This weeks astrology sees Saturn turn direct in Pisces and Mercury turn direct in Scorpio. These two major turning points are wrapped up inside a wave of Venus-driven intensity from Monday onwards.


Relationships, money, boundaries, and truth all get activated, and something you’ve been circling finally clicks back into place. Venus in Scorpio stirs the deeper motivations beneath your choices, while Saturn and Mercury moving direct shift you out of the fog and into clarity.

This is a second chance week. Expect perspective changes, emotional resets, and a push toward decisions that actually align with where you're heading.

If you’ve felt stalled, stretched thin, or unsure of your next move, this episode breaks down why, and what, this week puts back into motion.

Hello and welcome to the horoscope Vault, a podcast that
explores the world through the lens of astrology in order to
give you an alternative point ofview and to support you through
life's surprising ups and downs and help you in making more
informed decisions as best possible.

(00:20):
I'm Charlie, an associate memberof the American Federation of
Astrologers and Astrology. Reader for radio is the Bob and
Sherry show in this episode is the week ahead from Monday,
November 24th, where this week is very materialistic in some
way or another. It's materials that are related

(00:41):
to power. It's materialism in love and not
just materialism. It's the development of self
worth. It's the need to trust in and
believe in yourself more. This is the week you receive a
message or an offer that's financially meaningful, or some
kind of deep conversation that happens around money, boundaries

(01:05):
and even intimacy that repairs something.
It's the week that someone you know brings some support or that
a business idea of some sort opens a door.
It's the week of finalising A commitment to something, fixing
a problem that's been stalled legally or financially, and
issues that were born of an obvious error now get resolved.

(01:31):
This is the astrology of your week.
Listen on to find out more. The week is full of plenty of
Venus aspects, and the planet Venus symbolically is all about

(01:52):
money, food, self worth, and relationships in general.
It's about agreement, it's aboutbalance, it's about material
resources, and the material resources in astrology are as
necessary as they are in life because you need food to live,
you need finances, you need a roof over your head.

(02:16):
Now, with all of its symbolism, material, love and otherwise,
Venus is a benefic planet. It's full of benefits.
It's the smaller, more immediatebenefits of life that come under
the Venus rulership, whereas thekind of longer, more far
reaching benefits come under therulership of Jupiter.

(02:38):
And this week is full of Venus aspects.
Around 4 out of the seven days do involve Venus transit aspect
with another planet as it moves through Scorpio.
Now Venus in Scorpio is already in a tricky place because one of
the signs connected to Venus is the sign of Taurus, and Scorpio

(03:03):
is the sign opposite Taurus. So if you close your eyes for a
second and you imagine that Taurus is over here on one side
of the wheel, and then exactly 180° opposite is Scorpio,
absolutely, completely the most opposite that you can get.
So when Venus, that is the rulerof Taurus, is all the way over

(03:24):
there, opposite in Scorpio, it is so so far away from its home.
And symbolically, Venus represents harmony, ease,
pleasure, connection, stability,beauty, love.
Venus is essentially pleasant and then Scorpio demands

(03:47):
intensity and depth and merging and transformation.
So if all of those Venus things of harmony and pleasure are in
an uncomfortable position far away from home, then so is those
experiences of harmony and pleasure in life.
So Venus in Scorpio becomes thishigh stakes kind of all or

(04:12):
nothing situation. Venus in Scorpio is considered
in detriment because of this position being far away from
home. So it means that relationships
and values and finances operate through the depth and the
honesty and the intensity of Scorpio.
So this detriment overly intenseuncomfortable Scorpio Venus

(04:39):
receives conjunction from a retrograding Mercury, which is
also in Scorpio on Monday. And a conjunction is just that
they are in the same degree of the same sign at the same time.
So they're connected side by side, they're hand in hand.
It's literally there's two become one kind of combining.

(05:02):
So Mercury in Scorpio is deep investigative, strategic and
truth seeking. And while retrograde, all of
that is inwards. So a truth, a detail, a
financial matter or a relationship pattern or some
kind of pattern resurfaces so that it can be clarified, so

(05:25):
that it can be repaired. And Monday is when a response or
resolution becomes available. This is like old information
meeting current clarity. And this Venus Mercury
retrograde conjunction happens at the 22nd degree of Scorpio.

