Nov 21 – We awaken in the Scorpio New Moon energy, with the Sun opposing Uranus and trining Neptune. There is spiritual support for any instability you feel, inviting you to surrender your ego and connect to your inner True North for centering. 

Any changes you face are here to shake up stagnant energy, so be willing to adapt to alternative ways of operating or trying new paths forward. You are being liberated from old patterns that are weighing you down or holding you hostage, as Neptune dissolves barriers to aid your insight and third eye vision. 

With five planets Retrograde, go within for discovery, growth and guidance as you purge whatever feels toxic to your system (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual). Saturn’s Station slows the pace and creates a more concentrated experience; its turnaround on Nov 27 (Thanksgiving) will amplify the stillness. Hurry up and contemplate…

Nov 21 – As the Sun enters Sagittarius @ 5:36pm PST we feel a shift in the collective as more faith, optimism and possibilities arise, along with a big picture vision. The goal is to find what’s meaningful for you, where you feel aligned, what gives your life purpose, passion and knowing what is true for YOU. 

When you connect to what truly inspires you, it’s a profound, empowering anchor that will propel you forward, allowing you to transcend obstacles that might have stopped you otherwise. I know, I’ve experienced it multiple times in my life. If you’re not there now (or yet) and want to be, don’t be discouraged. Rather, be open, receptive, committed and get ready, by staying engaged in your process of growth and evolution. Have faith, as Divine Timing is always impeccable. 

Nov 22 – Mercury trine Saturn. Mercury trine Jupiter. Mercury Retrograde in the Grand Water Trine invites you to reconsider your thoughts, words, attitudes and projections. Whatever bothers you about others is a mirror for you about You. Is there something you’re being shown that you’ve refused to allow in or see, so  you can stay the same? 

Mercury Rx trine Saturn and Jupiter can make steady progress, but expansion, a higher perspective or a wider net is part of the equation. We’re all being asked to spiral up and evolve; this is part of the process that embodies an ending/new beginning, but something has to go. Think about your thinking and whether or not it’s supporting your growth (and don’t rationalize to justify your rightness :)) And listen, we humans can be very set in our ways, so be kind to yourself. Wherever you’re meant to be led, I believe it’s working on you anyway…

Nov 23 – Sun sextile Pluto. You could have heightened clarity about your path, purpose, direction, your Self and your gifts today. A great day for focused personal work, strategic visioning for your future and actions that elevate your Self-expression and creativity. Very powerful, Sun in Sagittarius and Pluto in Aquarius are looking to innovate the future with optimism, faith and fresh possibilities!

Nov 24 – Mercury conjunct Venus in Scorpio. You may have a deep conversation, transforming creative expression or a magnetic connection with another. Someone can have a profound impact on you, no matter what the circumstance b/c the interaction hits at a soul level, a sexual level or an energetic level that is transformational in some way. If this is you and a healer (or if you are the healer), this would be magic! A good day for deeper discussions that require staying power to get really real.  

Nov 26 – Venus trine Jupiter and Venus trine Saturn. Magnetic Venus in Scorpio arrives in the Grand Water Trine, with passionate desires, control and power, met by nurturing Jupiter in Cancer and receptive Saturn in Pisces. Now you can explore where you are regarding Self-love, worthiness, your values and if they’re being met. 

You may give and receive blessings today, you may make a commitment to another or a vow to your Self (yes, yes, yes!). If you ignore or avoid Self-love to be there for others, you’ll never feel whole. You are important and worthy. Not ego-worthy, heart-worthy. Precious. This is powerful energy for explorations of the heart, to claim what’s needed, wanted, what you have to share and the motivation for it (a check in).

Nov 27 – Thanksgiving. Traditionally, this is a holiday associated with gratitude, abundance and blessings. This year Saturn Stations Direct on TG, casting a heavier tone on the day (Saturn), as well as the very watery chart. Super emotional.  

