As the leaves of November start to fall and the year winds down, we find ourselves on the cusp of a brand new beginning. 2024 is almost a wrap, and what a ride it’s been—full of ups and downs, twists and turns. We’re bidding farewell to the turbulent Dragon year and welcoming the fresh start of 2025, a year of change and transformation. So, what kind of shifts are in store for you? The answers might just lie within the intricate map of the Twelve Palaces of the Purple Microcosm.
These twelve houses aren’t just arbitrary divisions; they’re a reflection of your complex web of social connections and life’s journey. As we step into 2025, the Year of the Snake, the major directions of your fortune are ready to be unveiled. Curious to know more? Just click here!
A quick note: all times mentioned (like "daybreak") are based on Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). There’s a 15-hour difference from our local time, so feel free to add 15 hours to all mentioned time slots.
Now, onto the timings that are best avoided for starting new endeavors (all times are in Pacific Standard Time): Monday from 10:13 to 10:26 p.m., Wednesday from 10:50 to 10:59 p.m., and Friday from 11:03 to 11:09 p.m. Interestingly, the total "down time" this week is a mere 28 minutes. That’s right, less than one four-hundred-eightieth of the time is considered "inauspicious." This unusual brevity is due to some planets being very close to the end of their respective signs, meaning the moon is in a phase with them until it enters the next sign. Those "last few minutes" are when you should avoid starting anything new. The planets in question include: Pluto at 29.84 degrees Capricorn, Neptune at 27.34 degrees Pisces, and Uranus at 25.5 degrees Aquarius. But fear not, as this week’s inauspicious times are all influenced by Pluto alone.
Aries:
The focus remains on semi-secret, powerful matters, Aries—research, financial actions, desires (especially extramarital ones), medical events, and lifestyle decisions. This is a time for commitment and facing the consequences. From now until the beginning of January, your romantic side, creativity, and adventurous spirit will burst forth like fireworks, filled with joy and healthy passion. Bosses will be in your corner until December 6th. Listen to the advice of a consultant; their suggestions are measured and spot-on (though they might get a bit convoluted by the end of the month, so things won’t be "solved" in one go). After a long delay, a government agency or management will finally take action or handle your affairs this week through May (that month will mark the end of their "pressure" on you). You’ll see strong signs of this situation on Sunday/Monday. Monday is a good day for action in this area. Otherwise, rest, think, and plan. Donate to charity. Tuesday/Wednesday, your energy and charm will bubble up like a quiet spring—this might be a good time to gather valuable information, but not to press the "I commit" button. Thursday/Friday, focus on finances, buying/selling, learning, and perhaps a casual "no strings attached" relationship. Most outcomes will be good, but not romantic. Saturday is for handling trivial matters, running around, connecting with people, and dealing with paperwork—take it slow, as there are pitfalls.
Taurus:
The spotlight continues to be on relationships, Taurus, with exciting meetings, fresh perspectives, opportunities, contracts, disputes, public exposure, and relocation themes. This is an active period that requires a lot of energy—and even more flexibility and compromise to succeed. Remember, others currently hold the aces. You’re diving deeper into matters of sex, health, finance. Travel, foreigners, and foreign countries, higher education, legal affairs, religion, and love are all favored before December 6th. A key note: be gentle in family matters before the beginning of January, as friction is easily sparked. You might be able to persuade the government to help with your real estate/housing plans. Sunday/Monday bring optimism, flirting, social fun, popularity, and a pleasant mood! (Calm but happy.) Tuesday/Wednesday, retreat and seek tranquility. Rest, think, and plan. Connect with the government or management, but don’t try to achieve too much—there’s resistance. Thursday/Friday, your energy and charm make a strong comeback. A relationship might reach a climax. Go out and let people see you; take the initiative and start things. All is well, except for Thursday before dawn (PDT), when you should avoid impulsive actions and tempers. Saturday is for shopping, making money, casual desires, and learning from books—proceed with caution, as luck is not on your side.
Gemini:
There are still two weeks of work, burdens, and tedium ahead, Gemini. Stick with it, and you’ll be fine. Short trips, siblings, communication, and paperwork will be frequent and filled with optimism and good spirits until the beginning of January. A Leo might be involved. Others are talking to you now, and this could be important, involving a relationship or an agreement (or a move). You’ve had some and lucky interactions with others in the past few weeks. Now, this trend deepens, entering into intimacy, desire (possibly pregnancy), and financial sharing—before December 6th. Sunday/Monday, aim high, pursue prestigious relationships, career, and secular status. Monday will be better; Sunday may have minor issues. Tuesday/Wednesday, hope, flirting, social fun, and popularity, as well as entertainment activities, will come to you—but there’s resistance, so enjoy the mood while actual actions. Thursday/Friday, retreat, find a quiet place to rest, think, plan, seek spiritual solace, or connect with government or other management. This is a productive time, so seek benefits—like government assistance, medical help, advice, etc. Saturday, your energy and charm rise moderately but nicely—don’t start projects or seek allies, as things will "work against you."
Cancer:
Ah, sweet romance! Cancer, you have two weeks to enjoy it, along with creative success, risk-reward situations, teaching children, and pursuing beauty and joy. Believe in yourself and dive into any commitment that promises success (mainly in these areas, though you’re generally lucky). From now until December 6th, relationships will be and graceful. This affects love, but also marriage, sales activities, daily interactions. A strong undercurrent of secrets, sex/desire, financial consequences, lifestyle changes, and medical issues is flowing towards you. (But don’t make any firm decisions or commitments before mid-December, as your thoughts will soon change.) From now until the beginning of January, money will flow towards you, maybe a large sum, but life will try to take it back through spending, debt. Fight this trend—put extra money in the bank. Sunday/Monday are intellectually stimulating, suitable for learning, travel, profound thoughts, religion, and love. Tuesday/Wednesday, put on your ambition boots. You can make progress through struggle and last-minute agreements or acceptances. Tuesday is better, with smooth or unrestricted communication in work and employment. In a hopeful, flirtatious, joyful, and socially pleasant Thursday/Friday, wishes might come true. A romance might "reach a climax" or reach a new emotional level. Saturday (and the entire weekend) is for finding a quiet place to relax, think, and plan. Don’t buy anything important, or volunteer for tasks/duties that are almost impossible to complete.
