November Retrogrades, Realigned Truths with Susan Reynolds

Send us a text

November doesn’t just nudge us to slow down—it practically grabs the wheel. We’re navigating Mercury retrograde alongside a cluster of outer‑planet reversals, and that means plans stretch, timelines wobble, and communications jumbles show up at the worst moments. Instead of pushing harder, we look for the upside: review energy that surfaces missed steps, sharper thinking, and clearer communication. With Mercury in Sagittarius during Scorpio season, truth comes fast and hot, so we practice tact while honoring what’s real.

We dig into the “RE” toolkit—redo, review, reorganize, reconnect—and apply it to both logistics and inner life. Expect practical advice on building buffers, confirming travel early, and finishing neglected projects. The Scorpio New Moon brings focused transformation on your terms, with intention prompts that describe energy rather than rigid outcomes. As Saturn turns direct in Pisces later in the month, career currents begin to move again. Promotions unfreeze, ideas gain traction, and leadership feels less like slog and more like stride. We also redefine success and abundance, shifting from narrow metrics to felt experiences—purpose, impact, stability, and freedom—so manifestation can meet us in unexpected ways.

Jupiter’s retrograde in Cancer highlights home, food, and real estate. We share strategies for navigating supply slowdowns, rethinking holiday plans, and simplifying traditions without losing meaning. Throughout, we balance action with allowance: take a step, then make space to receive. Call in protection and clarity when logistics tangle, and ask better questions—How is this delay serving me? Where’s the hidden door? By month’s end, the clutter thins, intentions sharpen, and momentum returns with integrity.

SPEAKER_01:

Hi everyone, I'm India Lee, intuitive reader and soul purpose coach, and today we have Susan Reynolds, Karma Gastrologer, here on the Guides Podcast, and we are gonna dive into November's energies. Um, Scorpio season, and then sliding into Sagittarius season, uh, or in the third week of the month. And wow, Susan, you and I were just talking about how November already feels kind of charged with positivity, really, after after some of the things we've been going through, right?

SPEAKER_00:

There's a lot going on in November. Planets changing direction. You know, there are two directions the planets can move in. One is forward, which astrologers call direct motion, moving forward, and the other one is backwards, which astrologers call retrograde. It's going in the what we would call the wrong direction. The planets don't actually change direction, they're not starting and stopping in the sky and you know, doing things like that. But from the point of view of Earth, it looks like they are. So that's where that comes from, whether it's forward or retrograde. When it seems to be retrograde and moving backwards, we can still get the influence of that planet, but we get it skewered slightly, we get it changed and modified slightly. So it's always good to know what are the planets doing and how are they doing it, which is basically what astrology helps you with.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, it's kind of like in tarot, when we pull a card, it's got certain energies. And then when if if it comes out in reverse, it's still got those energies, but it's a different take on those energies. It's like, all right, well, we're looking at this from a different angle. And that's what it feels like the planets bring when they when they think that retrograde thing.

SPEAKER_00:

The big news in in November is that Mercury is going to go retrograde. And I know we all laugh and we've all heard, you know, Mercury is retrograde. This must be why this is happening.

SPEAKER_01:

Let me tell you, let me tell you, I I don't like to be trite. I don't like to be trite, but I have had to bite my tongue to make Mercury retrograde jokes already today. Cause I'm I've been trying to do things technologically today that are ridiculously difficult. And I want to, I want so bad to be like Mercury's retrograde, but I can't do it because I don't want to be that cliche. Let's say that.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, I use it all the time.

unknown:

I use it all the time.

SPEAKER_01:

It's true.