Saturn Stations Direct at 25º Pisces. When Saturn appears to stand still it amplifies its energy. Saturn is part of the Grand Water Trine and in Pisces, it’s feelings, sacrificing, service, Oneness, intuitive, merging—and we have Mercury and Venus in Scorpio (hidden thoughts, intense desires). Saturn can withdraw, feel heavy, maybe over hurt feelings. Or with this configuration people may be compassionate, caring and willing to be of service for those less fortunate. The dinner conversation could get into some deep topic that is not a typical dinner conversation (Scorpio). Stay tuned. I suggest you create the holiday that you desire. 

On Nov 29 Mercury turns Direct, so Black Friday is on the final day of Mercury Retrograde (Nov 28). What a setup for snafus. Whatever you buy, check the return policy, get a receipt and read the fine print multiple times. I think Black Friday started a month ago, as the marketing, sales, shopping frenzy is out of control. 

Tune in to your Self and you may want to rethink consumerism. It’s a mind game, with algorithms and indoctrinations. The truth has been revealed to us how a small group of people control what we see, hear, read and even buy. Buying local is sweet and connecting. I’m not judging, just asking you to think about what you are doing and why you’re doing it. That’s empowerment.  

The days of living on autopilot are so over. That’s part of what this Retrograde energy is all about. Who are you (now), what’s changed or changing and what can you release to lighten your load moving forward? 

What’s important to you now is often dependent on your stage of life and current circumstances. I suggest that you make it conscious and be willing to rethink any aspect of Self if you receive info or feedback that shows you something isn’t working. If so, there’s a message for you. Please get the message; it’s for your benefit and ultimately, The Greater Good.

Wishing you many blessings on this Thanksgiving. 

I am always grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

The final week of the Sun in Scorpio marks a transitional, introspective phase colored by six retrograde planets, urging you to reassess long-held ideas, beliefs and communications in order to decide what’s viable and what to discard on your journey forward. 

Integration is occurring on multiple levels, as our landscape shifts dramatically and our energetic bodies, minds and emotional bodies are in flux seeking to stabilize. We have five planets in sensitive water signs, highlighting flow, as we’re being guided by intuition and feelings. 

We are also inching toward a deeper shift as Mercury Retrograde prepares to re-enter Scorpio, inviting us to dive beneath the surface to recover hidden info and reclaim buried aspects of Self. Themes of truth, a new reality, personal responsibility and emotional clarity arise as the slow-moving outer planets, along with Mercury, nudge you into a subtle realignment of deeper patterns.

Nov 17 – Sun trine Jupiter and Sun trine Saturn. The Grand Trine in water signs activates the potential for direction and purpose, constructive, harmonious flow and practical actions. Good timing. Jupiter promotes faith and inspiration, a bigger picture, and it can give you the confidence to stretch beyond old paradigms and programming. Saturn demands restraint, solid structures and strategic steps that create progress with a solid plan. The Sun in powerful Scorpio can give you the focus to utilize this feeling energy to integrate old limitations and evolve your intentions.

Nov 17 – Mercury Retrograde sextile Pluto. This is the second meeting of three (Oct 29, Dec 10) for this pair. Skip the superficial. This can be a continuing exploration/conversation, going deeper each time, which has a profound impact on you. It can be an epiphany or transformation via problem-solving. Your evolving “Voice”  may create impact in your world, your community or the larger stage. This supports research, detective work, bypassing the noise to get to the core of the matter.

Pluto’s intuitive gifts are potent, reading the room, sensing hidden agendas and knowing what to share and what to withhold for best effect. When you need to focus and be tuned in, this is the best—and with the Grand Trine in Water, there’s abundant flow to harmonize this powerful, intense energy.

Nov 18 – Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio. Now Mercury is back in deep-feeling, intuitive Scorpio and it will be bringing up what needs to be seen, learned and revealed—maybe on a personal level for you, but surely on a global level for the collective. Stay tuned… 

Nov 19 – New Moon in Scorpio @ 10:47pm PST / Nov 20 @ 1:47am EST. The New Moon is the time for new beginnings—whether you pursue a dream, goal, idea, plan or project. Set your intention and place your attention on what you want to grow or create and ride the wave as you allow the Lunar energy to support you. Utilize the spirit of regeneration to create a breakthrough.