(05:46):
So this is a very final thing. It's very final in that if
harmony isn't achieved soon to do with an ongoing relationship
or financial problem, if a correction isn't made, then
there's a risk. And given that Venus wants

(06:07):
things to be balanced, then a solution or resolution could
really very much occur on Monday.
And given that there's a lot of detriment in this conjunction
with Venus in an uncomfortable place, and then the intensity of
the 22nd degree, where the 22nd degree is known as the kill or

(06:28):
be killed degree, 22° of any andevery sign is known as that.
And that's the very over the top, almost Vedic presentation
of astrology. The 22nd degree is less about
danger, it's more just about decisive transformation.
And so in this case, with Venus retrograde, Mercury conjunct

(06:54):
this particular 22nd degree of Scorpio is about choosing to
adapt to others ideas. So this is basically saying that
in order to survive a situation right now, you might have to
align with what someone else wants.
You might have to say what someone else wants to hear in
order to save yourself, even if saying that thing isn't really

(07:19):
how you feel. So Monday and Tuesday is about
strategically aligning with the powers above the powers that be
in order to keep yourself in a stable position.
Wednesday is the next Venus aspect.
Venus in detriment still in Scorpio.
It makes a trine to Jupiter, which is retrograde in Cancer,

(07:41):
and this can still be a pleasantaspect.
Even though Venus is still in detriment in Scorpio, it's the
trine to Jupiter in Cancer, evenif that position is retrograde,
that softens and elevates Venus dramatically.
And this is because Jupiter in Cancer is exalted.

(08:03):
It is very, very strong, and theaspect of the trine is what
creates effortless beneficial flow.
It's that triangle. The retrograde Jupiter brings
the return or the reopening of something, or quite literally,
it brings a second chance. And both Venus and Jupiter are

(08:25):
in water signs, meaning emotional or financial support
flows much more easily. So Venus is operating, yes, from
this challenged sign of Scorpio,but it's receiving help from the
strongest Jupiter sign possible.So this creates a positive
turning point, even if the situation has complexity or

(08:48):
emotional heaviness, which meansWednesday is about taking a
second chance that you have and making a better situation of it.
It's a second chance that only works if you actively improve
the situation. So you must choose growth over
comfort. You must upgrade the situation

(09:09):
and not repeat the old patterns.You can't just rely on the
benefits of Jupiter and Cancer alone.
You need to demonstrate the maturity and the commitment.
So it's suggesting that this week if someone offers you
another opportunity, then take it and deliver better, cleaner,

(09:29):
more focused work. Or if a relationship opens back
up, then communicate more honestly or set the boundary
that you avoided setting. If a financial door reopens,
then handle the structure by budgeting and repaying and
dealing with paperwork, especially if those are things
that you previously skipped. And if a personal habit resets,

(09:54):
do the harder, more mature thingof sticking to it instead of
sliding back into ease. Wednesday is a day to show
yourself that you've grown. And the support comes in two
parts because on the same day, Wednesday, Venus in its

(10:15):
detriment of Scorpio also makes a trine to Saturn 2 and Saturn
is getting ready to turn direct.So this Venus trine Saturn again
with the Venus still in detriment.
This is where you prepare to prove to yourself and maybe a

(10:35):
little bit to others that you won't repeat the old pattern.
You prove to yourself or others that you are going to make a
change. And I really want to focus more
on proving to yourself more thananything else or anyone else
that you are not going to waste an opportunity by getting too
comfortable again, because this aspect is not a coast and see

(10:59):
what happens kind of transit. It's a step up and do the
correct thing this time round, kind of transit.
Wednesday is a chance to define the boundary, to commit to the
responsibility to repair something properly, to set the
structure that was missing last time, and to put a plan into

(11:22):
action where maybe even I would say that Wednesday is make the
plan, maybe sit down and make a new plan in a more focused way.
Because then Thursday, November 27th is when Saturn turns direct
in Pisces and Saturn turning direct in Pisces ends a Saturn

(11:47):
retrograde that has been going since mid-july.
And it doesn't bring any drama, it just creates something much
more meaningful. It's like Thursday is the moment
that you feel something shift from feeling not so sure to now
you know exactly what you need to do next.

(12:08):
The last few months may have felt slow, reflective and foggy
because Saturn retrograding in Pisces had the goal of
dissolving all kinds of clarity and blurring your vision so that
there was little to no transparency.
And then, as it moves direct on Thursday, decisions start to

(12:28):
feel more straightforward. Your life direction starts to
feel more grounded. Saturn has been retrograde since
July of 2025 and where it's beenloosening anything that wasn't
aligned with your truth. Old habits came back.
Old jobs, old bosses, old copinghabits, and none of those old

(12:52):
things have given you the same comfort that they once did.
So it might be that these past few months were you retracing
your steps, letting boundaries slide simply because you had
become tired. And it's like the threads that
you've been holding together forthose months over the summer

(13:16):
have really unravelled by this point.
And that is for the purpose of showing you where you've been
stretched too thin. So you might have noticed that
certain relationships require more honest conversations, and
maybe you put those conversations off.

