Sunday, November 9th is a week coming up that is worth
preparing for. Two retrogrades happened this
week, both with different meanings, both slightly
incompatible, and both with explicit presentations that you
should know. Welcome to The Horoscope Vault,
a podcast that explores the world through the lens of
(00:22):
astrology with a view to supporting you through life's
ups and downs and help you in making more confident decisions
through each chapter. I'm Charlie, an associate member
of the American Federation of Astrologers and Astrology,
reader for radio's Hall of Fame,The Bob and Sherry Show.
And this episode looks at the week ahead beginning November
(00:44):
the 9th, where some reversals are quite clearly in play.
So listening to find out more. Sunday 9th of November brings
the final Mercury retrograde of 2025 and as usual it brings the
(01:05):
expected technological disruptions and
miscommunications. But beneath the surface, this
retrograde carries a much biggerchallenge to do with what you
believe. Mercury in Sagittarius isn't the
strongest of planet sign combinations in the 1st place
and the term essential dignity in astrology is the term used to
(01:28):
describe how strong or how comfortable a planet is within a
particular sign. So Mercury functions best in
signs that value detail, especially small details and
specific details. It's the little bits and pieces
that add up to the larger whole.Mercury symbolises things being
(01:50):
dialled down in order to be dialled in.
Gemini and Virgo are the naturalhomes for Mercury.
This is where Mercury thrives and accuracy is very easy.
The sign Sagittarius, however, is ruled by Jupiter, which is a
planet driven by expansion, growth and far reaching
horizons. It's all about the bigger
(02:11):
picture. So imagine that Mercury, but
it's pinpointed detail loving energy with Mercury moving
through Sagittarius. It's this trade off.
It's the finite precision of Mercury versus the wide, broad
perspective of Sagittarius. So while there can be a lot of
big ideas, those ideas are not always easy to ground in
(02:31):
practical or factual detail during this time.
Then throw a retrograde into themix and you've got gullibility.
You've got believing things without doing research.
And the tough part of that is that you may actually do some
research and not realize the bias behind it.
And so this is a time where information and wisdom go head
(02:53):
to head and they're not blendingvery well.
It's this challenge that information does not mean
wisdom, experience does. And Mercury starts its
retrograde at 6° and 51 minutes of Sagittarius, meaning that if
you have a birthday between the 21st of February and the 1st of
March, the 23rd to the 31st of May, the 25th of August to the
(03:19):
3rd of September, and the 23rd of November to the 2nd of
December, this is super potent for you.
And that's because Mercury oscillating at the 6th degree of
Sagittarius in a very demanding way.
It directly impacts your son placement if you have any one of
(03:42):
those birthdays. And so the lessons are extra,
extra personal about you being careful of what you believe
about you being thoughtful with what you say about being extra
specific and conscious about choosing to learn lessons
electively so that the universe doesn't pick at random just some
(04:03):
kind of lesson to throw your way.
And the 6th degree of Sagittarius at its core with its
lesson is about working in collaboration.
But it's not just any kind of collaboration.
You must choose your collaborators wisely.
It's natural instinct to includeothers and to want to be
(04:23):
included. But this very same instinct can
scatter focus. It can drain your energy if you
bring in or if you collaborate with or you believe the wrong
people. So before believing anything
anyone says, pause and assess. Is what this person is saying
(04:45):
bringing me clarity or confusion?
Pause and go back and look up the other side of whatever it is
you're learning, believing, reading, and absorbing.
I never thought I'd say this, but this is the time to really
use Reddit for opinions on products people have used for
(05:07):
all kinds of opinions and reallyget alternative perspectives on
the things that you take in. Be careful who you trust, don't
blindly trust someone just because.
Inclusion is definitely a strength, but discernment should
be your filter and this Mercury retrograde is going to force you
(05:27):
in some way to use both. So the Mercury rich grade in
Sagittarius beginning on Sunday the 9th lasts until November the
29th and that's where it ends inthe sign of Scorpio at the 20th
degree. So its impact also effects any
late degree Scorpios too. And that's you if you are born
(05:49):
the 8th to the 21st of November.And the degree that it ends in
is a degree of dedication to information handling.
So by the end, you will be much,much better at honouring your
own way of thinking, even if it's unusual.
(06:10):
You'll be better at staying committed to your process until
clarity arise, instead of rushing to find the answers or
the result. Actually, there is a big, big
lesson in patience during this retrograde in not acting on info
before you're absolutely sure. And I'm in the middle of
preparing an upcoming webinar, alive webinar to join in on
(06:33):
learning your own certainty factors, your certainty
indicators, and how to use astrology to literally make your
best decisions. This is a perfect educational
webinar during the Mercury retrograde to learn how you can
make the most correct decisions for yourself and learn
(06:55):
confidence in how to use that repeatedly.
So keep an eye out for the release of the limited ticket
for that webinar in the next week.
That will be a live session, so we'll all hop on as a group,
jump on a Zoom call and learn how to use your astrology and
human design charts to know yourindicators of decision making
(07:18):
certainties. But in general, this retrograde
could very well be things like the Wi-Fi dropping, and it's not
occasionally dropping, It's likeall of all of the time.
Like your phone is from a different planet and it's text
messages and e-mail misunderstandings that cause
friction. It's your phone auto correcting
(07:38):
and changing a word in a text message that changes the meaning
so significantly it can be embarrassing.
It's calendar reminders that arenot syncing correctly.
It's your GPS sending you to thewrong place.
It's traffic delays, missed turns, airline glitches, car
transport issues that happen right before leaving at the last
(08:01):
worst most possible minutes. It's lost packages or delayed
packages in the mail. It's details with paperwork
where you find some form that you submitted gets rejected or
it needs to be signed again. It's a payment delay, it's a
duplicate charge, it's a contract or invoice confusion.
It's these schedule overlaps or double bookings and it's
(08:25):
documents that are important buthave all the wrong information
on them. It's a mess and it's frustrating
and it's kind of out of your hands.
And really the best thing to do during this time is to just slow
down and double, triple check everything.
Read something again and again before you hit send.
(08:46):
Confirm the times and dates and addresses twice.
Keep screenshots and paper copies of anything important.
Don't rely on digital calendars,especially for travel plans.
Don't rely on digital contract exchanges.
Be careful with your appointments.
Double check those and just build the extra time into your
(09:07):
schedule and expect plans to change.
Now, when it comes to beliefs, be careful what you believe,
which is a generalized comment anyway.
That's good all of the time, butright now it's particularly
important. Mercury retrograde in
Sagittarius means that information can sound very
(09:27):
convincing, but it lacks substance.
There might be people who speak with authority, but their facts
are shaky. There are headlines and rumours
and viral posts that spread faster than the truth.
And you might also realize that something you've been sure about
isn't quite accurate. Something that sounds wise in
(09:51):
the moment could later prove exaggerated or misleading.
Reviews are falsified, and you need to research both sides of
something before deciding. And that's the best way to stay
discerning without avoiding making choices altogether.
And while every sign feels this Mercury slow down, especially
(10:13):
this one being detriment in the sign, it's going to be the
mutable signs that experience itthe most directly.
So Sagittarius, the changes to your life direction, the way you
share your ideas, the way you express your truth, what you
believe and what you read, and matters of the law really impact
you. This is adjusting your entire
(10:37):
existence and your physical bodyand you must be careful of
believing things just because someone holds credentials and
make sure you double, triple check anything that's kind of
sketchy. There's challenging time for
Gemini. It comes up in your
relationships and your contracts.
These patterns require review for Virgo.
This time is bringing changes around home and family and your
(10:59):
long term goals. You'll be thinking more about
where you live, and maybe this might be to do with any
involvement in real estate or so.
And then Pisces, you're navigating a change in the
balance of your career and public image versus your home
life and your health. This is tied to knowledge and
what you choose to learn and listen to, who that information
(11:21):
is coming from, and it's what orwho you ignore and choose not to
learn from or listen to because maybe you're ignoring the people
who are best able to help. It is a particularly tough time
for those mentioned signs and for everybody in general.
(11:44):
Good luck and slow down. The next retrograde of the week
starts on Tuesday, November 11th.
