The Cosmic Connection

Rising sign horoscopes for Nov. 20-25

Aries: Slow down this week, Aries. The undertones of your being are beckoning you to feel into your subconscious parts. Be present in the void; your eyes will adjust to the unknown, and you will see what wants to surface.

Taurus: Partnerships and friendships are due for an evaluation. Be honest with yourself about what underlies the ties that bind. Surrender attachments no longer serving you to clear space for someone or something new.

Gemini: The energy is ripe for starting something that will stoke the flow of regeneration in your daily life, work, and finances. The adages “old habits die hard” and “health is wealth” are both applicable.

Cancer: Be real with yourself about your deepest desires and sense of satisfaction. Fulfillment may be a big theme this week. Scan the horizon for a new adventure, perhaps “Eat, Pray, Love”-style, tailored to your needs.

Leo: Alignment in your domicile takes precedence this week. Emotional support, safety, and privacy are important in your own space. Identify incongruencies, plan accordingly, and ask for assistance if necessary.

Virgo: Your thoughts and words hold tremendous power. Consider reframes and rephrases that can convey your intentions more effectively. A simple flip of the internal script can have a great impact externally.

Libra: Call in the emotional baggage handler this week; an excavation is overdue! Take inventory of your resources, belongings, and “stuff.” Part with anything holding an emotional charge that drags you down.

Scorpio: It’s a shedding-skins kind of week for you, Scorpio. Some soul-searching is in order. Growth requires some form of release and surrender, and molting precedes a beautiful rebirth. Harness your inner phoenix!

Sagittarius: Your relationship to the liminal is calling your attention. The target is how you can strike a better balance between what you can see and what you can only intuit. Blind spots can be seen when you’re ready.

Capricorn: There’s an important dynamic between your local surroundings and your greater community. Getting more involved and networking in your community can improve your immediate surroundings, and vice versa.

Aquarius: The energy is primed for a big transformation in your professional life. Seize the opportunity if it’s already available, or plant the seeds for something more supportive if it has yet to be manifested.

Pisces: Beliefs or perspectives rooted in the conditioned or outdated can be shifted. An unexpected shakeup creates the element of surprise required for the shift. Being open and receptive is up to you.

Weekly astrology summary:

Cue up the song “The Times They Are A-Changin’” by Bob Dylan as this week’s anthem! There’s a double-header invitation for big change early on Nov. 20, with the Scorpio new moon (exact at 1:47 a.m.) followed only a few hours later by the beginning of the next Mercury cycle and the midpoint of the current Mercury retrograde. Incredibly potent seeds filled with transformative and regenerative energies are planted deeply at this time, fertilized by the omnipresent cosmic waters as well as the social and outer planets holding the space. Sagittarius season begins on Nov. 21 with the sun’s annual standoff to wily Uranus, blending the intensity of Scorpio with the Sagittarian quest for meaning. Is the emotional root of our personal and collective aspirations and beliefs based on truth or an illusion? It’s an important inquiry to ponder as we move into an extraordinary week!
