The coming week unfolds as a vivid transition between two states — the time leading up to the New Moon on November 20, and the shifts that will begin to surface after it.

Overall, the tensions of early November are gradually dissolving: everything that felt heavy and sticky starts loosening its grip. The atmosphere inside and around you becomes lighter and clearer, softer and — surprisingly — warmer. Not as prickly as before, yet still asking for mindfulness.

🌿 The beginning of the week reminds us of patience and perfect timing. Like a seed hidden in the soil, your wishes are now absorbing strength, going through inner processes invisible to the eye but absolutely essential. They are nourished by hope, warmed by your attention, and although they long for the light, they are choosing the right moment to break through the earth so they can grow strong and steady. Having endured darkness, waiting, and inner tension, this seed will sprout when the time is right — and no cold wind will be able to knock down this important little shoot.

The energies of the New Moon push us to dismantle our lives down to screws, grains, and atoms. To ask honest questions, clarify relationships, and recalibrate inner desires with what the lines of fate are shaping. A multifaceted and deep inner work lies ahead, especially if you don’t want old patterns to drag you into yet another pit you’d later have to climb out of with unnecessary losses. It’s a kind of preparation of future soil — so that your sprouts have somewhere to grow.

There are many steps ahead, and this process — as deep as it may be — is bringing you closer to your goal. Tend to the sprout of your dream, water it, warm it with your soul. It’s especially sensitive to your emotional climate right now: the more warmth and attention you give it, the more confidently it rises upward.

🌙 With the New Moon, the energetic background shifts. Ghosts of the past — people, events, unfinished conversations, old anxieties — finally disappear from the horizon. Relief arrives, almost physically perceptible, as if a pressure you didn’t fully notice has lifted. Details you once overlooked start standing out; the space around you practically lights up with hints, signs, and the subtle patterns of fate forming a coherent picture.

By releasing accumulated energies — through fire cleansing, salt, wax-pouring, or any trusted method — you open a door to completely new storylines. And these new storylines may enter abruptly, like a massive ocean liner slowing down beside you and inviting you aboard, promising to take you somewhere you’ve deeply longed for. The key is not to stall when life hands you a ticket — but also not to rush blindly. This is a fateful time. Any impulsive turn could alter your course so much that there may be no way back. Before acting, pause and ask yourself: am I ready to stand by this choice and not regret it later?

🦊 There’s another important nuance: the desire to stop fighting for “a place under the sun” shifts your inner compass toward gentler, more skillful paths. Not in the sense of deception, but in the art of living with more ease. You don’t always have to break through walls with your forehead when there’s a side path waiting to be found. Still, temptations will be abundant. You may be drawn to fast solutions or easy roads that turn out to be slippery upon closer inspection. One way or another, a choice awaits: stay true to yourself and your principles, or give in to the moment. But that very choice becomes your point of growth — the one that defines the next chapter of your path.

Despite all this, the week surprisingly supports new beginnings. Projects launch more easily, processes flow more smoothly, and circumstances are more tolerant than usual — the Universe isn’t putting obstacles in your way just to test you, as it often does. Yes, challenges will still arise — nothing grows or strengthens without them — but at least you won’t have to extinguish ten fires at once.

Still, stay alert and cautious. The universe allows movement, but attempts to climb onto someone else’s territory or act unfairly bounce back quickly. Something that seems harmless now could become costly later.

Overall, the time ahead promises to be a springboard into a new space where your intentions will grow faster, stronger, and more confidently. Dare bravely, but honestly. Move forward, but watch your step and use your power wisely. And remember — no matter what’s happening, there is more light ahead than it seems!