This is Jupiter retrograde in Cancer.
Jupiter in Cancer is the best transit of this year.
Jupiter in Cancer is exalted. So going back to that essential
dignity theme, if you pair cancer's nature of nurture, you
(12:07):
know how the sign of Cancer is all about security and then
Jupiter's expansive nature. Then you get a time of expanding
comfort, safety, and emotional security with an injection of
prosperity, and that is always going to be good.
Jupiter in Cancer is about growing all of the things that
(12:28):
help you feel at home, your sense of belonging, the
structures that make your life feel secure.
This is about those structures being abundant in a positive
way. So it's the ultimate safe growth
energy. And during this time you gain
(12:48):
more luck in life when you prioritize protection and care
and nourishment rather than taking risks or falling into the
trap of chasing excess. So when Jupiter goes retrograde
in the sign of Cancer, then the external growth has to turn
inward. So now you need to look at what
(13:11):
it is, the details of what trulysupports you and question what
security means, what security looks like for you.
And then re evaluate the things that you're doing for your
comfort and your safety and yournourishment and determining
whether they fit you still or whether you've outgrown them.
(13:33):
Outgrowing your current living situation, outgrowing your diet,
outgrowing your comfort zone is all normal.
That is what growth is about. And so now it's about looking
back over the places you've lived, the life you lead, the
habits you follow to keep yourself safe and housed and
financially secure and nutritionally and emotionally
(13:57):
fulfilled. Jupiter retrograding Cancer asks
you to check whether those systems still serve you or if
they've quietly started to limityour growth.
And my bet is that one or more of those things, family, food,
home, emotional management, havegotten out of hand or fallen off
(14:21):
track. Maybe you've been clinging to an
old routine. Maybe you've been comfort
eating, or maybe you've lost your appetite.
Maybe a relationship dynamic that once was strong is now less
so. Maybe there are changes in your
neighborhood that feel a bit iffy.
(14:43):
Maybe the things that once made you feel safe are not so safe,
and that is simply for you to beable to improve them.
The degree of Jupiter's retrograde starts at 25° of
Cancer, which means metamorphosis through
discipline. So this is the disciplined
version of transformation, and it's very much like the moon,
(15:03):
and the moon rules Cancer. So think of yourself as if
you're the moon and you're moving through these internal
phases like growing quietly and the ebb and the flow of the moon
phases, and you are refining andrefining and refining only to be
able to show yourself as a fullylit full moon when the cycle of
(15:29):
change and discipline is complete.
So Jupiter's retrograde starts on Tuesday, November 11th and it
ends next year. That's a while away in March of
2026. It finishes at the 15th degree
of Cancer. And that is the degree of
troubleshooting. So there is no doubt that this
(15:51):
is a period of repairing what has been unstable within your
own foundations. Family themes or family problems
resurface, and these are not things to be fixed necessarily,
but to maybe be more understood and accepted.
It's recognizing where old emotional habits or inherited
(16:12):
patterns will shape how you behave and deciding to protect
yourself by letting go of the things that you've inherited
that you didn't want to inherit the habits from family that
you've on boarded. And you repeat and you repeat
and you repeat that you don't want to repeat.
(16:35):
By reworking this in a structure, you create steadier
ground for the future and you don't continue generational
patterns. This is a generational curse or
generational pattern breaking retrograde and for the duration
of the retrograde, the four months from November 11th till
March 2026. This is not about chasing more,
(16:58):
it's about strengthening what's already good.
It's about realigning your support and discovering the
changes you need to make, the smaller details.
And this Jupiter retrograding Cancer helps you build deeper
roots for the long term. Get this right this time round
(17:19):
and you'll find yourself with a secure foundation and home base
and diet and very supportive baseline for the next 12 years.
But if you avoid focusing on andaccepting these things,
reworking these things for your foundation, then you will have
(17:42):
that very level of instability for the next 12 years.
So see this as you having the chance to lock in security.
Use this retrograde to seal the cracks.
Think of it like reinforcing your foundation, stabilizing the
areas that keep your life running smoothly.
Your home base, your finances, your emotional health, your food
(18:08):
and daily nourishment, and your sense of belonging.
So here's a few practical ways to make the most of this Jupiter
retrograde in cancer #1 audit your foundations.
Literally Review your living space, your finances, your diet,
your routines. Ask yourself what actually
supports you now versus what once used to support you.
(18:31):
And then remove what is ever outdated or emotionally draining
or heavy #2 strength and emotional security.
Build inner steadiness through constant habits like journaling,
mindfulness or therapy. Do the things that help you
focus on responding rather than reacting to create emotional
(18:52):
safety #3 Rebuild your home base.
Bring some order and comfort into your physical environment.
Organise, clean. Set up a regular weekly cleaning
schedule. Repair things in the home.
A stable home base mirrors internal stability #4 nourish
(19:14):
yourself. Revisit your diet, revisit
yourself. Care patterns.
Choose the correct foods that support the activities you
partake in. And also this applies to people.
Choose people that genuinely replenish you instead of just
comforting you or draining you #5 revisit and repair your
(19:37):
emotional foundations from family.
This is reflecting on the familypatterns and the learned
behaviours that still influence your reactions.
Are you like your parents or your siblings in any way?
Are those similarities positive or do they 'cause you trouble?
Are you on the path to living a similar repeating life as your
(20:01):
parents or grandparents? And are you OK with that?
Number six, rebuild from self-awareness, not survival.
Strengthen your inner structure.Set new emotional and living
standards for yourself. Do not stick to tradition.
This retrograde asks you to end those cycles that don't belong
(20:22):
to you and to create stability rooted in conscious choice, not
old conditioning. The last aspect of the week that
is up for discussion is this Mercury retrograde from Sunday
making a conjunction with Mars in Sagittarius.
Most of the rest of the week is Moon based, so this is the final
(20:43):
cosmic aspect to be mindful of with the bigger moving planet.
And it happens on Wednesday. And it's pretty intense
actually. Anything conjunct Mars is
intense. Anything with Mars is intense.
I guess you can boil that down to saying Mars is intense.
(21:04):
So on Wednesday this could be anargument and you might already
know. You might already have a sense
of what this argument might be about or who this argument might
be with. Something that you have said and
thought and or acted on over thelast week or the last few days
develops and it results in one of two head to heads before the
(21:28):
year is out. This time around the head to
head might not be as direct as it could be and the next time
this head to head happens and comes with a conclusion will be
in January of 2026. Mercury is retrograde, so this
might be more like some sly digs, some sly words, some
(21:48):
sarcasm and some passive aggressiveness even.
But I think you already know thetheme, and I think you probably
know where this is going to showup and who with.
This is argumentative and irritable energy on Wednesday.
It is positively good for a genuine debate, a debate that
(22:11):
could actually lead somewhere productive.
But it is a time that is best tokeep your plans flexible.
Circumstances are likely to change based on a brewing
disagreement, and that change iscoming soon.
And as with any tough Mars aspect, please be careful while
driving. Please be careful while handling
(22:33):
sharp objects or doing anything dangerously risky.
This combination can point to things like cuts and slices, and
driving fast could result in a speeding ticket or some other
kind of uncomfortable inconvenient traffic stop or
traffic situation, so that is worth being mindful of.
(22:55):
On Wednesday I'll be releasing the Wellness episode with access
to All and then Thursday will bethe warm up to the weekend
horoscopes which are exclusivelyfor Horoscope Bulb monthly tier
subscribers. And so with that being said,
here are your weekly horoscopes and each one is time stamped
below for your convenience. This week for Aries, some travel
(23:24):
plans that you have coming up, they get messy.
There are some changes. If you are travelling, there are
missing bags, there are delays. Or if you're trying to plan
maybe some future travel, it seems like that's really
difficult to pinpoint. Maybe you can't get the time off
work. There is something going on to
(23:45):
interrupt any present or future travel plans.
If you are in education or considering education, then you
might sign up for something and realize you signed up for the
wrong course or maybe there's a test that needs retaking.
This is also the week you might start rethinking where you want
(24:05):
to live or who you want to live with.
And if you have any home projects going on, They drag on
longer than expected, but actually they turn out to save
you money in the end. This is also a week of family
conversations about space, aboutprivacy, and about plans for the
future. And these are not new
conversations. These are conversations you've
(24:26):
already had resurfacing. The heated argument or difficult
debate type of energy for you this week might be over opinions
where you are forced by somebodyelse's action to make a bold
move. So maybe you go ahead and book
that travel plan anyway, even though your time off hasn't been
(24:48):
okayed. Maybe you act on an idea or some
thoughts and an opinion that have been sitting in your notes
that you've written down and didn't know when to act upon.
This is the week that you revealsome truth.
You share some truth. You say your opinion
irrespective of who it ticks offbecause you know that it's the
(25:13):
right thing to do. Make sure to check the reading
for your rising sign too. If you don't know what your
rising sign is, use the calculator and the show notes
below to find out. The Taurus Sun and Taurus rising
this week. A bill, a tax or joint account
issue can come up and it needs very quick sorting.
(25:35):
Maybe somebody owes you money, or you realize that you've
overpaid somewhere and that needs balancing out.
Or there could be a private topic with a partner or a friend
that finally gets discussed. Travel plans.
A local travel plan, whether it's your immediate commute or a
short trip that you are planningon taking or that you are
already on, goes through some rearrangements.
(26:00):
Maybe there's a rescheduling issue.
Maybe some part of the trip falls through.
This is also a week where you'rerethinking how to stay in touch
with people you really want to stay in touch with, and then
muting the group chats and theirprivate messages that you don't
really want to hear from right now.
(26:21):
Some communication with a familymember or a sibling feels like
it might be a second chance, butbe cautious because some things
might be veiled within that second chance.
The biggest tension this week with Mercury conjunct Mars is
going to be the discovery of a hidden fee where you need to
make a fast decision about an expense.
(26:44):
There is an action to take on a debt or some kind of financial
cleanup or a sale and conversations happen about that
this week in private and they can feel a little bit stressful.
To get more out of your horoscope, make sure to listen
to the horoscope for your risingsign too.
If you don't know what your rising sign is, use the
calculator below to find out. This week for Gemini, a past
(27:10):
relationship or maybe an old client or something like that.
Somebody pops back into your life or there's an agreement or
contract that needs to be written because just going
through verbal agreements has led to some kind of
misunderstanding. So this is the week where you
and somebody else may disagree or even argue over something
(27:32):
small, but it's become bigger because it's been building for
weeks. The Jupiter retrograde asks you
to think about or to rethink about what's worth your energy
when it comes to how you earn your money.
And this might be initiated by the fact that a paycheck or a
payment that you are owed takes a lot longer to come through
(27:54):
than it should. This also helps you realise some
spending habits that might need adjusting before the year's end.
The tension this week, the Mercury conjunct Mars tension is
with a partner or a Co worker where that thing finally boils
over in order to get cleared andyou make a quick choice about a
(28:15):
collaboration, which might actually mean walking away from
someone. There's a conversation that's
been avoided this week. It becomes unavoidable.
Expect that around Wednesday andto get more from your horoscope.
Make sure to listen to the horoscope for your rising sign
too. If you don't know what that is,
use a calculator in the show notes below to find out.
(28:40):
This week for Cancer and Cancer rising, your work schedule is
kind of flipped on its head. Or there are some last minute
changes. Or there are some really gnarly
tech issues at work that seem toonly ever happen on your shift.
This is also the week to check out your health routines and
supplementation program. Something you're eating,
(29:02):
something you're taking, might not be right anymore.
Maybe it needs some tweaking. And once you've handled the work
stress and you've revamped your health routine to make sure your
body is supported, you find yourself back interested in a
project that you've always been interested in, but maybe never
(29:23):
quite had the time or the space or capacity to go fully into.
So you end up redoing a project or revisiting an idea.
This week, Gypsy going retrograde in your sign is a
huge punctuated question mark regarding the path that you're
on. This is the time to question
(29:45):
whether the direction you're going in still fits who you are
becoming, who you want to become.
And this is the right time for you to pull back from taking on
too much where you do so much tofeel productive.
This is the time to pull back from helping people when you see
things can be corrected and redirecting that correction and
(30:09):
that helpful energy into yourself.
It's a time to adjust your goals, and those goals must
match your energy, not the otherway round.
Not trying to match your energy to your goals.
Think about the energy with which you want to live life and
then choose your next step. Choose your goals to match your
(30:33):
preferred output. The tension this week with
Mercury retrograde conjunct Mars.
You're getting fired up about fixing something at work or
within your work. This is fixing a broken system.
This is fixing something that isunfair in terms of treatment.
(30:53):
Somebody's lauding some power orsomebody's being treated
incorrectly or there's some kindof just BS going on.
Maybe a Co worker is pushing your buttons.
They have been pushing your buttons for some time now with
the incorrect authoritative behaviour and this is the week
you finally speak up. And once the air is cleared,
(31:17):
once your opinion is shared, it is correct for you to make a
sudden health change. Join the gym if you don't
already. Go create a new workout plan
from home. Add the supplement you know you
need to supplement with. Obviously, make sure you get
your blood work checked first tomake sure that's correct for you
and adjust your food choices. And to get the most out of this
(31:39):
reading, make sure to listen to the reading for your rising sign
too. If you don't know what your
rising sign is, use the calculator in the show notes
below to find out. This week for Leo, a creative
project hits a snag. Your creativity hits a snag.
Maybe this is a creative block. You can use systems and tools, a
(32:03):
great thing, a great book. A workbook called The Artist's
Way is incredibly helpful for when you hit that kind of
creative blockage. Or you can pick back up on an
old hobby or an old talent that you haven't been given enough
time to, and that helps spark creativity too.
(32:24):
This is also the week where you receive mixed signals in dating
or text messages that lead to this whole question where you
say, wait, what? What exactly do you mean
somebody else isn't being clear and it's having emotional
relational impact on you. And with Jupiter going
retrograde in your 12th house, this is the perfect time for you
(32:44):
to pull back from the noise. Less doom scrolling, more sleep
more, and with Juve to go and retrograde in your 12th house,
this is the perfect time for youto pull back from the noise.
There is too much confusing stuff going on, so spend less
time scrolling, especially doom scrolling.
Spend more time sleeping, spend more time alone, resting.
(33:06):
And you will be forced to do this if you don't do it
electively, because old stress, old worries, or signs of burnout
will resurface if you let it getthat far.
This may be urging you to try therapy, or to try journaling,
or to let yourself have a real break.
(33:27):
This is the next four months of you quietly ending a draining
habit or a commitment so that you can heal and recharge.
The tension with Mercury's retrograde conjunction with Mars
is in a romantic situation. There is passionate and
argumentative energy, both existin this relationship and so if
(33:52):
there are difficulties there, then maybe it's time to throw
yourself into a creative idea. One of those things where you
stay up all night with all the inspiration, finishing something
that feels so rewarding or a romantic conversation gets very,
very heated. Make sure to try your best to
keep it fun, knowing that it's for the purpose of clearing the
(34:13):
air and to get more from your horoscope.
This week, make sure to listen to the reading for your rising
sign, too. If you don't know what your
rising sign is, use the calculator in the show notes
below to find out. This week for Fargo, the focus
is on some home repairs or appliance issues.
(34:36):
Either or both of those can interrupt your piece.
You'll be going through old boxes.
You'll be looking at old furniture.
You'll be rethinking about what it is in your home that feels
like it belongs in your home. There's also the potential that
parents or family members bring something up from the past this
week as an old matter or topic of conversation resurfaces.
(35:01):
Jupiter's retrograde could mean that it's a great week for you
to call upon a friend to come and help you out.
Either a friend is happy to do you a favour or just happy to
enjoy the reviewing and the renovating of your home with
you. Jupiter going retrograde could
also signify that your group commitments that have been
(35:24):
taking your time, maybe taking up a lot of your time, begin to
slow down, giving you back some freedom.
Or you electively pull back fromsocial commitments and this
gives you time to figure out what actually inspires you
before you re engage. The Mercury retrograde conjunct
Mars tension is specifically with a home project.
(35:47):
If there is a project that you rush too fast that you lose
patience with and you're not dealing with the delays very
well, if you rush this project it could be a lot worse than the
feeling of waiting to get it right when it comes to moving or
redecorating or claiming your own space.
(36:09):
Try not to rush this week because the next three weeks
will blow past quickly and if you can wait that time, then it
will be done so perfectly that it never has to be redone again.
And to get more context with your weekly horoscope, make sure
to listen to the horoscope for your rising sign too.
If you don't know what your rising sign is, then use the
(36:29):
calculator in the show notes below to find out.
This week for Libra Sun and Libra rising.
Your phone, your laptop or your car?
One of the above, or maybe or three if you are particularly
unlucky this week. Those things act up and they
happen to crash or go wrong right when you need them the
(36:53):
most. And if it's not your electronics
letting you down, then a text message gets misread or it
doesn't send, or you send a message to the wrong person and
it causes disruption and confusion.
There may also be a situation where you are heading somewhere
that you don't want to be seen going and you run into someone
(37:15):
unexpectedly. The Jupiter retrograde is really
focusing around your career direction.
Your career is going to feel blurry for the next four months
because something big is shifting behind the scenes.
There is a boss or an authority figure that is making you
rethink your long term path. And so for the next few months,
you might pull back gently just to make sure that you are
(37:38):
defining success on your own terms, not somebody else's.
The tension this week was Mercury conjunct Mars is going
to be a conversation that ends up in a debate.
So make sure you choose your words carefully.
You speak up publicly about something you've been quiet on
and somebody else confronts you about that.
(37:59):
Also, be careful with things like driving.
If you drive somewhere in a rush, you may hit unexpected
delays or just have a very bad time of the journey.
To get more context for your reading this week, make sure to
listen to the reading for your rising sign 2.
If you don't know what your rising sign is, use a calculator
in the show notes below to find out.
(38:23):
This week for Scorpio Sun and Scorpio rising Mercury going
retrograde in your second house means that payments you are owed
might get delayed, or the totalsdon't add up, or the payments
that you make don't add up or they are delayed.
So make sure you check your statements, double check all
payments and look for maybe a better way to handle expenses if
(38:47):
these things are more regularly going wrong.
This could also be the week thatsomething you earn breaks and
you decide that it's time to notjust repair it, but fully go
ahead and replace it this time around with the addition of
Jupiter moving retrograde travelplans, legal plans, educational
(39:09):
plans or anything audio based stalls.
But in its stalling it teaches you patience.
If you're involved in any kind of publishing, studying or
licensing, then the reason or the purpose for this slowing
down is in order to let you master the details further.
This is also the week you question a belief, you question
(39:30):
a teacher, you question something or someone that you
once followed blindly. But the real biggest tension,
especially with Mercury retrograde making its
conjunction to Mars in your second house, is still around
purchases and money. So if you do go ahead and decide
very quickly on a fast purchase or investment, it may be too
(39:53):
fast. So while something may break and
it does need repair, the best idea is to wait three weeks
before dropping that money on the new thing.
This is also a time to start thinking about whether you
should request a pay increase. You know, maybe it's time to
negotiate your pay or your pricepoint with more confidence and
(40:15):
make sure that you stand firm onwhat you're worth.
Don't discount your skills and your time.
And to get more from your horoscope reading this week,
make sure to listen to the horoscope for your rising sign
too. If you don't know what that is
then use the calculator in the show notes below to find out.
(40:35):
This week for Sagittarius Sun and Sagittarius rising.
Mercury's retrograde is very personal for you because it is
in your sign. Your time management is non
existent. You may mix up appointments.
You may forget something important.
You feel misunderstood. What you say doesn't say what
(40:56):
you mean, and you find yourself feeling like you need to
rephrase your messaging. A personal project slows down,
life slows down, and everything feels a little bit rough around
the edges. This is all for the purpose of
smoothing things out because youwon't have another retrograde in
your sign, a Mercury retrograde in your sign until the year
(41:20):
2030. So this is the first point in
smoothing your life, refining your life a little bit more,
where you're going, what you're doing, the details of what you
think, say and believe. Refining those things now will
give you the smoothest journey over the next five years.
(41:41):
Jupiter's retrograde does bring up issues tied to money that is
tied to others. This is not necessarily your
money, your income. This is Money that other people
make that somehow you have access to loans, taxes, or
shared bills. They need attention, and there
could be some trust or intimacy issues around money that forces
(42:04):
an honest talk. You may feel the need to pull
back from codependent dynamics, You may want to feel more
independent, but this involves being honest about the skills
that everybody brings to the table.
If there is a period in your life where somebody else is the
main breadwinner, then that's something you may need to find a
(42:27):
way to enjoy. And as long as people aren't
siphoning money from you in, youknow, a very dodgy way, then let
yourself step back. The real tension this week was
Mercury's retrograde conjunct Mars happening in your sign is
that you may say something around Wednesday that you can't
(42:51):
take back. You may make a bold personal
move, like changing your look drastically overnight, changing
your life plans, and you can't take it back.
This might come because somebodyelse challenges you, and if you
handle it with impulsiveness, anirreversible action may be
(43:15):
taken. But if you handle it with
directness, with the view to trying to learn what it is
someone is challenging you about, why they are challenging
you, and what it can teach you, then growth is the result.
And you can get more context on your weekly reading by listening
to the reading for your rising sign too.
(43:36):
If you don't know what that is, then use the calculator in the
show notes below to find out. This week for Capricorn Sun and
Capricorn rising. If you are taking some time to
rest, if you are taking some downtime, you may feel guilt,
(43:56):
you may feel regretful about taking time to yourself, even
though you quite clearly need some quiet time away from
everyone to clear your mind. That quiet time may be filled
with very loud, secret, private matters that your mind revisits.
This is for the purpose of closure, not for the purpose of
(44:17):
punishing yourself. It's the ideal week for talk
therapy or journaling therapy oranything to get these revisited
issues out, to get these old perceived regrets out.
Because something that you thinkyou might regret is actually a
valid and valuable part of your journey.
(44:40):
And this time is about punishingyourself less and valuing the
lessons in your life's journey more.
As Juveda goes retrograde in your opposite sign, there may be
a relationship or a partnership that needs a breather.
Maybe it needs some kind of break, some kind of distance,
(45:02):
some kind of time out so that both parties can reflect a
client, a contract, an agreement, personal or
professional. It gets reworked in order to be
more balanced in the future. So at this point, the next four
months is about learning how to set better boundaries without
entirely losing connection. But the biggest tension point
(45:25):
this week with Mercury's retrograde conjunct Mars in
Sagittarius. This is happening in the sign
right before yours in the 12th house.
This is about finally addressingsomething in your subconscious.
You're super conscious, you're unconscious that has been
bothering you privately. This is about not hiding
something anymore. And if it's not therapeutic and
(45:49):
cathartic, it might be that an idea you have hits you out of
nowhere. Some idea comes in the middle of
the night through a dream or while you're taking a shower,
and it's an idea that is noteworthy for you to keep a
note of and go down the rabbit hole of in three weeks time.
(46:10):
So try not to dismiss all of thewild out there ideas that come
to you this week. This is also the week where you
might find you need to defend yourself quietly.
While some of the other signs are initiating debates and talks
based on opinion, you might be the recipient of someone else's
(46:31):
attack. And so if you do find yourself
needing to defend yourself, thismay be done quietly behind the
scenes. And the quieter that this is
approached, the more calm, the more gentle, the more
understanding that is applied tothis situation.
Keeping this disagreement private and behind the scenes
(46:54):
really pays off in finding a solution and to get more from
your reading, make sure to listen to the reading for your
rising sign too. If you don't know what that is,
use the calculator in the show notes below to find out.
This week for Aquarius Sun and Aquarius rising plans that you
make with friends or a group changes last minute.
(47:16):
This can be quite infuriating and quite irritating and seems
to be the theme for the next three weeks.
This might also be the week thatyou run into someone from an old
circle that you didn't expect to, and it's kind of awkward in
having a conversation with them.There might be a group chat or a
(47:37):
group chat kind of argument, andthat argument serves the purpose
of clearing up an ongoing misunderstanding.
This is also the week where Jupiter retrogrades 2.
So this is rethinking your work schedule, going back to an old
job or side job that you had. This is realizing that something
you are doing currently is draining you.
(47:59):
It's also a finger pointing at your health routine, suggesting
that some changes are needed to help you regain focus.
And it's easy to make peace by slowing down instead of forcing
results. This next four months you get
the best success when you take work and Wellness a lot slower,
(48:21):
so slowing down on a health habit that you have been going
too hard and fast with. But the biggest tension this
week really is with Mercury's retrograde conjunct Mars, where
a teen decision gets heated, where you reconnect with a
friend who maybe is a little bitof a bad or impulsive influence,
(48:43):
if not bad. Or you feel the rush and
impatience to pitch an idea to send in a resume to do something
really quickly and say yes. And it might not actually be the
best thing to do. Make sure not to say yes to
recreational things that are unethical or immoral.
That is the biggest thing to remember because this is the
(49:06):
week you may accidentally get caught up in somebody else's bad
trip or journey and get dragged along down into the trenches.
And to get more context with your reading, make sure to
listen to the reading for your rising sign too.
If you don't know what your rising sign is, use a calculator
in the show notes below to find out.
(49:31):
This week for Pisces Sun and Pisces rising.
Mercury's retrograde is in your area of work, so work
communications get mixed up. You may need to double check
schedules, double check emails. Be careful of what it is you are
saying or what you are repeating, maybe without
(49:52):
understanding it. There could also be a moment of
reconnection with a former boss or a past client.
This is a nudge for you to plan for your next big step in life
where it comes to your profession.
But don't make that step impulsively.
Don't make that step this week, even.
(50:14):
Just take on all the informationthat comes to you this week.
See what happens, see what comesout in the wash, and let that
bring you clarity. Jupiter's retrograde is in the
shadows, letting you know that apassion project you have is
probably still worth pursuing. Whether you lost your way with
your main job. Whether you lost your way
(50:36):
getting sucked into somebody else's area of responsibility,
you may have lost a little bit of your own passion or maybe
lost some romance in your love story.
Something personally rewarding has cooled down, and you might
(50:59):
feel the gnawing urge to revisita romantic relationship or a
passion project that used to bring you joy before you lost
the available time to pursue it.The real tension this week is
Mercury's retrograde conjunct Mars in your 10th house, which
(51:19):
is back to that professional focus.
And this week you might have to stand up for yourself at work.
There is a change in tone as youtake charge of a project or you
are taken out of charge of a project.
(51:40):
This is the week where career conversations heat U.
So make sure what you say you are saying it clearly and
confidently. And to get more context with
your reading, take a listen to the reading for your rising sign
too. If you don't know what that is,
use a calculator in the show notes below to find out.
Sunday, November 9th is a week coming up that is worth
preparing for. Two retrogrades happened this
week, both with different meanings, both slightly
incompatible, and both with explicit presentations that you
should know. Welcome to The Horoscope Vault,
a podcast that explores the world through the lens of
(00:22):
astrology with a view to supporting you through life's
ups and downs and help you in making more confident decisions
through each chapter. I'm Charlie, an associate member
of the American Federation of Astrologers and Astrology,
reader for radio's Hall of Fame,The Bob and Sherry Show.
And this episode looks at the week ahead beginning November
(00:44):
the 9th, where some reversals are quite clearly in play.
So listening to find out more. Sunday 9th of November brings
the final Mercury retrograde of 2025 and as usual it brings the
(01:05):
expected technological disruptions and
miscommunications. But beneath the surface, this
retrograde carries a much biggerchallenge to do with what you
believe. Mercury in Sagittarius isn't the
strongest of planet sign combinations in the 1st place
and the term essential dignity in astrology is the term used to
(01:28):
describe how strong or how comfortable a planet is within a
particular sign. So Mercury functions best in
signs that value detail, especially small details and
specific details. It's the little bits and pieces
that add up to the larger whole.Mercury symbolises things being
(01:50):
dialled down in order to be dialled in.
Gemini and Virgo are the naturalhomes for Mercury.
This is where Mercury thrives and accuracy is very easy.
The sign Sagittarius, however, is ruled by Jupiter, which is a
planet driven by expansion, growth and far reaching
horizons. It's all about the bigger
(02:11):
picture. So imagine that Mercury, but
it's pinpointed detail loving energy with Mercury moving
through Sagittarius. It's this trade off.
It's the finite precision of Mercury versus the wide, broad
perspective of Sagittarius. So while there can be a lot of
big ideas, those ideas are not always easy to ground in
(02:31):
practical or factual detail during this time.
Then throw a retrograde into themix and you've got gullibility.
You've got believing things without doing research.
And the tough part of that is that you may actually do some
research and not realize the bias behind it.
And so this is a time where information and wisdom go head
(02:53):
to head and they're not blendingvery well.
It's this challenge that information does not mean
wisdom, experience does. And Mercury starts its
retrograde at 6° and 51 minutes of Sagittarius, meaning that if
you have a birthday between the 21st of February and the 1st of
March, the 23rd to the 31st of May, the 25th of August to the
(03:19):
3rd of September, and the 23rd of November to the 2nd of
December, this is super potent for you.
And that's because Mercury oscillating at the 6th degree of
Sagittarius in a very demanding way.
It directly impacts your son placement if you have any one of
(03:42):
those birthdays. And so the lessons are extra,
extra personal about you being careful of what you believe
about you being thoughtful with what you say about being extra
specific and conscious about choosing to learn lessons
electively so that the universe doesn't pick at random just some
(04:03):
kind of lesson to throw your way.
And the 6th degree of Sagittarius at its core with its
lesson is about working in collaboration.
But it's not just any kind of collaboration.
You must choose your collaborators wisely.
It's natural instinct to includeothers and to want to be
(04:23):
included. But this very same instinct can
scatter focus. It can drain your energy if you
bring in or if you collaborate with or you believe the wrong
people. So before believing anything
anyone says, pause and assess. Is what this person is saying
(04:45):
bringing me clarity or confusion?
Pause and go back and look up the other side of whatever it is
you're learning, believing, reading, and absorbing.
I never thought I'd say this, but this is the time to really
use Reddit for opinions on products people have used for
(05:07):
all kinds of opinions and reallyget alternative perspectives on
the things that you take in. Be careful who you trust, don't
blindly trust someone just because.
Inclusion is definitely a strength, but discernment should
be your filter and this Mercury retrograde is going to force you
(05:27):
in some way to use both. So the Mercury rich grade in
Sagittarius beginning on Sunday the 9th lasts until November the
29th and that's where it ends inthe sign of Scorpio at the 20th
degree. So its impact also effects any
late degree Scorpios too. And that's you if you are born
(05:49):
the 8th to the 21st of November.And the degree that it ends in
is a degree of dedication to information handling.
So by the end, you will be much,much better at honouring your
own way of thinking, even if it's unusual.
(06:10):
You'll be better at staying committed to your process until
clarity arise, instead of rushing to find the answers or
the result. Actually, there is a big, big
lesson in patience during this retrograde in not acting on info
before you're absolutely sure. And I'm in the middle of
preparing an upcoming webinar, alive webinar to join in on
(06:33):
learning your own certainty factors, your certainty
indicators, and how to use astrology to literally make your
best decisions. This is a perfect educational
webinar during the Mercury retrograde to learn how you can
make the most correct decisions for yourself and learn
(06:55):
confidence in how to use that repeatedly.
So keep an eye out for the release of the limited ticket
for that webinar in the next week.
That will be a live session, so we'll all hop on as a group,
jump on a Zoom call and learn how to use your astrology and
human design charts to know yourindicators of decision making
(07:18):
certainties. But in general, this retrograde
could very well be things like the Wi-Fi dropping, and it's not
occasionally dropping, It's likeall of all of the time.
Like your phone is from a different planet and it's text
messages and e-mail misunderstandings that cause
friction. It's your phone auto correcting
(07:38):
and changing a word in a text message that changes the meaning
so significantly it can be embarrassing.
It's calendar reminders that arenot syncing correctly.
It's your GPS sending you to thewrong place.
It's traffic delays, missed turns, airline glitches, car
transport issues that happen right before leaving at the last
(08:01):
worst most possible minutes. It's lost packages or delayed
packages in the mail. It's details with paperwork
where you find some form that you submitted gets rejected or
it needs to be signed again. It's a payment delay, it's a
duplicate charge, it's a contract or invoice confusion.
It's these schedule overlaps or double bookings and it's
(08:25):
documents that are important buthave all the wrong information
on them. It's a mess and it's frustrating
and it's kind of out of your hands.
And really the best thing to do during this time is to just slow
down and double, triple check everything.
Read something again and again before you hit send.
(08:46):
Confirm the times and dates and addresses twice.
Keep screenshots and paper copies of anything important.
Don't rely on digital calendars,especially for travel plans.
Don't rely on digital contract exchanges.
Be careful with your appointments.
Double check those and just build the extra time into your
(09:07):
schedule and expect plans to change.
Now, when it comes to beliefs, be careful what you believe,
which is a generalized comment anyway.
That's good all of the time, butright now it's particularly
important. Mercury retrograde in
Sagittarius means that information can sound very
(09:27):
convincing, but it lacks substance.
There might be people who speak with authority, but their facts
are shaky. There are headlines and rumours
and viral posts that spread faster than the truth.
And you might also realize that something you've been sure about
isn't quite accurate. Something that sounds wise in
(09:51):
the moment could later prove exaggerated or misleading.
Reviews are falsified, and you need to research both sides of
something before deciding. And that's the best way to stay
discerning without avoiding making choices altogether.
And while every sign feels this Mercury slow down, especially
(10:13):
this one being detriment in the sign, it's going to be the
mutable signs that experience itthe most directly.
So Sagittarius, the changes to your life direction, the way you
share your ideas, the way you express your truth, what you
believe and what you read, and matters of the law really impact
you. This is adjusting your entire
(10:37):
existence and your physical bodyand you must be careful of
believing things just because someone holds credentials and
make sure you double, triple check anything that's kind of
sketchy. There's challenging time for
Gemini. It comes up in your
relationships and your contracts.
These patterns require review for Virgo.
This time is bringing changes around home and family and your
(10:59):
long term goals. You'll be thinking more about
where you live, and maybe this might be to do with any
involvement in real estate or so.
And then Pisces, you're navigating a change in the
balance of your career and public image versus your home
life and your health. This is tied to knowledge and
what you choose to learn and listen to, who that information
(11:21):
is coming from, and it's what orwho you ignore and choose not to
learn from or listen to because maybe you're ignoring the people
who are best able to help. It is a particularly tough time
for those mentioned signs and for everybody in general.
(11:44):
Good luck and slow down. The next retrograde of the week
starts on Tuesday, November 11th.
This is Jupiter retrograde in Cancer.
Jupiter in Cancer is the best transit of this year.
Jupiter in Cancer is exalted. So going back to that essential
dignity theme, if you pair cancer's nature of nurture, you
(12:07):
know how the sign of Cancer is all about security and then
Jupiter's expansive nature. Then you get a time of expanding
comfort, safety, and emotional security with an injection of
prosperity, and that is always going to be good.
Jupiter in Cancer is about growing all of the things that
(12:28):
help you feel at home, your sense of belonging, the
structures that make your life feel secure.
This is about those structures being abundant in a positive
way. So it's the ultimate safe growth
energy. And during this time you gain
(12:48):
more luck in life when you prioritize protection and care
and nourishment rather than taking risks or falling into the
trap of chasing excess. So when Jupiter goes retrograde
in the sign of Cancer, then the external growth has to turn
inward. So now you need to look at what
(13:11):
it is, the details of what trulysupports you and question what
security means, what security looks like for you.
And then re evaluate the things that you're doing for your
comfort and your safety and yournourishment and determining
whether they fit you still or whether you've outgrown them.
(13:33):
Outgrowing your current living situation, outgrowing your diet,
outgrowing your comfort zone is all normal.
That is what growth is about. And so now it's about looking
back over the places you've lived, the life you lead, the
habits you follow to keep yourself safe and housed and
financially secure and nutritionally and emotionally
(13:57):
fulfilled. Jupiter retrograding Cancer asks
you to check whether those systems still serve you or if
they've quietly started to limityour growth.
And my bet is that one or more of those things, family, food,
home, emotional management, havegotten out of hand or fallen off
(14:21):
track. Maybe you've been clinging to an
old routine. Maybe you've been comfort
eating, or maybe you've lost your appetite.
Maybe a relationship dynamic that once was strong is now less
so. Maybe there are changes in your
neighborhood that feel a bit iffy.
(14:43):
Maybe the things that once made you feel safe are not so safe,
and that is simply for you to beable to improve them.
The degree of Jupiter's retrograde starts at 25° of
Cancer, which means metamorphosis through
discipline. So this is the disciplined
version of transformation, and it's very much like the moon,
(15:03):
and the moon rules Cancer. So think of yourself as if
you're the moon and you're moving through these internal
phases like growing quietly and the ebb and the flow of the moon
phases, and you are refining andrefining and refining only to be
able to show yourself as a fullylit full moon when the cycle of
(15:29):
change and discipline is complete.
So Jupiter's retrograde starts on Tuesday, November 11th and it
ends next year. That's a while away in March of
2026. It finishes at the 15th degree
of Cancer. And that is the degree of
troubleshooting. So there is no doubt that this
(15:51):
is a period of repairing what has been unstable within your
own foundations. Family themes or family problems
resurface, and these are not things to be fixed necessarily,
but to maybe be more understood and accepted.
It's recognizing where old emotional habits or inherited
(16:12):
patterns will shape how you behave and deciding to protect
yourself by letting go of the things that you've inherited
that you didn't want to inherit the habits from family that
you've on boarded. And you repeat and you repeat
and you repeat that you don't want to repeat.
(16:35):
By reworking this in a structure, you create steadier
ground for the future and you don't continue generational
patterns. This is a generational curse or
generational pattern breaking retrograde and for the duration
of the retrograde, the four months from November 11th till
March 2026. This is not about chasing more,
(16:58):
it's about strengthening what's already good.
It's about realigning your support and discovering the
changes you need to make, the smaller details.
And this Jupiter retrograding Cancer helps you build deeper
roots for the long term. Get this right this time round
(17:19):
and you'll find yourself with a secure foundation and home base
and diet and very supportive baseline for the next 12 years.
But if you avoid focusing on andaccepting these things,
reworking these things for your foundation, then you will have
(17:42):
that very level of instability for the next 12 years.
So see this as you having the chance to lock in security.
Use this retrograde to seal the cracks.
Think of it like reinforcing your foundation, stabilizing the
areas that keep your life running smoothly.
Your home base, your finances, your emotional health, your food
(18:08):
and daily nourishment, and your sense of belonging.
So here's a few practical ways to make the most of this Jupiter
retrograde in cancer #1 audit your foundations.
Literally Review your living space, your finances, your diet,
your routines. Ask yourself what actually
supports you now versus what once used to support you.
(18:31):
And then remove what is ever outdated or emotionally draining
or heavy #2 strength and emotional security.
Build inner steadiness through constant habits like journaling,
mindfulness or therapy. Do the things that help you
focus on responding rather than reacting to create emotional
(18:52):
safety #3 Rebuild your home base.
Bring some order and comfort into your physical environment.
Organise, clean. Set up a regular weekly cleaning
schedule. Repair things in the home.
A stable home base mirrors internal stability #4 nourish
(19:14):
yourself. Revisit your diet, revisit
yourself. Care patterns.
Choose the correct foods that support the activities you
partake in. And also this applies to people.
Choose people that genuinely replenish you instead of just
comforting you or draining you #5 revisit and repair your
(19:37):
emotional foundations from family.
This is reflecting on the familypatterns and the learned
behaviours that still influence your reactions.
Are you like your parents or your siblings in any way?
Are those similarities positive or do they 'cause you trouble?
Are you on the path to living a similar repeating life as your
(20:01):
parents or grandparents? And are you OK with that?
Number six, rebuild from self-awareness, not survival.
Strengthen your inner structure.Set new emotional and living
standards for yourself. Do not stick to tradition.
This retrograde asks you to end those cycles that don't belong
(20:22):
to you and to create stability rooted in conscious choice, not
old conditioning. The last aspect of the week that
is up for discussion is this Mercury retrograde from Sunday
making a conjunction with Mars in Sagittarius.
Most of the rest of the week is Moon based, so this is the final
(20:43):
cosmic aspect to be mindful of with the bigger moving planet.
And it happens on Wednesday. And it's pretty intense
actually. Anything conjunct Mars is
intense. Anything with Mars is intense.
I guess you can boil that down to saying Mars is intense.
(21:04):
So on Wednesday this could be anargument and you might already
know. You might already have a sense
of what this argument might be about or who this argument might
be with. Something that you have said and
thought and or acted on over thelast week or the last few days
develops and it results in one of two head to heads before the
(21:28):
year is out. This time around the head to
head might not be as direct as it could be and the next time
this head to head happens and comes with a conclusion will be
in January of 2026. Mercury is retrograde, so this
might be more like some sly digs, some sly words, some
(21:48):
sarcasm and some passive aggressiveness even.
But I think you already know thetheme, and I think you probably
know where this is going to showup and who with.
This is argumentative and irritable energy on Wednesday.
It is positively good for a genuine debate, a debate that
(22:11):
could actually lead somewhere productive.
But it is a time that is best tokeep your plans flexible.
Circumstances are likely to change based on a brewing
disagreement, and that change iscoming soon.
And as with any tough Mars aspect, please be careful while
driving. Please be careful while handling
(22:33):
sharp objects or doing anything dangerously risky.
This combination can point to things like cuts and slices, and
driving fast could result in a speeding ticket or some other
kind of uncomfortable inconvenient traffic stop or
traffic situation, so that is worth being mindful of.
(22:55):
On Wednesday I'll be releasing the Wellness episode with access
to All and then Thursday will bethe warm up to the weekend
horoscopes which are exclusivelyfor Horoscope Bulb monthly tier
subscribers. And so with that being said,
here are your weekly horoscopes and each one is time stamped
below for your convenience. This week for Aries, some travel
(23:24):
plans that you have coming up, they get messy.
There are some changes. If you are travelling, there are
missing bags, there are delays. Or if you're trying to plan
maybe some future travel, it seems like that's really
difficult to pinpoint. Maybe you can't get the time off
work. There is something going on to
(23:45):
interrupt any present or future travel plans.
If you are in education or considering education, then you
might sign up for something and realize you signed up for the
wrong course or maybe there's a test that needs retaking.
This is also the week you might start rethinking where you want
(24:05):
to live or who you want to live with.
And if you have any home projects going on, They drag on
longer than expected, but actually they turn out to save
you money in the end. This is also a week of family
conversations about space, aboutprivacy, and about plans for the
future. And these are not new
conversations. These are conversations you've
(24:26):
already had resurfacing. The heated argument or difficult
debate type of energy for you this week might be over opinions
where you are forced by somebodyelse's action to make a bold
move. So maybe you go ahead and book
that travel plan anyway, even though your time off hasn't been
(24:48):
okayed. Maybe you act on an idea or some
thoughts and an opinion that have been sitting in your notes
that you've written down and didn't know when to act upon.
This is the week that you revealsome truth.
You share some truth. You say your opinion
irrespective of who it ticks offbecause you know that it's the
(25:13):
right thing to do. Make sure to check the reading
for your rising sign too. If you don't know what your
rising sign is, use the calculator and the show notes
below to find out. The Taurus Sun and Taurus rising
this week. A bill, a tax or joint account
issue can come up and it needs very quick sorting.
(25:35):
Maybe somebody owes you money, or you realize that you've
overpaid somewhere and that needs balancing out.
Or there could be a private topic with a partner or a friend
that finally gets discussed. Travel plans.
A local travel plan, whether it's your immediate commute or a
short trip that you are planningon taking or that you are
already on, goes through some rearrangements.
(26:00):
Maybe there's a rescheduling issue.
Maybe some part of the trip falls through.
This is also a week where you'rerethinking how to stay in touch
with people you really want to stay in touch with, and then
muting the group chats and theirprivate messages that you don't
really want to hear from right now.
(26:21):
Some communication with a familymember or a sibling feels like
it might be a second chance, butbe cautious because some things
might be veiled within that second chance.
The biggest tension this week with Mercury conjunct Mars is
going to be the discovery of a hidden fee where you need to
make a fast decision about an expense.
(26:44):
There is an action to take on a debt or some kind of financial
cleanup or a sale and conversations happen about that
this week in private and they can feel a little bit stressful.
To get more out of your horoscope, make sure to listen
to the horoscope for your risingsign too.
If you don't know what your rising sign is, use the
calculator below to find out. This week for Gemini, a past
(27:10):
relationship or maybe an old client or something like that.
Somebody pops back into your life or there's an agreement or
contract that needs to be written because just going
through verbal agreements has led to some kind of
misunderstanding. So this is the week where you
and somebody else may disagree or even argue over something
(27:32):
small, but it's become bigger because it's been building for
weeks. The Jupiter retrograde asks you
to think about or to rethink about what's worth your energy
when it comes to how you earn your money.
And this might be initiated by the fact that a paycheck or a
payment that you are owed takes a lot longer to come through
(27:54):
than it should. This also helps you realise some
spending habits that might need adjusting before the year's end.
The tension this week, the Mercury conjunct Mars tension is
with a partner or a Co worker where that thing finally boils
over in order to get cleared andyou make a quick choice about a
(28:15):
collaboration, which might actually mean walking away from
someone. There's a conversation that's
been avoided this week. It becomes unavoidable.
Expect that around Wednesday andto get more from your horoscope.
Make sure to listen to the horoscope for your rising sign
too. If you don't know what that is,
use a calculator in the show notes below to find out.
(28:40):
This week for Cancer and Cancer rising, your work schedule is
kind of flipped on its head. Or there are some last minute
changes. Or there are some really gnarly
tech issues at work that seem toonly ever happen on your shift.
This is also the week to check out your health routines and
supplementation program. Something you're eating,
(29:02):
something you're taking, might not be right anymore.
Maybe it needs some tweaking. And once you've handled the work
stress and you've revamped your health routine to make sure your
body is supported, you find yourself back interested in a
project that you've always been interested in, but maybe never
(29:23):
quite had the time or the space or capacity to go fully into.
So you end up redoing a project or revisiting an idea.
This week, Gypsy going retrograde in your sign is a
huge punctuated question mark regarding the path that you're
on. This is the time to question
(29:45):
whether the direction you're going in still fits who you are
becoming, who you want to become.
And this is the right time for you to pull back from taking on
too much where you do so much tofeel productive.
This is the time to pull back from helping people when you see
things can be corrected and redirecting that correction and
(30:09):
that helpful energy into yourself.
It's a time to adjust your goals, and those goals must
match your energy, not the otherway round.
Not trying to match your energy to your goals.
Think about the energy with which you want to live life and
then choose your next step. Choose your goals to match your
(30:33):
preferred output. The tension this week with
Mercury retrograde conjunct Mars.
You're getting fired up about fixing something at work or
within your work. This is fixing a broken system.
This is fixing something that isunfair in terms of treatment.
(30:53):
Somebody's lauding some power orsomebody's being treated
incorrectly or there's some kindof just BS going on.
Maybe a Co worker is pushing your buttons.
They have been pushing your buttons for some time now with
the incorrect authoritative behaviour and this is the week
you finally speak up. And once the air is cleared,
(31:17):
once your opinion is shared, it is correct for you to make a
sudden health change. Join the gym if you don't
already. Go create a new workout plan
from home. Add the supplement you know you
need to supplement with. Obviously, make sure you get
your blood work checked first tomake sure that's correct for you
and adjust your food choices. And to get the most out of this
(31:39):
reading, make sure to listen to the reading for your rising sign
too. If you don't know what your
rising sign is, use the calculator in the show notes
below to find out. This week for Leo, a creative
project hits a snag. Your creativity hits a snag.