SPEAKER_00:

Is Mercury retrograde? My car won't start orders. Mercury retrograde, this is happening, you know. Yeah, because Mercury is the planet that deals with our day-to-day life. Getting up, turning on the computer, checking our emails, driving to work, dealing with meetings, you know, things that we take for granted. This is part of our daily life. And when our daily life gets interrupted or slowed down, we get annoyed. We don't like that. We don't like being caught in traffic. We don't like, oh, my tag expired and I totally forgot, and the police pulled me over. And we don't like those things. We just want our daily life to go along, humming along without bothering us too much. This is why Mercury retrograde gets such a bad rep. And so I tell people all the time allow extra time when Mercury is retrograde because things take longer. In November, technically on November 9th, it will turn retrograde and it will stay that way until November 20th when it will turn back direct. But for sensitive people, and I'm going to include you in this, India, as well as me, and probably most of the people watching this are a little bit more sensitive than the norm, they tend to pick up this retrograde motion earlier than most people. And up to five days before that technical change, it is what is called the shadow of the retrograde. Meaning that even though technically it doesn't start until the 9th, what is five days before that, November 4th, you may already be feeling this. It's not a black and white line in the sand. So I'm, and I this may just be my imagination, but I always think I see more police out on the road during Mercury retrograde. I think there's somebody in the police department that knows there's a puts more police cars out on the road. So there's more of a chance you might get a ticket, you might have that lead foot, you might kind of coast through the stop sign instead of coming to a complete stop. So I'm just gonna gently remind everybody follow the rules to the letter. Complete stop, don't glide through the yellow light, you know.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. And and as yes, and as I've learned from you and from studying um astrology more and more, I also notice during these times, Mercury being the planet that rules the way we think and communicate, that always that energy to me always speaks of self-talk. So for me, Mercury retrograde times are always great to examine and reflect on your self-talk, on the thoughts that you have. It and it's a time when you naturally will reflect, I feel, on what works for you, what doesn't in the thought and communication department. And I feel like it serves you to look at what your mercury placement is and go, oh, all right. Well, this is the flavor of that um reflection, you know, and and so paying extra special attention to that. Absolutely. And when does it come out? Yeah, I've heard you mentioned on the 20th. On the 20th of November, okay.

SPEAKER_00:

It comes out on the 20th, although give it a few days. Oh, that's when it's about how we communicate.

SPEAKER_01:

Think of all it got sorry, does it come out on the 20th of November or December? November.

SPEAKER_00:

So it's like what, maybe two and a half weeks, something like that. Got it. Okay. And Mercury typically when it's retrograde, it stays retrograde about three weeks. It's not for per hour, it's actually a fairly short period of time. It just feels long to us because we're impatient to get our lives back on track. Meetings go longer, they get delayed, clients miss their appointments, you you know, your dentist forgot to put your appointment down, they have to reschedule. And you know, these are not life-changing things, they are annoying. As India just mentioned, Mercury rules how we communicate. What do we say? What do we think? What do we read? Where do we get our communication from? So, right now in November, it's the beginning of November, uh, we have Mercury in Sagittarius. And Sagittarius is very outspoken, it's very outspoken. It is the sign of the truth. And when Sagittarius is active, the truth comes flying out of our mouth, and we go, I didn't mean to say that out loud. Did I say that part out loud? It's, you know, don't ask somebody with a strong Sagittarius energy if these pants make me look fat, because they will tell you flat out, you look awful. Sometimes, although Sag has a very good heart, something will come flying out of their mouth in a way they didn't mean a little too honest, a little too abrupt. And because they're kind hearted, you know, they're gonna apologize and mean it that way. But for all of us, when we have Mercury and Sagittarius, we're gonna tend to be more outspoken. We're gonna tend to kind of say it flat out. No, I don't like sushi. I don't know why you keep taking me out there. You know, we're just we're not gonna put you around, we're gonna say it flat out. It's wonderful for public speaking, it's wonderful for writing, it's wonderful for social media, it's great for a lot of things, but we have to work on our tact a little bit more when Sagittarius is happening.

SPEAKER_01:

Especially right now when it's especially right now when it's happening at the same time as being in Scorpio season, and Scorpio is all about that truth anyway. It's like, all right, you want the truth, you're gonna get the truth.

