Following last week’s intense New Moon in Scorpio, the week ahead brings a distinct shift in tone. Both Mercury and Mars have moved from water into fire signs, signalling a period of increased action and forward momentum. The waxing crescent Moon builds towards the first quarter phase by the end of the week, accompanied by a harmonious Sun trine Saturn aspect. Together, these influences bring steady, supportive energy for productive, forward movement.
After the heightened astrological activity of recent weeks, this week provides a quieter, less intense week—a welcome break and a chance to gather momentum before another shift next week, which brings a potentially dynamic and disruptive Full Moon in Taurus.
Weekly Astro Highlights
Ongoing Influences
Mars-Pluto Opposition The exact opposition between Mars and Pluto may have peaked over the weekend, but its effects linger throughout the week. This powerful alignment between Mars in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn maintains an atmosphere charged with potential tension, hidden dynamics, and power struggles. As these planets occupy the final degrees of their respective signs, this transit can bring unresolved conflicts to the surface, highlighting themes of control and transformation.
Looking Ahead: Mars will activate this point again in early January and April 2025, with future oppositions occurring in the Leo-Aquarius axis, hinting at similar challenges but with a different tone.
Monday, 4th November
Sun in Scorpio trine Saturn in Pisces
A stabilising influence, this trine between the Sun and Saturn encourages a measured, grounded approach. The energy is supportive yet somewhat isolating, making it a good day for introspection, strategic planning, and bolstering inner strength. This aspect provides the structure needed to move steadily towards goals and can help ground any lingering intensity from the Mars-Pluto opposition.
Saturday, 9th November
Venus in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces
A day for creativity, relaxation, and possibly a bit of escapism, as Venus squares Neptune. This dreamy, mystical aspect enhances the allure of romance, art, and fantasy, though it may also create confusion or create over idealisation in relationships. Ideal for artistic pursuits or spiritual exploration, it’s best to avoid decisions requiring clarity and concrete planning on this day.
Looking Ahead
The week is relatively calm, allowing for steady progress and grounded reflection. However, the upcoming Full Moon in Taurus promises to bring surprises and perhaps some instability. This makes the current week an ideal time to recharge and prepare for a period of change and realignment next week.