Scorpio rules metamorphosis by deconstructing what’s no longer sustainable and the rebirth creates a “cosmic upgrade.” The ultimate result is transcendence over old, stale non-working patterns, structures and relationships. Emotions are intensified and your desires are strong, so check your motives before you act: are you in integrity, seeking to contribute or are you operating from ego-driven, fear-based, self-serving desires? You should be able to feel the difference.

Watch for obsessive thinking that can blind you to the big picture. Examine your current choices and make decisions with consciousness from your Higher Self. This is real empowerment. Consider what you can release to support stepping into your power.

Projection is a Scorpio domain, ruled by the unconscious. Know that behaviors that bother you in others are showing up for you to explore within yourself. Don’t miss the opportunity to evolve, awaken and to integrate unconscious beliefs by living in judgment of others, no matter how it’s disguised (caring, analysis, being right, etc.).

Those who are in their power have no need to dominate or control; they feel safe and secure knowing that they are operating in integrity, aligned with the Greater Good. It takes courage to let go of the familiar and step into the void until the next step or way of being is revealed, which is part of the process of transformation. 

Trust in the cycles of life, knowing that whatever comes up that is uncomfortable or dark has come up to be recognized and healed, released and integrated. 

This New Moon at 28º Scorpio conjoins Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio, so your thinking, communications and what’s hidden are in the mix of this new beginning. Seeds are being planted. Step into your Authority and deliberately plant yours by creating intentions and actions to support your intentions.   

Mercury, The Sun and Moon are part of a Kite configuration—trine Jupiter and trine Saturn (this is the flowy part that is creative, intuitive, emotional and supportive). But radical Uranus, the Great Awakener, is opposing the Sun, Moon and Mercury, shaking up the experience. 

This is a new beginning with a twist; a powerful New Moon that will not allow you to be complacent and stick with the status quo. The unexpected is likely, which may be personal or global, but it will take out what is stale and needs to go. But remember, there’s plenty of support to ease the shift. 

Mercury conjunct the Sun during the New Moon offers access to Divine Wisdom and Guidance, you may have a flash of insight or a sudden understanding where you had been unclear. It’s new info delivered with grace to support you. What a gift. Even if it’s shocking, wait and see how it ultimately serves you and the Greater Good.

So that’s a lot of transformational potential that is available and on the way. No matter where you are on your path of evolution, there is something waiting for you to create and discover. Make it a meaningful journey and be willing to be surprised. Trust your inner guidance and raise your frequency for the best possible experience. 

I am always grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

It’s an active week with the focus on three Retrograde planets inviting us to revisit key areas of life. This is a moment to pause and take stock, to be aware of how life is unfolding as we travel the collective yellow brick road. We don’t know exactly where we’re going, because we’re creating our path moment by moment with every choice we make. Now that’s true power and creativity—knowing that you have the freedom to change your mind, create new possibilities, and realign your life as needed and desired. 

Nov 7 – You may feel a shift in the field as Uranus Retrograde returns to earthy Taurus for the final time after four months in speedy, mental Gemini. Uranus, The Great Awakener, revisits the physical-material world for a cosmic wake-up call regarding stability, security, resources and the body. Uranus in Taurus began in 2018 and ends in late April 2026, urging you to clarify your values and priorities, as well as redefining what abundance and security looks like for you. 

Your comfort zone may actually be a prison of sorts; be open to reevaluating and releasing what’s not for your Highest Good. As physical conditions fluctuate, cultivate adaptability as you simplify and focus on what supports your well being, rather than clinging to old paradigms and rigid requirements. If there is stagnant energy limiting you, you are ripe for movement and a let-go. Don’t allow who you’ve been being to obstruct you from new possibilities. 

