1. Aries (March 21–April 19)

Dear Aries, this week might feel like the universe is playing a dirty trick on you. Whatever you have been shoving in your emotional drawer over the years will come bursting out, and you’ll be forced to confront people and your past. Secrets that you kept safely tucked away could come out and make things ugly between you and your close ones. But just remember, this is your time to rip off the band-aid, deal with the tough parts of being an adult, and genuinely own up to your stuff.

AAE Pro Tip: Hang tight; the weekend brings some friends, booze, and an opportunity to rant.

Lucky colour for Aries: Wear shades of white to balance your emotions.

2. Taurus (April 20–May 20)

For people who are coupled up, this week could take a toll on their romantic relationships. Jealousy, insecurity, and suspicion can make it hard to get through this time without a break. But this is also a test of your bond and how well you guys survive the tough times. Some relationships will last, while others might fall apart. Just remember, Taurus, what’s meant for you will always find a way back to you, maybe even a non-problematic ex. But what’s meant to go, no matter how tight you hold on, will find a way out.

AAE Pro Tip: Don’t try to keep proving yourself right. You’re either right, or you’re not. Admit it and move on.

Lucky colour for Taurus: Wear lemon yellow to attract good energy from the universe.

3. Gemini (May 21–June 20)

Work-life balance might feel a little off this week, Gemini, and that could lead to burnout. You’ll also be dealing with a couple of stubborn, nosy, and stuck-up people who might make you wanna strangle them. But take a deep breath because this is not where it ends. There could be some tension at work and conflicts can arise from differences of opinion. But keep a calm mind and try to get out of it with minimal emotional and ego damage.

AAE Pro Tip: You might get a chance to meet new people this week. Grab it with both hands.

Lucky colour for Gemini: Wear baby blue this week; it’ll make you look less threatening.

4. Cancer (June 21–July 22)

You’ve got your goals in mind and you’re willing to go the extra mile to achieve them. The horoscope for November 17-23, 2025, acts like the wind beneath your wings and lets you soar high. Just don’t get disheartened by some delays because that’s regular retrograde business. Keep your mind in the game and go for what you want. Clear the air with that one ex that keeps popping up quarterly. Ditch them or date them; don’t hang in the middle.

AAE Pro Tip: People will have a lot of unsolicited advice. Listen with one ear and let it out from the other.

Lucky colour for Cancer: Wear pale pink this week to keep your heart and mind in sync.

5. Leo (July 23–August 22)

Dear Leo, change is on the cards for you this week. The universe knows you are ready to embrace the new and let go of the old. This could mean new opportunities, new chances, and a fresh wave of romance in your current relationship. Let go of your past, Leo; that’s not who you are anymore. Be excited to build a new and better version of you that aligns with your present and future. You might feel a little extra emotional this week. Don’t hide it; embrace it, express it, and allow yourself to grow.

AAE Pro Tip: If someone is going the extra mile for you, don’t just acknowledge it, appreciate it too.

Lucky colour for Leo: Wear deep purple to keep your ideas and opinions flexible.

6. Virgo (August 23–September 22)

Your ruling planet, Mercury, is going retrograde, and therefore, you must be extra careful in the coming weeks. Misunderstanding and miscommunication will be at their peak, and you’ll need to go around putting out fires you didn’t even start. This is also a good time to have an open mind and not get stuck in your ways. Rigidity is out, fluidity is in because that’s how you survive amongst people who keep changing their minds and can’t stick to a single decision. Also, if you have any vacation plans, triple-check the bookings, flights, and your itinerary.

AAE Pro Tip: Spend some extra time with your partner because they’ll be your emotional support through this mess.

Lucky colour for Virgo: Wear beige; it’ll help you prioritise things and stay organised.

7. Libra (September 23–October 22)

The horoscope for November 17-23, 2025, suggests you take a look at your finances and be careful about spending your money. Some opportunities could come across as lucrative, but remember, they can be too good to be true. Speaking of opportunities, don’t turn down invites from friends that could make you meet some great people. Single or not, there’s no harm in meeting some new faces who could bring a fresh perspective and a fruitful idea to the table. Just be cautious and don’t overshare.

AAE Pro Tip: An old friend or lover from the past could try to reconnect. Think it through before inviting them back.

Lucky colour for Libra: Wear hot orange this week. You need something to keep your fire burning.

8. Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

It’s time to break out of the rut you’ve been stuck in, Scorpio, and let the retrograde handle the rest. You’ve been in a fight with yourself constantly, and honestly, more than winning, you’re on the verge of giving up. But the horoscope for November 17-23, 2025, is your knight in shining armour. This week, you’ll have no issue saying no to people, things, and situations that make your brain cells do the extra work. Instead, drop everything and indulge in some birthday pampering, self-care, and organising your messy cupboard.

AAE Pro Tip: Get together with your buddies, drink, and trash-talk about everyone.

Lucky colour for Scorpio: Wear coffee brown; it’ll lend you an extra mysterious vibe.

9. Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

Hello, my little birdie. Worried that Mercury has decided to visit you during the birthday season? Well, it is an emotionally draining time, and you have been feeling a little low lately. Work hasn’t been great, you’ve been feeling underappreciated, and things are just not panning out. But remember, Sagittarius, it’s not you; it’s the retrograde season. So, slow down, rest up a little, and don’t rush into anything right now. Your creative energies need recharging, and that won’t happen till you remove the elements that are draining them.

AAE Pro Tip: Break habits that aren’t great for your physical or emotional well-being. Start by blocking that ex.

Lucky colour for Sagittarius: Wear peach to unwind and focus on what’s important.

10. Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

It’s time to spring into action, Capricorn. You’ve been running in circles, and if you actually mean business, get down to it. Everything that’s been on your mind, personal stuff, work affairs, social events, and more needs to be sorted, organised, and compiled this week. Work on a plan for each of them and how to execute it most efficiently. Talk to people, get to know where their mind is at regarding things, and then take a call. Do your homework and make sure you score an ‘A’ in everything you do this week, Cap.

AAE Pro Tip: You’ll have to be a little more assertive to get your work done this week.

Lucky colour for Capricorn: Wear midnight blue; it will keep your productivity up.

11. Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

Retrogrades aren’t usually the time to start something new, so, if you’ve got something in mind, pen it down for now, Aquarius. If you execute things right now, you might not get the best results. You see, timing is key in everything. So, chalk up your plans, get your board of besties to brainstorm, and evaluate what can work and what needs to go to the bin. This will also be helpful for your social life and allow you to meet people and get some fresh perspectives on all aspects of life.

AAE Pro Tip: Don’t overpromise and underdeliver. Underpromise and underdeliver. Be consistent.

Lucky colour for Aquarius: Wear pale yellow; it’ll get your creativity flowing while keeping you grounded.

12. Pisces (February 19–March 20)

Dear Pisces, the retrograde season warns you to play it really, really safe this week. Make sure you are checking everything yourself and not leaving the important stuff to other people. It’s okay to delegate things because you don’t want your plate to overflow. But make sure every last detail is checked by you. Your head will be on the chopping block for the smallest of things, so it’s better to be overwhelmed than sorry. Oh, also, keep a check on who you’re sending your texts and emails to. A wrong chat or wrong mail could put you in burning hot waters.

AAE Pro Tip: Make time to put your feet in warm water with bath salts when the world feels too much to deal with.

Lucky colour for Pisces: Wear emerald green; it will keep unnecessary distractions away.

Have a lovely week, folks.
