Your horoscope for the week ahead: A full moon in lively Gemini will kick things off with a bang

We begin this week on an energetic note as the mood-ruling moon waxes full in lively Gemini on Monday. While we may feel tempted to take big swings during this lunation, engaging in impulsive behaviour could actually do more harm than good. Do your best to take a beat before acting and put selfish feelings aside; collaboration and cooperation will be crucial if you want to complete certain tasks before the year's end. 

Still, it's important that you don't let gullibility get the best of you when exchanging ideas with others. This will be especially key when communication-ruling Mercury squares deceptive Neptune later on Monday. People can get easily confused during this time, so try to be extra wary of which information you spread — and who you share it with. You could get taken advantage of if you're not careful. 

There will be a dip in cosmic activity from Tuesday through Friday; use this opportunity to refine your thinking and consider how you react to others. 

Then on Saturday, when expressive Mercury sextiles disciplined Saturn, it's a good time to start mapping out your long-term goals. This aspect encourages us to imagine new futures for ourselves and fills us with the drive to really see them through. Harness this moment to identify the opportunities that will truly be worth your while.

Finally, you'll want to pay close attention to how you treat your loved ones when passionate Venus squares power-hungry Pluto on Sunday. You may need to stroke a few egos or redefine your boundaries in order to keep the peace as these planets clash. If this causes any buried feelings to rear their ugly heads, try to nip them in the bud by practicing self-love. 

Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, November 27, 2023.

Aries

Does your schedule feel jam-packed right now, Aries? You could find yourself balancing more than you're used to this week, so don't be afraid to reach out to your loved ones for assistance or advice. Being more communicative with the people you trust can help you get closer to goals you've only dreamt of accomplishing. Then, on the weekend, discussing your professional ambitions could inspire you to reframe your thinking about what's possible in your career. Look back on the work habits you've built so far and consider how you might be able to streamline your routines moving forward. A subtle change could make all the difference. 

Taurus

Life moves quickly, Taurus. But while you may not be able to slow down time, working to become more present can help to calm your nerves. This week, try your best to tune into the world around you and be open to receiving ideas from others. You may find that being more mindful of your resources also brings a sense of order to the chaos. Take time to really understand your current spending habits; it could inspire you to set a powerful new savings goal. On the weekend, friends could try to influence you to embrace fresh income streams or money management ideas. Now is a good time to invest in your future. 

Gemini

Take command, Gemini. If it feels as though you've been playing the part of the wallflower lately, now is the time to summon your confidence, demonstrate your unique value and claim what's yours. This is also a beautiful moment to tap into your natural leadership skills, as it could be hard for others to think outside the box this week. If you've been dreaming about making a big move at work, don't hesitate to reach out to your loved ones on the weekend and play out possible scenarios. They could offer valuable career advice that will help you to make a huge leap. 

Cancer

Don't hesitate to reclaim your peace, Cancer. While your world may be buzzing with activity this week, you could find yourself exhausted by it all and eager to retreat to your comfort zone. Consider this your hall pass to say no to unnecessary engagements and remove yourself from draining encounters. Use this moment to lean on your intuition and reconnect with your inner voice. Then, on the weekend, you could feel inspired to approach your relationships with a new level of honesty — and more positivity. By opening yourself to fresh perspectives and possibilities, you can find ways to grow together. 

Leo

It's crucial that you stay on top of your schedule this week, Leo. Your popularity has the potential to rise, leaving you with loads of invitations, events and engagements to consider. But while this swell of attention may feel intoxicating, don't forget to still make time for the people who really rely on you. On the money front, you'll be well on your way to achieving a financial goal if you're willing to put in the work over the weekend — and even more so if you're smart about who you team up or invest with. Lean on your instincts and know-how to figure out if a potential partnership is solid.

Virgo

Be conservative with your energy this week, Virgo. You're a natural go-getter and often push yourself to the limit, but doing your best doesn't have to mean spreading yourself thin. Exciting developments in your career and passion projects are on the horizon, and you must budget your time wisely in order to see them through. Come the weekend, you'll be ready to kick back and relax with loved ones. Perhaps you'll even feel inspired to summon your natural organization skills to plan a group getaway. Just be sure to get everyone's input. Incorporating a variety of activities will keep everyone happy and enrich the memories you make together.  

Libra

Don't be afraid to shake things up this week, Libra. Trusting your gut and following your thirst for adventure could inspire you to take a risk in your career that really pays off. Perhaps you're finally ready to explore that entrepreneurial project you've been mulling over. This is an ideal moment to open your mind to all the possibilities, and invest time in nourishing the skills that'll get you there. Later in the week, you could find your mind brimming with ideas to elevate your space. Be sure to jot down jolts of design inspiration as they come to you. Refreshing your home, and improving its overall flow, has the power to really enhance your mood.

Scorpio

Familiarizing yourself with your debts and bills can help you take empowering steps forward this week, Scorpio. Just try not to get discouraged if the process reveals how long it might take for you to achieve certain financial goals. Remember: you can always look to your loved ones for support and encouragement as you work toward them. Then, on the weekend, you could find yourself tasked with a crucial exercise in love: letting go of a grudge. Talking through your lingering emotions may be uncomfortable, but it's also valuable. Are you ready to swallow your pride? 

Sagittarius

Listen up, Sagittarius. Whether you're single or attached, your romantic interests could have something important to say at the beginning of the week. What you learn may help you get to know someone new or see a different side of your longtime partner — whatever it is, significant details are sure to be revealed. Meanwhile, try to avoid arguing over any domestic duties during this time, as attempting to shift blame could backfire. Save your energy for the weekend, when you'll be feeling motivated to realign your actions with your financial goals. Consider what steps you need to take in order to achieve the stability you seek.

Capricorn

Have you been wanting to break a bad habit, Capricorn? Ending a negative pattern can do wonders for your self-esteem, so give it your best shot this week — and try not to beat yourself up for doing things a certain way in the first place. Instead, celebrate the fact that you mustered the courage to make a change. Meanwhile, you could feel more energetic, and this mood could continue into the weekend. If you find your mind buzzing with exciting challenges you might take on, try to focus on the ones that suit your schedule and budget. Talking about your goals with others can then help you to cement them into place. 

Aquarius

Embrace playfulness, Aquarius. Getting creative with your routines can help you break out of any rut you might find yourself in this week. This could be as simple as choosing a new route to work, switching up the music, podcast or audiobook you listen to while tackling chores, or implementing a new stretch in your movement practice. Challenge yourself to colour outside the lines. On the weekend, you'll be wise not to take anything people say to heart, as they could be speaking from a place of fear. Instead, try your best to find the source of their discomfort and seek out a solution together.

Pisces

Your personal life may require more of your attention, Pisces. At the start of the week, you're called to prioritize any essential home and family matters that you've put on hold to tend to your professional domain. Now is the time to tie up loose ends and figure out how you can restore harmony in your space. And if work issues arise around your loved ones during this period, try your best to spare them the details (and save yourself a headache). As the weekend arrives, you could start to feel more hopeful. Harness this energy to make long-term plans with friends that you can get excited about.
