A new month marks a new series of planetary transits. This week’s new moon in Scorpio will oppose Uranus, the planet of rebellion and innovation. Occurring on 4 November, this celestial event shuns concrete plans and anything that’s too fixed or structured, especially with eclipse season in sight. Wordplay just won’t cut it when Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Scorpio on 5 November. Here’s how to harness this week’s planetary shifts, based on your sign.
