This Week Is Going to Change Your Life: The Playbook So You Don’t Miss It

Thought this week would be business as usual? Think again. Between Mercury retrograde wreaking havoc, Venus in Scorpio intensifying everything, and most importantly, tomorrow’s 11:11 portal arriving with its massive transformative power, the next seven days are going to be a concentrated dose of cosmic energy. If you play your cards right, this week can literally shift your life in the right direction. If you just survive it without preparation, you’re going to find it draining and chaotic. So here’s exactly what’s coming day by day, and how to turn this intensity into a launchpad instead of an obstacle.

Why This Week Is Exceptional (And Kind of Scary)

Let’s be clear: this isn’t your average week. This is a portal week, a pivotal week, one of those rare periods where the universe opens the floodgates and gives you access to massive transformational energy. But as always with big energy, it can go either way. Either you ride the wave and experience major breakthroughs, unexpected shifts, and wild opportunities. Or you resist, you panic, and the wave crashes right over you.

The centerpiece of this week is obviously tomorrow’s 11:11 portal on Tuesday, November 11th. In numerology, 11 is a master number, a number of magic, intuition, and spiritual alignment. When it appears doubled (11:11), it’s like the universe is pressing a cosmic button to amplify everything that’s ready to emerge in you. Your intentions become more powerful. Your intuitions clearer. Your blocks more visible too, because everything that needs to leave rises to the surface to be released.

Add to that Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius since yesterday, slowing everything down and forcing you to review, revise, reconsider. Plus Venus in Scorpio since the 6th, making your relationships and emotions ultra-intense. Plus Mars in Sagittarius pushing you to act but sometimes impulsively. It’s an explosive, fascinating, destabilizing cocktail. So buckle up.

Your Day-by-Day Roadmap for the Week

Monday, November 10th: Preparation and Clarity

Today is your prep day. Tomorrow the portal opens, but if you show up without doing your inner housework, you’re just going to amplify the chaos. So this Monday, we’re laying the groundwork.

What’s happening energetically: The energy is building slowly. You’re probably already feeling a certain restlessness, excitement mixed with anxiety. That’s normal. Your energy body is picking up what’s coming and preparing itself.

What you need to do: Clarify your intentions. Not tomorrow, today. Take a quiet moment and ask yourself these questions: What do I really want to manifest in my life right now? What needs to leave so something new can arrive? What am I ready to let go of? Write down your answers. Be specific. Vagueness attracts vagueness, clarity attracts clarity.

What you need to avoid: Making important decisions today. With Mercury retrograde just starting, this isn’t the time to sign a contract, launch a project, or make a call on a complex situation. Today, we prepare, we clarify, we lay foundations. Action comes later.

Tuesday, November 11th: The 11:11 Portal

This is THE day. The energy peak of the week, the month, maybe even the year. The 11:11 portal is a cosmic window where your intentions are amplified, where the invisible becomes visible, where magic happens if you believe in it.

What’s happening energetically: Jupiter goes retrograde in Cancer on this day, adding a layer of emotional and spiritual introspection. It’s an invitation to look inward rather than outward, to cultivate your inner wealth rather than seeking validation and abundance externally.

What you need to do: At exactly 11:11am (set an alarm), stop whatever you’re doing. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Visualize what you want to manifest as if it’s already real. Feel the emotions associated with it. Then state your intentions mentally or out loud. Be specific but not rigid. For example: « I’m manifesting a romantic relationship aligned with my values » rather than « I want Thomas to come back. » Let the universe surprise you with the form, but be clear on the essence.

If you can, create a small ritual. Light a candle, write your intentions on paper, meditate, pull tarot cards. What matters is that it’s meaningful to you, not that it’s complicated.

What you need to avoid: Spending this day stressed, distracted, or scattered. If you have the option to carve out time this Tuesday (take your lunch break in disconnection mode, wake up 20 minutes earlier to meditate, go to bed earlier to integrate), do it. This day deserves your presence.