(13:37):
You may have noticed that your desires have lacked direction.
You may have noticed that the difference between doing and
pursuing things that lift your energy versus the things that
leave you feeling empty is in this contrast with much more
time spent in those empty spaces.

(13:57):
Saturn retrograde in Pisces is and was an internal struggle
with habits or behaviours that you have used as coping
mechanisms and it's a deeper awareness now of the gaps in
yourself, care and self love space.

(14:19):
So on Thursday, put aside some time to sit in your own space
and then go through these 6 reflection points #1 admit what
isn't working anymore. If there is something that
stresses you and drains you and has been repeatedly doing so,

(14:40):
stop pretending it's OK. This is the moment to be honest
with yourself and choose a better way forward.
Reflection point #2 Take responsibility for what actually
belongs to you. You don't have to do everything
for everyone. Focus on the tasks and the

(15:02):
commitments that genuinely help you grow, and then let go of the
ones that you've been carrying out of guilt or pressure.
Reflection point #3 Do the thingthat you promised yourself you
would do. There is a goal that you set
earlier this year that you have slipped away from, and Saturn

(15:26):
turning direct on Thursday helpsyou get back on track.
Pick up that goal again and follow through.
Reflection point #4 Finish one thing that you've been avoiding.
A conversation, a chore, a task that you've put off.
Not the goal, but something a little bit more structural in

(15:47):
your life. Handle that task now, and you'll
feel lighter the moment it's done.
Reflection point #5 Decide what the word enough means for you.
Saturn is about deficiencies andabout dealing with limitations,
but limitation can be having just what is needed.

(16:11):
So make sure you understand whatenough means for you in terms of
enough sleep, enough effort, enough of saying yes, enough
structure, And then once you know your limits, you'll stop
pushing past them and you'll start living more effectively.
Reflection point #6 Build one small habit that supports your

(16:38):
future. So choose a simple routine,
choose a simple boundary that helps your emotional stability
and then stick with it. Saturn rewards anything that you
are willing to maintain over time.
This is a habit to repeat every day that has this aggregate

(17:03):
effect of improving your long term life.
And sit with those six reflection points on Thursday.
You'll be surprised at how much insight and Intel into yourself
and your next step that those give you.
And after Saturn's direct movement on that Thursday,
Mercury follows suit and moves direct on Saturday.

(17:25):
And this has to have been one ofthe most intense Mercury
retrograde. And that's because it started in
the sign of Sagittarius. So Mercury in Sagittarius is in
detriment. Mercury functions poorly in this
sign because it's scattered because it's less detailed
based. It's not that it's bad, it just

(17:47):
works differently and when in Sagittarius, Mercury loses some
of its careful fact focused nature.
Mercury in Sagittarius is gullible, and since it began its
retrograde in Sagittarius, it left the sign and retrograded
into Scorpio in the last week orso.

(18:08):
And so the direct motion as Mercury turns direct on Saturday
is actually at 20° of Scorpio, where the theme of that degree
is about approaching something from a different perspective.
So this is the kind of week where you will notice a new
perspective forming on somethingthat's been stuck.

(18:29):
But you do need to give it a moment to settle before you
express it or before you make a big decision based on it.
The clarity is coming, it just needs time to fully land.
So something that felt confusing, overwhelming,
emotionally tangled over the last few weeks will suddenly
make sense. So pay attention to the moment

(18:51):
where you realise, oh, that is what I wasn't seeing.
Because that realisation is yournew direction, insight that
comes to disrupt an old habit, an old thought loop, an odd
belief that you've been recycling and this is the moment
to rewrite how you approach it. The shift is not about doing

(19:17):
more, it's about doing somethingdifferently so that the pattern
doesn't return. And then the final aspect this
week, which is also on Saturday,Venus opposes Uranus.
And the 2 themes of this are Venus and the theme of
dissatisfaction, Uranus and the theme of finding the correct

(19:42):
collaboration or union. This opposition hints at a
moment of dissatisfaction that is purely for the purpose of
pushing you towards a connection, a choice, or a value
even, that actually fits you more than what you're currently.

(20:04):
Uncomfortably comfortable within, and I know that's a
tongue twister, but it's comfortable because it's
familiar, but it's uncomfortablebecause it's not authentic.
So Saturday pokes you. It's a dig.
It's a poke in the back where Venus opposite Uranus forces a

(20:25):
truth. And the truth is that you cannot
stay where you are and get what you want and deserve.
So this opposition brings a joltor a disruption, and it shows
you where something is out of alignment fully, but it also
shows you where something more true is trying to come in.

(20:49):
It's a big conclusion point thisweekend and will look very
different for each Zodiac sign. And with that being said, the
individual sign horoscopes are due to be published next.
Stay tuned and make sure you're following the show to get your
weekly outlook tomorrow morning.And until then, bye.
