Week of November 2, 2025

We’re fresh out of the Halloween portal and officially back to school at The Witchling Academy. Scorpio season’s in full swing, Mercury’s shadow is creeping closer, and the Taurus Full Moon on November 5 is spotlighting your values, your boundaries, and your bandwidth.

The astrology this week hums with “slow down to stabilize” energy — and The Witchling Academy Tarot by Pamela Chen matches it perfectly. The spread is full of threes, a sacred number of creation and collaboration, but it comes with a warning: creativity without boundaries leads straight to burnout.

We talk about the Taurus Full Moon (value check), the Mercury retrograde pre-game (audit season), and how outer-planet energy is landing differently for each rising sign. Then we explore the Tarot’s message: pace yourself, protect your energy, and remember that slow, sustainable magic wins the long game.

Hello. Welcome back to your Sunday Woo Crew Private podcast. This is going to be for the full week of November the second through November the eighth, 2025. Y'all were already in the month of November. I don't know how it happened, but. Did. We are joined on off mic today by a couple of toasted marshmallows. I know you can't see them 'cause we're not doing loom videos anymore. Um, but Damon and Stephan Salvato are joining us and you might hear a little bit of squirrely cat energy in the background. For those of you who. Know about my boys. Um, they are saying hello to you. Alright. This week we are going to be using the Witch Lean Academy Tarot by Pamela Chen. There was just something about the levity in this deck and it was just been calling to me for a couple of weeks and it just sort of like hitting apex when I was looking at all the decks on the shelf. So that is what we're using this week. And the reason is because I feel like we are just being welcomed back to the witch lane halls. It, the Halloween portal just closed. We just went through it. When you get this reading and it honestly feels like we're all first years again, it's like we've got clean notebooks, new robes, a little nervous energy, and there is a lot of magic in the air. And they don't mean that just figuratively. I mean it literally. There was a lot of astrological, um, lineups that, um, we talked about for last week's episode. And on just a more witchy woo, um. More witchy woo, sort of framework here. Um, I, it, it, it basically, it, the veil was very thin and I feel like the veil being very thin continues into the beginning of our week, this week for this episode. So you can really think of this week, November 2nd through eighth. It's kind of like we're sitting between worlds. First of all. On a very practical sense, mercury is about to turn retrograde. We're gonna talk about that quite a bit this week. The US elections are buzzing. You might think like, ah, like it's kind of an off year. There is a lot going on on local and state and regional levels, and that happens in the middle of the week for this week's reading. And then we've got a Taurus full Moon right after election day on November 5th. And all of this is really pulling a lot of emotions. It feels like tides in the ocean. There's a very watery feeling to everything. Makes a lot of sense. We are in Scorpio season, after all, so there's a lot of noise. There is opinions and data and chaos, but under all of it, there is. Steadiness. If you know where to listen, we are going to lean really, really heavily into that. Um, so especially for your business because there's so much to talk about. So, um, to keep with the little theme, I'm gonna say sharpen your pencils, ground your energy, and just remember that the purpose of study isn't perfection. It is in the preparation, which is what we are doing when we gather every week for this private podcast. So let's start with looking at the sky. In our astrology weather, we have a full moon and Taurus on November the fifth. This Full Moon hits at 13 Degrees Taurus, and it lights up everything that is tied to value, stability, and self-worth. It is asking what your, it's asking you to ask yourself, what are you clutching that no longer feels safe? Is it in your pricing, in your business? It is in your, is it in your habits as a CEO? Is it in your routines and the way you do things in your business? I, I had somebody's guide, guide who has been pretty adamant, um, since sitting down to do the script and record with you all. That there is, um, at least one, someone in our lineup, in our membership group here who really struggles with, but this is the way I've always done it. And it's not like you tell yourself that when you're doing the work, but in this moment you might be reflecting as you're, you know, hearing the podcast and the reading for the week. And you might be like, oh my God. That's, that's exactly the, the unspoken, non verbalized words. That come out that are telling me, oh, I, I, you know, always lean on just what I know and what's always been done, and, and everything that's happening right now is really shaking up that well, it's always been done this way and, and so you might find yourself renegotiating what enoughness means. And anything that's a really interesting thing. It's coming out in this full moon and Taurus. Taurus is an earth sign. Um, Taurus also really loves, you know, the finer things in life, the comfort of life and, and in our businesses, you know, sometimes we lean on enoughness being, you know, well, I have enough. Money, whatever that might be. Um, I have enough freedom and time and I feel comfortable. And basically like the level to which you would like to live is covered by the revenue and income that comes in through your business and, and you might find yourself renegotiating what that means right now. Um, I've got somebody else's guide who is saying that that renegotiation is really coming as the result of you likely feeling that. What used to be the comfort level just isn't the same anymore and, and you know, congratulations, you're right on time with the rest of the collective. I do feel like there is a ripple effect in terms of our businesses, because these are business readings. And it is going to trickle down into pricing. And this is so much, it goes so far beyond, um, you know, inflation rates and tariff costs and like all the things. It is so much more than that. It