WEEK OF November 17 - 23, 2025

Patience, Leo! Not everything will unfold according to your timeline for the next week and a half, and forewarned IS forearmed. On Tuesday, November 18, messenger Mercury, who’s been retrograde in Sagittarius and your playful and flirty fifth house since November 9, backflips into Scorpio and your domestic fourth. That’s a cosmic nudge to manage your expectations and keep your enthusiasm in check until November 29. Consider this a warning to slow down and pay closer attention. Withdraw into your home base, guard your personal sanctuary and resist letting everyone who needs a couch crash at your place. Simmering family tension could erupt over household drama, and the tiniest spark might detonate. Mercury retrograde specializes in baffling miscommunications. Reduce confusion by being ultra-clear in all your exchanges, whether written or spoken. Before any long trip, triple-check your reservations and itinerary. The upside? Retrogrades reconnect you with old friends, colleagues and former lovers who pop up without warning. If someone who hurt you resurfaces, don’t convince yourself things would work out differently this time.

Embrace hibernation mode, Leo. You’ll cherish whatever quiet time you can capture this Thursday, when the annual new moon in Scorpio lights up your fourth house of home and sanctuary. With major planetary action in this zone, focus on elevating your living space. Declutter, reorganize and inject fresh energy into your personal space. Maybe you’ll finally tackle that renovation or invest in furniture that makes everything feel more welcoming. Buying property? Your home foundation needs attention now, whether you’re moving or staying put. This is where you recharge, so get comfortable with your feet up and a cozy blanket wrapped around you. Before knocking down walls or choosing paint colors, clarify exactly what you want from your space. Let this moon illuminate your domestic world and resist pressure to rush major decisions.

Romantic reboot! Your ruler, the energizing Sun, enters fiery Sagittarius on Friday, igniting your passionate fifth house until December 21. This solar power surge becomes a 2025 love life highlight, empowering you to make some bold moves. Sagittarius’ worldly influence might inspire you to book that trip to see the Northern Lights that you’ve fantasized about. Coupled up? Secure a pre-holiday getaway, even just a weekend at a nearby Airbnb. Whatever your status, your magnetism returns with force. Use this energy for celebration and self-expression, letting your fashionista emerge. Move statement pieces to the front of your closet. With your fame zone activated, your superstar self is ready to shine. A dramatic hair transformation could revolutionize your look, but wait until Mercury retrograde ends on November 29 to avoid regrets. Heed Mercury-retrograde travel alerts, too—don’t schedule tight connections or reserve sketchy accommodations.
