How To Read Your Birth Chart: Astrology Can Help You Live & Manifest Your Dreams

What's happening astrologically during the week of November 17 to 24, 2024?

The most noteworthy event this week is Pluto moving into the fixed air sign of Aquarius on November 19. This heralds a new era as Pluto is a slow-moving planet, and it will stay in Aquarius until 2044. Aquarius at its best is a futuristic sign whose focus is of a humanitarian nature. Aquarius is highly intelligent, a bit unpredictable and unique in all ways. Aquarians do not like to be told what to do. They are open minded and tolerant for the most part but can be slow to change their minds once they determine they know all that needs to be known. Aquarians are known to love everyone; they are very community oriented. How Pluto will manifest its transformative energy in the sign of Aquarius will be nothing short of revolutionary. We may find unique solutions to the world’s problems that no one has thought of or even conceived of. We may realize we are all connected, and the new world order will reflect this realization.

On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius can teach us to be open minded; to realize we can use our intellect to approach life in new ways and to be inclusive of others. Look at your own chart to see which house Aquarius rules to get a better understanding of the lessons you may learn during this 20-year period.

Another major shift this week occurs when the Sun moves into Sagittarius on November 21. This year, the Sun will remain in Sagittarius until December 22. Sagittarius is an optimistic archetype. This enthusiastic and energetic, mutable fire sign is socially oriented and seeks truth and understanding. While the Sun is in Sagittarius, we have the chance to broaden our comprehension of ourselves and our place in the world. Taking a wide viewpoint, we can be philosophical and hopeful. Higher education, learning and travel are also parts of Sagittarius’ world view. Natural teachers, Sagittarius loves to share knowledge. Other cultures and religions are fascinating and can be sources of learning. We also tend to over-do and over-consume while the Sun is in Sagittarius. While the jovial nature of Sagittarius is fun-loving, we can be overly confident, overly optimistic and blurt out what is on our minds without first thinking about how it is received.

Supporting our time with the Sun in Sagittarius, Jupiter, the planet that rules Sagittarius, is forming a sextile to Chiron, the healer and shaman of the Zodiac. Between November 18 – 28 we can feel uplifted and work toward freeing ourselves from negative or limiting beliefs or patterns. This time is best spent focused on personal growth, learning from a mentor or someone we admire and keeping an open mind. Releasing old wounds and insecurities will make room to experience more abundance and true healing. The effects can be long lasting; make the most of this 10-day transit.

I look to the sky and the planets to help navigate the world around us. If you’d like to know more about how these and other transits affect your life, please contact me for a personalized reading!

Read Your Sun and Rising Signs For Your Weekly Horoscope

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Are you sabotaging your progress in life with negative self-talk? Do you feel blocked by insecurities but don’t quite know where they originate? You can identify what prevents you from being successful and happy and actually break free from what hinders you. Be honest. Delve into your psychology. Write in your journal. Julia Cameron wrote a book called The Artist’s Waywhere she describes a technique called Morning Pages to help unlock your inner knowing. This approach would be very helpful for you.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

Identifying the impediment to your personal growth requires you to slow down, rejuvenate, and repair any frazzled nerve endings and to retreat into a safe and comforting space. This can be done in the sacred spaces of your home or in nature, where you commonly find reverence and inspiration. Take time to retreat to the places in your life where you feel secure and protected. You might also find yourself inspiring others or offering refuge to those who feel extra vulnerable. Offer assistance to those who need it.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Your community is a source of solace and provides a sense of belonging this week. This is a reciprocal arrangement; offer shelter to others and you will, in turn, feel support and protection. Use your strength and stability to encourage those around you. If you feel insecure that you don’t have what it takes to provide for others, dig deep. You are stronger than you think and whether you know it or not, others find you inspiring and admirable. While the obstacles appear daunting, your ingenuity and energy is indomitable. Pace yourself. You have what it takes to endure.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Your soft, sensitive side can find inspiration though music, poetry or art. Lean on your spiritual practices to boost your confidence. There might be opportunities in your profession that require you to step out of your comfort zone and tap into your natural leadership abilities. If you are required to lead a workshop, or give a presentation, use your mentors to give you courage and strength. It is likely that you will overcome any tendency to be shy if you take time to acknowledge what you know and muster up your bravery to shine.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You might be doubting yourself and your worthiness. If you find yourself insecure about your capabilities, this is a good week to reflect on how far you have come. Boost your ego by recounting and reviewing your accomplishments. If you are unable to see clearly as you look back, confide in your community or loved ones. Take a trip down memory lane with those closest to you. Share pictures from your past or recount stories about occurrences that demonstrate your growth and evolution.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