really comes down to like, where am I willing to, um, you know, give, and where am I. You know, where am I not? And so, so you have an, you have a lot of things to think about as you go through this new moon, or sorry, this full moon in Taurus on November the fifth, and that comes right after some pretty strong election day vibes on November 4th. Now, I, I have a couple of you on in this membership list who aren't not in the United. States and you don't vote in the US elections, however, there is this collective feeling of, you know, again, the ripple effect. Now, this might not affect you as directly as the majority of the list who are based in the United States as far as I know. When I look at your names, as far as I know, um, but you can, everyone can really think of November 4th as having a sort of a vibe that is happening and over on social media. I have seen a lot of astrologers leading up to this, and they've been giving kind of like a variation on sort of chaotic vibes. For November the fourth for a variety of reasons for things that are moving through the sky, but I, I really want us to anchor in on nuance because TAUs Taurus is a fixed earth sign, so it resists explosions. It's a lot more measured, like it takes a lot to make Taurus. Use its horns, you know? And what we'll see instead are truths that get revealed slowly, very earth energy sort of vibe there. You know, when you, we will go back to our gardening analogies that we use regularly. And so with Earth Energy, like you can stare at a plant, you can yell at a plant. You can coax it and it's still gonna grow as it wants to grow. And so nature just doesn't move as quickly as, um, sometimes we would like to demand it to move. And so when you have an earth sign like Taurus, you'll see things like truths, not necessarily like these. Big splashy reveals, but it's a little bit more slow. You can think of it like tectonic plates that are shifting, which is really interesting because there have been a lot of earthquakes around the Pacific Ring of Fire, which have caused some, um, some volcanoes to erupt over in the. Philippines, um, in the week before this reading. And so there is kind of this like earthly movement that is going on in the real world, but then in our energetic world, um, we also feel those shifts as well. So can you expect tension? Yes. On November the fourth, can you expect tension? I dare say yes, but not, but it's not a meltdown. So you really wanna think of it like a simmer and not like a bomb that's detonating. And, and again, if you are, um, American based or you're on American soil, I think that you are going to be feeling this a bit more because of things that are happening. But I do not think that that is unique to what is happening in the lay lines of the united. Dates. It is something that is also reverberating around the world. So, um, our clientele tend to be quite international these days. The world has gotten very small with the world being online, and so there is sort of a collective, collective, uh, vibe for election day on November 4th, and then again, that is followed right away by that full Moon and Taurus on November 5th. So. You go through the fourth, and then you get to that full moon, and then you have these, these questionings, you know, like, like maybe it's time to renegotiate what enough means, and maybe it's time for some changes. And then all of this is surrounded like it's cocooned, we should say, by mercury's. Pre retrograde shadow. So when this reading hits your RSS feed, we are exactly one week from our Mercury retrograde, which starts on November the ninth, and we'll go through the, through the 29th. Um, so you can already feel the lag happening. There have been tech gremlins already for sure, and there have been some typos. There've been some time slips, some things that have been a little bit wonky. So you can think of this week definitely as a bit of a rehearsal. I would recommend doing all the reads as we've been talking about. Review whatever it is you're doing. Reorganize things, revisit things. Don't relaunch things yet, but build buffers and test your systems. This is always a great time. All Mercury retrogrades are great times for testing things. I think it's one of the things that people forget about with Mercury. They're like, oh no, I have to batten down the hatches. Like there's a hurricane coming. Um, speaking of massive hurricane in the Caribbean before this reading reached your inbox. So, so there, there are, you know, real world examples of, you know. Truly catastrophic events. This is not necessarily that. And so starting to normalize what it means to have this rainstorm kind of come through on a regular basis, it, it's very cleansing and, and so instead of trying to make big things happen. During the Mercury retrograde, you can prepare yourself this week for a much smarter strategy that can totally make you bank, you could totally make a ton of money during this time, can totally make you, um, some great results, like more, more subscribers and followers or more leads generated, et cetera, et cetera. And, and it comes in this reframe of again, what that Full Moon and Taurus on November 5th is asking you to do. What am I doing here? Like, what is enough? What is enough? And, and, and if you can answer that question just a fraction better than you would've answered it on November 4th, then you'll go through Mercury retrograde in the fourth quarter here. Um, kind of in a power position really is what I'm being told to tell you. And, and, and, and it gives you a chance to, um, pilot some new offers and recognize the. New sort of, there's like a new flow to business and economy that is starting to show up and it's so much less, um, so much less like forced in, into a heavy structure. Like if you have been in the business world a while, and I know there's some of you on the list you have who have been like me, you know that we have been told over the last decade we've been taught, I mean, it has been drilled into us like, this is how you do a launch. I mean, you calendar a launch, there's certain emails that come out at certain times, and it's not that you won't still do those things, but there are things that happen around that where it's not so rigid and it's just not so. Stuck in, like, but this is how you get the numbers out of the launch. It's, it's