Weekly Summary: NOVEMBER 9 - NOVEMBER 15

"…re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body."

—Walt Whitman
Preface - Leaves of Grass

Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius at the beginning of the week, followed up by Jupiter's station retrograde on Tuesday. These 'stationary' planets aren't especially comfortable as they undertake their review process. Mercury isn't terribly comfortable in Sagittarius anyway and this particular 'station' is likely to leave us initially feeling rather 'lost', at 'loose ends', or generally lacking a clear sense of direction. Perhaps the only escape from the initial discomfort is through service to others — stepping as far outside of our personal bubble as we can in order to connect to a deeper sense of purpose through our connections to those around us. Mercury, in tandem with Mars in Sagittarius, can quickly provoke some defensiveness when our mind isn't offering as many 'answers' as we would like. Jupiter's station in Cancer seems to push us even further towards defensiveness and increase a feeling of isolation. Jupiter's expansiveness can feel restricted as it retrogrades in Cancer, suggesting a turn inward. But Mercury's second (of 3) exact conjunctions with Mars, occurring on Wednesday encourages us to find a 'Megaphone' — our 'voice' — and 'turn up the volume'. The first Mars-Mercury conjunction occurred last month in Scorpio and was rather subdued — more interested in laying foundations than making pronouncements. While we may not actually have a clear message to deliver quite yet — our first attempts to deliver our message this week are likely to 'fracture' — we do quickly begin to adapt (as we move through the week) to the new 'review process' that has been initiated. While there may be significant discomfort — the waning lunar cycle suggests a dimming of our 'light' — the review process that we begin this week will help us to find increased connection and embrace a deeper sense of cooperation with others. Mercury's retrograde motion, from Sagittarius back into Scorpio, will help us to re-organize our idealistic ideas and intentions into a determined new way forward. We may struggle to clearly see or understand how any momentum that develops this week will ultimately unfold. Nonetheless, we will see that this week's efforts flow directly into next Wednesday's Scorpio New Moon (10:46 PM PST 28° Scorpio). Our determination and follow-through will be unmistakable and the new lunar cycle will give us the traction that we seem to be lacking this week. The Sun is beginning to connect to both Jupiter and Saturn in a Grand Water Trine, producing an increasingly intense flow of emotion heading into next week's New Moon. That emotion will be combined into this week's steadily building stream of connection and cooperation, unfolding into a cohesive and productive flow of new information once we begin the new lunar cycle.

We may feel lost or at loose ends on Sunday. Perhaps the only escape from the discomfort is through service to others — stepping as far outside of our personal bubble as we can in order to connect to a deeper sense of purpose through our connections to those around us. There is quite an emotional roller coaster of frustrated, ego-driven independence on Monday. Nonetheless, with enough awareness, we'll recognize the need to back off and allow everyone the space to have their 'say' without too much righteous judgment. Accepting outside help is difficult on Tuesday. The key is to set aside the self-serving defensiveness and recognize the importance of making connections to others and finding ways to be of service to a 'higher purpose'. Although we may believe that we have found a 'Megaphone' on Wednesday, our ability to convey our message seems to quickly 'fracture'. However, we do find a 'thread' of meaning to follow that we aren't inclined to set aside quickly. There is a surprising and unexpected level of cooperation that we can begin to see unfolding on Thursday. However, we may not see how all of the pieces will fall into place productively. Emotions stabilize on Friday with sharp, clear-eyed analysis. As we move past our defensiveness, we can gain better insight into how to be of service to others. We get a strong reminder of our need for others on Saturday. Nonetheless, we may need to guard against pushing too hard or expecting quick resolutions.


Sunday November 09, 2025

Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius today and will return to both sextile Pluto and oppose Uranus two more times over the next few weeks. Mercury's discomfort in Sagittarius is quite pronounced today as the 'stationary' effect is likely to have us feeling especially 'lost' or at loose ends with little clear sense of direction. Even the Scorpio Venus and Scorpio Sun don't seem to offer much sense of determination or 'purpose'. At the same time, the Cancer Moon approaches a conjunction with Jupiter and square to Chiron, which is turning up our idealism. Perhaps the only escape from today's discomfort is through service to others — stepping as far outside of our personal bubble as we can in order to connect to a deeper sense of purpose through our connections to those around us.

