Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

If you keep on hustling, your ascent will be inevitable, Aquarius! But this Wednesday, November 4, you may want to pause from the ladder-climbing and get your bearings. As the Sun syncs up with Mercury retrograde in your tenth house of career, you can review your strategy: Are you racing forward at too fast a pace? Do you need to tighten up the basics or give yourself a more realistic timeline for production? Rather than relying on gut checks and guesswork, map out a project plan and a sensible budget. The facts will speak for themselves. A clash with an authority figure could disrupt your inner peace, but try not to let it totally derail you. You’ve never been a fan of people telling you where you CAN’T go and what’s “impossible”—because you know you can figure anything out. If you hear an objection, you’ll be tempted to take a circuitous route (around the naysayers and behind their backs). But don’t! With the messenger planet in reverse, the blowback to your network could do reputational damage. Use the next week to strengthen your pitch with (yes, even more) data so you can hit it from another angle after Mercury is direct on November 13.

Also on Wednesday, globe-trotting Venus, backing up through your ninth house of travel and learning, links up with devoted Jupiter in your seventh house of partnerships. Your free-spirited sign needs room to roam, Aquarius, and this week you may want to plot an escape with someone you adore. Revisiting a city you once loved or returning to a class you abandoned could bring you and a partner, romantic or creative, closer. With both Venus and Mercury retrograde, bookings are prone to glitches, and lavish Jupiter may push you to splurge on first class when a friend’s ADU would do the trick. Double-check every confirmation email and spend an afternoon in research mode, sketching a trip for early next year.