a little more flexible, it's a bit more yin, it's a bit more, uh, feminine energy, softer, um, just less hard lines, less masculine energy in there. So, so that would be, you know, the really big, um, thing to recognize there. Also, just recognize that Mercury is going to cover Black Friday weekend, which typically tends to be one of the largest shopping weekends. Not just for products, for things like the holiday season, but also in our business world. There are a lot of people who launch during Black Friday weekend. Does this mean that you should not launch something during black? Friday weekend, I would say no. Like definitely go for it. But with a, with a softer strategy, how do you approach this in terms of a curiosity mindset rather than here's my target, good, better, best goals, let's go and you know, you might still hit those good, better, best goals. Right on. Right on the nose, and I hope you do and also. You know, allow yourself a little bit of flexibility in there. Um, what can, what can a more flexible, good, better, best do for you? And how does it address that, address that enoughness that comes out of that question that gets, um, asked of you on that full moon and TA on November the fifth. So that, that is a lot. But that is the vibe for the week. So our outer planets are still at play. We're gonna talk about those real quick before we get into tarot. Pluto is still direct in Aquarius hip, so we're talking structural reform. This hits power in tech and systems and equity issues. We are definitely seeing that show up, um, especially this week while people are talking about electing local officials in particular. And then Ur Uranus is retrograde and Taurus still this week. So this is disruption in stability and it really is disruption in service of something. You get innovation from discomfort. If you are a creative, you know that creativity comes out of chaos. There is rarely a great breakthrough in life that comes from being absolutely comfortable, which is going to be interesting with that Taurus full Moon, because Taurus really loves its comfort. But it's opposite sin of Scorpio. And Scorpio really loves innovation and it is, um, you know, it sees us through a death period, which is a, um. Which is definitely a, sorry, my cats are, are looking around and I feel like we're joined by spirit while I'm on the microphone. We'll see if anything comes through. I was like, what is happening over here? Um, but we are, we are in the death season of the year. Um, they said that they, they went all spooky do when I said death season. Um, and, and you know, when we are in, in the thin veil season around Halloweenish time, um, that's a. Top of Scorpio season, we, we get this, you know. We get this connection to transformation. If you look at the death card in tarot, that that's the ultimate transformation card. It is sort of like the apex of the hero's journey. The hero starts as the fool and goes on. This journey ends up going through massive transformation at the death card point, and then. Finds new purpose by the time you reach the world at the end, and then you start the cycle all over again. So, um, I, I think there's something really beautiful in that, and I, I will probably keep coming back to this point just because there's something in it that I think is very healing, especially from a business standpoint, because there's just a lot of transformation that has needed to happen for a long time in our business world and is currently happening, and it is really uncomfortable, y'all. It's uncomfortable. So there you go. Alright, Neptune is retrograde in Pisces still as well when we have this week's breeding, so we're talking dreams versus delusion check-ins. So that that, that grounded Taurus full moon on November 5th is gonna help you with that. That question of like, but what is enoughness? It kind of gets you out of the dream state and out of, you know, delusions and gets you into sort of a more reality dreams. States, which is like, okay, this dream is now officially rooted in reality. And not just like, well, if I did fantasy math, I could be a 10 million billionaire. It's like, well, how do you get that? You know? So, um, so yeah, definitely root yourself. Um, somebody's guide is laughing and they were saying that. Somebody in here, you've been having a lot of fun with fantasy math and the encouragement is to really use this mercury retrograde period to review and reflect and like look and get really curious and you're gonna get great honest answers during this period because it's a lot harder to bullshit during a Mercury retrograde. It just is, and I'm getting the feeling that this Mercury retrograde in particular, is gonna be really hard for other people to bullshit. So if you notice that you have offers that just like aren't taking off, there's a reason people are being really honest. They're telling you, it gives you a chance to rework the offer and make it better, right? It doesn't mean that you have failed. It just means that like you finally got honest data and it's time to use it. And then we have Jupiter and cancer as well this week. So, um, we're talking about growth through emotional connection and authenticity. I really love this. Um, I really love Jupiter as a planet in general, in astrology. And, and, and I feel like, um, this Jupiter and Cancer has such like a. Very like quiet, nurturing kind of energy that, um. Is really going to help, um, you first in particular, um, find emotional connection and authenticity when it comes to connecting with your audience. And I think that's a really good thing. So, um, that is also happening this week. So when you think about the outer plan, they're kind of like. Slow giants and you know, you can really think of them, especially this week, influencing you most through your rising sign. So if you, um, have not looked at your chart recently, or if you have not, uh, if you don't remember your big three and your rising sign is one of those, um, I would recommend going to, um, like. As Astro Cafe, astrology Cafe, like there's so many free, you could go. The Astro Twins. There are free calculator generators online. You need your birth day, obviously your birth, exact birth time. And then you need your birth location. And if you don't have your exact birth time, you can find it on your, um, your birth