Horoscope Principles for the week of November 17, 2025

Astrological, magical, and legal principles to consider for the week based on your astrological rising sign

Here we are, back again for another round of principles based on your rising sign!

I have been driving across the United States and last week, when I would have normally written this, I was driving through Monument Valley.

I was struck by how little affinity I felt with the desert landscape in southern Utah and northern Arizona. I am a very Venusian person and have such strong affinity to rainforests. I admire the desert and it is alien to me.

The moon let me take a picture of her at Arches National Park, though, which got me a little excited.

And, also, here we are, across the country from where I started, and doing another round of principles.

Like we talked about before, The most unique qualities to you specifically, in terms of astrology, are found in your rising sign and aspects. This is why when you read a horoscope, it may be more accurate if you look at your rising sign, rather than your sun sign. Most astrologers tailor horoscopes to the rising, not sun, signs.

So, here I’m going to be upfront that I’m talking about your rising sign, although you may also want to look at your sun and moon. (If you need a copy of your chart, visit astro.com.)

These are the principles to consider for each rising sign in the week of November 17, 2025:

Aries Rising: Values are about what we value, not what we imagine being right or about conforming to dominant culture pressures. You are finalizing and revisiting what abundance and “value” means to you. For the final insights in this transit, look to people who support you and offer you resources. You may also find luck in your nesting and home spaces.

Taurus Rising: Partnership requires mutuality. Who you are with yourself, and who you are with your closest partnerships, has undergone a profound transformation over the past eight years, and that is coming to a close. This week, you’ll have the opportunity to rethink how you partner and the flow between meeting your own needs and those of your partners, under a boost from the universe. Old partnerships might come back into view, and it’s an opportunity to be realistic about whether they are supportive and mutual. You may lean on a boost from siblings, traveling in your local community, or small bits of easy learning.

Gemini Rising: Realizations that fail to metabolize into reality are lost. The hidden things that have come to light over the past eight years are on display this week, as that period of your life comes to a close. This week lets you rethink how you have metabolized those realizations into your daily life, how you handle your physical and mental health, and how you manage your habits. Take a boost from what you care about and what you value in order to put into place habits that honor your realizations.

Cancer Rising: More of you is more of what the world needs. If you’ve been experiencing instability in your communities over the past eight years, that period of time is coming to an end. Right now there is a relationship between being more of yourself and putting out into the world creative projects that the world needs. This could look like supporting your kids, specifically daughters, or even just rethinking and sending out a project. Inject yourself into the process, even if you would normally be hesitant to do that. Now’s the time!

Leo Rising: Home is where the renewal is this week. It’s where you can rethink and even beautify your lair, although I’m sure it’s already beautiful. If your career has gone through significant changes and upheaval over the past eight years, the next few months wrap that up. This week gives you insight into the relationship between your home and public facing life. Spirit and any work you’ve done this year on your unconscious thinking are a source of blessings in this process.

Virgo Rising: Community doesn’t have to be deep and profound to be a support. Sometimes it’s just a little thank-you note or funny meme. Pay attention to those this week. While your higher principles and ideals have been going through a life changing transit over the past eight years, right now is a time to remember the basics. Let your community be expansive and expand your philosophies to accommodate them.

Libra Rising: You’re not sure who you can rely on for support and resources, but you can rely on yourself. The shakeups you’ve experienced related to other people’s money and other people as support over the past eight years is coming to an end, but this week emphasizes the lessons you’ve learned and the return to yourself, what you value, and what abundance means to you. Your career and public life is a space of expansion for you right now.

Scorpio Rising: Look to yourself, your higher principles, and your inner knowing for stability. Your partnerships have been going through a time of change and instability since 2018, and this week emphasizes the final pass of that transit. This week asks you to look look inward for stability and lean on your higher learning and higher knowing for luck and answers. Look into yourself to see the universe.

Sagittarius Rising: You can be optimistic, hopeful, and grateful for the windfall you may have received this year from other people’s resources, and still take care of your mental and physical health. Right now is a time where you could feel psychologically well and healed, and still, keep your therapist. Take care of your body. You don’t have to do the same thing every day in order to maintain healthy habits in the midst of change.

Capricorn Rising: Being a “people person” may or may not be a way others have described you, but this is a good week to explore that concept. What are the groups that you belong in? What are the partnerships that nourish you? Those are the spaces that are experiencing freshness, renewal, and growth for you right now. Even if some parts of your life feel unstable, the depth you feel in those areas are where to focus.

Aquarius Rising: Choosing what feels right and stable to you is not always escapism. Staying at work to finish a project that feels good to you isn’t always overwork. Right now, your habits and daily experiences are a space of luck and your career is going through a renewal and rethinking. The transitions and instability that may have been going through your home life are just finishing up, and your career has the opportunity for a renewal right now.

Pisces Rising: Unlearning feels less secure than sticking to our childhood philosophies. But, if you test it out, you’ll find that the process of unlearning and interrogating your long-held beliefs uncovers what faith means to you. True security of belief exists in being willing to unbelieve. For wisdom in this process, look to children and the principle of beginner mind.

Thanks for reading and being the unique incarnation that you are!
