You need a break from the world. Sleep, rest and let yourself dream. A recent loss pains you. Don't look to destructive habits to deal with your sorrow. Instead, meditate, pray or seek the solace of loved ones. Time for self-care is never wasted. Avoid stress. Take things as they come. Work can wait. Take time off to mend fences at home. A balance between work and home is important but domestic matters cannot be neglected forever. A stitch in time saves nine. Pay needed attention to your health too as that will be helpful in the long run.

Today, your ruler, Mercury, will start taking a spin through your foundational and family-oriented fourth house, where it will remain until November 18. Use this sentimental energy to let your closest people know how much you appreciate their support, inspiration and integrity. But heads up! There will be a retrograde to contend with from November 9 to 29, which could create friction in your inner circle. Batten down the hatches and start figuring out who you're visiting for the holidays—or if you're going to take a sabbatical from those celebrations instead. Advance prepping and planning will diminish some of the drama.