certificate. If you don't have access to that or if you just don't have the time, which is a lot more common than you would think, so you would not be alone. If that's you, you, this is where you have to kind of play with it. So you, what I love to do is to start with asking family, ask your mom. But moms have traditionally been. If you have access to your mom, um, and you wanna talk to her moms have traditionally been, um, a little not accurate. Um, I had a client years ago who, um, had been born, um, in a very like. Very witchy, natural sort of birthing plan. And, um, her mom swore that the sun was rising when she was born. And when she talked to her aunt, who was present at the birth assisting her mother, um, she found out she was born at like two in the morning. It was pitch black outside. So, you know, um, so definitely talk with, um, people who might know, um, who aren't necessarily in the process of giving birth. And, and you might get a. Better, accurate thing. And if you don't have access to that, you can start with midnight in the noon and you can even do the like half days on that. So like midnight to uh, you could do like 6:00 AM and then noon, and then 6:00 PM and see how much the rising signs. Change through that day. Um, and then at that point it's going to come down to a lot of self-reflection. Not delusion, not not the, uh, Neptune energy there, but not delusion. But, um, but to really think about like, how, how do I normally operate? Asking friends, like, what is your first impression when you meet me? Um, when you met me. And just noticing those things and it's gonna give you some clues onto what your, what would be more accurate to be your rising sign. And then that's kind of how you work with your chart throughout your life. It's really interesting when people don't have an exact birth time. I think it's kind of magical actually. Um, but that would be for like a whole other episode and I've probably already talked about it way too long. So if you only read your sun sign, just start paying attention to your rising, it governs your timing and your house. Placements and it really governs your weather pattern. So when we do these kinds of general collective readings, you will have a weather pattern that is affecting you specifically. And it's usually always, it's not, usually, it's always determined by your rising sign. So for example, with a Taurus rising, this full moon is gonna hit your first house. This is an identity reset. And if you're a Leo, rising tension around your career and public perception is in play. And if you're a Scorpio rising, you're gonna have some relationship audits. So knowing your rising sign is like checking the local forecast instead of the national headlines. And that's really what you're, you're doing when, when you're doing that. Now, the national headlines are important because as a business owner, you are working with. Other people, which means you wanna know what those headlines are, you wanna know how they're being affected and you wanna know sort of like what the general vibe is, but for your own like micro level CEO C-suite, office level thing, you know, um, really look at it through your rising sign. So your strategy for the week here is to audit your value systems, to double check communications and to practice patients. The cosmos are grading you on consistency, not on speed, and that message has been coming up four weeks now. It is not about speed right now. It is definitely about consistency and also a for effort. You get. Extra credit points for effort right now. And um, and I know that sounds kind of weird to think of yourself as being sort of graded, but um, I think we have kind of a, we have a rather neuro divergent crowd here and including your host and, um, sometimes having systems that allow you to figure out how do I measure myself and how do I feel in those measurements is really going to help. Alright, let's talk about tarot Now, Amer, we are using the Witching Academy Tarot, so the grading analogies kind of fit. Um, and this is a super fun deck by Pamela Chen. It's rooted in, um, anime and the whole thing, like the, the book that goes along with it reads like a novel. So it's super fun. Highly recommend it. If you need a deck that has levity. This is your deck, and if you have your own tarot deck that you're using this week, now is the time to pull out those cards so that you can get a visual to go along with what I'm telling you and you can study your own cards and get a deeper relationship with them. So we're gonna talk first about the base of the pyramid. We've got the five of swords upright, the page of Pentacles in reverse, and then the seven of Swords upright and yda base just shows a whole lot of mental overdrive. If you were a student in the Witching Academy. You are overthinking everything that you are doing. Congratulations. You are Hermione Granger. The five of Swords is an ego conflict, and it is the urge to win instead of understanding. And then we've got our page of Pentacles reversed. This warn of rushing the learning curve again, that like, don't rush, you don't get bonus points for rushing. You just don't. You cannot fast track mastery no matter how clever the shortcut. And there are a lot of people doing some shortcuts and some of them are doing them very publicly right now and they sometimes look really sexy. And I'm just gonna tell you, they're gonna get their homework sent back. They're gonna have to redo the assignment. So, um, just because they're bigger and more famous and flashier and they're all over your Instagram or whatever, doesn't necessarily mean that they're doing better than you. Keep your eyes on your own homework. So the Seven of Swords, um, finishes out our base of the pyramid. And a seven of swords says to protect your ideas, but don't isolate yourself. I feel like this is really important. It's sort of this like a judicious moment. It's like, okay, slow down for a minute. Do you have to share everything right away? Well, what purpose does that serve? Does that add to the enoughness factor that you're answering from that full moon on November the fifth? And, and you know, sometimes you need to sit with your ideas just a little bit if you're rushing to, you know. Sort of verbal vomit ideas all over the place. You're probably experiencing that five of swords, ego