This week delivers a major energetic shift as Venus enters Sagittarius, Mercury officially enters its post-retrograde shadow period, and the Full Moon in Gemini lights up our sky. After weeks of intensity, excavation, and exposure during Scorpio season, the cosmos now pivots into fire and air. We move from depth to expansion, from secrecy to honesty, from internal focus to external expression. This is a week of truth-telling and forward momentum, but also caution, because Mercury’s shadow period complicates what we say, sign, or set into motion.

Weekly Astrology Forecast
Sunday, Nov 30: Venus enters Sagittarius
Venus steps out of detriment in Scorpio’s deep waters and into the expansive and adventurous fire of Sagittarius. Where Venus in Scorpio demanded emotional truth and tested loyalty in love and relationships, Venus in Sagittarius wants openness, exploration, and meaning. Relationships shift toward freedom and authenticity.
Travel, enjoying life, and indulging in the season may be a major theme for you. Naturally, it's December, so there is a lot of celebration taking place. I do want to warn not to overindulge and spend more than you intend to this season.
Finances and creative projects benefit from optimistic thinking, but they also require grounding so that enthusiasm does not lead to impulsive decisions. This transit encourages you to approach love and money from a place of truth and optimism rather than the shadow and lack. You are being called to move toward what inspires you, not what binds you.
Sunday to Saturday, Nov. 30- Dec. 6: First full week of post-retrograde shadow period
We are also now in the first full week of Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow phase, which began on November 29 and continues until December 17. The themes, conversations, and decisions that unfold during this window are part of a larger narrative that Mercury will finalize once it clears its shadow.
Communication can feel slightly off or incomplete, as if you only have part of the information. This is a week to plan rather than finalize. Signatures, launches, and major commitments are better left for after the post-retrograde period. Pay attention to what resurfaces from the Mercury retrograde storyline. You will be asked to revise or resolve it.
Thursday, Dec 4: Full Moon in Gemini
The Gemini Full Moon brings illumination and reveals in communication, information, and truth. Represented by the Twins, Gemini is the storyteller of the zodiac, and this lunation exposes what has been unspoken, unclear, or waiting for acknowledgment. The Gemini Moon is forming an opposition with the Sagittarius Sun, activating the harsh truth with a square to the karmic North Node in Pisces. There is also a Mars-Saturn square influencing the day, bringing the need to cleanse and dissolve realities that are weighing you down.
This is a culmination of mental and communicative cycles that began six months ago with the Gemini New Moon. Expect clarity, revelations, conflict, and truth bombs that shift perspective and trigger you towards change. Because we are still in Mercury’s shadow phase, everything that emerges now is part of a larger process. The truth you receive may still be evolving. Ground yourself, breathe, and stay connected to your inner guidance. Gemini energy can be mentally stimulating to the point of overwhelm. Let the insights come through, but do not rush to act.
Friday to Saturday, Dec 5 to 6: Sorting truth from noise
The days after a Gemini Full Moon always require integration. Venus in Sagittarius heightens passion, curiosity, and a desire for movement, but Mercury’s shadow reminds you to slow down and think things through.
This is the time to organize your thoughts, journal, and revisit conversations or messages that surfaced earlier in the week. Your intuition is strong and can cut through the mental clutter if you allow yourself to listen. Trust the wisdom that arises, not the external pressure to figure everything out immediately.
Sunday, Dec 7: Clarity in progress
By the end of the week, you may notice that the fog is lifting and the bigger picture is coming into focus. You have more understanding of what the Full Moon revealed and what Mercury’s shadow phase is asking you to revisit.
This is a week for honesty, mindfulness, and gentle recalibration. You are moving forward, but the universe is reminding you that timing matters. Let your path unfold without forcing outcomes. The truth will settle in exactly the way you need it to.
Tarot Card of the Week
This week, I felt the intuitive pull to tap into the classic Rider-Waite Smith Tarot deck by Pamela Colman-Smith. This is such a powerful and reliable deck, and I thought that the expansiveness and clarity you can gain from it go well with the Astrology of this week. You can purchase a copy of your own from Bookshop.org, while also supporting independent bookshops this holiday season.
The Six of Pentacles came out of the deck for you this week. This card speaks to generosity, exchange, and the sacred reciprocity that holds communities together. With the world in turmoil, an administration actively harming vulnerable groups, and many of us feeling the weight of financial strain, it is natural to feel powerless or overstretched. The Six of Pentacles reminds you that the best way to reclaim your agency is by participating in the flow of giving and receiving, even in the smallest ways.
This card is not just about charity. It is about remembering that your energy, time, and presence are valuable. You may feel called to support someone who is struggling, or you may need to reach out for support yourself. Both are acts of strength. The Six of Pentacles asks you to examine where your resources are going and whether the exchanges in your life are equitable. Do you overgive to people who do not reciprocate? Do you withhold help because you fear having too little? This week is about restoring balance, both materially and emotionally, and remembering that community care is a form of power in a world that thrives on separation.
Let yourself circulate your gifts without depleting yourself. Offer support where it feels aligned and receive it when it is offered. The universe works through the exchanges we make with each other, and this week, you are being shown that you are never alone in the struggle or the healing.