Monday November 10, 2025

The Moon goes VOC this morning following a trine to Neptune (8:53 AM PST) and a sextile to Uranus (9:22 AM PST). This morning's idealism and heightened sensitivity is likely to explode dramatically this afternoon with the Moon's arrival in Leo. The Moon opposes Pluto (12:15 PM PST), then goes on to trine Mars (5:47 PM PST) and square Venus (6:43 PM PST). This suggests quite an emotional roller coaster of frustrated, ego-driven independence — essentially, unproductive 'windmill tilting'. Nonetheless, with enough awareness, we'll recognize the need to back off here, allowing everyone the space to have their 'say' without too much righteous judgment. When we can keep our egos in check, we won't be as inclined to go on defense. Setting aside jealousy and mistrust and avoiding defensiveness is extremely powerful here.

Tuesday November 11, 2025

The retrograde station of Jupiter today may seem to push us further towards defensiveness and increase a feeling of isolation. Accepting outside help is especially challenging today. Nonetheless, the re-forming Mercury-Mars conjunction (completing tomorrow afternoon) is beginning to offer an outlet for a more expansive and idealistic vision. We are reaching the place where we can begin to incorporate lessons learned over the past few months in order to stabilize our sense of purpose — our aims and goals. Mercury's return to Scorpio on November 19th will help us to firm up our strategy and determination on a much firmer foundation. At this point, the key is to set aside the self-serving defensiveness and recognize the importance of making connections to others and finding ways to be of service to a 'higher purpose'.

Wednesday November 12, 2025

Mercury's 2nd conjunction with Mars and the Moon's square to Uranus this afternoon sets off some significant fireworks.The first conjunction occurred in Scorpio at last month's Libra New Moon (5:24 AM PDT 28° Libra) and was rather subdued — more interested in laying foundations than making pronouncements. However, the 'megaphone' is suddenly in our hands and 'turned up'. The Moon moves quickly into Virgo (ruled by Mercury) right after the square to Uranus (3:51 PM PST), which may seem to fracture or confuse our message. However, we do find a 'thread' of meaning to follow today that we aren't inclined to set aside quickly. In essence, we are beginning to recognize a path forward that allows us to pull together — in a coherent message — a wealth of experiences.

Thursday November 13, 2025

The Moon squares the Mars-Mercury conjunction overnight and sextiles Venus by 7:46 AM PST. The Virgo Moon helps us to organize our thoughts and begin to adapt to the retrograde motion of both Mercury and Jupiter. There is a surprising and unexpected level of cooperation that we can begin to see unfolding. As the Moon wanes in light, we may struggle to clearly see or understand how today's momentum will ultimately unfold but this energy will continue to flow into next Wednesday's Scorpio New Moon (10:46 PM PST 28° Scorpio) when the determination and follow through will be unmistakable. The Sun has begun to connect to both Jupiter and Saturn in a Grand Water Trine that will continue to intensify the flow of emotion. That emotion will be combined into today's steady stream of connection and cooperation, unfolding into a cohesive and productive flow of new information.

Friday November 14, 2025

The Moon stirs the forming Grand Water Trine today, stabilizing the emotional elements with a sharp, clear-eyed analysis. As we have moved past the defensiveness that was seen earlier in the week, we can gain better insight into how to be of service to others while maintaining our individual ability to discriminate and direct our efforts to where they can be most effective. We are also recognizing areas of investigation that need further attention. Today's environment offers us added determination and persistence to go back and clarify ideas, insights, and information that we may have overlooked over the past few weeks and months. In essence, this is a time to overcome past mistakes, challenges, or failures in order to find a new way forward.