conflict. You're like, I gotta win. I gotta win. Because you're seeing Paige of Pentacles reverse. You're watching other people fast track their mastery and you're like, oh, I'm behind. I gotta do it. You know? But you, you don't wanna isolate yourself, so you're not locking yourself away in a room. You're not, you know, um, putting yourself in a place where like you're just never gonna tell anybody what you're doing. It's just like slow down for a minute. Like, how about what if you get a moment to luxuriate in your ideas and the things you're working on first before you start sharing everything everywhere? Um, and, and it gives you a chance to evaluate. Who's really on my power team, who is not, who deserves to be a part of this inner circle of building these ideas, and who doesn't. So when you look at these all together, the five of Swords upright page of Pentacles reversed and seven of Swords upright, we're talking about holding boundaries around your mental bandwidth. Because as soon as you start rushing through that, you end up, you know, overextending yourself, and then you don't have any mental bandwidth. Left for you because now you're just answering everybody else first. So Scorpio season. That is what we're in right now. Scorpio season is full of a lot of psychic noise and, and it's sort of like being in a training arena right now. Um, you get a chance to choose your battles. Finish your homework and don't take the bait. You know, don't take the bait on on someone who seems like they've just got it more together and it's like, guess what, boo. They actually don't. So we'll move up to the middle of the pyramid and these are our confirmation cards for the week. We've got our three of cups upright and we've got the Queen of Pentacles upright. And this is where we get a little bit of, sort of like a soothing healing balm. We get the three of cups, which brings collaboration. And friendship. I love this. I've always called it the party card. It says that community care beats competition. And this is where by slowing down a little bit, you get to determine who's in the community and who's actually being competitive with you. Are they actually part of community or is it competition? And who do you wanna play with more? And then the Queen of Pentacles roots, all of that joy in practicality. I also love that she is a higher value in the suite of cards from the three. So it's sort of like having mom along for the ride, but like cool mom, she manages. She nurtures and she also delivers. And these two cards together, they're really humming with gratitude and grounded abundance. If you're tempted to do doom scroll, go hug your support system instead. And there's somebody's guide in here saying that one of you is listening to this, realizing you're like, oh shit, I don't know who I would go hug for a support system. Or you're like. Uh, I think is this person and if you're like, I think ending in a big question mark, that would mean it is time to do a little reflecting and reviewing and that would be most excellent. Pre Mercury retrograde activities to do so that when you do go through Mercury retrograde and you're like, all right, I'm gonna get hella curious and I'm gonna try a bunch of stuff, you're gonna know exactly who you feel more comfortable with.'cause you gave yourself a moment to figure out and separate the bullshitters from the people who are doing things, because there are people who are doing things that are flashy right now, and I don't know who this belongs to. I, I feel like it might be a bit of a universal thing. Because the guides just keep coming back to it, and it keeps coming outta my mouth. And I feel like a broken record right now. But, um. There is this, this message of like, stop trying to stop trying to, um, you know, keep up with the, the sort of like cool kid glamor crowd, you know? It doesn't mean that you become like the emo kid who you know. Eats lunch in the bathroom stall every day. God, these school analogies are really funny. Um, it doesn't mean that you do that, but, but it, it does mean that you don't have to, you don't have to try so hard. I'm like, give me the, give me the straight answer. And they're like, you just, you don't have to try so hard. High school doesn't last forever. All these people are gonna move on. You're gonna discover that the popular crowd is not really all that popular once middle age hits. And you just, you don't have to try so hard. You're allowed, you are allowed to be discerning. You're allowed to not have to go with the majority. You're also allowed to, um, to just, you know, keep. Keep working on the, the offers that you have in front of you. They need, they need reworking, they need work done on them. Um, and they need time, which means you cannot be giving your attention to somebody else just because they kind of make it seem like somehow by being associated with them, that you're gonna get more visibility. Um, that's very specific. I don't know who that belongs to. Um, but yeah, that, that, that happens by, by having a little too much time with the wrong, with the wrong folks. You know, this, this whole like people sorting thing has been going on for over a year and. Um, and, and it's interesting how it has evolved. You know, there was sort of this big like membership community friend audit that went on last year in 2024. And um, in this year, in 2025, it has shown up in this way where. Some of you might still feel like you're going through that audit period and others of you are doing a lot of fine tuning. Um, and, and I think that that is an interesting thing. If you are experiencing it. Remember, you're part of a collective, you can probably assume that you're best customers and clients are also going through this right now too, which means that when you show up for them. Not trying to be the super popular cool one with, you know, the, the funnel strategy and the messaging. Um, maybe they need something that's a little more, more grounded and um, sort of normal, normal. What is normal these days? Who knows? Um, top of the pyramid. This is our crowning energy for the week. We've got the night of Pentacles upright. The headline on this is Slow, steady, methodical Progress. No skipping steps. I wish I could make this up, but when I saw the night of Pentacles. Fly out onto the top of the pyramid. First of all, I