This week, Mercury will still be retrograde, and Lilith may significantly affect your plans. However, not all astrological aspects will disrupt your ideas or expectations for new endeavors. Ukrainian astrologer Kateryna Solovyova has prepared the weekly horoscope and explained what Lilith and the retrograde period will bring us.

General advice for the week

Mercury is retrograde from November 9 to 29. Therefore, this period is not suitable for important negotiations, signing new contracts, purchasing electronics, or business trips.

From November 15 to 24, Mercury and the Sun form a conjunction with the calculated point known as the Black Moon (sometimes called Lilith). During these days, you should remain attentive and cautious, avoiding aggression and negativity.

The astrologer advises refraining from starting new projects or making important decisions, as well as from surgical or dental procedures and visits to the hairdresser.

"Those whose work is related to public speaking, social activities, or the arts should be especially careful. It is a favorable day for intellectual work. You can get rid of unnecessary acquaintances and connections. It is preferable to repay debts," the astrologer said.

From 1:51 PM to 11:44 PM Kyiv time, the Moon will be void of course. It is believed that during this period, the usual flow of events is disrupted, poor choices are made, actions do not bring the desired results, and a person may feel confused, distracted, and prone to empty illusions.

"Because of the general energy of the day, do not initiate new activities related to starting a new job, purchasing or repairing a car or household appliances, long-distance travel, or taking on extra workloads," Solovyova advises.

Avoid straining your eyes. This is a good time to resolve conflicts.

According to the astrologer, this day is also not suitable for surgical or dental procedures or for visiting the hairdresser.

"Avoid unnecessary conversations, gossip, and misinformation, and keep an eye on your belongings so you don't lose them. Deception and fraud are possible. It is a stressful day because the Moon's accumulated energy is insufficient, while negativity increases, so it can be burned off at the moment of the New Moon. Avoid alcohol and sexual contacts," the expert warned.

On November 19, from 12:09 PM to 2:09 PM Kyiv time, the Moon, responsible for our emotions, psyche, soul, subconscious, instincts, feelings, mood, sensitivity, vulnerability, and emotional variability, will be in the destructive degree of Scorpio.

"The destructive degree is a degree of sacrificial testing. Its influence depends on one's ability to fit harmoniously into life, find mutual understanding with the world, and learn from life's lessons," the astrologer reminded.

"It is better not to start new activities related to business, law, travel, education, science, or anything connected to foreign affairs. It is not a day for getting married, making expensive purchases, or undergoing plastic or cosmetic procedures," Solovyova warned.

The exact phase of the New Moon will occur on November 20 at 08:47 AM Kyiv time.

"It is a good time for planning: everything conceived now has a better chance of being realized than ideas formed during other lunar phases. The first hour of the first lunar day, from 08:47 to 09:47 AM Kyiv time, is especially favorable," the astrologer said.

Additionally, on November 20, the Moon and Sun will be in conjunction with Mercury in Scorpio. This, the expert noted, is one of the most challenging placements for the Moon.

"Both the Sun and the Moon will also form tense aspects with Uranus. This means that anything planned will face certain difficulties during implementation," she added.

November 21

"Because of the general energy of the day, it is better not to initiate new activities involving large financial payments, marriage registration, new acquaintances, business registration, expensive purchases, loans, updating your personal image or home design, new cosmetic or plastic procedures, or unfamiliar foods," the astrologer cautioned.

From 09:04 AM on November 21 until 04:10 AM Kyiv time on November 22, Venus will be in the destructive degree of Scorpio.

November 22

"Physical activity, going to the gym, bathhouse, or sauna is recommended," Solovyova said.

It is also effective to get rid of pests, rodents, and dirt in the home.

November 23

On this day, the astrologer does not recommend giving speeches, presenting new projects, or starting relationships.

It is a good day for household tasks or relaxing with family.
