The Smart Witch Podcast

In this episode, we’re breaking down the astrology for the week of November 24th, starting with Mercury turning retrograde on Tuesday the 25th until December 15th in Sagittarius. Mid-week, a challenging Venus transit to Chiron actives our core wounding around our sense of self-worth, relationships and/or finances, but a supportive sun/Mars trine provides the energy and empowerment we can lean into to navigate it. Over the weekend, we have the final days of the moonwane — aka the Dark Moon. First in Scorpio (Thursday, Friday) then in Sagittarius (Saturday), we’re invited to process whatever came up during this month’s New and Full Moons, to clear out any physical or energetic clutter and re-acquaint with our deep selves before the New Moon.

This week is a MOMENT! Pluto enters Aquarius on Tuesday, marking the climactic beginning of a new era which brings us into 2044 (if you’re feeling a little anxious or uneasy this week, you’re not alone. The first few months of Pluto in Aquarius will be challenging — the Underworld God opposes Mars on and off through May of ‘25, leading to turbulence and tension — but as Pluto gets settled later in the year, the intensity will start to dissipate!) On Monday, we have the first of three oppositions between Mercury and Jupiter (take precautions this week to have a back-up plan if others can’t follow up on their promises. And — conversely — be careful about over-promising and under-delivering, which could come back to bite you during the retrograde!) Otherwise, we have beautiful transits this week including the Sun trine Neptune, encouraging empathy and compassion, and Saturn sextile Venus (a stabilizing and sensual prosperity influence.) Mercury also forms the first of three trines to Chiron in the middle of the week, sparking a healing breakthrough which will prompt cool revelations throughout the retrograde!