was super excited 'cause I really love the Night of Pentacles and there is this tarot reader that I follow on YouTube and I love this guy to pieces. Um, but he is not a fan of the Night of Pentacles. And it cracks me up every time because I'm like, dude, what is so wrong with super slow, methodical energy? Um, you know, do we need, should we move slow super slowly all the time? No. But can you rush nature and natural timing? I would argue no, and I think this is where the friction is in our business world right now, is that people have been trying to skip steps and make things go faster. And you see it in all the AI offers that are out right now, and, and it's like people are just, it's another thing of like trying to make it faster. It. It's the faster, newer version of swipe files from 10 years ago where they're like, make it go faster. You don't have to sit and write all that copy. Make it go faster with my swipe files and how it's like you can make it go faster. They're like, use my AI bot and it will write all your copy for you. And it's like, this is. Same messaging over and over, and I love that The Night of Pentacles is just here saying like, show up every day. Like that is the message. You show up every day. It reminds us all that consistent small moves are the things that build empires, and it's really perfect for Mercury's shadow, which is what we are finishing out for this week's reading before we enter full Mercury retrograde next week, which we will definitely talk about in next week's. Breeding and so it's, you know, the, the res are still present this week. Revise, refine, repeat, and, and that, you know, no extra credit is given to rushing or somehow being faster. Being faster doesn't mean that you are first to market. Nobody is first to market anymore. They're just not. And so by not skipping steps and focusing on quality and craftsmanship, that night of Pentacles is here. Really honing in on that. And, um. You know, if you were at the Witch Land Academy, this would be your professor who's like, who's like, I, I want, I, there is no extra credit in this class. You, you have to show up every day to get attendance points and you know, you have like one, you know, final paper project and, and, and you get graded on quality of assembly rather than. You know, I wrote 50 pages and it's like the professor might give somebody with five pages a higher mark because it's better crafted and it gets to the point better than the person who wrote 50 pages of just a lot. Stuff that is unedited and it's not assembled well and all the things. So you can think about that in your world this week and ask yourself if the night of Pentacles was my professor at the Witch Lane Academy and I was handing in my project, which is my offer, or you know, the strategy or plan that I have. Like what? Like what kind of marks would I get? Like grade yourself a little bit, you know. And then let's talk a little bit about a numerology note, because we've got a whole bunch of threes this week. Um, we're also gonna see it when it comes into our CEO pillars in just a moment. And, and I, and I wanna bring up the numerology of threes before you listen to the CEO of pillars, because this numerology is really strong in the readings this week. Three is the number of creation. It is the spark that turns ideas from just an idea into something that you manifest, but it also demands boundaries. So when creativity explodes in all directions, you will very, very likely have exhaustion that follows. So when we see multiple threes, like we are this week, we've got threes showing up in cups, pentacles, wands. Which is reversed. We, it signals a need for self preservation and energetic hygiene. This question of who gets my energy right now is coming up. I think that this is going to show up during our Mercury retrograde weeks coming up by a lot. By a lot. So don't let Generos. Leak into depletion. That's really where it's at. I feel like there's going to be some big lessons on what, um, energetic hygiene is for you by the time you get to December 1st. And I dare say it's gonna show up in ways where you're like, I never even thought about it like that before. I'm so curious what it's gonna do for me, honestly, because I'm like, huh. We have, we have so much talk about boundaries and you know, I've been such a proponent of somatics in business for a while now. And, um, and, and this is sort of like a, a slightly different take on it. And it's very personal. You can't follow a formula. You gotta go through life. You gotta figure it out. All right, so let's look at our CEO pillars because we got a power of threes showing up here big time starting with Earth for your body. We have the three of Pentacles reversed. So your body is saying Stop multitasking. It's time to collaborate, but you need to clarify roles. I have been experiencing something recently 'cause I've been working with my, um, my nodal opposition. Um, the nodes right now are, um, Pisces of the is in the north node and Virgo is in this. South node and my natal chart is Virgo is in the north node and Pisces is in the south node. So like that last round of eclipses was. Very potent in my world. Um, it kicked off a lot of things which were exciting and things that are not ready to talk about publicly, but, um, but it, there, there was this big note on, you know, learning to embrace, um, contracts. So while the rest of the world is being. Um, encouraged to embrace being a little more free, spe spirited and looser my own personal chart, which is why it's really great to know your chart, um, is is asking me to do the opposite. So if I followed a general collective reading, um, I would be doing the thing that helps me the least. And so, um, I feel like there is a bit of this balance issue though that is important and, and it shows up here in this. Earth body pillar with the three of Pentacles reversed this week where we're talking about clarifying roles and how often do you write down, I am doing this and you're doing that, and you do it together. Somebody else in here needs that lesson and, um. It's literally like being shouted in my left ear. So I am telling you on the microphone, I hope it is sufficient so that they stop shouting in my ear. All right, I'm gonna move on to the next pillar to see if the shouting continues and I need to go back, or we're