Uranus opposes New Moon
Mercury conjoins New Moon
Mercury retrograde through November 29
Aurora borealis!
I am looking out my east window at dawn and see the glow of the rising sun and the waning crescent moon bright in the sky, Venus close by. Autumn seems endless this year as we usually have had a freeze and one or more snows by now. Sun flare activity has brought the Aurora borealis to our latitude and things are topsy turvy in every way. All the more reason to double down on extra care for your body, mind, and spirit.
Mercury moving retrograde at 28 degrees Scorpio exactly conjoins the New Moon, intensifying communication of all kinds, inviting you to go deep into your own feelings and thoughts and how you share those thoughts with others. Go deep inside your own intentions before you share. Passionate exchanges can bring emotionally charged situations to a head as secrets and hurts are revealed. Scorpio brings feelings to the surface that we often like to keep hidden, feelings of betrayal and distrust. Scorpio is passionate, deep and complex. Tread these times with peace in your heart and love in all things with extra compassion for yourself.
Jupiter at 25 degrees Cancer trines the New Moon-Mercury conjunction, blessing conversations with expanded consciousness and nurturing for feelings – yours and others.
Uranus moving retrograde at 29 degrees Taurus opposes the New Moon-Mercury conjunction adds wild card energy to the passion and intensity of this lunation. Look to your chart to see where the Scorpio-Taurus axis falls at 28-29 degrees and you’ll get a hint as to how and where this all plays out for you in your life. Ah-ha moments abound. Be open to profound revelations and revealed truths, especially about yourself. Unexpected surprises pop up.
Mercury is moving retrograde back to 20 degrees Scorpio on November 29. I am finding myself reviewing many things in my life, feeling deeply into people and circumstances. What feels right and what feels dissonant? I have set up a filming studio in a spare bedroom where I will be filming pieces for my Youtube channel, The Flower Channel, refining how I can best express my passion for flowers. I got a new phone with better filming capacity than my old clunker and am taking a class on how to use the new beast. December should see some soul-soothing how-tos on The Flower Channel. YAY!! What passion are you wanting to express? This Mercury retrograde period in Scorpio can help you get more in touch with your passion and best ways to express yourself. Passions expressed give you more energy! Scorpio says: feed and express your passion!