Nov 7 – Pluto square Venus in Scorpio. This can be an intense experience—passionate, dramatic, life-changing. A hard truth may be delivered or you discover a hidden agenda. Secrets are revealed, intimacy can be magnetic and obsessive, heartbreak can occur and dysfunctional attachment patterns can go into overdrive. Power dynamics and unconscious shadowy energies can drag you down. 

Venus-Pluto can rock your world in the moment, but it’s profound when used in service to truth. It can go dark or deep, depending on the intention. If you’re willing to be honest with yourself and others you can create a real healing, but first it will reveal something that was in hiding. Use any heavy experiences for your awakening and transformation, as there is likely info about how you give your power away to fulfill your desires. This is about old imprints, beliefs and patterns that can be uprooted and transformed.

Nov 9-29 – Mercury Stations Retrograde in Sagittarius until Nov 17, then Scorpio until Dec 10. Sagittarius rules travel, so consider plans, schedules, bookings, airline info, car rentals and car maintenance, especially for the holidays. Read the fine print and pay attention to cancellation policies. Be mindful and take extra time to double check decisions, purchases and paperwork. 

Sagittarius rules beliefs and is not known for its discretion, rather, it speaks in service to its truth and can be blunt, so think twice about what you say, post, email, as you may be more impulsive than usual and then have to backtrack. Mercury Rx lends itself to miscommunication, so move thoughtfully and when in doubt, hold your tongue.

This is a perfect time to clear clutter, create space, contemplate your current position and take a breath to review, reflect and revise as needed. Align with the cosmic rhythm, rather than trying to push forward, especially this weekend during the Mercury turnaround, as timing issues and snafus are often heightened. 

Keep your eyes open to see what appears that was missing, who shows up from your past or make amends where you’ve wronged another during this time of review. Use it well. Don’t worry or awfulize, as you call in the lower frequencies that you don’t want. 

Nov 11 – Jupiter Stations Retrograde. Review territory you’ve covered since mid-August, while focusing on your personal life, home, family and needs. This is a time for reconsidering your beliefs, direction and current inspiration to see what’s aligned for you. Revising your big picture vision may be part of your path as you integrate new perspectives and experiences that have changed you or changed your focus, with love and care. 

Nov 12 – Mercury Rx conjunct Mars. Mercury is basically standing still from its turnaround and here’s Mars, ready to go in Sagittarius. This combo can either give you great enthusiasm, courage with conscience, focus and drive with conviction to speak and act or clarity that illuminates a vision. It can also evoke frustration, defensiveness or verbal attacks, depending on the situation and stimulus. Don’t take the bait.

With Mercury Rx, you may not be clear, so before you jump the gun or lose your temper, be sure you understand what is communicated—and whether it’s true or real. Easy does it today and don’t go into overdrive as that’s a setup for mistakes. Channel the heat—write, strategize or do something physical to blow off steam. Maybe work on a project by yourself and if needed. This can be useful with consciousness.

Practice impeccable Self-care this week with the shifting energies. It’s like changing from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time; your mind gets the memo, but your body and nervous system may not transition as easily, especially with multiple energetic streams operating on their own timeline.

Practice Wu Wei, flowing around obstacles and in harmony with nature. Feel what fits and what doesn’t, where you’re being called and release what you can gently. No rush, no hurry. Make this a spiritual practice. How to be in harmony with your environment and aligned with your Inner Guidance. 

What a mission. Harmony, alignment, releasing what’s no longer needed. 

Bite-sized is better. Real life is healing and healthy. Creativity is enlivening. And you are becoming reborn whether you know it or not… it’s impossible to stay stagnant in this energy. We are all part of the wave.

I am always grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

We open the week still in a Grand Water Trine (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn-Neptune) until Nov 4 when Mars leaves Scorpio. Until then, practice being in the flow of this feeling energy and see where it carries you.