just gonna move forward. Um, so the next pillar is air for your voice. We have another three. We have the three of wands also reversed, so we're talking vision. Fatigue. You don't need a 10 year plan. Y'all also, tenure plans are not gonna work right now in general, so focus on the next right step. What is the next right step? You know, there's a reason why, um, I shifted out of doing the Loom videos into the podcast. It's an easier lift for weekly production, but also. It allows me to bring the price down and it allows me to have a more flexible 10 year plan. It also allows me to do things'cause there's only so long I can talk on the mic per week. My voice will wear out. And also, I don't think you want a three hour episode. I mean, maybe some of you do, but like, I dont think you do. And so I, I really. Love doing the shortened, um, quarterly forecasts now because it keeps you more in the present. You can only forecast so far ahead. And as from, just from like an energetic reader perspective, I think like even just five years ago, it was a lot easier to forecast further. Down the line. It is so much harder to do that. Now I have heard, um, as from astrologers who pull up charts, which can totally be calculated 'cause it's very mathematical and even they are having a difficult time interpreting that far ahead because there are things happening with these transits and changes that are showing us like the way you would ex. Expect something to happen that that like 1% chance different is the thing that ends up happening and then you're like, it completely changes the forecast. So when it comes to your business, you probably are feeling vision fatigue and it's like, okay, what happens if you let yourself relax a little bit? And you just think about what are the next, I'm being told next three things. And, and it's like, and there's always somebody in here where your three things are like, I'm gonna cure cancer and I'm gonna solve for world peace and I'm gonna, you know, I don't know, do something else. That's massive. And they're like, no, those aren't the three things, right? Um, the three things are like, I am going to, you know, do this thing first that helps me on a daily basis. I'm gonna do this thing next, which is great for the month, and I'm gonna do the third thing, which is like, if I can do this by the end of the quarter, that would be really great. Like, those are the next right steps and they're gonna change really quickly. So being able to be more flexible means that you have to. Shorten that down and bring the vision down. You can hold the vision on a big level, but this is where you start getting some of that, you know, energetic muscle. Um. You know, muscular strength and, and it gives you a chance to, um, you know, look at the, that, that picture where, where you are learning to hold your big heart vision without getting lost in it. And I would dare say some of that is that neptunian energy that's in the Astro Weather report. And it allows you to look at like, okay, but on a practical level, that night of Pentacle's Energy. What am I planting today and what did I plant yesterday that needs tending? And what's coming up for harvest tomorrow? What am I doing on that level? And if you have to do something, I've got a guide saying, if you need to do something very tangible in the real world, this is a very somatic thing to do. Like say, planting some herbs in a pot that you have to tend to every day. It's the thing that brings you back to, okay, but what am I doing today? And what do I need to do tomorrow so that you don't end up doing this super, like long range thing that's not helpful. And then you end up with vision fatigue.'cause you're like, I'm so tired and my idea's not happening, and now my ideas tired me out. And you're just like, no, it's not helping you. All right, let's talk about fire for, um, your fire pillar. For your energy. We've got the page of swords upright, finally, not a three. And we're talking about curiosity is fuel. So this is the only upright. No, no correction. Our, our next card is also upright. I was gonna say, this is our only upright card in the pillars. Um. No, this card is upright and so is our, our water pillar. Um, but our page of swords upright is curiosity is fuel. And so you're gonna ask questions before you act on things. This is the beauty of Mercury retrograde. It's gonna save you time, money, effort, and a whole lot of heartache later on by simply asking questions. This doesn't mean that you have to like. Pepper people with, you know, interrogations or something is just like asking questions, you know, to clarify something, to not assume something. Um, asking questions just to, um, learn a little bit more so you get kind of a more well-rounded picture of what's going on and, and being a little bit more curious than you normally would be, will help you get, um, a better. It'll help you lock in a better vision so you don't end up with vision fatigue, and it'll also help you focus on the next right step. So they're like, they're all interrelated. And then your final pillar is water for your nervous system. We're talking about the seven of wands in the upright position. This is for healthy boundaries. You're gonna be protecting your energy. You're gonna say no sooner. And so this is where you can start preparing yourself for really strong mercury and retrogrades. Season in your business, having this, um, start this week, the seven of Wands upright is going to be, I think one of the healthiest things that happens for you this week. You may not know why you are clearing your calendar, you just know that like, I need to say no to this and I need to say no to that. Um, I, I've got a guide suggesting that to close your calendar down for. Anything that is not about somebody trying to work with you for like revenue generating purposes in saying, you know, my calendar's closed until the new year. Um, is, would be a really great energy protective mechanism. It'll help you focus. They're also saying that just the idea of that kind of makes you wanna vomit a little bit. And if that is you and you know who you are and it's probably a sign that you are overgiving things in a certain way where you're your ener to bring your energy back to yourself is really important there. Um, one of my favorite spiritual teachers is Carolyn Mae. Um, and