SPEAKER_00:

Here comes buckle up, buttercup here comes. Yeah, and so we do think, but it can take by surprise, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

And we also have uh Neptune and Saturn in by in retrograde too, right?

SPEAKER_00:

We have Neptune. Not only is it uh not only is Mercury turning retrograde this month, but Jupiter is gonna turn retrograde this month, and Saturn is already retrograde this month, and Uranus is retrograde this month, and Neptune is retrograde this month. So there is a lot of retrograde energy happening. So I'm gonna say do not be surprised if you feel a bit stuck in November because so many planets are going in the wrong direction. So this is what I mean about appointments get canceled or things get delayed, or they don't have that whatever you want in stock, and they have to send a wave for it. And things are going to take longer than you think with so many planets retrograde. So build a cushion. If your boss wants this project in three days, see if you can stretch it out to five. You may not need it, but try to see if you can get it.

SPEAKER_01:

But you know what? I'm getting another energy with from this from the guides right now, which is showing, you know, when you do everything there is to do with a task, and you think you're you're done, and you're like, I just don't know. I could not figure out that one thing. I couldn't figure it out. And then maybe you say, Well, I'm gonna take some time and re look at it again, read that paper again, or look at these um, you know, books again, look at the the ledger one more time. Then you find what it was that was missing. That's what I feel and I'm getting from spirit that this time will bring for us. And I feel like that's why we're excited, feeling this good energy about November, is because with everything and that retrograde energy, it's gonna give us a chance to go, oh, I'm noticing these little details about my life that I probably would have glossed over before because I have this sort of review energy or this paying closer attention energy. Look at this over here. I was kind of not really appreciating that blessing. And I wasn't really appreciating the way that this support is here for me, but because I have to look at everything closer, I'm seeing it.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, think about the first two letters of retrograde. It's R-E. So redo, regroup, reorganize. Retrograde energy is wonderful for going back and finishing projects that you left half done. That book that you never finished, that needlepoint that you put away because you didn't have time anymore, you know, the book you were gonna write, we go back and we pick it up and we finish it. So retrograde energy is not bad energy or negative energy. We just have to make sure we're aware of it and using it properly. If we keep trying to ask the planet to go forward when its natural tone is going to be to go backwards, we're gonna be unhappy. But if we say, okay, how can I use this energy? How can I use it to make my life easier? Then we're in the flow. Then we're working with it and we get the benefit. So think about what you need to look back on or regroup or redo. Sometimes with couples, especially with that Venus energy, we can go back to old arguments, you know, like, no, your mother's not coming for Christmas this year. We talked about this in July, you know, but suddenly, whoa, that old argument comes back up again. Totally normal with this kind of an energy, you know. So you're like, What? Why are we talking about this again? But we go back, and this time we can fix anything we didn't do before or anything that was left hanging. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. And it it also feels like a time when it's like simplify and declutter your energy and your way of being. It feels like you know, it's amazing how when you really listen to your heart and you really listen to your body and you really do what Susan, you're always saying, and live in the truth with just what is showing up, not the fantasies, not what you'd like it to be, but just what is here, what is really presenting itself to me and what is really true within myself without trying to kid myself or make it something else. That is one of the big gifts of this month. It feels like get getting to see how um effortless and in flow you can feel when you really cut out all that stuff. It's just chatter. I call it chatter. Yeah, chatter, and it's stuff that we just add as humans. We just add it. I don't know if we're afraid life's gonna be too boring without it, or if we just this is how we were raised, so this is what we have seen, so we think that has to be there, but there's no really no room for it anymore. It's just this thing of you know what, if we're really honest with ourselves, do I need this? The answer is no. And does it add anything? No. And if I let it fall away, can I then appreciate, like we were saying, more of what is here for me and see the quality? It's like when, it's like a hoarder, you know, when you come into a hoarder's house and it's like, well, they've got lots of nice stuff, but it's underneath the the dirt and the stuff and the clutter, so they can't enjoy it. That's what we do energetically. We add all this other clutter on top of what really is good, and then we can't see it anymore.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I start to want to clean my house when Mercury's retrograde. But that's me why I just decided I have to start reorganizing the pantry and do jobs.