There might be a tendency to dwell in the shadow this week. Do not let fear stand in the way of your growth or understanding of the predicament you might find yourself in. There are lessons to be learned, and this darkness can serve to transform yourself. You will not always feel so pessimistic and what you experience has the potential to give you a perspective that will help you withstand future hardships. It is a good idea to frequently remind yourself that you are strong and capable.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Relationships might be a sore spot but only if you have allowed them to become unbalanced. To achieve the equanimity you so desire, it is important to maintain your autonomy while allowing your partners to experience their own self-determination. It is possible for you both to be strong individuals and strong together. Lean into your spiritual practice to find solace as you strive for fairness and balance. If your relationships are healthy, use this time to enhance the connection. Date night, meet for lunch or take a break from work to walk in the park can be wonderfully enchanting and satisfying.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You can achieve healing through holistic practices. The synergy between the mind and body promotes health; the body has a natural affinity for health. It is important to balance work, personal care, adequate sleep and deep connections with others. Strive to achieve stability through spiritual and physical activities, being of service to others and tending to personal relationships. Scorpios are natural healers. Setting aside the ego to help others is a great way to demonstrate this power.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

It is your time of year to shine. How can you use your creativity to heal any insecurities? Practice your art to gain confidence and then share what you know with others. Your tendency to be spontaneous can be infectious but can lead to chaos. If you are planning a party or celebration, start early and include others in the preparation. Delegate and share the responsibilities. A group effort can be even more fun. Include the kids and encourage self-expression. Spread joy and laughter as you connect with your inner child.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Connecting with your roots and focusing on your family is a path to healing and greater personal freedom. Focus on inner nurturing and connecting with the divine. Reflect on what home truly means to you. Is home a place or a feeling within your soul? How can you help others achieve peace of mind and nurture those who have had a turbulent upbringing or who have experienced wounds around home? You have an ability to see others’ emotional scars. Practice compassion and empathy as you devise ways to help others dissolve those scars.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)

Knowing yourself is the first step toward healing any childhood wounds of not being heard or acknowledged. Your thoughts are valuable. Your ability to find unique solutions are essential for the evolution of the planet. It is critical for you to express yourself clearly so that misunderstandings are minimized. Practice Non-Violent Communication, a profound method of communication developed by the humanistic psychologist, Marshall Rosenberg. Experiment with different forms of communication, keeping in mind that clarity is the goal.

Pisces (February 20 – March 21)

What do you truly value? Do you view your body as sacred? Are you focused on material possessions to define security? Your spiritual life is a pathway to understanding your core values. A connection to the divine is part of your wealth. Learning to create boundaries so that you can focus on what you value will lead you to contentment. Learn to say no, or not now. Stand up for yourself and develop your talents and unique perspective. Establish an inner sense of belonging to create your security. Material goods are fleeting. Your spiritual truth is everlasting.

The month begins with a magical New Moon in Sagittarius on December 1, perfectly aligning with the heart of the Scorpion star Antares. This cosmic event is primed for manifestation, offering us the energy to overcome obstacles.

Be patient—your ideas may not take form immediately but will unfold later this month. Trust the process, and hold firm to your vision.

As we move into December 6, Mars will retrograde in Leo, inviting us to hit the brakes and reassess how we use our energy, particularly in love, creativity, and career. This retrograde will last until February 23, 2025, so take this opportunity to reflect on your passion projects, relationships, and personal goals. Rather than pushing ahead, take a step back, strategize, and refine your approach.

Communications, travel plans, and crucial discussions will flow more smoothly, allowing you to make headway on projects or clear up lingering misunderstandings.

The Sun moves into Capricorn on December 21, shifting towards focus and ambition. This transit will bring a surge of energy to tackle work, career, and personal goals.

Finally, December closes with Chiron Direct on December 29, signaling a time to accelerate your healing journey. This cosmic shift asks you to reflect on your growth over the past year and make strides toward emotional healing.

