You may be contemplating a big purchase, perhaps one involving jewelry, decorations or other valuables. Make decisions with care. Try and find a balance in your personal finances. A relationship may be ready to move to the next level. Pleasing fallout comes to you, as you realize that you can concentrate better on the many activities that are clamoring for your attention. Exciting new relationships may be formed now. The harder you work, the smart you are, the luckier you get.

Ready, set, focus! If your attention has been on other people at the expense of your own pet projects, Mercury’s arrival in your intensity zone on Saturday encourages you to zero in on what matters most to YOU. Choose one thing that you’re passionate about—something you can get really obsessed with in a healthy way. Then shift into focus mode and do a deep dive between now and January 8 (an extended spell due to the upcoming retrograde from November 25 to December 15). When you come up for air occasionally, you’ll crave real talk about serious stuff with the people closest to you. Casa Taurus is the happening spot starting Sunday, when mobilizing Mars parades into Leo and activates your domestic corner until January 6. All of a sudden, those household projects you kept putting off seem more urgent. Declutter your space, pick up a heavy winter quilt, put up bookshelves. But try not to take on more than you can handle because the red planet also has a retrograde cycle that begins on December 6. Keep your distance (as much as possible) from triggering family members so you don’t wind up embroiled in a protracted conflict.
