This Month
November arrives with Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, inviting you into deeper waters of reflection and reassessment. The month's tensions cluster around Leo—where Mars, Jupiter, and a lingering lunar presence stir intensity in matters of creativity and personal power. Yet as Venus glides through Libra (retrograde until mid-month), this is a season to review your values and reconnect with what truly balances your heart. By month's end, the Sun's shift into Sagittarius begins to lighten your path forward.
Love
Venus retrograde early in November asks you to revisit past patterns in intimacy; this is not a time to rush, but to understand.