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Theme: Prioritize Your Dream

Spread your wings and fly, Aries. The New Moon in Sagittarius encourages you to analyze your personal beliefs. Set a course by learning something new, traveling, or launching your dream project. This is a powerful time to set long-term goals related to growth and discovery. Mars retrograde may slow your creative or romantic pursuits, urging you to reassess your passions and how you express them. For these next couple of months, take this opportunity to review your desires and focus on what truly lights you up — we believe in you! It's time to step out of your comfort zone and claim your place within the groups, as Venus in Aquarius brings exciting connections, making this a great time to nurture friendships and collaborative projects.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

Theme: Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

It's time to be "comfortably uncomfortable," Taurus. This month attracts transformation and inner review. The New Moon in Sagittarius nudges you to look deeper into matters such as shared resources, intimacy, and vulnerability. This lunation will allow you to truly feel alive again after living on auto-pilot. Or doom-scrolling on social media, wondering about your life's possibilities. What do you want? You can plant a seed of intention regarding your desires and face your fears to make room for the Universe to give your wishes. It's a potent time for letting go of old patterns and welcoming change. These next several weeks may be challenging involving home or with family as the Mars retrograde impacts your emotional security and living situation. Avoid sweeping issues under the rug.

As the social butterfly of the zodiac, this month will open your eyes regarding your connections and identity, Gemini. The New Moon in Sagittarius sparks new beginnings in your personal or professional partnerships, offering fresh opportunities for growth and connection. Make a move if you desire to see changes in your relationship. However, these next several weeks will test your ability to convey messages as Mars retrograde may bring delays or misunderstandings in your communication. To work with this, reflect before speaking. The wonderful part about this retrograde is that you can slow down and methodically express your ideas and energy to others. You'll feel more energized as you discern. The planet Venus phasing into Aquarius enhances your sense of adventure, encouraging you to seek new experiences and expand your knowledge through travel, learning, or philosophical pursuits. If you have been contemplating solo traveling or taking a class—do it. By mid-month, the Full Moon in your sign illuminates your identity, urging you to do some soul-searching. Reflect on who you are and what you truly want moving forward.

The Mars retrograde may stir up financial uncertainties in the next few months. Don't worry. You can power up your self-worth and stance with money by reassessing your values and spending habits. Analyze how you manage your resources and make adjustments that align with your long-term security. Here's the fun part: Venus in Aquarius will boost your intimacy sector. So, if you have been feeling distant lately with your SO, now is your chance to cozy up or go for date night. This deepened bond can be the healing balm to help you communicate better and power up your joint financial matters. The Full Moon in Gemini mid-month will help you close the chapter on unwanted habits linked to your subconscious patterns. Start a meditation practice, journal, or a cord-cutting ritual for healing and closure. By month's end, the Sun moves into Capricorn, and partnerships take center stage, shifting the focus on your relationships and how you negotiate.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Theme: Self-love and Acceptance

Self-love will be your central theme this month, Leo. The New Moon in Sagittarius starts your month with a creative promise and invites you to take on new endeavors, passions, and romantic exchanges. It's a perfect time to set intentions involving what brings you joy in the moment. The Mars retrograde will help you pinpoint your sense of self and assess your appearance and the kind of energy you emit to others. Although it will be "triggering" untapped emotions these next several weeks, be reflective and observe your feelings before expressing them impulsively. Later this month, your primary focus will pivot to partnerships as Venus enters your relationship sector. Be open-minded and listen--it will bring fresh energy into your love life and relationships. Then, the Full Moon in Gemini illuminates your social circles and aspirations, allowing you to evaluate your connections and assess how they align with your vision.

Then, Venus in Aquarius later this month brings serendipitous energy to your work and daily routines as you allow the Universe to guide you. Look for signs or synchronicities, and you'll receive clues on finding harmony and balance in your life. By mid-month, the Full Moon in Gemini clarifies your career path and assesses your professional goals and public image. To live your dreams, take a chance and count on what motivates you. Let go.

Later this month, you're one lucky star, as Venus in Aquarius will level up your romantic endeavors while it energizes your charisma. It's also a potent time to bring fresh energy and excitement to your personal life. Go out and have a date with yourself, schedule date night with your S.O., or take on an activity that brings you infinite joy. Then, later this month, the Full Moon in Gemini illuminates your belief systems, travel, and higher education, pushing you to reflect on your worldview and what you’ve learned this year. Write a gratitude list and see how much you have accomplished. Give thanks.

Over the next several weeks, the Mars retrograde in your career sector will help you slow down and observe your professional path and public image. The dreams you placed on the back burner will reappear, and you'll face a choice to take it or leave it. Trust.

Remember that you're magical, and with a refined approach, you'll reach your desired outcome.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Rome wasn't built in a day, Capricorn. This month invites you to dive deep into self-reflection and reinvention. The New Moon in Sagittarius lights up your subconscious realms, and it would be of your highest good to set intentions for inner healing, spiritual growth, and releasing any residual baggage or fears. Begin a sacred practice, meditate, or begin dream journaling for clarity.

Have you been wishing and hoping for a breakthrough, Aquarius? Well, this month will breathe new life into your social connections, relationships, and long-term goals. A new chapter begins with the New Moon in Sagittarius, which occurs in your friendship and network sector. Set your sights and intentions around expanding your social network, align with those who match your vibe, and share your vision. With Mars retrograde in your relationship sector, partnerships and their progression will slow down. Avoid signing contracts or agreements and review them later. Reflect on your current one-on-one relationships (personal or professional) and analyze how you navigate conflicts. As Venus enters your sign, expect to feel lighter, confident, and inspired to beautify your inner and outer self. Later this month, the Full Moon in Gemini highlights the direction of your story involving your creative endeavors and love life.

Pause and analyze your internal landscape and practice cord-cutting or release work for unwanted habits to make room for the Universe to send you opportunities.

Pisces (February 20 – March 21)

Theme: Take A Chance On You

Are you ready to step into your power, Pisces? It may feel like you have been in a forever chrysalis stage. December brings career reflection, personal healing, and social renewal. The New Moon in Sagittarius activates your career sector, highlighting your professional goals, public image, and ambitions. However, this is your moment to realize what you truly want and to believe in yourself. Create a vision board, and set small goals to reach your dreams. It’s a powerful time to manifest your professional path and long-term success. Mars retrograde will inspire you to reassess your daily routines, health habits, and work-life balance for the next several weeks. Although it isn't a time to make a significant decision in the career realm, it will be a preparatory time to strengthen your resolve by improving your well-being rather than just "pushing" through burnout. The great news is that Venus is on your side to beautify your inner self as it takes residence in your subconscious realms over the next few weeks. Explore your path to inner healing, self-love, and rest. Clear out the energetic gunk of the past and see the beauty you hold inside your heart. Later this month, the Full Moon in Gemini clarifies your emotional foundations and what you need to feel secure. Invest time in ancestral healing, inner child work, or speak with elders to find peace and clarity. The Sun entering Capricorn will turn up your social life and future aspirations. You'll feel more in your skin as you engage with new groups and networks. Remember that you're worthy of sharing your gifts with the world.

Is the band Pink Slip going to be in Freaky Friday 2?

Anna's pop-rock teen band, Pink Slip, is undoubtedly integral to the plot of the original Freaky Friday, and thankfully, we'll see the band again in Freakier Friday! (Can we get some performances of “Take Me Away” and “Ultimate"?!). "Pink Slip is back together, the band. Yes!” Lindsay Lohan told Jimmy Fallon. “We just finished [filming] in August. It’s just been such a labor of love to make happen. And Jamie [Lee Curtis] and I, even at the table read, we were just smiling so big. I don’t think we were acting well, because we were so happy. But the movie’s funny, it’s really funny.”

"I may or may not have gotten to go to set and been around some pink slip energy," writer Jordan Weiss told me while promoting Sweethearts. "It may or may not have excited my inner child beyond belief because I was a super fan. I was 10 years old when the first movie came out. So 20 years later to get to work on the sequel as part of that team was a dream and, you know, don't meet your heroes unless your heroes are Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, In which case they're amazing. Meet your heroes."

Before the confirmation, a fewFreaky Friday crew members spilled on whether or not we'll actually see the angsty band in the sequel in an interview with Cosmopolitan.

Screenwriter Heather Hach clearly agreed that the soundtrack played a huge part in the movie's plot. "You take out the band element and I don’t think Freaky Friday would be as popular as it is," she said. "It didn’t feel like a derpy Disney movie. The music was actually really good."

Jaclyn Pearson, PHD, the drummer for the band Lash (who wrote the ever-iconic song "Take Me Away"), teased that Freaky Friday 2 might revisit their discography. "We contacted our record label because we heard there might be a sequel," she said. "We’ve got this whole back catalog. Maybe they could use another song for the film."

Producer Andrew Gunn seemed to suggest the same thing: "We got a draft of a script for the sequel right before the writers’ strike, and it was really good. A writer came up with the most brilliant idea. It uses music and the band in a great way."

When is Freakier Friday coming out?

Freakier Friday Release Date

Freaky Friday 2 is coming to theaters on August 8, 2025. This is definitely one of our most-anticipated movies of 2025 now!

Is Chad Michael Murray in Freaky Friday 2?

Freakier Friday Cast

Yes, Chad Michael Murray is returning for the sequel!

"How great would it be to bring Jake back?" he teased during the Mother of the Bride premiere in May 2024. "If Jake's invited back, Jake will be there." Thank goodness they invited him back!

Freaky Friday 2 also stars Mark Harmon, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Lucille Soong, Stephen Tobolowsky, Rosalind Chao, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan.

What is Freakier Friday going to be about?

Freakier Friday Plot

Freaky Friday 2 sees Anna with a family of her own, including a daughter and a future stepdaughter. According to a press release from Disney, "As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice."

"It's going to be a really freaky Friday," Lindsay Lohan told Good Morning America on June 27, 2024. "Much freakier than you would expect."

"[There's] a lot of love, a lot of fun, a lot of laughs," she continues.

A post shared by BitchBeWithYou (@bitchbewithyou)

The first set leaks from Freakier Friday are totally dreamy — and they also prove Anna's just like us, because who didn't go from emo-teen to boho-chic? Jamie Lee Curtis' Tess has published a brand new book, and based on her author photo, she's a lot more carefree than the last time we saw her! We also get a look at new cast member Julia Butters (who might be playing Anna's daughter?) and the internet's newest boyfriend, Manny Jacinto.

Disney posted this sneak-peek screen cap that we can only assume is from the movie. We truly can't wait to watch this sequel!

Are they making a Freaky Friday 2?

Lindsay Lohan said on Andy Cohen's Sirius XM show that Freaky Friday 2 is really and truly happening! However, "I don’t want to say too much,” she said about the potential timeline.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cast could be on set as early as summer 2024. In addition to Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis reprising their roles, Andrew Gunn and Kristin Burr will produce the movie, Elyse Hollander will write the script, and Ann Marie Sanderlin will executive produce. Nisha Ganatra will direct.

While Lindsay is looking forward to the story, she's “just excited to work with Jamie [Lee Curtis] again and see how much further we can take it," she tells PEOPLE. “We talk almost every other day in general, so I think we're going to have a lot of fun with this."

Are Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan friends?

Yes, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are definitely still friends! In November 2023, Curtis shared an adorable Instagram selfie with Lohan, teasing the upcoming project. And after the writers' and actors' strikes ended, project promotion is slowly returning to light.

"YOU GREW UP and SO BEAUTIFULLY!" the caption reads. "Well, it's Friday, and the strike is over so hopefully, we can switch places again in the near future!" She also tagged Lohan and Disney, which teased the iconic ‘03 comedy in a fun way.

What has Jamie Lee Curtis said about Freaky Friday?

Curtis — coming off some serious cinematic hits, Everything Everywhere All At Once and Halloween Ends — still retains a strong bond with Lohan, and hasn’t exactly been shy about her excitement towards circling back to Freaky Friday. Landing the original role and moving through production was undoubtedly significant to the actress: she cites her own success with Tess after taking on the job at the last minute, despite being booked and busy elsewhere.

“Had I had all the time in the world to prepare, I don’t think it would’ve been so good,” Curtis told the New York Times. “I just had to be in my body. I was also newly sober and I was able to have a community within the movie-work world. That was a big deal for me.”

What has Lindsay Lohan said about Freaky Friday?

Lohan told the New York Times that she was ready and raring to tackle 2003’s Freaky Fridayback in the day after rocking a dual-role in 1998's The Parent Trap.

“I threw myself into everything: accents, green screens, playing two people,” said Lohan. “So I felt comfortable after that. Freaky Friday felt different because I was going through all of the phases of a 16-year-old [but playing a character who was a year younger]. This was the era of Avril Lavigne and punk, and I wanted to experience it. We did white stripes in my hair.”

The fame Lohan endured at a young age didn’t always leave a positive effect, and it’s been a hot second since we’ve seen her fully emerge back into the spotlight. The star’s been busy since – she moved to Dubai, manages her overseas businesses, got married, and recently welcomed motherhood. After all that, Lohan remains eager to act again – and thankfully in a second Freaky Friday.

“Jamie and I are both open to that, so we’re leaving it in the hands that be,” Lohan told NYT. “We would only make something that people would absolutely adore.”

It sounds like Curtis is ready, too. "As I went around the world with Halloween Ends, people wanted to know if there was going to be another 'Freaky Friday.' Something really touched a chord. When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, 'It feels like there’s a movie to be made.'"