Saturday November 15, 2025

The Sun's quincunx to Chiron today helps to prepare us for the emotional watershed coming through next week's Grand Water Trine. The Moon arrives in Libra early this morning (1:41 AM PST) following a trine to Uranus (1:08 AM PST). Today's Libra Moon is a striking reminder of our need for others. The Moon-Mercury and Moon-Mars sextiles open the door to sharing and cooperation, while the Sun-Chiron quincunx keeps us aware of whatever pain or discomfort is driving us to further investigation. The need for cooperation is intensified today and is well grounded in courage and determination. Nonetheless, we may need to guard against pushing too hard or expecting quick resolutions. As we head towards next week's Scorpio New Moon (10:46 PM PST 28° Scorpio) we need to maintain a deliberate, methodical approach.

Today is Friday November 21, 2025


Weekly Summary: NOVEMBER 16 - NOVEMBER 22

"Lor', there been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now, I think I'm able to
Carry on
It's been a long
A long time comin', but I know
A change gon' come"

—Sam Cooke
A Change Is Gonna Come

The Jupiter-Saturn trine (from Cancer to Pisces) gets to within 10 minutes of completion this week. Even though the aspect does not fully perfect, it is being intensively activated — forming Grand Water Trines from the Sun, Mars, Mercury, and Venus — beginning last month (by Mars) and extending well into next month (when Mercury returns to form the final Grand Water Trine on December 6th). The first exact Saturn-Jupiter trine aspect won't actually complete until September 1, 2026 when Jupiter is in Leo and Saturn has returned to Aries. This year's connection involves the deeply emotional, water sign element while next year's completion brings forward the activating, energetic fire sign energy. To some extent at least, this suggests that what we are 'watering' or nurturing now under the current Water Sign energy, will come into bloom when the Jupiter-Saturn trine, in the activating Fire element, is exact next year. Both the Sun and Moon, in Scorpio, 'carry the light' of the Jupiter-Saturn trine into Wednesday's Scorpio New Moon (10:46 PM PST 28° Scorpio) — an incredibly powerful New Moon with the Sun in an inferior conjunction with Mercury, opposing Uranus, and trining Neptune. This is an incredibly powerful, cleansing, healing, and revealing tsunami wave of Water Sign energy — given an added, extreme jolt from the Uranus opposition! The Scorpio energy encourages release — purging of old ideas — in order to 'clear the decks' for what is to come when our efforts begin to bloom in the coming year. Mercury's involvement provides an intellectual 'channel', encouraging us to pull together our experience into a cohesive strategy for moving forward with the new insights and fresh determination that is offered. But most of this week's activity is actually guided only by intuitive clues. Mercury sextiles Pluto early in the week — encouraging a deep dive into whatever clues are offered — then Mercury moves back into Scorpio for 'further investigation', just before the New Moon. The New Moon quickly begins to infuse courage into a fate-like sense of purpose. The Sun's arrival in Sagittarius, at the end of the week, boosts our confidence a bit, cheered on by Mars in Sagittarius. The retrograding Mercury helps to keep the 'communication channel' — between Scorpio's courageous determination and Sagittarian confidence — open and flowing. It is, in fact, our mercurial intellect that needs to do most of the intellectual, analytical, 'heavy lifting' this week in order to make the most of the extraordinary possibilities that are offered. Since Mercury is retrograde and influenced significantly by Neptune, we must also stay closely in touch with the intuitive clues that are offered and have faith that, as we proceed through this lunar cycle, we will find increasing clarity of purpose as new information is revealed. It is also quite important to recognize that, while Jupiter has turned retrograde, Saturn is stationing to turn direct (November 28th). This suggests a shifting, delicate 'balance of power' between Jupiter and Saturn, creating significant 'fluidity' (uncertainty). Jupiter retrograde in Cancer emphasizes a concern for safety, suggesting some challenges with defensiveness and isolation. As Saturn begins to station direct in Pisces, the power balance will shift towards a more pronounced incentive to sacrifice elements of the past (encouraged by the Scorpio New Moon) that no longer serve us. The defensiveness of Saturn in Pisces is a 'life and death' struggle — focusing not merely on individual safety but on the need to find a deeper, eternal, Universal Connection. Even with the Sun's arrival in Sagittarius, our confidence continues to fluctuate. While the Scorpio New Moon may not provide us with extra confidence, what we are offered is extra courage — we will do well to consider that confidence is not the same as courage. The Sagittarius Sun's confidence can encourage an idealistic optimism which quickly leads to irresponsibility. But the message of this week's Scorpio New Moon is to have the courage to continue to seek deeper truths no matter where it may lead us. It is especially important to set aside self-righteousness and any version of an attitude that 'might makes right' and rather, continue to seek deeper truths and reasonable consensus. Finally, Uranus completes another sextile to Neptune this week — as if there isn't enough going on! We can refer back to the end of August for better understanding of how this aspect relates to the significant global changes that are unfolding. The importance of this connection highlights the immense stakes surrounding finding a clarity of purpose through an objective examination of where we are and how we choose to create change moving forward. This is an extremely empowering aspect but one that demands clear, objective vision of what we want our future to be.

Sunday's atmosphere is not especially aggressive unless and until opposition surfaces that seems to require an aggressive responsive. We seem to be intent on maintaining balance and harmony — if at all possible. We find an extra dose of determination on Monday as we try to follow through on investigating intriguing clues. We are ready to clear away any blockages to effecting real change. On Tuesday, we will need to exercise caution and stay connected with friends and allies who can help us to bide our time and wait for the openings that are sure to come as we move through the rest of the week. There is an intellectual 'channel' opening up that encourages us to pull together our experience into a cohesive strategy for moving forward with new insight and determination. We can begin to uncover new information on Wednesday that allows us to develop an entirely new perspective and approach. We are offered extraordinary intuitive awareness — but complete clarity will still require a great deal of persistence and determination. Thursday's challenge is to set aside our defensiveness (inspired by a concern for our individual safety) in order to begin to see the importance of our universal connection. As we follow through on our investigations, objectivity is crucial. We are driven to rise to the level that those around us are asking of us — but we may also be led astray if our 'circle' is not asking of us our highest potential. Friday's optimism may be quite infectious but won't be the 'last word'. Temptations to 'rest on our laurels' or be otherwise led astray can be quite devastating. We are being asked to 'lay our cards on the table' on Saturday, offering whatever clarity that we can articulate, in the hope of making productive use of the powerfully insightful energy. It is especially important to set aside self-righteousness and any version of an attitude that 'might makes right', relying instead on recognizing our interconnectedness and seeking a reasonable consensus.


Sunday November 16, 2025

The Sun trines Jupiter this evening (9:07 PM PST) and will complete the Grand Water Trine with a trine to Saturn just after midnight (12:55 AM PST) tomorrow morning. Today's emotional, watery atmosphere is stirred to action by a Mercury-Ceres trine from Sagittarius to Aries. The atmosphere is not especially aggressive unless and until opposition surfaces that seems to require an aggressive responsive. The waning Libra Moon keeps us focused on maintaining balance and harmony — if at all possible. As Mercury moves back towards another sextile to Pluto, we're generally more interested in gaining more information rather than stirring up any sort of 'discord'.

Monday November 17, 2025

The Moon squares Jupiter early this morning (3:50 AM PST) before going VOC for the rest of the morning. Mercury forms the second of three sextiles to Pluto shortly after noon (PST), which adds an extra dose of determination to the Moon's arrival in Scorpio at 1:44 PM PST. Essentially, we may have a difficult time getting going today but once the Moon gets to Scorpio this afternoon, we find openings to 'forge ahead' boldly. The Moon's square to Pluto, just after 5 PM PST, only increases our determination to clear away any blockages and move forward. Today's Scorpio Moon provides significant 'foreshadowing' of Wednesday's Scorpio New Moon (10:46 PM PST 28° Scorpio) — offering enticing clues that "Change Is Gonna Come".

Tuesday November 18, 2025

Mercury rides the Scorpio/Sagittarius cusp today before moving back into Scorpio by 7:20 PM PST this evening. Mercury is essentially offering a communication channel between Mars in Sagittarius and the Scorpio Sun and Moon. This intellectual 'channel' encourages us to pull together our experience into a cohesive strategy for moving forward with new insight and determination. At this point, most of the activity is guided by intuitive clues. Nonetheless, tomorrow's Scorpio New Moon (10:46 PM PST 28° Scorpio) will begin to infuse confidence with a of fate-like sense of purpose offering new clarity. In today's context, we will need to exercise caution and stay connected with friends and allies who can help us to bide our time and wait for the openings that are sure to come.

Wednesday November 19, 2025

Today's Scorpio Moon revives Sunday's Grand Water Trine with Saturn and Jupiter. This evening's Scorpio New Moon (10:46 PM PST 28° Scorpio) sets up a powerful new lunar cycle. Mercury's joins the Sun and Moon in opposition to Uranus and trine to Neptune, suggesting a series of endings which will, essentially, 'clear the decks' for an entirely new approach — new ideas and new inspiration. Both the Moon and the Sun will conjunct Mercury just after the New Moon, suggesting a powerful springboard for these new insights. Both Mercury and Venus will again revive the Grand Water Trine (Mercury on November 22nd and December 5th; Venus on November 26th) but it is Mercury's involvement today that is helping us to understand the unfolding series of revelations and new insights. We can begin to uncover new information that allows us to develop an entirely new perspective and approach. We are offered extraordinary intuitive awareness today — but complete clarity will still require a great deal of persistence and determination. In essence, it is our mercurial intellect that still needs to do most of the intellectual, analytical, 'heavy lifting' that is needed in order to make the most of the extraordinary possibilities that are offered by this New Moon.

Thursday November 20, 2025

While Jupiter has turned retrograde, Saturn is stationing to turn direct (November 28th). With both planets in an extended trine — intensified by the trines from the Sun, Mars, Mercury, and Venus beginning last month and extending into next month — the shifting, delicate 'balance of power' between Jupiter and Saturn has been creating significant 'fluidity' (uncertainty). Jupiter in Cancer has emphasized our concern for safety, suggesting some challenges with defensiveness and isolation. As Saturn begins to station direct in Pisces, the power balance is shifting towards a more pronounced incentive to sacrifice elements of the past that no longer serve us. The defensiveness of Saturn in Pisces is a 'life and death' struggle, offering us less individual confidence than what we may be feeling from Jupiter in Cancer. The Moon's arrival in Sagittarius this morning (2:45 AM PST) helps to boost our confidence somewhat. But Saturn in Pisces demands that we see and feel our connectedness to everything around us. That connectedness is an essential element of the investigative journey that Mercury is undertaking as it retrogrades back through Scorpio. Essentially, today's challenge is to set aside our defensiveness (inspired by a concern for our individual safety) in order to begin to see the importance of our universal connection.

Friday November 21, 2025

The Sun arrives in Sagittarius late this afternoon after making an opposition to Uranus (now in Taurus) and a trine to Neptune (in Pisces) early this morning. Today's endings bring with them new beginnings and the Sagittarius Moon's confidence is boosted further by the Sun's ingress into Sagittarius. Whatever environment that we find ourselves in today is especially important. We are driven to rise to the level that those around us are asking of us — but we may also be led astray if our 'circle' is not asking of us our highest potential. Today's optimism may be quite infectious but won't be the 'last word'. Temptations to 'rest on our laurels' or be otherwise led astray can be quite devastating. Irresponsible action is a trap — confidence is not the same as courage.

Saturday November 22, 2025

Mercury returns to trine Saturn and Jupiter today, bringing intellectual insight into the dynamic interplay between (expansive) Jupiter and (constrictive) Saturn. This equation should offer a productive balance — especially with the sharp insights that Mercury is offering. Nonetheless, there are intensely high, idealistic aspirations and a determined desire to find safety — whatever that might mean to us, materially, spiritually, or emotionally. Jupiter rules the Sagittarius Sun while Saturn rules the Moon's arrival in Capricorn this afternoon (2:52 PM PST). In essence, we are being asked to 'lay our cards on the table' now, offering whatever clarity that we can articulate, in the hope of making productive use of today's powerfully insightful energy. It is especially important to set aside self-righteousness and any version of an attitude that 'might makes right', relying instead on recognizing our interconnectedness and seeking a reasonable consensus.

Weekly Summary: NOVEMBER 23 - NOVEMBER 29

"Everyone has talent. What's rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it leads.
—Erica Jong

Both Saturn and Mercury station direct this week in the midst of the ongoing series of Grand Water Trines. Saturn's direct station raises the stakes, bringing a powerful idealistic zeal into the deeply emotional environment. Saturn's demanding determination is well supported by the new information coming into focus under the direct station of Mercury. However, the strength of Saturn does bring a temptation to try to 'take charge' — assume control in order to demonstrate our mastery over others. But making overt demands in this watery — slippery — environment is only likely to bring about increasingly intense frustration. Grounding is needed in order to tame the idealism and slow down enough to adapt to the stationary direct motion of Saturn and Mercury. Mercury is winding up a review process that, in cooperation with Saturn and Jupiter, has laid a strong, intellectual foundation to help us follow through on the extraordinary initiative of last Wednesday's Scorpio New Moon (10:46 PM PST 28° Scorpio). Venus forms the most benefic expression of this powerful Grand Water Sign energy on Wednesday, offering a watershed of creativity and intense, beneficial connections. More and more options and opportunities are surfacing this week. As well, we begin to develop the confidence to explore new possibilities without necessarily looking for external support. However, we should not assume that we suddenly have 'free reign' — personal responsibility is crucial to long term progress. The ongoing Jupiter-Chiron square continues to remind us of the need to Stand Firm in our personal truth while also allowing others the freedom to do the same. Our sensitivity is increasing exponentially but so is our capacity and capability. In essence, the 'Water' is getting deeper — increasing both our power and our challenges as we look for ways to take advantage of the increasing 'light' from the waxing Moon. Venus arrives at the point of last week's New Moon at the end of the week and trines Neptune, lending an inspiring, optimistic 'glow' while keeping our aspirations high and the idealism building. Next week's Gemini Full Moon (December 4, 3:13 PM PST, 13° Gemini/Sagittarius) will be ruled by Mercury as it makes the last in the series of Grand Water Trines. That Full Moon will also see Venus approaching the Sagittarius Sun, further encouraging optimism. This week's emotional, idealistic intensity will slowly dissipate. Our intellectual capacity will begin to take over and demand more freedom to explore the options and opportunities that have begun to surface this week. This week's creativity and high aspirations are showing the first, very small signs of 'New Growth', powerfully supported by the rebirth and resurrection suggested by last Wednesday's Scorpio New Moon. Attention to 'the little things' — incremental signs of progress and growth — can help us to ground this week's idealism and high aspirations with responsibility. Our traction will continue to improve as we move past next week's Full Moon and we begin to take advantage of the strong, intellectual foundation offered by Saturn and Mercury's forward motion.

We are enticed to try to use our Will Power on Sunday in order to 'power through' in some way. However, we're more likely to see impulsiveness, rather than any sort of determined, balanced effort. Taming our idealism is the key on Monday. Attention to 'the 'little things' — incremental signs of progress and growth — helps us to ground our aspirations with responsibility. The reliability of what we depend on is tested on Tuesday. We face at least a brief sense that things are out of control. We are offered an extraordinary depth of insight and understanding on Wednesday. However, we may find ourselves facing some significant doubt or lack of confidence. Thursday's atmosphere is filled with high aspirations and extraordinary courage. It is important to stay flexible and respond effectively to unexpected developments. We find a rather expansive atmosphere on Friday that suggests opportunities for widening the potential of future development. Our sensitivity is increasing exponentially but so is our capacity and capability. There is a high degree of potential on Saturday as well as improving 'light' to guide our initiatives. Optimism is high and inspiration seems to flow.


Sunday November 23, 2025

Finding a balanced approach is especially challenging today. We are enticed to try to use our Will Power in order to 'power through' in some way. However, we're more likely to see impulsiveness, rather than any sort of determined, balanced effort. Nonetheless, with some grounding from today's Capricorn, the Sun's sextile to Pluto is offering plenty of powerful clues, hunches, or intuitive flashes that may provide us with just enough direction to make better use of today's rather wild energy. The basic challenge is seen when we try to 'take charge' — assume control in order to demonstrate our mastery over others. But making overt demands in this environment is only likely to bring about increasingly intense frustration.