Venus, Chiron and Jupiter are in a T-Square, potentially amplifying any dysfunctional patterns that diminish you or others, or that are just non-productive. At its best this aspect can have a compassionate heart with a generous spirit that sees others through the eyes of love, which is always a choice and just what we need. Or literal generosity, offering help via $$ and resources to those in need.

Venus opposing Chiron can illuminate what’s out of balance within you regarding your worthiness. Chiron in Aries is about identity, autonomy and beliefs that diminish you. Typical Venus issues are people-pleasing, sacrificing for others and undervaluing yourself.

Jupiter in Cancer can amplify this by over-giving and overdoing. This can play out in relationships or via inner conflicts about giving and receiving. You will feel where you’re out of balance and that’s where the work is if you want to rectify it, which you deserve so you can be free, healthy and whole. It’s a quality of life element.

Nov 4-Dec 15 – Mars in Sagittarius seeks freedom, adventure and will make bold moves when inspired to take action. This Mars is enthusiastic with conviction and confidence. However, with Mercury Retrograde arriving on Nov 9 for three weeks, you may want to temper your actions by thinking things through rather than just jumping in the way Mars in Sagittarius loves to do. Although the optimistic outlook often creates positive outcomes, you still need to be conscious of what you’re doing and when with this “can-do” energy.

Nov 4 – Mars opposite Uranus. When Mars arrives in Sagittarius, it faces unpredictable, rebellious Uranus, which means you can expect a plot twist, resistance to a restriction, a conflict or uprising. This can be on the world stage or in your life, but it is reactive, quick and can trigger the nervous system, so take care. Maybe you’re ready to take action and do something and this is the spark you’ve been waiting for…

Nov 5 – Full SuperMoon in Taurus @ 5:19am PST. This Full SuperMoon is big and bright, the closest to earth this year. Taurus craves peace, comfort and security, as you stabilize yourself by grounding in your reality. Nourish your body with good food, rest and nature, flowers and music—whatever feeds you.

The Sun in Scorpio illuminates what’s hidden or operating in the shadows for you to process, so the more you are in truth and integrity, the better, which is especially stabilizing with all the changes. Taurus and Scorpio is building and upheaval, creating and releasing, yin and yang—a rhythm.

The Full Moon sextiles the North Node (Destiny) and trines the South Node (past), which supports releasing old attachments to open to what’s calling you forward. Or at the least, to create space for when it arrives: your next step in The New Earth, a new world, a new life, a new expression of You.

The big message is that security is an inside job and You are your greatest resource. Money and material things can come and go, but when you trust your Self you know that you will always land on your feet and rise to the occasion, whatever is needed.

Nov 6 – Mars sextile Pluto. This gives you a big jolt of fiery energy to take action and make a move. If you’re starting something you will be hot to trot, highly motivated and fearless. Use it well.

Nov 6-29 – Venus in Scorpio. This is a deep, passionate expression of Venus who will lock into what it desires with energetic claws. It doesn’t let go, give up or lose interest. Sometimes love and desire is mixed with issues around power, $$ and sex, so it can be manipulative or controlling. There’s a magnetic quality these types have, like the hot guy or the seductress archetypes, but it doesn’t have to be that obvious.

See what and who you’re attracted to during this time, what feels like it’s got a grip on you (if anything). You may have a fascination with secrets about sex, death and $$. The Epstein case is all about this…

So that’s the week. We’re just riding through the relentless changes and by now, we’re getting good at it. The work is knowing what to keep and what to release—and if you don’t do it this time, you’ll get another chance again for sure. Life will circle back to remind you if you’re holding on, protecting something or hiding out. I remind you that you are being led somewhere and the more curious you are about your own journey, the more engaged and empowered you will become.

I suggest that you minimize your intake of the barrage of info and stories being delivered about everything. Bite-sized is better. Real life is healing and healthy. Creativity is enlivening. And you are becoming new whether you know it or not… it’s impossible to stay stagnant in this energy. We are all part of the wave.

I am always grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷
