We’re wrapping up the year with the final Mercury Retrograde of 2024. But before you roll your eyes and think, “Oh great, what now?”—as far as Mercury Retrogrades go, this is a pretty good one!

Mercury rules over communication, transportation, and technology, so when it’s moving forward through the zodiac, those parts of life tend to flow pretty smoothly. But three or four times a year, for about three weeks each time, Mercury slows down and appears to move backward from our view on Earth. That’s when things ruled by Mercury can get a little wonky —flights might be delayed, traffic feels worse, emails go missing, and miscommunications happen.

This Mercury retrograde is happening in Sagittarius. Sagittarius, symbolized by the archer, is all about seeking and adventure. But this time, thanks to Mercury retrograde, seeking and adventure are happening within.

The archer’s arrow is aimed inward, helping us to redefine who we are, what matters most to us, and where we’re headed. This is not a time to chase after external goals but a time to discover a deeper, more authentic version of ourselves.

For the next 3 weeks, while Mercury is retrograde, we’ll be spending time reflecting, revising, reimagining, reevaluating, rethinking, and tying up loose ends before the end of the year.

November started with a new moon and it’s ending with one, too. Saturday's New Moon is the second new moon in the month, making it a Black Moon. A black moon’s energy amplifies new beginnings and spiritual growth. It’s a power time to set intentions and do deep inner work.

The astrology this week supports having one of the best Thanksgivings yet! Create space for rest and reflection. Your body and mind need time to process the deep shifts taking place. Just surrender to the magic of the transformation happening right now.

We've had an intense Scorpio season over the past month, and I think we're all ready to move on. The good news is that Friday marks the beginning of the Sagittarius season, which ushers in a time of abundance, luck, adventure, and socializing.

Every Sagittarius season is unique depending on what else is happening in the sky, and this year is all about our inner evolution. We’re redefining our identity, values, and where we’re headed.

One of the primary reasons this season is about inner growth is because it contains a Mercury Retrograde. During Mercury Retrograde we always reflect, rethink, and recalibrate.

The transition of Pluto into Aquarius is the other factor influencing Sag Season. Pluto enters Aquarius on November 19 and stays there for the next 20 years. This has a huge impact on all of us both collectively and individually.

Pluto is about death, rebirth, purging, shedding, and regeneration. It’s the planet that connects us to our shadow side. Pluto is famous for extreme shifts whenever it moves into a new sign. It’s entering Aquarius which is about embracing the future and letting go of the way we've been doing things.

The last time Pluto passed through Aquarius was from 1778 to 1798, and that’s when the American and French Revolutions occurred. We’re undergoing a profound evolution. The outdated systems are breaking down so we can rebuild them stronger and more equitable.

All of us are going through a radical transformation. We're moving toward freedom and spiritual growth, leaving behind things that are old, stagnant, and outdated.

The time for new beginnings is here. Use this month to go inward, pause, reflect, listen to your intuition, and trust that we are being guided to something far greater than we can see now.

Times like these are exactly why we have a spiritual practice - to keep ourselves centered and balanced when things get challenging. Anyone can be present on those beautiful days when the sun is shining and the sky is blue. This is our chance to truly practice being present. When we stay present, fear loses its grip, because fear only exists when we think about the future. There’s no fear in the present.

The Dalai Lama once said that "the world will be saved by the Western woman." This is our fucking moment. And we embrace it by stepping into our power. With Pluto’s shift into Aquarius next week, we're entering a time to embrace our spirituality on a deeper level. We need our practice now to stay present and centered and empowered.

Tomorrow, November 11, does provide a little break from the intensity this month. In numerology, 1 is the highest number energetically. It is the ultimate angel number because it is the beginning of everything—the start of something new.

Eleven is a master number, and master numbers are extra powerful. 11 represents new beginnings, the start of a new phase of life, and spiritual enlightenment. 11/11 acts as a catalyst for spiritual awakening and is a very positive day to set intentions for the future you.

On Friday, the 15th, there will be a Full Moon in Taurus. It is last of four supermoons in a row this year. This full moon is in a tight conjunction to Uranus. That sends a shockwave to our sense of security. Uranus is the planet of change and also the planet of awakening. The awakening Uranus brings is sometimes disguised in the form of change and upheaval.

This Full Moon is in Taurus. Taurus is an earth sign that encourages us to work hard and have patience when dealing with challenges. This is exactly the energy we want right now. Taurus loves comfort and luxury. Leaning into comfort helps us get through this intense month. Good food, a cozy home, and spending time in nature all help ground our energy so we feel more secure and calm.

While full moons are about completion and endings, they also serve as a precursor to the next cycle, helping us to reset and focus on what’s next. Use this full moon to get grounded and back in balance.

You can feel the collective unease in the air with the uncertainty and stress of the upcoming election. Today's Pluto-Mars opposition adds to this uneasiness and intensifies the tension even further. While the opposition peaks today, its energy will stick around for several more days—right through Election Day.

Mars is the planet of war, action, and aggression, while Pluto is the planet of death and destruction. As you can imagine, when Mars and Pluto are in opposition to one another, strong emotions, anger, and sometimes even violence are triggered.

This opposition of Mars in Cancer directly opposing Pluto in Capricorn is happening at the 29th degree. The 29th degree is the final degree of a sign and it represents a point of culmination, urgency and transition. It's referred to as the degree of fate.

The 29th degree carries the full, concentrated energy of the sign. It's like the grand finale for that sign’s qualities, where everything about that sign comes into play, often in a heightened or dramatic way.

Pluto will be moving from Capricorn into Aquarius, the sign in which the US declared its independence, in a few days. This election takes place against the backdrop of Pluto's transit into Aquarius, marking the beginning of an entirely new era for the nation. Pluto is still in Capricorn when the election is held, so change and accountability are highly valued, and voters are drawn to politicians who want to combat corruption and update our outdated systems.

Mercury Retrograde is another factor that contributes to the energy this week. Although Mercury won't retrograde until the 25th, this week marks the beginning of the Pre-shade energy.

Mercury retrograde is infamous for creating delays as well as communication and technological problems, which may, but hopefully will not, affect voting, particularly in this very controversial election.

Be extra cautious about misinformation, voting machine errors, and delayed results. Mercury retrograde during election season means that it could take a while before we know the outcome.

There's mystery and magic in the air this week as we celebrate Halloween, the Day of the Dead, Samhain, and the New Moon in Scorpio.

Halloween and Samhain are times when the veil between the physical world and spirit world is at its thinnest, allowing us to communicate more easily with the spirit world. The powerful new moon in Scorpio amplifies our ability to communicate even more.

Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, the planet of the underworld, making this New Moon particularly powerful for connecting with our ancestors, spirits, and guides. If you’ve ever wanted to communicate with the other side, this week is your chance.

New Moons are a time for new beginnings, and with Scorpio’s association with death and rebirth, this New Moon is a powerful time to start fresh. Samhain is seen as the Celtic New Year and it marks the end of the harvest and the start of winter, and is time of endings and new beginnings. This is a good moon for setting new intentions, especially related to spiritual growth, shadow work, and personal transformation.

The numerology this month supports our new beginnings. In numerology, November is a 1 Universal Month. A 1 Month is a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. One is the start of a new numerological cycle. A new cycle brings fresh energy and the motivation to start new things. Because of the current astrology, the new beginnings will roll out slowly but by the end of the month, things start to pick up speed.

November is our opportunity to get our shit together and make plans for the future. Take some time this week to relax, reflect and gain some clarity from the spirit world before the election and Pluto's transit into Aquarius.

This week, the Sun shifts from Libra to Scorpio, marking the start of the 2024 Scorpio Season. This is a time of deep emotional intensity, a completely different energy from what we've experienced over the past month. The shift from Libra season to Scorpio season can feel a bit jarring.

The Sun's entry into Scorpio serves as a reminder that everything is always changing and evolving. The pace of our outer lives is slowing down as we move closer to winter. As our outer lives slow, the focus shifts to our inner lives.

Mercury is also in Scorpio for the next month. Mercury is the planet that governs how we think and communicate, This additional Scorpio Energy makes this a time of deep introspection. Everything is up for review. We’re questioning the truth about our lives and challenging everything.

Scorpio season is also motivating and empowering since Scorpio is co-ruled by Mars, the planet of action. We are fired up to make changes. Scorpios are hyper-focused on achieving anything they commit to. We can take advantage of this energy to get things done before winter.

Scorpio is drawn to the mystical, the mysterious, and the spiritual. The veil between the physical and spirit world is at its thinnest now, allowing spirits and ancestors to cross over. Our psychic and intuitive abilities are also heightened, making it easier to connect to the other side.

One of the biggest lessons Scorpio Season teaches us is the power of surrender. Surrender isn’t about giving up; it’s about trusting that life is unfolding exactly as it should, even when we don’t have all the answers.

Surrender allows space for something new and better to grow. When we let go, we’re making room for the rebirth that this season promises. So lean into the unknown, trust the journey, and allow yourself to be transformed. The magic happens when we stop resisting and just flow with it.

The biggest supermoon of the year happens on Thursday morning. It’s the first full moon of fall, the first lunation since eclipse season, and is the biggest and brightest moon this year.

This moon is known as the Hunter's Moon because this is the time of year when Native American tribes would be hunting, and stocking up on meat for the winter. Although we don't need to go hunting and gathering as much these days, this is still a great time to get ready for the winter months.

With this Full Moon in Aries, you'll probably feel the urge to prepare for winter too. As a fire sign, Aries brings the fire and assertive, "get shit done" energy. It's the first sign of the zodiac and brings new beginnings. This full moon in Aries is all about you. This is the time to put yourself first; consider it as filling your cup before helping others.

What makes this full moon so intense is that it’s part of a Cardinal Grand Cross. A Cardinal Grand Cross looks like an X on a chart. It happens when 4 planets in cardinal signs form squares and oppositions.

The Cardinal signs are the signs that mark the start of each season and zodiac phase. They bring in the energy of new beginnings and fresh starts. When they are in a Grand Cross like this, you’ll feel like you must take immediate action. Everything is going to feel urgent.

The Cardinal Grand Cross pushes us to make changes in areas where we've felt stuck. We’ll feel like we must confront what’s not working in our lives and fix it now. We want to channel all this energy - that is so strong and full of potential - into doing something constructive and taking action.
