✨ MERCURY RETROGRADE — NOV 9 to NOV 29 ✨

Sign: Sagittarius ♐
Theme: Truth, Meaning, Direction, and Freedom

Mercury—the planet of communication, travel, thoughts, and technology—slows down and appears to reverse.
During this time, life asks us to pause, reflect, realign, and re-evaluate.
This is not the universe punishing you—this is a course correction.

Since this Retrograde is in Sagittarius, the focus is on:

Your deeper truth

Your beliefs + worldview

Your direction in life

Where you’ve outgrown past versions of yourself

This retrograde might stir questions like:
“Is this still right for me?”
“What am I doing this for?”
“Where am I being called next?”

Spiritual Significance 🌙

Sagittarius energy is wild, intuitive, fiery, and hungry for meaning.
This retrograde highlights areas where you’ve been:

Saying “yes” when your soul is screaming “no”

Shrinking to fit who you used to be

Rushing without listening to your inner compass

Avoiding uncomfortable truths

Expect:

Sudden realizations

Honest conversations

Old lessons resurfacing for closure

A shift in how you see yourself

This is a time of inner recalibration.
Your mind + spirit are updating to match the person you’re becoming.

DO THIS ✅

Slow down your decisions

Re-read contracts, messages, emails

Revisit projects that were put on hold

Reflect before reacting

Organize your space + your mind

Ground your energy daily

AVOID THIS ❌

Making impulsive “burn it all down” moves

Starting major new commitments

Speaking out of frustration

Traveling rushed or unprepared

Assuming your first interpretation is correct

Guidance for Each Zodiac Sign ♈♉♊♋♌♍♎♏♐♑♒♓

Aries:
Re-evaluate your goals. You don’t need to run faster—just in the right direction.

Ta**us:
Review financial responsibilities + boundaries. Choose what holds true value.

Gemini:
Old relationship patterns resurface. Communicate slowly. Don’t rush to explain—listen.

Cancer:
Return to routines that support your emotional balance. Your body is speaking—honor it.

Leo:
Creative projects may stall to be refined. Let inspiration come gently instead of forcing it.

Virgo:
Home + family themes resurface. Clear emotional clutter. Forgiveness brings peace.

Libra:
Your voice evolves. Reclaim your narrative. Speak with intention, not urgency.

Scorpio:
Reassess spending, resources, and where your energy goes. Align investment with soul.

Sagittarius:
Identity shift incoming. Who you used to be is not who you are now. Let the shedding happen.

Capricorn:
Rest. Seriously. Your spirit needs quiet to reset its compass.

Aquarius:
Friendships shift. Soul-aligned community emerges. Let the right people find you.

Pisces:
Career direction is recalibrating. Your calling is focusing. Trust the redirection.

Affirmations to Anchor This Retrograde 🌿

“I choose clarity over urgency.”
“My direction becomes clearer as I slow down.”
“I release who I was to make space for who I am becoming.”

Closing Note

Mercury Retrograde is not chaos for the sake of chaos.
It is a pause, a breath, a re-weaving of your path.
Let yourself be guided inward.
Your soul has things to say—
and now is the time to listen. 🌙✨

Full Beaver Supermoon in Ta**us

Today brings the Full Beaver Supermoon in Ta**us at 8:19 a.m. ET—the closest, brightest full moon of 2025. Ta**us energy asks us to ground down, honor our bodies, secure our foundations, and choose what’s real over what’s noisy. Think: slow rituals, cozy beauty, and tangible progress. Release the rushed and root into what’s worthy. 🌕✨

Ritual ideas: gratitude list for what’s stable, cleanse + reset your money/values altar, slow tea or bath, treat your five senses (Venus rules Ta**us), and make one practical decision you’ll still thank yourself for in six months. (It’s also a king-tide/extra-bright supermoon—powerful for release + manifestation.)

What to Focus on (By Sign)

Aries — Make money moves, but sustainably. Price your time fairly; protect your energy like it’s currency.

Ta**us — It’s your spotlight. Choose pleasure + consistency over chaos. A personal reset lands when you commit to one non-negotiable habit.

Gemini — Clear mental clutter. Gentle solitude, journaling, and better sleep hygiene restore your spark.

Cancer — Community check-in. Strengthen the friendships that feel like family; release the group drama that doesn’t.

Leo — Career clarity. Define the win, set boundaries, and make a visible upgrade to your public image.

Virgo — Expand steadily. Pick one course, mentor, or path and go deep—no more scattering your magic.

