Sometimes you have to slow down in order to speed up, and this week is one of those weeks.
With two major planets slowing to a glacial pace, progress will be minimal, but the conversations that arise will be potent. Intimacy, responsibility and long-term plans are all up for discussion, so with Mercury—the planet of communication—still in retrograde, be mindful in your interactions.
Elsewhere, a much longer storyline that’s been serving “tough but necessary” lessons also gets some airtime.
Look out for the not-so-subtle cosmic road signs pointing to that thing you’ve been trying to work out—the solution is almost in sight, but it won’t necessarily be straightforward. Let all the detours have taught you something, and above all, trust that what slows now is simply clearing the way for what will soon pick up pace.
Horoscopes for the week of November 24-30, 2025:
ARIES AND ARIES RISING
There’s a push-pull to this week that could feel a little frustrating for Aries folks. You’re caught between the fire of Sagittarius season’s “let’s get on with it” and two bigger issues taking your eye off the ball. The biggest challenge will be remembering to walk before you can run, as issues beyond your control force you to take things much slower than you’d like.
The good news? By the weekend, things will be moving in the right direction. Be patient—or at the very least, try.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
Hot on the heels of last week’s new moon, the deep thinking continues this week. As you work through the final days of Mercury retrograde, the issues that have been weighing heavily on your mind reach a flashpoint. Friday is the day when things will feel their most heightened, but resolution is definitely creeping closer.
Uncomfortable though it may be, there’s no easy way around this; you will have to go through it before you can embrace what’s waiting on the other side.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
A lot is going on for Gemmies this week. As Mercury slows to a crawl, you could be especially susceptible to that end-of-year lethargy. Foresight is everything, so rather than trying to push through, do what you can to keep your schedule low-key and manage your expectations around productivity accordingly.
In other news, a significant story arc that’s been unfolding for almost three years could get an intriguing new development. If it feels like a setback, know that this is one of the final big moments for this story, and you are now entering the home stretch.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
As the skies deliver several “reduce speed” signs, there’s only one way to move with this week’s vibe: take it easy and don’t be hasty. The final days of Mercury retrograde point to a decidedly reflective mood, and you’ll be hard-pressed not to get lost in thought.
So what’s taking up all your energy? The most likely culprit is an old flame or flirtation sliding into your DMs, or maybe just your daydreams or worries. Be careful not to get lost in thinking. If ever there was a week to zone out in a meeting, this is it (consider yourself warned!)
LEO AND LEO RISING
That newfound resolve to shake things up and turn over a new leaf (fresh from last week’s new moon) is still very much in motion. But, true to form, the goal posts may already be moving. With the final week of Mercury retrograde signalling a few final days of ambiguity, getting a start on your long-term plans will be easier said than done. What seemed like an airtight idea last Thursday might now need more work.
Before the weekend, there are also some heavy realisations to be had—possibly around cash. It’s a pivotal moment to be honest about how you approach big-money stuff, so pay attention.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
Get ready, Virgos, it’s going to be a momentous—and somewhat muddled—week. With your ruling planet slowing to a crawl, even the most disciplined Virgos will be tempted to hit the snooze button. With the final days of Mercury retrograde ramping up around all things tech, it’s got the potential for textbook retrograde hijinks (think: files disappearing, presentations freezing, and cars breaking down).
By the weekend, things start to improve, but for the most part, you’ll be treading water. Around the end of the week, look for a pivotal moment in a relationship story that’s been dragging on since 2023; it will be hard to miss.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
Sagittarius season may be well underway, but your mind is far from party season. Instead, your thoughts are still firmly on last week’s developments. As you tiptoe through the final days of Mercury retrograde, cash remains a core concern. Last week you decided to try something different, now this week, you’re questioning whether that was such a good idea after all? Don’t panic, the wobbles are all part of the process.
In other news, Saturn’s station at the end of the week delivers another grown-up nudge around a longer-term storyline. If you were looking for a reminder to go get that blood test or book a skin check, this is it.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
While communications remain tense with key people in your life—potentially your other half if you’re in a relationship—the good news this week is that there’s some light at the end of the tunnel. With the retrograde wrapping up by the weekend, there’ll be some forward movement in your near future. It may feel like forever, but you just need to persevere through this week. Progress is slow and the potential for crossed wires is significant, so manage your time—and any crucial meetings—accordingly.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
There’s a failure-to-launch sort of feeling to this week, which could feel annoying given your home season is officially underway. As the last days of Mercury retrograde stir up self-doubt and a general restlessness, you could feel just a bit out of sorts.
At the same time, a turning point or development around something significant, possibly around where you’re living or your family connections, could also pull focus. Be prepared for some D&Ms, and you won’t be disappointed.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
As a sign famous for living and dying by their word, when friends let you down, it can sting a bit. This is one of those weeks where someone in your circle could say one thing, then do another. It’s disappointing, but at the end of the day, they’re human, and we can never fully know the whole picture of what might be going on to cause the letdown.
In other news, a development involving family—especially siblings if you have them—could reach a turning point in a longer-term plot that’s felt like a bit of a burden over the past couple of years.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
The lines were drawn last week, and this week, the action continues. As you reach the flashpoint in what has been a very spicy retrograde, things are going to get more dramatic before they calm down.
You’re also multi-tasking another hot potato, this one, an ongoing thorn in your side that’s been causing you grief since 2023. There’s some big, heavy stuff to navigate, but it’s all very necessary to graduate to the next level of what the sky has planned for you.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
It’s a big week for fishies as you start the epilogue to what has been an especially challenging nearly three-year period. With Saturn—the planet that delivers tough love and uncomfortable but necessary lessons—grinding to a halt at the end of the week, the mood is one of consequence. Stuff is getting real, but it absolutely needs to before you can get on with what’s beyond this very long, possibly uncomfortable detour you’ve been taking.
Trust the process and lean in when the opportunity to be honest arises. Now is not the time to mince your words.
