Your Weekly Parenting Horoscope For November 28-December 4

It's true: Your zodiac sign plays a part in how you can live your best life — from which sex position you should try to targeting your dream-career direction. Romper partnered with astrologer Maressa Brown to share how every sign can put the current astrological aspects to work and enjoy even more happiness, wellness, and love every week. Here's your weekly parenting horoscope for November 28-December 4.

You're likely going to be just getting back into the daily grind after the long holiday weekend when a burst of take-charge energy strikes, thanks to a new moon in Sagittarius on Tuesday. A new moon is usually the perfect time to plant seeds you want to see grow or get the ball rolling on a big project. But because this particular new moon has a challenging aspect to Neptune — the planet of spirituality that has a way of blurring facts and rational thought — scandal and misinformation may be dominating headlines. And in our personal lives, it'll be important to try not to get carried away by unrealistic aspirations.

At the same time, lofty, ambitious goals (like shooting to breastfeed a bit longer than you initially planned or starting that workout routine to stay energized through the holidays) are encouraged, because on Thursday, go-getter Mars in Aquarius forms a positive angle to lucky Jupiter in Libra — something that happens just once this year — giving us the drive and good fortune to make a dream come true.

Finally, on Friday, the planet of communication Mercury moves ahead in Capricorn, where it'll remain until its retrograde begins on December 19. This energy is all about putting your nose to the grindstone to get any and all important to-dos (shopping for the kids' holiday gifts or maybe heavier-duty stuff like checking in on finances with your partner) are checked off your list.

Double-check the details, then go for it.

Carving out time for loved ones will come more easily around Thursday, thanks to a positive angle between lucky Jupiter in your fourth house of home life and ambitious Mars in your eighth house of sexual intimacy.

A date night with your partner or hookup you've been planning could be stalled by aggravating roadblocks (like a flaky sitter, fussy baby, or work project plagued by miscommunication) around Tuesday, the new moon in your fifth house of romance forms a challenging angle to mystical Neptune in your eighth house of sexual intimacy.

Around Tuesday, when the new moon in your fourth house of family and home life forms a challenging angle to mystical Neptune in your seventh house of partnership, you may want to dive into a major undertaking (like starting to work on the nursery with your partner or broaching that tough topic with your mother-in-law), only to feel like it's hard to get the momentum going. Do your best to stay mindful, mama. Any moves you make now are progress, even if it's slower than you'd like.

Around Tuesday, when the new moon is in your third house of communication, forming a negative angle to Neptune in your sixth house of routine, you'll do well to pitch a trusted mentor or confidant that kinda out-there but forward-thinking proposal you've been mulling over (maybe like learning about hypnobirthing for your next delivery or pursuing a side hustle). Their reception may not initially be as clear or straightforward as you would like, but you'll be relieved that you spoke up and got the conversation started.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

You could be overwhelmed by a personal goal (like getting into a routine with yoga or trying a new dating site) around Tuesday when the new moon is in your sign. But because the moon forms a hard angle to spiritual Neptune in your fourth house of home life, you may be aching for the familiar, like staying with the babies before enjoying a glass of merlot, Gilmore Girls, and an early bedtime. See if you can strike a healthy balance, taking even a small step to achieving your goal. You'll feel less stressed, and maybe even right on track.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Mercury, the planet of communication, enters your sign on Friday, where it'll hang out 'til its retrograde turn on December 19.