Libra — Energetic debt detox. Cut cords with obligations that don’t reciprocate; call your power home.

Scorpio — Relationships, revealed. Name your needs. Keep what’s loyal and stable; renegotiate what’s not.

Sagittarius — Body + workflow. Small, repeatable routines beat big bursts. Edit your to-do’s to what truly matters.

Capricorn — Pleasure is productive. Create for the love of it; schedule joy like a meeting.

Aquarius — Home base first. Declutter one room, fortify boundaries, and make your space nourish you.

Pisces — Say it simply. One honest conversation resolves what overthinking couldn’t.

Pro tip: Because this is a supermoon, emotions + tides run higher—build in extra grounding (salt bath, barefoot on earth, warm food). Then set one practical intention you can physically measure by the next lunar cycle. 🌿

Did you know....Im also an event organizer!

Its true, and this week we put on a corporate halloween party that was just spectacular.
It was a potluck, so people brought it festive food, I designed a custom murder mystery game, a fun custom playlist, and lots of interactive decorations! It went over extremely well, and everyone was thrilled, it didn't even look like the same conference room anymore.

If you or anyone you know is looking to book a holiday party, please let us know :)

🌸 Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex agnus-castus)

One of my personal favorites and one that I use daily to manage my severe period symptoms...

Vitex or Chasteberry, this powerful herb supports the endocrine system and helps balance hormones naturally. It’s often used to ease PMS, irregular cycles, and perimenopausal symptoms by gently encouraging the body’s own rhythm of progesterone and estrogen. Ancient healers also used it for improving fertility and supporting emotional steadiness throughout the menstrual cycle.

Spiritual Uses:
Vitex carries the energy of patience, purification, and divine timing. Associated with the goddess Hera and feminine sovereignty, it’s said to help calm emotional storms and restore harmony between body and spirit. In ritual, it’s used to rebalance personal power, clear attachments, and open one’s energy to renewal and trust in life’s cycles.

✨ A sacred ally for those walking the path of self-restoration and inner alignment.

🌑 NEW MOON IN LIBRA — OCTOBER 21, 2025 ♎✨

The New Moon arrives October 21, 2025 at 28°22′ Libra — a time of reset, reflection, and new beginnings.

Libra, ruled by Venus, brings themes of balance, harmony, beauty, justice, and relationships. This New Moon invites us to plant seeds for peace — within ourselves and our partnerships.

But beware: this isn’t all soft sweetness. The moon forms a tense square with Jupiter, meaning pressure will push us to truly balance the scales — not just keep the peace.

🌸 Spiritually, this moon asks:
Where is life out of balance?
Where are you giving too much, or not enough?
Where can you bring fairness, clarity, and beauty back into your world?

This New Moon is a moment to harmonize your inner and outer worlds — to align what you say, do, and feel.

🕯️ Ritual idea: Journal your relationship intentions, visualize what mutual respect looks like, or light a candle for restored balance in love, work, and friendship.

♎ ZODIAC GUIDANCE — WHAT TO WATCH & WHAT TO DO

♈ Aries — Watch: rushing into relationship changes.
Do: balance giving and receiving; practice cooperation over control.

♉ Ta**us — Watch: getting stuck in routine or comfort zones.
Do: refresh your daily rhythms to better support connection.

♌ Leo — Watch: seeking validation instead of authenticity.
Do: express your truth with warmth and heart; lead with fairness.

♍ Virgo — Watch: people-pleasing or perfectionism.
Do: check your boundaries and act in integrity; don’t carry it all alone.

♎ Libra — Watch: avoiding conflict for the sake of peace.
Do: set clear intentions; balance your needs with others’. It’s your moon.

♏ Scorpio — Watch: isolating or diving too deep too soon.
Do: build bridges and ensure your relationships support your transformation.

♐ Sagittarius — Watch: running from emotional depth.
Do: invest in the relationships that truly align with your vision.

♑ Capricorn — Watch: prioritizing work over love or collaboration.
Do: align your partnerships with your long-term goals and integrity.

♒ Aquarius — Watch: detaching too much.
Do: balance freedom with connection; honor both independence and intimacy.

♓ Pisces — Watch: idealizing or losing yourself in others.
Do: ground your love; build authentic, honest connection.

✨ Final Thoughts
This Libra New Moon offers a fresh relational canvas.
Whether it’s romance, friendship, or your relationship with self — the universe is handing you a clean slate.

🌿 Balance isn’t everyone agreeing — it’s clarity, respect, and truth.
Let this moon help you plant those seeds for the next chapter.
