Have you set your New Moon intentions yet? If not, here are some ideas and energy to work with before you do :)

Sun, Moon, and Mercury Retrograde are at an exact conjunction, in Libra, when the New Moon is at its peak.

Venus is also in Libra.

Wait what? Why is almost everyone saying it's happening in Scorpio?

This is due to the difference between looking at what season it is, vs. what is actually in the sky. Look at any sky app, and you will see the Sun is in the constellation of Libra.

The Moon is a fast-moving object in the sky, and it won't take long for it to move into Scorpio, but at its peak and conjunction with the Sun, it's in Libra.
(Check the exact time with your local time zone)

There is a lot happening with this Moon.

Not only is it in conjunction with the Sun and Mercury Rx, but we also have Venus not far away, and all of this is in opposition is Uranus in Ta**us.

The conjunct trio is also in a grand trine to the Neptune Rx, Saturn Rx, conjunct in Pisces, and Jupiter Rx who is in Cancer.

So, what do we do with all of this???

First stop, pause, breathe and remember to move slowly into whatever it is that you are doing.

With all of the retrograde activity we will be wise to remember that we need to look inward first.

We took a look at Mercury Rx and the Sun conjunct on my last post, and we now add the Moon, with some Venus energy.

The Moon will bring heightened emotions but those will be subdued due to the Sun - this feels to me like covert emotions, the kind that are there but not acknowledged, the kind that have been swept under the rug just in time for us to trip over them when we aren't looking.

What conversations aren't being heard, and where are we letting our ego or courage be overshadowed by our own need for approval?

How do we technically feel anyway?

Are we jumping for joy or simply talking our way out of jam?

The egoic child within us, their hidden emotions and their need for love will be at odds with the need for others to value us.

A great journaling prompt for this is:
How do I honor my inner child, and my emotions, while allowing how I speak to myself to be balanced and centered in love, before I look to others for validation?

Note how the pull to please others comes in and balance that with and within yourself first.

Find ways to allow expansion as well as spiritual responsibility to play a part in the creation of your intentions.

Pay attention to the things that feel extra, the places that aren’t quite ready to shine a light on them yet, and honor everything that reenters the picture.

So much of what is happening now is us finding our balance so we can eventually move forward and revisiting what we can’t seem to let go of.

Hold on loosely, look twice, trust your intuition but read the fine print first.

Then with a blink of the eye the Scorpion will come into play and there will be stingers to navigate, poison to transform and alchemy to create.

Mix the potions we’ve been tending, and turn it all into medicine – a salve to heal what’s been reopened and measure it against anything left unbalanced.

The intentions we set now will have lasting implications, be mindful of the energies at hand and use them to move forward, when the time is right.

As Mercury Retrograde moves into Libra it is also travelling closer and closer to the Sun - which yes is in the actual constellation of Libra.

These two bodies are, for the next few days, working in tandem to bring about expressive introspection, to work through how we are seen and heard as we communicate about ground which we've already walked upon.

In other words, we may find ourselves rehashing what was said, what was done and what we want to say or do in response to this or that... Unless we react, in which case all bets are off.

Either way justice will be done - what we sow we will reap.

What we put out comes back.

Retrograde is a revisiting of - and right now it's revisiting ego, confidence, or lack thereof, with expression, joy, and our childlike behaviors - all in relation to our duality, our communications, our ability to revisit and relearn what has worked for us and what hasn't.

This melodrama will take place while our hearts are being measured and weighed in accordance with the outcomes of those conversations, as Libra holds the weights and balances asking the ego, the child and their conversations to be above board or pay the consequences.

As this week progresses, let your heart be light,

Let your spotlight shine,

Let it show the way for others,

And let the checks and balances be a guide,

To illumination and the need to move forward. ✨✨

On the 20th the Moon will also find itself in the constellation of Libra for a brief time before it moves into Scorpio.

And when it does it will be in conjunction with the Sun and Mercury Rx, making for an interesting New Moon.

Look for that post tomorrow 😉

Until then let your Mercury Rx, be the slowing down and be the RE that your body needs.
Revisit, Rehash and Reclaim all that is best for you.

Do you have Mercury Retrograde in your chart? What are your experiences when it is retrograde??

