This week, we are stepping out of the darkness and moving forward into the last month of the year with wisdom and harsh lessons learned. The major astrological events this week are Mercury finally moving direct in Scorpio and Saturn turning direct in Pisces. Together, this marks the culmination of a period marked by delay, uncertainty, and internal recalibration. Where communication, clarity, timing, and structure have felt tangled or stalled, the energy now shifts toward momentum, decision-making, and rebuilding. What was reviewed, revealed, or dismantled over the past few weeks becomes the foundation for a more grounded and intentional path forward. This is not about rushing ahead, but about taking aligned steps with a clearer mind and a stronger sense of purpose.
Weekly Astrology Forecast
We are fully in Sagittarius season now, and the Sun's energy has shifted from heaviness to expansion. After weeks of inward focus and emotional processing, this is the first full week that encourages forward movement, possibility, and a wider perspective. Sagittarius invites you to look towards the future with optimism and reconnect with the higher version of yourself, after you've shed the dead weight of your shadow in Scorpio. The focus moves away from what has been revealed and toward the vision you are ready to grow into.
Mercury conjunct Venus in Scorpio – November 24
The week begins with Mercury, the communication planet, forming a conjunction with the dark goddess Venus in Scorpio on November 24, combining communication, relationships, and values in a meaningful way. Even though Mercury is still retrograde, this transit supports honest conversations, resolutions, and emotional clarity. It is an opportunity to express what has been unspoken and to deepen understanding across partnerships, financial matters, or creative connections. Think repair, truth, and cooperation rather than revisiting conflict for the sake of it.
Saturn Direct in Pisces – November 27
On November 27, Saturn stations direct in Pisces, ending a long period of pause and uncertainty. Where you may have felt stuck, delayed, or unsure of your next steps, direction, and structure begin to return. Saturn’s forward motion supports commitment, discipline, and long-term planning. This is a turning point for rebuilding stability in both practical and spiritual areas of life. The foundation you lay now has lasting potential.
Venus conjunct Lilith in Scorpio – November 28
November 28 brings Venus conjunct Lilith in Scorpio, highlighting themes of authenticity, desire, and self-worth. This alignment asks you to release shame or outdated expectations around love, intimacy, and personal power. Relationships may shift toward greater honesty and emotional freedom. This is a moment to claim what you truly want and to stop minimizing your needs to maintain harmony.
Mercury Stations Direct in Scorpio – November 29
On November 29, Mercury stations direct, bringing the final week of retrograde to a close. Miscommunication begins to clear, technology and scheduling issues stabilize, and your thinking becomes sharper. There is no need to rush. Allow a few days for clarity to settle before making big decisions or commitments. Forward movement is returning gradually.
Venus Enters Sagittarius – November 30
Finally, on November 30, Venus enters Sagittarius, opening a lighter, more optimistic chapter for love, money, and connection. Relationships thrive through honesty, adventure, and shared vision. Creativity and finances benefit from risk-taking, exploration, and faith in growth. This transit encourages joy, openness, and expansion rather than emotional confinement.
This week represents a doorway between the past and the future. The emphasis is no longer on what has ended but on what is ready to begin. Sagittarius season is here, and the horizon is widening.
Shadow Work
Since we are in the final shadows of Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio this week, I want to tap into the upcoming Shadow Work Self-Reflection Deck by Jor-El Caraballo, LMHC. Jor-El is not only a prolific author of powerful healing tools, but he's my personal friend and a licensed therapist practicing in New York City. His deck will be released on December 2 and is now available for pre-order. Each card provides a healing revelation and questions that spark shadow work for your daily healing practice. You can discover this new deck at Bookshop.org and also support independent bookstores.
This week, your shadow work card from this special deck is centered on examining your social environments and how you communicate. This aligns with Mercury's role as the planet of communication, and during its retrograde, it becomes the ideal time to revise and revisit old connections and friends from the past. This card raises important questions about your social circles, the parts of yourself you may be shrinking or hiding, and the ways you feel you need to perform to belong. I encourage you to take time to journal, reflect, and answer the questions this week’s card brings forward as we move through the final days of Mercury Retrograde.
