The Calm Before Mercury Retrograde: Weekend Horoscopes For November 9-11

Jupiter moves into Sagittarius this weekend. Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so you could say the planet is happiest at home. Jupiter in Sagittarius brings pretty good vibes for your social life. Your general demeanor will be cheerful and friendly—at least on the inside. If you have a bad case of RBF, it might be a little harder for others to tell that Jupiter is putting you in a good mood. Let’s be honest, with Mercury retrograde right around the corner, we could all use a little pick-me-up. Here are your weekend horoscopes for November 9-11:

Aries

The Sagittarius moon will fuel your curious spirit this weekend. Anything that’s different or outside your comfort zone will be alluring. So maybe you wouldn’t normally talk to a guy in Birkenstocks, but you could be overcome by the power of curiosity and end up smelling like patchouli on a walk of shame. That might be a little extreme, but, hey, trying something new could really pay off for you.

Taurus

This weekend, it’s okay to give something or someone a second chance. That guy you had a nice time with on a date but never heard from again? Maybe he actually did get busy with work and reconnecting with him after a run-in at the bar could lead to good things. I mean, this is an example of an exception and not the rule when it comes to getting ghosted, but for the weekend, go ahead and suspend your cynicism and give things another go.

Gemini

Time to make up that split little Gemini mind of yours. With the moon and serious Saturn in your intense eighth house, decision-making becomes a lot easier. That’s great news for those of us who spend an insane amount of time picking an outfit for a night out. Tell your friends/boyfriend/Uber driver to thank Saturn for its help in actually making you ready on time for something for once.

Cancer

Last week was a little rough for many Cancers. Yikes. Things are getting better for you before they get worse right around the start of Mercury retrograde in the middle of the month. So I guess that’s sort of good news, right? Anyway, this weekend, the Sagittarius moon makes you orderly.  Do your laundry, pay your bills, make sure you have toilet paper and tampons, and stock the fridge with necessities. You don’t know what Mercury retrograde will bring your way, so it’s best you get your house in order now.

Leo

Jupiter traveling through Sagittarius for the next 13 months does great things for your heart and your vagina. Starting this weekend, it’s an ideal time to launch a relationship or rev up the romance in your current one. So go ahead, relaunch those dating apps. Start asking your older coworkers if they have a hot nephew they want to set you up with. The time to act is now, betch. Shave your legs and get your ass out there on the market.

Virgo

It’s time to put your money where your mouth is when it comes to showing someone else you care. In a relationship, you can get comfortable letting the guy pay for all the sh*t all the time. That’s fine, but sometimes ya boi needs a little pampering too. Splurge for the couples massage this weekend or just offer to buy his coffee. I mean, it’s really and literally a small price to pay when trying to trap him into marrying you.

Libra

This weekend, not only will you be in good spirits, others around you will also be overcome by your positivity as to not ruin your good vibes. Sagittarius is in your chatty third house, meaning you’ll be talkative and social. For the best weekend possible, though, don’t schedule yourself out too much, Make room for people to drop by, for you to run into friends or meet up casually for brunch. The best things in life are a little unexpected anyway, aren’t they?

Scorpio

It’s definitely fine for you to be your little secretive Scorpio self this weekend, especially when it comes to romance. Whether you have a blossoming flirtation or a long-term relationship, you don’t need to Carrie Bradshaw it and blast your business all about town. Instead, keep things private. No one needs to know how rough you like it as a couple or about that thing he did last night. I mean, someone might like to know, but it’s cool to hold on to the info for a while.

Sagittarius

Jupiter entered your sign Thursday and will hang out there for the next 13 months. This is, like, really good for you. Jupiter is at home in your sign, meaning you’ll find your place in the world and really hit your stride in your chosen path. Doors will open to streamline the realization of your dreams. Now’s the time to post your first vlog or open your Etsy store or CBD oil retailer, or, you know, apply for a job that pays you an actual salary and provides health insurance. Your choice, really. But now is the best time to follow those dreams, girl!

Capricorn

Jupiter in Sagittarius for the next 13 months has a pretty great effect on you. You stop letting the little things from holding you back. No more excuses for the Capricorn betch. As for this weekend, you’ll want to keep it pretty low-key. You’re not being lazy or hiding out, you just need some time on your own to refocus and re-energize for the week ahead. Likewise, with Mercury retrograde on the horizon, you could use a weekend of chill.

Aquarius

Some signs are encouraged to relax this weekend, let the chips fall where they may. Aquarius is not one of those signs. In fact, you’ll have your best weekend when you plan for the party. Make arrangements to go out, meet up with friends, have friends at your place, whatever. Since a lot of other signs are keeping their schedules wide open, they’ll appreciate the invite from you. That works in your favor too. Be the hostess with the mostest this weekend and you’ll see the best kind of invites roll in when you need them to during the holiday season.

Pisces

This weekend, you might not be physically active, but your mind sure is plotting and planning to make big moves later on. Being a little introspective this weekend is fine, especially considering that Jupiter in Sagittarius for the next 13 months is in your career zone. You’ll have more opportunities to add clients or projects or side hustles. You’ll find it easier to gain recognition for your expertise and may experience a lucky break that takes your career to the next level. I mean, it’s like, kind of tiring to even think about how busy you’re going to be over the next year, but you’ll survive and be even better for it.

