[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of November 18-24

There are some big changes happening this week. Normal bite size changes like the Sun moving into a new sign but also the first of the outer planets moving into their new long term home - next year we get a little taste test of all of the others (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus) moving and in 2026 it’s a whole new astrological paradigm. 

These shifts can impact how you navigate routines, potentially affecting focus and energy levels. Staying adaptable and finding ways to work with changing circumstances will be increasingly important.

Monday 11/18

• ☽ ▻ Cancer | 3:49 am eastern
• ☿ at 18° 47‘ Sagittarius ☍ ♃ at 18° 47‘ Gemini  | 3:55 am eastern
•  ☽ at 08° 34‘ Cancer ☍ ♀︎ at 08° 34‘ Capricorn | 6:35 pm eastern
• ☉ at 27° 13‘ Scorpio △ ♆ at 27° 13‘ Pisces  | 9:07 pm eastern

Monday brings a mix of expansive thinking and dreamy inspiration, but balancing big ideas with practical follow-through will be key. 

Clear communication could be tricky as enthusiasm and ambition might get in the way of reality or clarity, so double-check details before committing to decisions or plans. 

• Best for: Expanding your perspective, brainstorming ambitious ideas, and tackling intellectual or ideological challenges.
• Potential Challenges: Overcommitting or becoming overconfident; getting lost in lofty ideas that lack practical grounding.

Tuesday 11/19

• ☽ at 12° 24‘ Cancer ☉ at 27° 24‘ Scorpio | 1:16 am eastern
• ☽ at 12° 42‘ Cancer △ ♄ at 12° 42‘ Pisces | 1:47 am eastern
• ♇  ▻ Aquarius | 3:39 pm eastern
• ☽ at 25° 06‘ Cancer ✳ ♅ at 25° 06‘ Taurus | 11:55 pm eastern

Tuesday we have the ordinary and the extraordinary. 

The main vibe of the day is one that focuses  on emotional clarity and steady progress, with opportunities to balance reflection and practical action. Unexpected shifts might pop up, offering an opportunity to approach ongoing challenges with fresh insights.

• Best for: Strengthening emotional foundations, organizing long-term goals, and exploring creative solutions to practical challenges.
• Potential Challenges: Resistance to necessary change or overanalyzing decisions, which could slow progress.

Then there is the extraordinary. Pluto moves into Aquarius at 3:39 pm eastern where he will be until March 8, 2043 - but he won’t really be fully out of Aquarius until January 19, 2044. That’s twenty years of transformation in a brand new area of life. 

There was a little preview of this during:

• March 23, 2023 - June 11, 2023
• January 20, 2024 - September 01, 2024

With Pluto in Aquarius a focus on disciplined structure and clear boundaries emerges, supporting the reevaluation of long-standing ideals and systems. 

This period emphasizes maintaining order and stability while navigating challenges tied to authority and resistance to change.

Best for: Developing structured plans, reassessing long-term goals with detachment, and fostering stability through disciplined effort.

• This could manifest as creating long-term strategies that rely on consistency, refining existing frameworks, or implementing measured changes to systems in your personal or professional life.

Potential Challenges: Shifts in authority or systemic structures may create tension, requiring careful navigation to balance established order with emerging demands for change.

• You may encounter resistance to relinquishing control in situations where power dynamics are shifting, or feel the need to reconsider old patterns that no longer serve the current environment.

That’s a lot to take in, but understanding how this 20-year shift impacts your life can make all the difference. Inside The Crusade, you’ll find a detailed breakdown for each rising sign, giving you clarity on how to work with Pluto’s transformative energy. Join us to explore how this once-in-a-generation transit means for you.

Wednesday 11/20

• ☽ at 27° 13‘ Cancer △ ♆ at 27° 13‘ Pisces | 3:45 am eastern
• ☽ at 28° 37‘ Cancer △ ☉ at 28° 37‘ Scorpio | 6:20 am eastern
• ☽ V/C | 6:20 - 7:50 am eastern
• ☽ ▻ Leo | 7:50 am eastern
• ☽ at 00° 00‘ Leo ☍ ♇  at 00° 00‘ Aquarius | 8:52 am eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♂︎ at 04° 33‘ Leo | 5:15 pm eastern

Wednesday starts off deceptively chill but at 7:50 am eastern the Moon moves into Leo and things get feisty. 

