 22 July) Element: Water Planet: Moon Symbol: Crab Stone: Moonstone
Cancer: The big question for you right now is: Are you happy with the way in which you spend your days? If you are, you can skip this forecast and go on to next week. However, if you feel that you are in any way compromising yourself in an attempt to keep others happy or because there are fears or blocks getting in the way of your doing what you would really like to do, then now is the time to be very honest with yourself. As Mercury begins to turn retrograde, this is your cue to go with your intuition about what feels right, especially with regard to work, service, or your daily life and routines. If you follow your passion, you won’t go far wrong.
Leo (22 July – 22 August) Element: Fire Planet: Sun Symbol: Lion Stone: Peridot
Leo: When was the last time you stopped and took time out? When have you taken enough time so that you can completely rest and rejuvenate and see yourself and your life from a new perspective? If you’re feeling exhausted or beginning to wonder what it’s all about, or if problems are beginning to get on top of you, then maybe you need some time away from the daily grind. Even if your particular daily grind is interesting and fulfilling, it may be that you’ve been wrapped up in it for so long you’ve begun to lose sight of other important aspects of your life. As Mercury begins to turn on his heels, it’s time for you to question one or two things and to begin to make some space for yourself so you can rediscover yourself and what is important to you.
Virgo: Mercury seems to play havoc with people’s lives when he goes backward, and since he is your ruling planet –combined with the fact that he is heading back to the area of your chart governing travel, transport and communication –he is liable to have a more noticeable effect on you than normal. Act immediately and make some space in your schedule and promise yourself that you won’t rush or get in a flap or try to cram in too many appointments, journeys, or whatever else constitutes "busy-ness." In the spaces you create, allow your mind to be still so that you can receive the positive side of retrograde Mercury, which is inspiration and insight. Your awareness will increase if you are able to quiet your mind, and it may be that you receive a valuable insight into some important area of your life. If you need to make a decision, it’s even more important that you adopt a slow and steady pace over the next few weeks so that you have the clarity to make your choices from a place of peace. You are likely to notice Mercury calling your attention to home or family matters, so it is important to give some thought to these areas, especially if all isn’t harmonious.
Libra (22 September – 22 October) Element: Air Planet: Venus Symbol: Scales Stone: Opal
Libra: The challenge this week is to keep your thoughts positive. We all know by now that the essence of our predominant thoughts and feelings is what makes up the fabric of our reality. Sometimes, however, we need reminding of this metaphysical law, especially when challenges present themselves, and this could be a week when life runs anything but smoothly. Mercury is coming to a standstill in your mind and your communication zone, making this a potentially irritating time as frustrating hurdles or blockages present themselves, but this will only be the case if you maintain your usual pace and try to cram too much into your days. Mercury retrograde asks you to slow right down, to relax and chill out, to be philosophical and view all of life’s events as messages. Instead of complaining or feeling upset, try to adopt a grateful or even celebratory state of mind with whatever happens this week. In other words, look for the good in all your situations and don’t be afraid of change in your personal life. It may be part of a growth inducing process and could serve as a reminder that your life is meant to be constantly evolving.
Scorpio (22 October – 21 November) Element: Water Planet: Pluto Symbol: Scorpion Stone: Topaz
Scorpio: A Scorpio without a purpose is a sorry sight. More than any other sign, you need something to devote yourself to. It could be a person, your family, a cause, or your work, but you need something to feel passionate about. The trouble with devoting yourself to people, noble as that is, is that relationships change, children grow up and relationships move on. And now that Saturn has entered your sign, it is vitally important that you re-evaluate your purpose. Are you fulfilled with your life as it stands, or do you need something to dedicate yourself to? Are you making full use of your talents and abilities? Is there something more you could do? It’s time to stop putting off the changes that will improve your life. As Mercury turns retrograde and makes his way back into your sign, you will gain a lot by making time to contemplate who you are and what you want.
Sagittarius (21 November – 21 December) Element: Fire Planet: Jupiter Symbol: Archer Stone: Turquoise
Sagittarius: One of the great things about having Mars in your sign is that it gives you a boost of energy and makes you feel like you could take on the world. The downside is that it increases your levels of irritation and impatience and thus makes you more inclined to get into disputes with others. If you’re currently feeling isolated or if you’ve not been getting on so well with someone, it might be time to slow down a little –after all, Mercury is turning retrograde in your sign –and ask yourself whether your current lifestyle is working for you. Whatever reasons you have for staying in a situation that might not be good for you, are only your perceptions, not absolute truth, and you could therefore choose to see things differently. At the end of it all, remember that the best way to dissolve tense, stressful situations, is to remember your wonderful sense of humor and make sure you enjoy all that you are.
Capricorn: All may not be what it seems this week, so don’t be too quick to jump to conclusions or to take things at face value. There is an element of things being hidden, so you may need patience and a little detective skill to get to the truth. If you suspect someone isn’t being entirely straight with you, make sure that you can’t be manipulated or taken advantage of. It could, however, be a breakdown in communication or someone "forgetting" to mention something you consider important. There is also the possibility that you’re not being entirely straight with yourself, and you may need the courage to admit something either to yourself or another. There is a strong chance that any mysteries or confusion relate to past patterns that are now ready for release. Try letting go of any negative patterns that may be tripping you up, or try acknowledging that any problems with others may have begun a long time ago and this issue is now ready for healing. Once you’ve done the necessary releasing, you will find that you have a clearer sense of where you’re going.
Aquarius (20 January – 18 February) Element: Air Planet: Uranus Symbol: Water Bearer Stone: Amethyst
Aquarius: It is important to be honest with yourself about your future. Are you trying to move forward with something that doesn’t seem to want to move forward? Perhaps it’s time to go back to the drawing board, or to consider whether you have an underlying belief that is stopping you from moving forward with something. If you are trying to implement a new vision, remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day and often it’s a case of baby steps until the thing begins to take shape. Don’t be afraid of entering the void, as this is where creativity and inspiration are found. Sit with any uncomfortable feelings and see if you can describe them. You may find that the feeling you have –whether it’s confusion, fear, frustration or whatever –will lead you to a point of enlightenment if you go into it.
Pisces (18 February – 19 March) Element: Water Planet: Neptune Symbol: Fish Stone: Bloodstone
Pisces: Is it time to rethink your direction or have another look at a plan or big idea? As Mercury begins to slow down and turn retrograde on Tuesday, you might find that one or two hurdles are placed on your path. This may happen for reasons that you only become aware of later, but for the time being, take notice of any "stop signs." The general theme of the week is allowing things to be, whether that’s people, your relationships, family dynamics or your plans for the future. Just because you are able to accept people and things as they are doesn’t mean that you should give up hope for change, yet ironically, when we reach a point of acceptance, things often magically change anyway. Remember that for this week at least, what you resist, will persist.
