🪐 Major Transits & Their Meanings
1. Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius (begins Nov 9 ~6°♐) → moves into Scorpio later
Mercury going retro means thoughts, words, travel and data-processing go deeper, slower, loop back. Starting in Sagittarius, the focus is big ideas, beliefs, how we speak truth and convey story. From Sagittarius into Scorpio means we’ll be pushed under the surface — into what we really mean, what we’ve hidden, what we need to re-visit. Cafe Astrology+3Astro Seek Horoscopes+3CHANI+3
Reflection tone: This is a time to listen more than speak, to re-draft old drafts, revisit old conversations and honor the loops rather than force forward.
2. Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer (begins Nov 11)
Jupiter turning retrograde invites inward growth rather than outward expansion. In Cancer, the emotional home, security, inner foundation take center stage. You may feel invited to revisit what “growth” means when it’s not just about doing more but feeling safer, nurtured, anchored. Astrology Answers
Reflection tone: Ask what you’ve believed about your emotional worth or your inner container—and whether those beliefs need revision.
3. Mercury Conjunct Mars in Sagittarius (Nov 12)
This union of mind (Mercury) + drive/assertion (Mars) in a fire sign brings heat: sharp words, bold ideas, potential for strong impulses. Combine this with the retrograde flavor and you have react first, reflect later tension. Use the energy for review rather than impulsive action. Astrology Answers
Reflection tone: The impulsive thought might come— yes. But maybe pause, let Mercury’s retrogression catch up, refine what you say.
4. Moon & Minor-Aspects & Background Flow
According to the calendar:
-
Moon moves into Leo (~Nov 10) encouraging bold self-expression. Astrology Answers
-
Moon enters Virgo (Nov 13) and soon Libra (Nov 15-16), asking us to balance, refine, relate. Astrology Answers
-
Earlier in Nov there’s also the backdrop of Uranus retro in Taurus (began Nov 7) which invites shifts in value, security, resources. Cafe Astrology+1
Reflection tone: While the big planets shift slowly, the Moon gives us daily cues: when to act, when to refine, when to recalibrate.
🎨 The Weekly Theme
“Words come back. Foundations get seen.”
From Nov 9-16 we are in a portal of revisiting: things we thought we’d said or done are being spoken again, refined, maybe undone. Meanwhile our underlying sense of security—emotional, material, identity-based—is under gentle inspection. The fire of Sagittarius invites boldness, but the retrograde and Cancer/Jupiter tone say: not yet from pure momentum—from meaning. If you feel old conversations rising, if a belief you once held shows cracks, lean in. This is the time for review, not fresh launch—not yet.
Closing thought for the week: Speak with intention, revisit with compassion, ground with honesty.

Jupiter retro in Cancer touches your inner world: emotional boundaries, intuitive support, a quiet structure you may have ignored. Use this week to tune in rather than launch out.
💬 Closing Thought
This week invites a gentle paradox: move slower in order to move deeper. With Mercury moving backward and Mars driving forward, the temptation is to speed ahead—and yet the wiser move is to revisit, refine, resettle. Old conversations, voices, beliefs may echo. Instead of answering right away, ask: “What am I really saying? What am I really listening to?” Your foundations—emotional, creative, relational—are under gentle examination.
Use this week to refine your message, tend your roots, and voice your truth with measured fire. The action will still come—but when it does, it will carry more resonance.
Keep your notebook close, your reflection gentle, and your hearing open. The cosmos is not delivering fresh terrain this week—it’s asking you to return to the one you’ve been constructing, and to clear the path so when launch comes, it carries the weight and clarity you’ve earned.
Here’s to the rewrites, the quiet listening, the grounding under the glow of the still-moving stars. 🌙✨
In kindness always,
The Floral Goose
