Weekly Energy & Astrology Forecast - 25th November 2024



This week’s energetics are marked by a descending, inward-turning energy, as the last quarter moon wanes towards a new moon at the end of the week. It’s a time for introspection, reflection, and gaining clarity before setting new intentions. These themes are also layering with a similar introspective energy of a Mercury retrograde, encouraging a period of pausing and reviewing rather than pushing forward.


While the upcoming new moon may inspire a sense of fresh beginnings, the current energy supports turning in and looking back not only astrologically but also seasonally. A great way to channel this energy is to focus on tying up loose ends and revisiting unresolved matters. As we approach the final trimester of autumn, this period offers an opportunity to reflect deeply, shed and let go. This is a great week to set intentions focused on closure and preparation, rather than initiating the new.


Astro Highlights of This Week

  • Tuesday, 26th November:

    • Mercury Stations Retrograde in Sagittarius:

      This marks a period of introspection. Progress might feel slow, and you may revisit matters you thought were resolved. Over the next three weeks, be prepared for situations to resurface. This retrograde includes three phases: pre-shadow, retrograde, and post-shadow. Proceed with your full awareness, especially in anything around communication and short-distance travel. Misunderstandings are more likely, so triple-check details and avoid finalising commitments if possible.


      • Mercury Retrograde Opposes Jupiter in Gemini and Squares Saturn in Pisces:

        This tense T-square creates a dynamic of expansion (Jupiter) versus limitation (Saturn), with Mercury calling for inner reflection. You might feel torn between pushing forward and recognising lessons that still need attention. If you sense a need to turn inward, it's worth surrendering to that impulse—there’s likely valuable insight to be gained.


      • Mutual Reception Between Mercury and Jupiter:

        Although Mercury is in detriment and lacks the clarity it craves in Sagittarius, its opposition to Jupiter provides some mutual understanding, which can soften these challenges.


  • Wednesday, 27th November:

    • Sun in Sagittarius Trines Mars in Leo:

      This energising aspect brings bold, vibrant, and courageous energy—quite a contrast to the rest of the week. It’s a good time for standing in your power and tackling tasks head-on. However, with Mercury retrograde and Mars about to station retrograde, revisiting old matters is more beneficial than initiating new ones. Focus on the present moment rather than pushing forward aggressively.

      • Note: That being said, always trust your intuition. If starting something new feels right don’t doubt that, there might be a good reason for it.


  • Sunday, 1st December:

    • New Moon in Sagittarius (6:21 AM):

      This signals a fresh start in the area of your chart ruled by Sagittarius. It's a great time for setting intentions, though caution is advised due to Mercury’s retrograde and Mars’ impending retrograde. Consider intentions focused on reflection, revisiting and clarifying or letting go of the past. Reflect on what needs to be tied up before 2025 begins—this also beautifully aligns as we are now in the final trimester of autumn.

      • New Moon Trine Mars: Provides a boost of courage and motivation.

      • New Moon Square Saturn: Brings a reality check or limitation, prompting a grounded and realistic approach.


Keep these themes in mind as you move through the week, using them to support turning inward. Though much of our conditioning from the world we live in encourages us to keep pushing forward, there is gold and purpose in those moments of drawing back and reflection. Surrender to it and enjoy it and be the witness as it pays dividends in the future. Have an amazing week!
