The week opens with two Stations: Saturn in Pisces Stationed Direct on Nov 27 followed by Mercury Stationing Direct in Scorpio on Nov 29. With these two planets changing direction within 48 hours, the atmosphere becomes concentrated, slowing movement and focusing awareness as fresh info, insights and clarity will then arise with each passing day. As the planets gain momentum, the pulse of life will be revitalizing, offering renewed inspiration and inspired actions that will carry you toward 2026. 

Nov 29 – Mercury Stations Direct. When Mercury stops to change direction, the few days around it can feel stagnant and there can be snafus, so be mindful. Mercury in Scorpio Direct activates the reveal of info that’s been buried, hidden or withheld. New details come to light that will inform what you’re planning, working on, thinking about and you will gain insights that empower your decision-making. 

This places both Saturn and Mercury in a Grand Water Trine with Neptune in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer. Whereas Mercury wants data, facts and evidence, the emotional Grand Water Trine is loaded with feeling and flow, as well as intuitive, creative, spiritual messages and channeled guidance, which provides a level of multi-dimensionality that a usual Mercury or Saturn wouldn’t access. This space is rich with potential and messengers—seen and unseen. Stay open to what you see (literally and figuratively), hear and sense, verbal and non-verbal. 

Saturn-Mercury Direct reinforces the themes of truth, integration, stabilization, closure, supportive boundaries and an assessment of what’s sustainable and what’s not as we approach the end of 2025. You are about to launch into a period of movement and methodical actions designed to manifest your vision and make it your reality.

Nov 29 – Venus opposite Uranus. This is some kind of shakeup or unexpected curveball, which could come at you or from you. Venus relates to your worthiness, values, $$, relationships, where you may address boundary or commitment issues. Anything that feels out of alignment or unsatisfying can be up for discussion or sudden change. Emotional intensity can be high, you (or they) may make sudden decisions or changes that goes to liberation or freedom.

You may experience a flash of clarity and the release of a fixed pattern if you work the energy consciously. Maybe you just need a little excitement or a change of pace for a day or two. Neptune is in a supportive aspect to both Venus and Uranus, which can soften the potential edginess, but it can also create a vision that is lovely but isn’t real, so do a reality check before you make a dramatic move. Neptune can find a creative solution to a problem if you utilize your Higher Self vision and it can access your dreams; your true GPS. You will never go wrong there. 

Nov 30 – Venus trine Neptune. Compassion, empathy, love and care for those less fortunate. Also, spiritual and intuitive practices, unconditional love, creative expression and appreciation. Very sensitive and beautiful, nature is soothing, romantic and open-hearted, and it all leads back to a precious inner space within You. 

Nov 30-Dec 24. Venus in Sagittarius. This is an upbeat, playful, open-minded, adventurous type, ready to go and looking for playmates or their tribe. Generous, optimistic, with high ideals. This lightens the vibe all around when Venus in Sagittarius is in the mix and it can allow for more fun with loved ones and friends.

Dec 2 – Venus sextile Pluto. Personally, consider your worthiness and how that affects so many areas of your life (relationships, $$, beauty, creativity). You may experience yourself on a deeper level today via an interaction that accesses inner parts of you that you don’t normally share. It can be a love relationship, a friendship or an acquaintance who you open to in a more honest, revealing way. 

You may make a powerful connection with someone who has a real impact on you. Or you may be in a group with a mission to transform human relations for the Greater Good or another intention that increases connections. Even a brief exchange can make an impression on you (and them) and there’s usually a message for you if you look for it. I see it as a blessing.

Dec 4 – Full SuperMoon in Gemini @ 3:14pm PST. The Full Moon brings things to light and illuminates what needs to be seen. Extra bright and emotional (SuperMoon) because it’s close to the earth, the Moon in Gemini speaks to thinking, interactions, communications, networking, community, info, education. It’s the multi-tasker who loves activity and socializing—perfect for the holiday season, but be mindful when accepting invitations and making promises that you don’t overextend yourself and hit the wall.

Check to see if your thinking is working for you or if you are holding on to old stories that are no longer relevant. What are you telling yourself about yourself, others and the world—and is that serving you? Unless you want to carry it into 2026, it’s time to release old patterns to prepare to launch into the new year.

The Full Moon is squared by The Nodes of Fate. The South Node (past) is in Virgo, which is the energy you want to release—the perfection, the busyness, old systems, the “right” way— while the North Node (Destiny) is in Pisces, where you’re meant to be going. The North Node in Pisces is about Being, feeling your way along with a clear connection to your Intuitive Guidance for direction and faith that All is in Divine Order.

The Nodes give you a road map and show you what to let go of and what to move toward—and in this pair there’s a heavy emphasis on letting go of the past routines to be available to flow forward with faith and connection to All That Is. Pisces is your dreams and they are not placed within you randomly; they are meant for you…

We keep getting this message in so many ways: release the old, let go of what’s not working, outdated and over. This is not easy for many humans, but you are being invited (or pushed) into a new world if you don’t flow willingly, aligned with your Authentic Self. If you have resistance, practice opening to the new or unknown in baby steps. Consider it a science experiment…

At the same time, I completely believe that all is well wherever you are in your journey, however you’re doing it—and that you will be led to wherever you need to be. We are in this adventure together and each one of us is having our own personal experience of soul and personality growth and evolution in our own way.

There’s a lot going on, but don’t push. Stay in the flow and attune within.

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

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. 🌷
