Now let us examine the week's main astrological events in greater detail and find out what deserves particular attention.
Retrograde Mercury and Venus
According to Kseniia Bazylenko, Mercury will continue its retrograde motion in Scorpio throughout the week, while Venus will be in Libra. This is a period of returning to unfinished business, reviewing previous agreements, and reassessing relationships.
It is worth paying closer attention to financial matters, documents, negotiations, and personal relationships. Do not rush to make important decisions, especially under the influence of emotions. At the same time, retrograde motion provides an opportunity to correct old mistakes and return to promising ideas that could not previously be implemented
What the stars portend for Ukraine
According to the astrologer, the first week of November may prove important for Ukraine in terms of international cooperation. In particular, she says that in the country's horoscope, transiting Jupiter in Leo is approaching a conjunction with natal Jupiter and Mercury, located in the sphere of partnerships. At the same time, retrograde Venus in Libra is forming a harmonious aspect with them. In mundane astrology, this configuration is symbolically associated with international negotiations, alliances, and support from partners.
There may be a return to previously reached agreements and a resumption of discussions about financial, diplomatic, or other assistance to Ukraine. It is particularly interesting that these aspects will become active against the backdrop of important political events in the United States. The issue of Ukraine may once again find itself at the center of international attention
At the same time, according to the expert, this week will also have tense moments. In particular, the night from Monday to Tuesday, November 2–3, will feature a tense planetary configuration in the astrological forecast.
Another difficult period may be the weekend, especially Sunday, November 8. The tense interaction of Mars with Ukraine's natal Moon, which in mundane astrology symbolizes the people, may point to growing public discontent, emotional tension, and a sharp reaction to events. These astrological indicators are not a reliable way to predict specific threats, so when it comes to security, it is necessary to follow official warnings and air-raid alerts
At the same time, she stressed that the favorable aspects of Venus and Jupiter provide grounds for cautious optimism regarding international contacts and the possible restoration of partnership agreements.
In addition, the astrologer added that the beginning of the week, particularly November 2–3, draws attention because of the concentration of planets in Leo. The Moon will successively conjoin with Mars and Jupiter, activating themes of power, political ambitions, and international prestige.
In mundane astrology, such a configuration symbolizes heightened activity among world leaders, high-profile public appearances, resonant statements, and an emotional public reaction. It is particularly interesting that on November 3, the United States will hold midterm elections to Congress, which will be one of the main political events of the week. At the same time, the harmonious aspect between retrograde Venus and Jupiter creates a favorable astrological backdrop for diplomatic initiatives, returning to previous agreements, and seeking compromises
At the same time, according to her, November 4 will be a difficult day for communication and negotiations.
One of the most important events of the week will be the exact conjunction of retrograde Mercury with the Sun in Scorpio. In traditional astrology, Mercury's close approach to the Sun is called the combustion of the planet. This period is associated with difficulties in communication, misunderstandings, mistakes, and an escalation of conflicts
It is especially important to exercise caution on November 3–5.
Harsh statements, thoughtless accusations, and an unwillingness to listen to the other person may lead to serious disputes. Check documents, messages, and financial agreements more carefully, and be cautious while traveling. Interestingly, it is precisely on November 4 that a harmonious aspect between Venus and Jupiter forms. Thus, opportunities for constructive solutions will exist, but reaching mutual understanding may not be easy - the astrologer noted.
However, according to her, as early as November 5–6 there will be opportunities for positive changes. In particular, during the second half of the week, the Moon in Libra will activate a harmonious configuration involving Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto—planets that in mundane astrology symbolize large-scale historical processes and social transformations.
This may indicate the emergence of unexpected diplomatic initiatives, new ideas for international cooperation, and attempts to find a way out of long-standing conflicts. At the same time, the tense aspect between the Moon and Neptune warns against excessive expectations. Not all attractive proposals will necessarily lead to practical follow-up
What to expect over the weekend
November 7, in the expert's opinion, will be an ideal day of harmony and family coziness.
Saturday may become one of the most pleasant days of the week. The Moon in Libra will conjunct Venus, while harmonious aspects to Mars and Jupiter will strengthen the symbolism of joy, goodwill, and mutual support. This is an excellent time for family recreation, communicating with loved ones, romantic moments, and pleasant household activities. You can arrange a family lunch, meet with friends, or revive cherished traditions
She also added that retrograde Venus may remind people of those from the past or create a favorable atmosphere for reconciliation. At the same time, according to the astrologer's forecast, November 8 will bring emotional tension ahead of the new moon.
On Sunday, the Moon will move into Scorpio and form a tense aspect with Pluto. In the astrological tradition, such a configuration is associated with heightened emotions, suspiciousness, inner anxiety, and an intensification of contradictions. In addition, we will be approaching the new moon in Scorpio, which will occur on November 9 at around 9 a.m. Kyiv time. Therefore, it is better to spend Sunday calmly, without unnecessary conflicts, relationship confrontations, or important decisions. Devote time to rest, household matters, and restoring your strength