Monday November 24, 2025

Today's Capricorn Moon offers a great deal of quiet support, helping us to manage the overwhelming Grand Water Trine energy. Venus is approaching trines to both Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces. The Moon connects to all three today — Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn — from Capricorn. There are high aspirations which, if properly grounded, can produce both courage and determination. However, there are significant 'pitfalls' as well, suggesting aggressive, self-righteousness hypocrisy. Taming our idealism is the key here. Attention to 'the little things' — incremental signs of progress and growth — helps us to ground our aspirations with responsibility. The asteroid Ceres stationed direct in Aries last Friday and is beginning to show the first, very small signs of 'New Growth', powerfully supported by the rebirth and resurrection suggested by last Wednesday's Scorpio New Moon (10:46 PM PST 28° Scorpio).

Tuesday November 25, 2025

The reliability of what we depend on is tested today. We face at least a brief sense that things are out of control. We must certainly recognize our interconnectedness and our need to rely on each other for help and support. Nonetheless, over-dependence and a lack of responsibility — ignoring the need to also contribute and show gratitude — can result in a 'let-down'. Our luck may run out or we may find ourselves 'cut off' from a source of support. Today's struggles may highlight a significant imbalance or a lack of equity that stirs some kind of backlash. We need to hold a level of objectivity and accept any reward or punishment that we face. If we are willing to recognize the loss of some kind of important connection, we can direct our focus toward restoring that connection.

Wednesday November 26, 2025

Venus forms trines to Jupiter and Saturn today — a new expression of the ongoing series of Grand Water Trines. Today provides perhaps the most benefic expression that we have seen, potentially offering a watershed of creativity and intense connections. We are offered an extraordinary depth of insight and understanding. However, we may find ourselves facing some significant doubt or lack of confidence here. Mercury has slowed down and will station direct by the end of the week. The insights that we have gathered may of left us feeling quite conflicted or facing conflicts with others. While we aren't likely to 'give up and walk away', we may struggle to establish the kind of 'peace and harmony' that today's Grand Trine suggests is possible. Basically, the message is to stay with the process — while our confidence may drop, courage to persist remains well supported.

Thursday November 27, 2025

Saturn stations direct an atmosphere that is filled with high aspirations and extraordinary courage. As Saturn begins to pick speed, we will begin to recognize that the 'stakes' are rising. The Moon squares Uranus this morning and goes briefly VOC from 9:52 AM PDT until 11:23 AM PDT. It is important to stay flexible and respond effectively to unexpected developments. Once in Pisces, the Moon reaches the First Quarter phase of the current lunar cycle today that began at last Wednesday's Scorpio New Moon (10:46 PM PST 28° Scorpio). Today's activity will lead to lasting progress and offer us the opportunity to establish some kind of strong, new foundation. The Moon's sensitivity in Pisces leads us to be very vulnerable to the direction that our environment is pushing us. Honesty and compassion will help us to hold on to individual sovereignty.

Friday November 28, 2025

We find a rather expansive atmosphere today that suggests opportunities for widening the potential of future development. Mercury is nearly stationary (direct) and we are already beginning to find that our options are becoming clearer. As well, we are beginning to develop the confidence to explore new possibilities without necessarily looking for external support. However, we should not assume that we suddenly have 'free reign' — personal responsibility is crucial to long term progress. Our sensitivity is increasing exponentially but so is our capacity and capability. In essence, the 'Water' is getting very deep here — increasing both the power and the challenge.

Saturday November 29, 2025

Mercury's direct station today holds an extraordinary degree of potential. Mercury will return to trine both Jupiter and Saturn once more (on December 4th). That final Grand Water trine will carry with it a great deal of new information that has been organized by Mercury during it's retrograde motion. It is notable that Venus has arrived at the point of last week's Scorpio New Moon, lending a benefic 'glow' to the superior power that the current lunar has been supporting. The Moon trines Jupiter (in Cancer) and Mercury and Venus (in Scorpio) and conjuncts Saturn and Neptune (in Pisces), providing an extraordinary amount of 'light' to guide us through the rest of the lunar cycle which will culminate next Thursday under an insightful Gemini Full Moon (3:13 PM PST, 13° Gemini/Sagittarius).
