Mercury Cazimi
As Mercury experiences retrograde in Scorpio, the planet draws near to the Sun on November 4, 2026, in what is known as an inferior cazimi, which is an exact conjunction of a retrograde body with the Sun.
Considered the messenger of our cosmos, Mercury is currently retracing its steps, and when it does so in Scorpio, it explores the unseen outer influences shaping our thinking, perception, narratives, and life experiences. The Sun is also in Scorpio, which invites us into the depths, the underworld, the emotional waters of our inner body.
When these two draw close, mind and body meet. Here feeling and awareness become one. The contents of our unconscious minds, body memories, and psychological patterns begin to speak. They ask for review. They ask for understanding. They ask to be held. They ask to be rewritten into something more truthful.
It’s a day of heightened awareness, enhanced intuition, and inward orientation. There is much moving beneath our own surfaces as these archetypes align, and this conjunction allows us to peer into this movement.

Your Weekly Horoscope, November 1-7, 2026
As Venus dances with Jupiter, what are your deeper longings? What connects you to the soft flow of joy and inspiration that sings through our cosmos and earth at all moments? What brings you home to the inner spark of aliveness, a connection to yourself that seems to enliven you when returned to?
While in Scorpio, both Mercury retrograde and the Sun ask for an honest intimacy with yourself. What walls have you built around yourself not just so others cannot reach you, but so that you cannot reach you? Where are you ready to know yourself more truthfully?
As Venus and Jupiter invite us home to exuberance and the freedom of expression, Mercury and the Sun invite us home to the layers of us that we have abandoned in order to reclaim them. Your horoscope explains how these are relevant to you this week. Read for your rising sign.
Aries Rising
It’s a week of meeting the fears and hurts within you and holding them with acceptance and compassion. As you learn to trust yourself as a safe space once again, notice where you are ready to lower the walls that once protected you, even if just an inch.
Taurus Rising
It’s a week for awareness and contemplation. What patterns arise when you meet someone? What fears shape the way you connect with others? What stories influence the way you open or close yourself to love? There is a readiness to release what you no longer require to feel safe.
Gemini Rising
Welcome to an invitation to remember your worthiness. To disconnect with anything you inherited, absorbed, and learned that says your worth is dependent upon usefulness and achievements or otherwise granted to you by another. The narratives and stories that have you overworking, overgiving, and disconnecting from your own rhythm, pace, vitality, and desires no longer suit you.
Cancer Rising
Sitting beneath everything this week is the invitation to remember pleasure. To untangle all the patterns, projections, and narratives that say you must earn it or that to be seen in your truth is not safe. To release any ways of navigating life that have you silence and hide yourself. To feel worth and safety originate within yourself.
Leo Rising
Can you tell what’s shaping you? There is insight and discernment in the days to come regarding the inherited perspectives and the learned stories that might still drive your existence. discernment. And along with awareness comes alternate ways of seeing, reclaiming, accepting, and loving you. Don’t let them pass you by.
Virgo Rising
The week ahead acts as a mirror and reveals more of the patterns, narratives, and words that inhabit your mind as well as the underlying fears and longing that shape them. As you gain awareness, insight, and understanding about what has been taking place beneath your everyday consciousness, you begin to unravel whatever is not your truth.
Libra Rising
You are in a moment of transition. Old narratives are releasing from your mind; who you must be, what makes you safe. Old emotions are unravelling from your body; projected shame, fears that were never yours to hold. Existing identities are reorganising; where you want to go, who you want to be.
Scorpio Rising
Your identity is moving and self-perception is reshaping itself. Allow what everno longer feels truthful and relevant to fall away and let whatever is longing to step forward begin taking up more space within you. You are changing from the inside out. What new stories want to be told? What old identities no longer fit?
Sagittarius Rising
The week draws you into yourself. Beyond noise. Beyond busyness. Where your inner voice can be heard and your emotions can be felt. Where your longings can be met and your fears quieted. Things are rearranging within you. As stories of belonging unravel, a different self slowly readies itself to emerge.
Capricorn Rising
Can you bring more space to the way you look at your future? Instead of looking ahead for direction, look within. Re-commune with your desires, hopes, fears, and what truly matters to you. Let visions that no longer feel true fall away, even if it’s before something new takes their place.
Aquarius Rising
This week invites you explore your relationship with leadership. Not of others but of yourself and your life. Can you meet each voice that has doubted yourself and hold each with compassion and understanding? Can you consider past mistakes that haunt you and forgive them? Remember, you are still learning. You can still be trusted through that process.
Pisces Rising
Allow spaciousness to fill your mind wherever outside voices have gotten too close and others’ beliefs and emotions have kept you from your own. In this spaciousness, underneath all else, what are you saying? What are you feeling? What is inspiring you? What perspectives are wanting to emerge?