SPEAKER_01:

I went crazy last weekend. Last weekend I was uh slashing and burning, yes, because it was like I know it's not spring, but it is time for this stuff too. Yeah, and and we need to do that energetically too. Really, I I've been getting so many messages in the readings about this is the month to, and again, it might sound trite, but write down what your intentions are in a really stripped-down way. You don't want to say, I want a new job this year, I want this or that. You want to be really clear on what's the energy I want to experience. I want to experience more flow with abundance and feeling fulfilled in my purpose. You know, that's a really clear manifestation, one that's not attached to a certain outcome. And then making sure your energy is nice and streamlined and intentional moving into the year ahead.

SPEAKER_00:

Absolutely. Absolutely. I'm with you. I think now is the time to start looking at that. We get all distracted in December, we're doing too much and everything's going on. And by January, the new year is here. So now is the time to start looking at this. One of the things that I'm excited about that I like with a planet changing direction is that Saturn, which has been retrograde, this month is turning direct at the end of the month on the 28th of November. Saturn is in Pisces and it stops being retrograde and says, okay, enough of this. I'm moving forward. And Saturn is the planet of our work, our career. It's also a planet that has to do with responsibility, taking charge, leadership, work, our professional life, our our standing in the community. So things that seem stuck in our our career, our job start to open up, like that dam starts to open. So the promised, you know, promotion that they put on hold, they start to talk, oh, it looks like we might have the budget for that after all. And things start to open up. If you like your career, your job, you get energized by it. You start to think of new ideas. Now, early next year, Saturn is going to wave goodbye to Pisces and it's going to enter the sign of Aries, which I am super excited about. Um, Indy and I are both cardinal signs, and so we're going to react to this Saturn and Aries a bit more forcefully, maybe, than the general population. The cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. Those four signs are going to react to this new energy a little bit. So don't be surprised if you see career changes, you know, promotions, starting your own business. Saturn is not afraid to take the responsibility and say, you know what? I've I've always wanted to be a professional card reader, a professional astrologer. I'm going to do it. You're just, you're not afraid to take on a big task or a big responsibility. And you start to think about it now as Saturn starts to unblock little by little and move forward. You're starting to think, oh, you know, next year I think I want to do this. Or next year, maybe I'll go to part-time and start my own business the rest of the time. You're already starting to think ahead. And 2026 is going to see a lot of professional changes for a lot of people. Not necessarily bad changes. I know right now people are upset and sometimes afraid, and our country is in a bit of upheaval, to put it mildly. So we don't always know what's going on. But I like this Saturn in Aries energy that's coming in next year. We'll talk more about it next year, but it's especially going to be a plus for the other fire signs, which are Leo and Sagittarius. If you're an Aries or Leo or Sagittarius, I see some good positive career changes for you in 26.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. And and the messages from Spirit right now are talking about the way we're being called to re uh frame the way we look at success and abundance. We have this, you know, template of what that means and this tie to, you know, the numbers, the financial numbers in a way, or it means you have to have these things in place, or you know, or this idea of security. I really, really see that perception shifting quite a bit at the end of this year and moving into 2026. I see us starting to look, oh, Archangel Michael with the root chakras coming out. That root chakra is all about the way we survive, the way we live on this planet. And I see perceptions around this completely changing. Um, it's gonna be easier for the for the the little kids now, when they grow up, they're not gonna have the perceptions we do about, you know, security and money and all that. So we who are maybe like 35 plus are really gonna be overhauling and and working with with practice to open up to new perceptions around what support is, around what success is, around what flow and abundance are, because it just doesn't always look like a check that you're bringing to the bank. It just looks, it can look like a lot of different things. And so, you know, that's gonna really serve you now to look at what are my perceptions around what I have to have or what I, you know, I'm holding myself to the expectation of when it comes to um money particularly, but also success. And how can I broaden that to be more in alignment with the way the universe views abundance and flow and you know, really letting myself enjoy a higher level of support?

