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. 🌷
“When we walk like we are rushing, we print anxiety and sorry on the earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earth. Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

“The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.” ~ Albert Einstein

“Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment we know how, we begin to die a little. We never entirely know. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.” ~ Agnes de Mille

“The rational mind is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.” ~ Carl Jung, who feared people would sacrifice their true Self for the sake of social acceptance