There’s definitely an opportunity to take bold steps or address challenges directly, but power struggles and temper tantrums are equally likely.

• Best for: Directly addressing challenges, taking bold steps toward goals, and working through demanding tasks.
• Potential Challenges: Emotional intensity leading to conflicts; struggles with control or authority; acting impulsively without considering long-term consequences.

Thursday 11/21

• ☉ ▻ Sagittarius | 2:56 pm eastern
• ☉ at 00° 02‘ Sagittarius ✳ ♇ at 00° 02‘  Aquarius  | 2:59 pm eastern
• ☽ at 18° 21‘ Leo ✳ ♃ at 18° 21‘ Gemini | 7:20 pm eastern

Thursday brings an optimistic and forward-moving energy, making it a great time to focus on long-term plans and explore opportunities. 

Conversations and decisions may flow easily, but overconfidence could lead to overlooking important details.

• Best for: Expanding your vision, connecting with others, and focusing on goals with a broader perspective.
• Potential Challenges: Rushing into decisions or becoming distracted by overly ambitious ideas.

But that’s the general vibe. Then there is the Sun striding into Sagittarius. This marks a shift toward exploration, learning, and focusing on the bigger picture. 

With Mercury already in Sagittarius and in its retrograde shadow, the desire for rapid progress might clash with the need to review and refine, especially as Mercury retrograde approaches next week.

• Best for: Broadening your perspective, setting goals for the future, and reconnecting with your sense of purpose.
• Potential Challenges: Overlooking details in the rush to move forward or frustration with delays as plans require adjustment.

Friday 11/22

•  ☽ at 21° 35‘ Leo △ ☿ at 21° 35‘ Sagittarius | 1:36 am eastern
• ♀︎ at 12° 44‘ Capricorn ✳ ♄ at 12° 44‘ Pisces  | 6:55 am eastern
• ☽ at 25° 00‘ Leo □ ♅ at 25° 00‘ Taurus | 8:14 am eastern
• ☽ V/C | 8:14 am - 6:00 pm eastern
• ☽ ▻ Virgo | 6:00 pm eastern
• 🌗 Waning Quarter Moon | 8:27 pm eastern

Friday has a steady, practical vibe, especially in the morning, with an emphasis on building meaningful connections and focusing on long-term commitments.

However, there is a practically all day void Moon from 8:14 am to 6pm eastern which means it’s better for working through existing projects or relationship issues rather than starting new things.

• Best for: Strengthening connections through honest conversations, focusing on ongoing projects, and addressing relationship commitments with patience.
• Potential Challenges: Feeling unmotivated during the void Moon, struggling to start new initiatives, or frustration with delays in seeing immediate progress.

Saturday 11/23

• ☽ at 12° 45‘ Virgo ☍ ♄ at 12° 45‘ Pisces | 7:23 pm eastern
• ☽ at 14° 43‘ Virgo △ ♀︎ at 14° 43‘ Capricorn | 11:21 pm eastern 

Saturday is serious and focused with responsibilities and obligations in full view. While practicality and diligence are definitely emphasized, there are also opportunities for finding support and beauty in the day.

• Best for: Tackling responsibilities with focus; finding support in relationships or collaborative efforts.
• Potential Challenges: Feeling emotionally restricted or isolated; struggling with self-imposed pressure or high expectations.

Sunday 11/24

• ☽ at 18° 02‘ Virgo □ ♃ at 18° 02‘ Gemini | 6:03 am eastern
• ☽ at 22° 32‘ Virgo □ ☿ at 22° 32‘ Sagittarius | 3:10 pm eastern
• ☽ at 24° 54‘ Virgo △ ♅ at 24° 54‘ Taurus | 7:58 pm eastern

Sunday is dynamic but scattered. While there’s potential for creative problem-solving and creative insights, misunderstandings or overestimations of ability (or capacity) could lead to frustration if details are overlooked.

• Best for: Finding innovative solutions; revisiting plans with a focus on practicality; tapping into creative ideas grounded in realistic frameworks.
• Potential Challenges: Miscommunication or confusion in conversations; overcommitting to tasks without considering limitations; difficulty staying focused amid competing priorities.

Until next time, my wish for you is the freedom to run wild. -Robin💋
