#356 - Weekly Energy Update for Nov 24 - Dec 1: Mercury Retrograde & Thanksgiving Astrology
Listen now
Description
We’re wrapping up the year with the final Mercury Retrograde of 2024. But before you roll your eyes and think, “Oh great, what now?”—as far as Mercury Retrogrades go, this is a pretty good one! Mercury rules over communication, transportation, and technology, so when it’s moving forward through the zodiac, those parts of life tend to flow pretty smoothly. But three or four times a year, for about three weeks each time, Mercury slows down and appears to move backward from our view on Earth. That’s when things ruled by Mercury can get a little wonky —flights might be delayed, traffic feels worse, emails go missing, and miscommunications happen. This Mercury retrograde is happening in Sagittarius. Sagittarius, symbolized by the archer, is all about seeking and adventure. But this time, thanks to Mercury retrograde, seeking and adventure are happening within. The archer’s arrow is aimed inward, helping us to redefine who we are, what matters most to us, and where we’re headed.  This is not a time to chase after external goals but a time to discover a deeper, more authentic version of ourselves. For the next 3 weeks, while Mercury is retrograde,  we’ll be spending time reflecting, revising, reimagining, reevaluating, rethinking, and tying up loose ends before the end of the year. November started with a new moon and it’s ending with one, too. Saturday's New Moon is the second new moon in the month, making it a Black Moon. A black moon’s energy amplifies new beginnings and spiritual growth. It’s a power time to set intentions and do deep inner work. The astrology this week supports having one of the best Thanksgivings yet! Create space for rest and reflection. Your body and mind need time to process the deep shifts taking place.  Just surrender to the magic of the transformation happening right now.
