A week that kicks off with Mercury retrograde is sure to be… well… something! Because we will be smack dab in the middle of a Mercury storm, expect things to go sideways for the first half of the week. Fortunately, there’s not much else going on. Fire is dominating the sky now, and people will be spirited as a result. The Moon is still waning towards her new phase. She spends Monday, Tuesday, and most of Wednesday seeking balance in Libra. Thursday and Friday see her deep diving through Scorpio, the sign of her fall. Early Saturday, her adventure in Sagittarius begins, with the New Moon culminating overnight into Sunday.
Read on for more detailed planetary aspects. All times listed are based on the USA Eastern Time Zone.
Monday, November 25, 2024 - Mercury turns retrograde (22° Sagittarius at 9:42 p.m.)
Mercury, our trickster planet of thoughts, communication and transportation, spins retrograde at 22° of Sagittarius tonight. He will spend the next several weeks retracing his steps, all the way back down to 6° of the sign. Sagittarius is largely concerned with truth-seeking, adventuring, and experiential learning. Mercury is in detriment here, debilitated by an extreme lack of focus. Thus, this transit will see everyone feeling quite scattered in the Sagittarius sector of the chart; thankfully, the point of the energy is not to have you reading fine print, but to recalibrate your big picture belief systems. You will most likely be prompted to reflect on your core beliefs and personal philosophies, specifically whether they align with your current reality. This can be uncomfortable, as you start to realize that many of the things you believe don’t actually stem from you, but from your familial or societal conditioning. Mercury says that a reevaluation is necessary, so don’t shy away from this inquiry. He redirects on December 15, 2024, and clears the shadow on January 2, 2025. Caution in all things Mercury and/or Sagittarius is strongly advised until after the new year.
Wednesday, November 27, 2024 - Sun trine Mars (5° Sagittarius to Leo)
A Sun/Mars trine in two of the cockiest signs of the zodiac ensures that today, you’ll likely be feeling untouchable. Enthusiasm and self-confidence are high, making this a great time to start something new. You should be feeling strong, courageous, and eager to please. Taking the initiative comes easily, as does sexual magnetism and charisma. There’s no downside to this energy; it really is just a great day to go after something you want - winning!
Sunday, December 1, 2024 - New Moon at 9° of Sagittarius (1:21 a.m.)
This New Moon in Sagittarius is a bit of a mixed bag of energy. Coming right on the heels of Mercury’s retrograde turn in the same sign, it’s also angled by both of the malefics: a friendly trine from Mars in Leo, and a not-so-friendly square from Saturn in Pisces. Thus, this New Moon presents us with an opportunity to grow, but that growth will most likely be the result of some discomfort. Sagittarius energy is generally optimistic, expansive, philosophical, and dogmatic. The sign rules higher learning, long distance travel, and is concerned with the higher mind. The pursuit of absolute truth is paramount here, so intentions can be set around some very noble goals under this New Moon. Don’t be afraid to think big, but be ready to face some challenges right out of the gate. Even on its best days, Sagittarius does tend to lack focus; as such, with Mercury uncooperative, you may have to work a little bit harder than you want to make sure you hit your intended target.