IS MERCURY RETROGRADE IN YOUR BIRTH CHART?
How does this Retrograde impact you if you have Mercury Retrograde in your birth chart?
Have you heard the saying two negatives make a positive?
For those of us (me included) that have Mercury Retrograde, it can feel like the restraints have been lifted.
Our voice is clearer, cleaner, and what needs to be said just flows instead of feeling like there is a brick wall and a damn in front and around us.
For this Retrograde we are still working with Mercury in Scorpio, it is still conjunct to Mars, to start, but how we navigate this energy might look and feel a bit different to us.
Note: This is a look at the actual sky, not the seasonal sky.
We will innately understand that the transformative nature of Scorpio, and the action of Mars will flow quite nicely into the communications we are now free to express through our in aligned Mercury.
Instead of worrying about how sharp Mars is, and how abusive Scorpio feels, we will ride the scorpion using its armor to shield us, to find a sense of boldness which ultimately affords us the time to respond instead of reacting.
Those that have Mercury Rx in their charts spend the majority of their year in inner reflection, this phase of Mercury right now will find us using the sword of Mars as a sword of light, where we cut through illusions and help others cut through them as well.
We may also feel that this is the perfect time to charge ahead – have a program you want to launch, do it, have a conversation you have been wanting to get off your chest, do it, been holding back writing a book, in a journal, or creating a great post – do it!
Actions with communications especially where your will power has been tested will likely find the release they have been longing for.
This isn’t to say we with Mercury Rx in our charts should damn the torpedoes and move full speed ahead, I’m simply saying you may find the path a bit clearer and obstacles less daunting.
We must still remember discernment and know that the pause before any action will be imperative to a smooth landing during Mercury Rx.
Use the immense power of this transit to propel you towards the best self-reflection, the clearest communication, and ultimately embrace long-term gains through transformative actions.

Mercury Retrograde is here, are you ready? Ha, it's really not that big a deal if you know what energetics you are working with - Read on 😉

This retrograde will have a multitude of changing aspects, starting with Mercury Rx, in Scorpio conjunct Mars and ending with a conjunction to Venus in Libra.

Note: This is looking at the actual sky, not seasonal placements.

In between November 9th and November 29th, Mars the Sun, Moon and Venus will dance with Mercury as it moves from Scorpio to Libra.

The ever-changing aspects will flavor how we move through this retrograde.

It will be a retrograde that we need to keep up with as the energy is happening.

To Start - Mercury Rx conjunct Mars in Scorpio...

This aspect of Mercury Rx feels stingy, sharp, and full of charge and wisdom.

Where will we revisit old wounds, where will we remove the daggers thrown at us, where will we find the poison has transformed us in ways that ease never could?

Or will we simply revisit it all and stay in the sting, stay in the pain as we rehash the scene over and over again?
Our actions, the way we learn and move through the retrograde will be measured not by the external happenings, even though it might appear this way, but will be shifted as we internally transmute our own metaphoric deaths so that the things we know and grow through will find us enriched as the Sun begins to shine a light on the scene.

From now until November 15th this will be our choice.

As of the 15th, The illumination of the Sun, in Libra is now upon Mercury Rx, and Mars, and now we suddenly find a balance of expression, confidence and joy added to the mix.
The Sun will bring light to the darkness; this will find our shadows dancing and will allow the sting to heal and balance out.

I will visit this as the 15th gets a bit closer.

Until then, watch your stingers, and be mindful of others’, as the sharp edges of Scorpio and Mars mix with a Mercury retrograde that is learning how to navigate this unforgiving terrain.

Remember Mercury Rx asks us to RE - rethink, revisit, remove, react, relearn, relive, rewatch, remember, reimagine, reconsider, reclaim, reconnect, reevaluate, realign, reassess, reconnect, renew, rebirth, reframe, restore, revitalize, recommit….

So that we can traverse a path of our own design, our own making, to our own liking.

Be mindful of what RE you step into and allow the energetics to work for you.

Until the Sun moves into the mix,

Much Love, Brenda ~ Soul Deep Life

There’s something magical about the moon 🌙

And it’s even more magical if you pay attention to the constellation it’s working with 😉

Excellent!!

👋😁💗 Hello Beautiful Souls!!

We are entering one of the most magical Venus months of the year. Below you will find the calendar of Venus transits along with sign changes and direction shifts that shape the weeks ahead.

You will notice a small orange bird on 11/2, 11/8, and 12/1. These mark the days when the Moon forms a Golden Phoenix Aspect to the Sun. Please take note of how you feel on those dates. Many of you have already shared that this aspect brings sudden awakenings or unexpected beauty. It is often benevolent, sometimes startling, and almost always life changing. When something surprising happens under this energy, it usually leads to new openings that were not possible before.

Mercury Retrograde also begins this month, and we will navigate it with awareness and grace. The current Mercury cycle began on 9/13, and the upcoming New Moon will coincide with the most intense moment of that cycle. This alignment makes it a powerful time to review, revise, and realign your thoughts and intentions.

Venus will spend only fifteen days in Libra before beginning her descent through the underworld and the Galactic Center. The final week of November is filled with luminous Venus aspects, each one weaving her story of transformation. By month’s end, Morning Star Venus will disappear from view for about sixty days, completing her twenty-month cycle on 1/6/26. She will return as the Evening Star in early February, and the sight of her reemergence is always breathtaking.

If you are feeling called to deepen your connection with her energy, this is the perfect time. The Morning Star descent is a sacred season to begin working with your personal Venus cycle.

I offer Personal Venus Forecasts that illuminate where this journey is unfolding in your chart. They are remarkably accurate and help unlock new levels of creativity and alignment. The link is in the comments if Venus is calling you. If you are not quite ready, simply pay attention to the coming Venus transits and note what unfolds. She will speak to you in her own timing.