she, she has this framework. She's a medical intuitive. Um, and one of her things that she says for people is that, you know, you start with sort of an energetic bank account every day, and a lot of people start in debt. So you know, if you had a hundred dollars in your energetic bank account. A lot of people wake up in the morning and because they're still butt hurt over something to do with their mom, it's like minus $50 and then they're still ruminating about the argument they had with this friend or whatever. And it's like minus $25. And like the list of things is so long that by the time they actually wake up, they're like negative$200 in debt, um, starting the day. And people wonder why they get sick. And one of the things that she works with, um, a lot of, or she has worked with clients in her past is calling their spirit back to them. And I feel like this, this whole reading has this mark on it of like calling your spirit back. And she's like, you know, your spirit's kind of a wily little thing. Like, you'll be like, get back over here. And they're like, Hmm, no, I don't think so. And you're like, I said, get back over here. You know? And it's like you might be having a negotiation period right now where you're like. I said, get back home like it is time to get back home. We need to do things at home. I don't need you wandering out there. Um, and to bring your spirit home so that you can bring your energetic bank account back to, um, its full levels is, is really kind of what's happening here. And. It's really easy to send your energy out into the world in weird ways right now. So the repetition of threes across all the pillars just really underlines the whole week's homework, which is simplifying to strengthen over extension. Needing to call your spirit back, that dilutes all of your magic. So, um, you know, these are, these are big things. They're very personal. We talked about that in our quarterly forecasts and we also talked about it in the last, what, two weeks of readings, um, that the need for, for. Personal work in the fourth quarter is gonna be pretty big. It doesn't mean that you don't make money, you make plenty of money. I would argue that if you do this, you're probably gonna make a fuck ton more money. So, um, if that is something that you've really been trying to do in your business, just remember that these are the things energetically that allow you to make that money. So, um, we'll do a really quick repeater report. I know that it's reading is going kind of long this week, but the energy is just really big. Um. So we have, um, a continuing running story. We've had seven energy as well as the three energy. This week. Seven energy showed up in swords and wands and it just honestly really keeps resurfacing. Sevens as a numerology in tarot is about testing faith and staying grounded while external pressure builds. I mean, it sounds kind of like the pressure cooker that everybody is in right now. Um, but yeah, that, that is, that is a really big thing. So if you've been wondering like, why is my audience so distracted? Well, you know what? They might be feeling this right now. How do you meet them, where they're at to help them? And are you in a position to do that? You know, do you need to call your spirit back to yourself and do a little bit more of that three energy this week before you can meet your audience where they're at in the sevens? And then we have pentacle court cards, which have also been really big, um, in, in repeaters over, I don't know, like the last couple of months. This week we have the queen and the knights. They are evolving through the season. They're going from internal resource management to external reliability. I love it personally. I love the way they have been showing up across our readings. And then we also have some five energy which keeps poking up and it reminds us that conflict is still a teacher and not a verdict. So if we're looking at what the message is here, it is that mastery is quieter than crisis and, and it can be really hard to. You know, not always listen to the loud thing. Um, I've got some guides in here that are saying that the crisis, whether you feel like you are experiencing it or it is happening outside of you in the world, which is newsflash, an awful lot of it right now is, is gonna drown out your mastery. And, you know, your mastery is something that can help the crisis. A lot more deeply and more effectively, but it, it, it requires some discipline in order to, um, to, to give it that focus that it needs. So the cosmos, they are retraining our nervous systems to prefer maintenance over mania. So somebody in here, I'm hearing from your guide that has been really tempting lately to just sort of get swept up in. A lot of conversation that's a little bit manic, and it's like they're, they're saying that the best question you can ask yourself now through the end of November is, does this belong to me? Does this emotion belong to me? It's like, it can belong to me in terms of I empathize with that. I can feel it, whatever, but it's like, but the mania part of it. Does that belong to me? And the answer's probably gonna be no, which means you can then be free to focus on maintenance and doing all of that self-mastery work a lot more. So your journaling prompt if you would like to journal this week with me is what boundary, once reinforced, immediately restores my energy. And that is going to be your power play. So the Witch Lane Academy Tarot has been great this week. It really reminds us that magic is steady and not spectacle. With the Taurus Full Moon that lights up the sky in Mercury's shadow, creeping in your job is simple. It is to protect your focus, honor your rhythms, and celebrate small wind. The night of Pentacles rides at the top of our spread, and it reminds us that steady work beats sudden brilliance. Keep your feet on the ground, your curiosity alive and your heart guarded. But. Open and then next week we'll talk about a mercury officially stationing retrograde, and we'll explore how to work with the slowdown instead of against it. And we'll keep up with these lessons that we, you know, really introduced big time this week. So with that class is dismissed. Thank you for coming along with my cheesy metaphors and, um, continue practicing your practice and I'll see you next week. Bye.