SPEAKER_00:

You you nailed it because this is something I ask my clients all the time who are talking to me about their work. And I'll say, What spells success to you? And for some people, it's money, it's the dollars, the z enough zeros after their salary. But for other people, it's maybe the status symbols, maybe it's the title, maybe it's a corner office, maybe it's a plaque on your door, you know, maybe it's having your own personal system, the the big house, the fast car, the the accoutrements of success. There's nothing wrong with knowing that that's what you want. Sometimes it's the respect of your peers, you know. Forget the money. I want my peers to know I'm good at what I do and and look at me with respect. Other times it could be something else. It could be being public, it could be fame, like screw the money. I want everybody to know who I am. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with any of those things. But it's gonna create a problem if you don't know that's what you want, if you don't know that's what it means to you. Because if fame is what means success to you, it doesn't matter how much money you're bringing in, if you're doing that in obscurity, you're not gonna feel like a success.

SPEAKER_01:

And it also doesn't matter if you're actually manifesting those things from an ego point of view, and then when you get them, they don't actually mean anything to you either. You know, maybe you get that fame and you're like, this didn't is not giving me the feeling I thought it would. And that's why, you know, okay, if I am going after this as a measure of my success, what's the feeling I'm imagining that I'm gonna have when I get it? And why don't I just manifest that feeling instead? Because then spirit will have a lot of better ways to give me that feeling right now that I don't have to wait for, really.

SPEAKER_00:

I tell people all the time, don't think about the ways to get there. Because our human mind is very finite and doesn't see all the possibilities. Yeah, so don't think about step one, step two, step three. See and think about I'm here. I want to be here and lift this up to your higher self, lift this up to your guides, your angels. This is what I want, this is my goal, you know, because they can find ways to bring that about that you can't. And sometimes spirit will bring about things in surprising ways, sometimes in hilarious ways, you know. And I tell this story all the time. But years ago, when I first moved to North Carolina, I'd moved, it was an expensive move. I had no business set up here, I had no network, I had to start all over again. And so I was concerned about money. Like, okay, Susan, don't, you know, don't buy the good bacon, you know, buy the off-brand cheap stuff. You're saving money, you know. And a friend of mine called me up and wanted to go. I know you've heard this story before, India, probably many times. Wanted to go on a girls' road trip across the country. And I said, no, I said, I can't do this now. I just moved here. I'm not even generating any income. I can't go, but thanks for asking, maybe another time. Well, turns out her husband contacted me and offered to pay all my expenses to go on this trip because he wanted his wife to go out of town for three weeks so he could have the house to himself. Now, I would have never thought that that would be the way I would get to go on this trip. But that's what I mean about allow the universe to surprise you because you're not gonna see or know the possibilities that spirit knows. So just concentrate on your end result. I'm gonna say I know we're at November of 25, but 2026, it is a big manifesting year. Oh, yeah. I might do some classes or workshops on manifesting because 26 is gonna be create it, make it happen. The energy is there, yeah. And it'll quicker money quicker, quicker.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes. Now, yes. Now, by the time most people hear this, the full moon in Taurus will be over, and that's what we're currently in the energies of bringing in. Um Taurus, bringing in those very wonderful probably why we're focusing on this earthly aspect, but then on the 20th, we have the new moon in Scorpio, right? Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00:

I thought, is it the 20th? Yeah, you're right, it's the 20th. We have that 28 degrees Scorpio new moon. Okay, I love new moons. Yeah, new moons are all about new possibilities, new changes, but changes on your terms. How do you want to look at a situation differently? So we have those aha moments, you know. How do you want to move into a new area, a new field of study, uh a new job? What do you want new coming into your life? Yeah. Chances are we all have something we'd like coming in. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

And how does that double doors double doors, double dose of Scorpio energy uh flavor this new moon right before we head into Sagittarius season?