Wait, Is It Still Halloween? Weekend Horoscopes For November 2-4

Are you nursing a Halloween hangover or gearing up for round two? The Moon in Virgo this weekend pushes you to look for the structured and comfortable things in life, while also making you keenly aware of details. Likewise, a Venus-Neptune connection makes it hard to determine the truth. Is he not texting you back because he’s actually busy or is it because he’s over it? Are you lazy or are sweatpants actually acceptable day-wear now? Let’s be honest with ourselves this weekend, no matter what sh*t Venus and Neptune are trying to pull. Here are your weekend horoscopes for November 2-4:

Aries

This is a weekend for maintenance. So, yeah, appease your dad and take your car in for service or to have the tires checked or whatever happens at those places. The Virgo Moon will help you discover and take care of any errors in your system. You know, like helping you finally see that weird patch of hair on the back of your thigh that you’ve been missing with a razor for the past two months. Oops.

Taurus

This weekend, the Venus-Neptune connection helps you realize that, single or not, a relationship is not going to help you solve all your problems. It’s time for you as a sensible, logical Taurus betch to start working on solving your own problems. Practice some independence. Instead of waiting for someone to text back about giving you a ride, order your own damn Lyft. Make plans with your friends instead of waiting for a guy to ask you if you want to do something this weekend. As Fleetwood Mac would say, it’s time you go your own way.

Gemini

An important discussion will take place this weekend, and it’s vital that you actually listen to what the other person has to say instead of thinking about when it’s going to be your turn to talk. In fact, the conversation may not be headed in the direction you assumed. So, like, put down your phone and pay some attention to the situation at hand. You don’t want to mess this one up. I promise.

Cancer

It might feel like you’re between a rock and a hard place in deciding how you want to spend your time this weekend. Like, on one hand, you have all this fun sh*t you want to do that will make you happy. On the other hand, you have a person or people guilting encouraging you to do stuff that feels more like an obligation than a choice. Work on setting some realistic boundaries. You can give, like, one full hour to listening to your friend cry after a breakup, but then you both need to move on.

Leo

You’ve had this problem lately where you allow little inconveniences to ruin your whole day. It might feel like you’ve been in a funk of one bad thing happening after another. This is unlike you! As a Leo betch, you’re used to powering through problems like the confident badass you truly are. This weekend, it’s time to refocus that negative energy. Any speed bump needs to just be plowed over. Be upset about it for, like, two seconds and then move the eff on.

Virgo

This weekend, it’s best to keep it simple. Your horoscope indicates you could be having a deep discussion. As a Virgo, sometimes you can get too caught up in the abstract when trying to convey how you feel. Dumb it down a little. Also, with the Moon in your sign, you’re prone to being more sensitive to the feelings of others. That’s super useful because you’ll know how to read and respond to every situation perfectly.

Libra

It’s time to expect the unexpected, especially when it comes to relationships. Your date may not be what you bargained for. Like, is this even the same person from the pictures on the app? WTF?! Don’t panic. Sometimes it’s best to go with the flow and let yourself be pleasantly surprised. More likely, though, you can just chalk this up to experience and remind yourself to never go on a date with someone you haven’t Snapchatted or stalked sufficiently on social media.

Scorpio

Jupiter is in your sign this weekend, giving you the strength to forgive. That might sound totally lame, but it could come in handy. No one wants to be known as the girl who carries a grudge. Instead of icing out Katilin for totally copying your costume idea or plotting revenge on Regina for kissing your crush at the Halloween party, it’s best to let bygones be bygones. Move the f*ck on so you can use your energy for more important things, like coming up with a great routine for the winter talent show.

Sagittarius

A messy Neptune-Venus alignment means your usual tricks won’t work this weekend. No matter how sickly sweet and charming you are, you might not be able to smooth over a situation you’re definitely responsible for. It might be time to stop playing games and start getting realistic about how to handle the mess you made. Also, baked goods aren’t the best way to apologize. You’ll just end up burning down your kitchen or some sh*t.

Capricorn

Be careful where you’re seen and who you’re seen with this weekend. Your social life could have an effect on your romantic life. Just because your significant other isn’t at the same bar, doesn’t mean he lacks an army of spies. So don’t even let it look like you’re getting too cozy with your “just a friend” or the guy who innocently offered to buy you a drink. I mean, you know more than anyone how important appearances are.

Aquarius

You’ve been trying to be responsible about your financial situation as of late. That’s a good thing because you’ve developed skills that will come in handy in the future, like making the same outfit look totally different by switching up your accessories. Luckily though, things are turning around for you in the financial department starting this weekend. Your bank account will have a little more cushion for the pushing. Feel free to throw a few dollars around this weekend. Treat yourself, but then lock it back up by Monday. You still aren’t Beyoncé. Sorry.

Pisces

You’ve been dealing with some insecurities lately. I mean, that’s kind of typical. You are a Pisces, after all. Anyway, it’s time you seek some advice or encouragement from a mentor or trusted friend. Your big sister from your sorority would love to get a call from you. Hell, even someone you look up to at work could help you through a personal issue and make you feel a lot better. Obvi, don’t head to your most sarcastic and silly friend. She’s great for a pick-me-up, but, like, not in this particular situation.
