The Energy Waves of November
November always has that hush about it, doesn’t it? The evenings stretch long and dark, and the earth feels like it’s holding her breath. It’s a month that calls us inward — to rest, to release, and to remember who we are beneath the noise.
Cosmically, the energies mirror this quiet depth. The planets weave a story of reflection, gentle healing, and spiritual recalibration. This isn’t the season to rush or to reach — it’s a time to soften into the stillness and let your soul catch up.
🌕 Jupiter Retrograde — Coming Home to Your Own Heart
From mid-month, Jupiter begins its retrograde in Cancer, guiding us to turn our gaze inward. Rather than seeking new horizons, this phase asks: Where have I abandoned myself in search of belonging?
This is deep heart medicine. You may notice themes around family, home, and emotional security resurfacing — not to unsettle you, but to offer healing. The invitation is to nurture the places within that still crave reassurance. To become the safe place you’ve always been seeking.
Let the tears come if they need to. They are sacred water cleansing the roots.
🪶 Saturn Direct in Pisces — Healing Through Discipline and Grace
As Saturn moves direct near the end of November, clarity begins to filter through the fog. The past few months may have felt heavy or uncertain — Saturn’s way of showing us where boundaries were blurred or illusions had crept in.
Now, you’ll feel a quiet strength returning. A knowing of what (and who) truly supports your peace. This is the time to weave routine around your spiritual life: daily grounding, journalling, or simply honouring your rest. Healing doesn’t always arrive as fireworks — sometimes it’s a cup of tea, a breath, a boundary held with love.
🔥 Mars in Sagittarius — The Spark Returns
After the introspection of autumn, Mars in Sagittarius reignites our inner flame. You may feel a pull to explore again — to learn, travel, or expand your perspective.
But remember: the real adventure now begins within. The path of the pilgrim is not always across landscapes — sometimes it’s across layers of the self. Let curiosity be your compass, not restlessness.
Speak your truth boldly, but kindly. Your words hold fire this month — use it to light, not to scorch.
🌀 Mercury Retrograde — Listening Between the Lines
Mercury goes retrograde mid-month, slowing our mental pace and inviting us to truly listen — to others, and to the quiet voice within. Plans may shift, tech may falter, but this cosmic pause has purpose.
It’s a time to rewrite your inner dialogue. Notice where the mind tells stories of “not enough” or “too late,” and gently replace them with compassion. Speak to yourself the way you would to someone you love. That’s the work Mercury asks of us now.
🌑 The Moons of November — Death, Rebirth, and Gratitude
The New Moon in Scorpio opens deep portals of release. Old emotions, outdated dreams, or unspoken grief may rise — let them. This is the alchemy of transformation.
Then, as the Full Moon glows in Taurus, the energy steadies. Gratitude becomes the healing balm. Cook something earthy, light candles, be with those who feel like home. Let the body rest in the comfort of simple things. The Taurus Moon reminds us that being grounded is a spiritual act too.
🌿 A Month to Rest, Reflect, and Renew
This November is the bridge between worlds — not quite the end, not yet the beginning. It’s the sacred pause where healing happens quietly.
Let yourself be still. Let yourself feel. Spend time in nature; breathe in the damp air and the scent of fallen leaves. The earth is showing us how to release without fear, how to trust the cycle that always brings us back to light.