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I love Scorpio energies, you know, and if you have, if you're Scorpio or have a lot of Scorpio energy in your chart, you're gonna enjoy this. It's gonna feel natural to you and good to you. It's gonna help you get to the heart of things so you can move forward. So I like this. Scorpio is powerful, it's intense. You know, Scorpio doesn't have a middle ground, you know, it's all one way, it's all the other way, and there's nothing in between. So they can be a bit extreme and very intense, but also transformative. If there's one word you want to use about Scorpio, it is transformative. So there is a powerful energy here in November for us to transform our lives from what we have that we may not be enjoying to what we don't have that we are seeking in our lives. So I love that power and that intensity. And I've said I don't do a lot of ceremony work, but if I'm gonna do any, I'll do it around the full moon and the new moon. Because the full moon is all about releasing and letting go. So, what do you want to let go of? What has reached its fullness in your life? You no longer need them. And then the new moon is what am I gonna bring in? So I love ceremony work with the new moon because what you're doing is kind of beefing up those new vibes, that new energy, that change, that dynamic. Wonderful time to try new things. The new moon's energies are gonna start three days before and last up to three days after. So you're really talking from like the 17th of November till the 23rd of November. You're in that little period of new moon energies, and it's a wonderful time to explore with not a lot of downside. You know, you explore Russia and you go, I didn't think the food was that great, and you don't go back again. It's not like you go and you get food poisoning and something terrible happens. So you're able to explore a little bit more without negative consequences.

SPEAKER_01:

So Scorpio energy definitely brings more magic to things.

SPEAKER_00:

Our feelings are enhanced and intensified. When I said Scorpio doesn't mess around, whatever we feel, it's like we feel on steroids. We feel times a hundred. So if we're happy, we are connected with that pure joy of the universe, and if we are unhappy, we can make everybody around us miserable because we're not gonna pretend, oh oh yeah, everything is fine. No, life sucks. I'm mad at the world. So, whatever we feel, we are going to feel to the depths of our being. So be prepared for a lot of emotion. If you are the parent of a teenager, be prepared for some meltdowns. Those emotions may come spilling out, you know, over green beans at dinner or whatever. But even as adults, even with self-awareness, there's a lot of those moments where you're like, Oh, I didn't know that was hiding there. We never get to an age where we stop growing or stop learning. I'm in my 70s, and sometimes they'll be like, Oh, I thought I'd taken care of that 10 years ago. Okay, round two. You know, we start to see how to fix it.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. And and I'm seeing so much here, especially as we're gonna head into Sagittarius season on the 22nd of November, or is it the 21st? Let's see. I think it's the 22nd. 21st. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, 21st. Okay.

SPEAKER_01:

According to my calendar. We're gonna head into that. And when I am tapping into that, I'm feeling so much of the universe uh saying it's your turn, you know. Um, there's not gonna be much room for defaulting on your manifesting, uh, I don't want to say responsibilities, but you know, uh co-creative um your part, you know, your part that the spirit wants you to do with with with spirit. So it is a yin-yang, you know, we we have to be in this flow of I'm offering to the universe this which I would like to create, and here's what I'm doing in alignment with that, and then I'm allowing spirit to bring this, that, and the other into me and all these possibilities. That's the yin, and the doing is the young. And you know, that that balance and that flow, that two-way street, is gonna be really, really important to the universe. Um, come Sagittarius season and then and then the year ahead. So a good practice will be just to always sort of accountability check yourself and say, okay, have I created enough space to receive with the universe? How could I do more of that? And also, have I been proactive and intentional with the energy and actions and words and thoughts that I'm putting out there because we really can't coast anymore.