Leo:
The focus remains on family, relatives, real estate, security, nature, rest, and "trimming"—cutting out old relationships/situations to make room for fresher ones to grow, Leo. From now until December 6th, colleagues and the work itself will be pleasant. A strong secondary thread will continue until the beginning of January—partly, lots of conversations with an attractive person; at the same time, you’ll be full of sexual appeal, courage, and determination. Research the new people you meet now—they might be "forecasts" of certain features of your future relationships (until 2042)—for example, "stubbornness." Sunday/Monday emphasize finances, desires, secrets, medical, and lifestyle choices. All is well here, but not spectacular. Monday will be better. (This area has been "slow" since July and will now move forward steadily.) Tuesday/Wednesday, your intellect is stimulated—long-distance travel, media, legal affairs, higher education, tolerance, profound thoughts, and gentle love are in the plans, but not particularly favored (though Tuesday is mostly smooth, especially in romance). Thursday/Friday, aim high—success in career, prestigious relationships, or secular status is favored. (But you may have to choose between family/relatives/security and external ambitions.) Saturday (and Sunday) will find your mood high due to hope and friendliness, but don’t expect any breakthroughs or easy conquests—quite the opposite is likely to happen.
Virgo:
The focus remains on reports, anecdotes, information, paperwork, trivia, communication, and short trips, Virgo. There are still two weeks ahead. Make necessary contacts and communications now—because in late November they’ll enter a "chaotic zone." Avoid dark places and combative people before January 6th. Romance and creative or enjoyable projects will get a lucky boost this week through December 6th. There will be discussions about family, but family plans will change, so stay flexible and don’t commit. The slow reluctance of a partner will end now. Sunday/Monday, relationships are full—opportunities, agreements, oppositions, possible "fame," and relocation themes are also in focus. Monday is better for action. Tuesday/Wednesday, the mysteries of life emerge, guided by intuition and premonitions, leading to research, major financial actions, desires, and lifestyle decisions. The best decision you can make is not to commit yet. Tuesday is good for thinking, contact, travel, especially related to family or investment. Thursday/Friday, your mind is awakened by profound things—long-distance travel, higher education, legal, social structures, media—and love. Everything is green, except for Thursday before dawn (PDT), so go for it! Saturday, aim high, but don’t overdo it. It’s not the best day to show off or approach superiors.
Libra:
The focus remains on money, income, property, buying/selling, casual sex, and book learning, Libra. There’s a lot of communication, trivia, paperwork, and other light housework—tidy these up now, because there will be delays and chaos (starting November 25th with Mercury retrograde). Your home and family will be warm and pleasant before December 6th. Until January 6th, you’ll be optimistic about your partner relationships (if single, about marriage prospects). Happiness fills this area. In relocation, public exposure, and the possibility of moving, you’ll also be full of hope and luck. Hardly any arguments! Since July, you’ve been "avoiding" (or accumulating) routine chores (and maybe a health issue) that now need to be addressed—do it. Sunday/Monday is a great opportunity to start handling all these tasks. Marriages, actual partnerships, public exposure, cooperation, and disputes are emphasized on Tuesday/Wednesday. Tuesday is much better, as it matures, especially if a Gemini is involved. But slow down on Wednesday—there might be a final "no" brewing. Thursday/Friday are about secrets, research, large sums of money, sexual desire (temptation), power games, and medical and lifestyle choices. This is a kind period, with good endings (especially financially). You’ll find Saturday intellectually stimulating, but otherwise rather discouraging, so take it slow and accept what’s happening.
Scorpio:
Scorpio, you’re still at the peak of your game! Your energy, charm, influence, and efficiency are at their annual high. Use this time well to start important projects, impress potential lovers, seek allies, and showcase yourself. In the next two months, there will be a lot of money-related activities. From now until December 6th, your communications will get a lucky response—especially if you’re negotiating or pursuing a potential partner. (This doesn’t mean he/she will automatically agree, but things will be in your favor.) From now until January 6th, bosses will be moody, irritable, and dominant. Be patient—you’re doing a great job, and that speaks for itself. Sunday/Monday are full of romance, creativity, and pleasure—Monday will be better. Tuesday/Wednesday, handle trivial matters, eat and dress carefully, avoid "temperamental tools"—i.e., cuts, burns, etc. Tuesday is better for action; Wednesday somehow "fails" towards the end of the day. Thursday/Friday, relationships, exciting meetings, opportunities, relocations, public exposure, and cooperation/opposition will appear. Overall, there will be good results, so dare to move forward. Saturday, be careful—desires, power games, secrets, temptation, major financial issues—all require caution and vigilance.
Sagittarius:
Rest, Sagittarius. Keep a low profile, replenish your emotional, mental, and physical reserves. Think, plan, deal with government or "headquarters," and do a couple of good deeds (which will help your karma). There are many secondary themes: 1) money will be lucky before December 6th; 2) your intellect will be on fire before January 6th—long-distance travel, legal issues, media/publishing, higher education; these will attract you like candy to a three-year-old; 3) before January 8th, you’ll be interested in and make progress in partnerships, relocations, career, other ambitions, public exposure, contracts, and agreements. The last two (intellect and partnerships) will experience "revisions"