Wednesday, November 12th: Watch Your Words

The day after the portal, the energy comes down a bit, but watch out: Mercury and Mars meet up in Sagittarius today. Translation: your words are going to be sharp, direct, sometimes hurtful without you really meaning them to be.

What’s happening energetically: The Mercury-Mars conjunction in Sagittarius makes communication very impulsive. With Mercury retrograde on top of it, it’s the perfect combo for saying exactly the wrong thing, at the wrong time, to the wrong person.

What you need to do: Think before you speak. Seriously. Count to 10 before responding to that message that irritates you. Don’t start ideological debates with your coworkers or family. Channel this Mars energy into sports, creativity, physical action, not verbal sparring.

What you need to avoid: Hot-button topics. Politics, religion, parenting, anything touching on deep beliefs. Today, everyone thinks they’re right and nobody’s listening. Keep your opinions to yourself or write them in your journal.

Thursday, November 13th: The Power of 13

The number 13, which fascinates and frightens. In numerology, 13 (1+3=4) is a number of transformation followed by stability. It’s the creative chaos that leads to a new order.

What’s happening energetically: After the intensity of the previous days, you’re entering a digestion phase. Your inner system is integrating everything that’s happened since Monday. Don’t be surprised if you feel tired, a bit disoriented, emotionally raw.

What you need to do: Slow down. Take care of yourself. This isn’t the time to force, to push, to overwork yourself. Your body and psyche need rest to integrate the changes underway. Sleep more, eat better, drink water, walk in nature if you can.

What you need to avoid: Judging yourself if you’re not at your best. Transformation is exhausting. It’s normal to feel drained after such an intense period. Be gentle with yourself.

Friday, November 14th: Develop Your Intuition

The energy stabilizes a bit. It’s the perfect time to work on your intuition, your connection to your inner guidance.

What’s happening energetically: With several planets in water signs (Neptune in Pisces, Saturn in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer), your sensitivity and intuition are heightened. It’s a favorable period for catching signs, synchronicities, subtle messages.

What you need to do: Practice inner listening. Meditation, journaling, meditative walks, card readings, anything that allows you to connect with yourself. Note your dreams from last night, they probably contain important messages.

What you need to avoid: Looking for answers outside yourself. Today, everything you need is already within you. Trust yourself.

Weekend November 15-16: Integration and Review

The weekend arrives to allow you to integrate this crazy week. Use it to take stock.

What’s happening energetically: Saturday the 15th is the perfect time for deeper reflection on Scorpio energy. Sunday the 16th, focus on grounding practices, perfect for anchoring the energy.

What you need to do: Come back to your 11:11 intentions. What’s shifted since Tuesday? What did you feel? What’s changed, even subtly? Write it all down. Transformations aren’t always spectacular, they’re often quiet but deep.

What you need to avoid: Telling yourself nothing changed if you don’t see immediate results. The seeds planted Tuesday germinate in the invisible before becoming visible. Trust the process.

Your 3 Mantras for the Week

Monday-Tuesday: « I am aligned with my deepest intentions. »

Wednesday-Thursday: « I choose my words with awareness and kindness. »

Friday-Sunday: « I trust my intuition and the universe’s timing. »

The Bottom Line

This week of November 10-16 isn’t an ordinary week. It’s a portal week, an initiatory week, one of those periods where your life can shift if you’re present, conscious, intentional. Tuesday’s 11:11 portal is a golden opportunity to plant seeds of transformation that will germinate in the weeks and months ahead.

But be warned, this intensity also requires presence, awareness, preparation. You can’t sleepwalk through this week and expect miracles. You have to engage, get involved, play along.

So this Monday, take time to set your intentions. Tuesday, honor the portal with a ritual that feels right to you. Wednesday, watch your words. Thursday, rest. Friday, listen to your intuition. And this weekend, review with kindness.

Seven days can change everything. As long as you’re fully there to live them.

So, are you ready?