SPEAKER_00:

It's a good way to put it. We can't coast. This is not a superficial energy month. There's too much happening. We also have Jupiter, which has been in cancer for most of well, for many, many months. It's gonna go retrograde in November. Cancer rules home, family, real estate, food. So um, you know, every January I do my predictions talk. What do I think is going to be happening in the year ahead? And this past year in January of 25, one of the things I said is I see grocery prices going up. And one of the reasons I said that is because Jupiter was going to go into cancer. Jupiter is a planet about expansion, making things bigger. Cancer is a sign of food. Doesn't take a genius astrologer to say these two together may equal higher food prices. Now in November, Jupiter's gonna turn retrograde. I think it turns retrograde on the 11th, and then it's gonna stay retrograde until March of 2026. So it's gonna be retrograde for a few months. So things may slow down in the real estate market. You know, you may be looking for a home and you just can't find anything, or everything seems stuck, or you know, it looked like something was moving forward with a sale or a purchase and it hits snags. Totally normal. Remember where I said, allow extra time. Don't put yourself on tight timelines because it's just gonna stress you out. So as this slows down, I'm hoping that we'll see lower food prices. I don't know that we will, but I'm gonna say it's a possibility. But as Jupiter slows down and it's in food, we may see more food shortages, more delays in food. Think COVID. We didn't starve, but lots of times the item you wanted wasn't on the grocery store shelf. You know, you had to find your new brand of peanut butter and settle for a less instellar toilet paper brand, or you know, you took what was available, you know. So I think we're gonna see some changes here in terms of the food industry in supply chain, you know, commands of things slowing down. I think the real estate market is gonna see a little bit of a drop. I don't think it's gonna be a steep like crash or anything, but I do think we're gonna see, you know, maybe up to 20% drop in some real estate prices. So that's good if you're a buyer and not so good if you're a seller, and like anything else. Astrology is what it is, and sometimes it helps us and sometimes it bothers us, and that's just the way it is. Things with family may slow down. You know, maybe your family gets together every Thanksgiving or Christmas and you host. Jupiter's retrograde, maybe they can't make it this year with this airline step and the government shutdown. Maybe the airlines can't get you there in time for Christmas. And if you're making your reservations now for the holidays, don't do it for the day before the holiday. Remember, I said build in that cushion. There may be delays, you're going to New York and you're routed through, you know, Cincinnati or something. So we're gonna start to see a little bit of slowdown with this. Families may decide, you know what, we're gonna pare down the holidays this year. We're not gonna go crazy, very retrograde energy kind of thing. So that's fine, that's normal given what's going on. Yeah, in March of next year, it changes, but for the next couple of months, be aware.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, beautiful. Do you think feel like there's anything else that people need to be focusing on this November? I feel like that's a lot for people to a lot.

SPEAKER_00:

That is a lot, probably enough. It is about don't try to force the issue, yeah. Allow it to unfold. Uh, you know, just be open to allowing it to happen in its own time because our timing may be a bit messed up this month with planets going forward and backwards and doing goodness knows what all, it's one day it's you know, push forward and the next day it's oh, I don't even want to deal with this. So just be patient with yourself and allow this to unfold and try not to force it because it's like hurry up and wait. You'll just make yourself more frustrated. The more you try to hurry it up, the more frustrated you're gonna get.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. And I will say for this, um, for these messages, Archangel Michael has been coming through a lot. And so remember that um you can call upon your help, you can call upon the protection, um, call upon the help, especially when you're dealing with things that have to do with earthly means and ask for, ask to be shown, you know, the different ways to do things or the way you, the way something's serving you. Like you were talking about travel, ask to be shown. Okay, so things didn't line up like I wanted. How is this actually serving me? How can I get in flow with this? What's the way that I can do that would sort of clean my lens so that I can take my power back and be in this place of I can't control what's happening, but I can tap into the ways that it's actually I can be in flow with it and it can serve me in a in a surprising way.

SPEAKER_00:

Absolutely. Remember, Pisces is a sign that deals with our health and well-being. It's a you know healing sign. And Saturn has been retrograde, and we have all this stuff in the news about health care and the government shutdown and everything is stuck. At the end of the month, Saturn turns direct. So I'm not saying it's gonna be over by then, but I'm saying we may start to see some progress by the end of this month as things slowly start to turn around. The energies will lift.