Maybe this is a creative block. You can use systems and tools, a
(32:03):
great thing, a great book. A workbook called The Artist's
Way is incredibly helpful for when you hit that kind of
creative blockage. Or you can pick back up on an
old hobby or an old talent that you haven't been given enough
time to, and that helps spark creativity too.
(32:24):
This is also the week where you receive mixed signals in dating
or text messages that lead to this whole question where you
say, wait, what? What exactly do you mean
somebody else isn't being clear and it's having emotional
relational impact on you. And with Jupiter going
retrograde in your 12th house, this is the perfect time for you
(32:44):
to pull back from the noise. Less doom scrolling, more sleep
more, and with Juve to go and retrograde in your 12th house,
this is the perfect time for youto pull back from the noise.
There is too much confusing stuff going on, so spend less
time scrolling, especially doom scrolling.
Spend more time sleeping, spend more time alone, resting.
(33:06):
And you will be forced to do this if you don't do it
electively, because old stress, old worries, or signs of burnout
will resurface if you let it getthat far.
This may be urging you to try therapy, or to try journaling,
or to let yourself have a real break.
(33:27):
This is the next four months of you quietly ending a draining
habit or a commitment so that you can heal and recharge.
The tension with Mercury's retrograde conjunction with Mars
is in a romantic situation. There is passionate and
argumentative energy, both existin this relationship and so if
(33:52):
there are difficulties there, then maybe it's time to throw
yourself into a creative idea. One of those things where you
stay up all night with all the inspiration, finishing something
that feels so rewarding or a romantic conversation gets very,
very heated. Make sure to try your best to
keep it fun, knowing that it's for the purpose of clearing the
(34:13):
air and to get more from your horoscope.
This week, make sure to listen to the reading for your rising
sign, too. If you don't know what your
rising sign is, use the calculator in the show notes
below to find out. This week for Fargo, the focus
is on some home repairs or appliance issues.
(34:36):
Either or both of those can interrupt your piece.
You'll be going through old boxes.
You'll be looking at old furniture.
You'll be rethinking about what it is in your home that feels
like it belongs in your home. There's also the potential that
parents or family members bring something up from the past this
week as an old matter or topic of conversation resurfaces.
(35:01):
Jupiter's retrograde could mean that it's a great week for you
to call upon a friend to come and help you out.
Either a friend is happy to do you a favour or just happy to
enjoy the reviewing and the renovating of your home with
you. Jupiter going retrograde could
also signify that your group commitments that have been
(35:24):
taking your time, maybe taking up a lot of your time, begin to
slow down, giving you back some freedom.
Or you electively pull back fromsocial commitments and this
gives you time to figure out what actually inspires you
before you re engage. The Mercury retrograde conjunct
Mars tension is specifically with a home project.
(35:47):
If there is a project that you rush too fast that you lose
patience with and you're not dealing with the delays very
well, if you rush this project it could be a lot worse than the
feeling of waiting to get it right when it comes to moving or
redecorating or claiming your own space.
(36:09):
Try not to rush this week because the next three weeks
will blow past quickly and if you can wait that time, then it
will be done so perfectly that it never has to be redone again.
And to get more context with your weekly horoscope, make sure
to listen to the horoscope for your rising sign too.
If you don't know what your rising sign is, then use the
(36:29):
calculator in the show notes below to find out.
This week for Libra Sun and Libra rising.
Your phone, your laptop or your car?
One of the above, or maybe or three if you are particularly
unlucky this week. Those things act up and they
happen to crash or go wrong right when you need them the
(36:53):
most. And if it's not your electronics
letting you down, then a text message gets misread or it
doesn't send, or you send a message to the wrong person and
it causes disruption and confusion.
There may also be a situation where you are heading somewhere
that you don't want to be seen going and you run into someone
(37:15):
unexpectedly. The Jupiter retrograde is really
focusing around your career direction.
Your career is going to feel blurry for the next four months
because something big is shifting behind the scenes.
There is a boss or an authority figure that is making you
rethink your long term path. And so for the next few months,
you might pull back gently just to make sure that you are
(37:38):
defining success on your own terms, not somebody else's.
The tension this week was Mercury conjunct Mars is going
to be a conversation that ends up in a debate.
So make sure you choose your words carefully.
You speak up publicly about something you've been quiet on
and somebody else confronts you about that.
(37:59):
Also, be careful with things like driving.
If you drive somewhere in a rush, you may hit unexpected
delays or just have a very bad time of the journey.
To get more context for your reading this week, make sure to
listen to the reading for your rising sign 2.
If you don't know what your rising sign is, use a calculator
in the show notes below to find out.
(38:23):
This week for Scorpio Sun and Scorpio rising Mercury going
retrograde in your second house means that payments you are owed
might get delayed, or the totalsdon't add up, or the payments
that you make don't add up or they are delayed.
So make sure you check your statements, double check all
payments and look for maybe a better way to handle expenses if
(38:47):
these things are more regularly going wrong.
This could also be the week thatsomething you earn breaks and
you decide that it's time to notjust repair it, but fully go
ahead and replace it this time around with the addition of
Jupiter moving retrograde travelplans, legal plans, educational
(39:09):
plans or anything audio based stalls.
But in its stalling it teaches you patience.
If you're involved in any kind of publishing, studying or
licensing, then the reason or the purpose for this slowing
down is in order to let you master the details further.
This is also the week you question a belief, you question
(39:30):
a teacher, you question something or someone that you
once followed blindly. But the real biggest tension,
especially with Mercury retrograde making its
conjunction to Mars in your second house, is still around
purchases and money. So if you do go ahead and decide
very quickly on a fast purchase or investment, it may be too
(39:53):
fast. So while something may break and
it does need repair, the best idea is to wait three weeks
before dropping that money on the new thing.
This is also a time to start thinking about whether you
should request a pay increase. You know, maybe it's time to
negotiate your pay or your pricepoint with more confidence and
(40:15):
make sure that you stand firm onwhat you're worth.
Don't discount your skills and your time.
And to get more from your horoscope reading this week,
make sure to listen to the horoscope for your rising sign
too. If you don't know what that is
then use the calculator in the show notes below to find out.
(40:35):
This week for Sagittarius Sun and Sagittarius rising.
Mercury's retrograde is very personal for you because it is
in your sign. Your time management is non
existent. You may mix up appointments.
You may forget something important.
You feel misunderstood. What you say doesn't say what
(40:56):
you mean, and you find yourself feeling like you need to
rephrase your messaging. A personal project slows down,
life slows down, and everything feels a little bit rough around
the edges. This is all for the purpose of
smoothing things out because youwon't have another retrograde in
your sign, a Mercury retrograde in your sign until the year
(41:20):
2030. So this is the first point in
smoothing your life, refining your life a little bit more,
where you're going, what you're doing, the details of what you
think, say and believe. Refining those things now will
give you the smoothest journey over the next five years.
(41:41):
Jupiter's retrograde does bring up issues tied to money that is
tied to others. This is not necessarily your
money, your income. This is Money that other people
make that somehow you have access to loans, taxes, or
shared bills. They need attention, and there
could be some trust or intimacy issues around money that forces
(42:04):
an honest talk. You may feel the need to pull
back from codependent dynamics, You may want to feel more
independent, but this involves being honest about the skills
that everybody brings to the table.
If there is a period in your life where somebody else is the
main breadwinner, then that's something you may need to find a
(42:27):
way to enjoy. And as long as people aren't
siphoning money from you in, youknow, a very dodgy way, then let
yourself step back. The real tension this week was
Mercury's retrograde conjunct Mars happening in your sign is
that you may say something around Wednesday that you can't
(42:51):
take back. You may make a bold personal
move, like changing your look drastically overnight, changing
your life plans, and you can't take it back.
This might come because somebodyelse challenges you, and if you
handle it with impulsiveness, anirreversible action may be
(43:15):
taken. But if you handle it with
directness, with the view to trying to learn what it is
someone is challenging you about, why they are challenging
you, and what it can teach you, then growth is the result.
And you can get more context on your weekly reading by listening
to the reading for your rising sign too.
(43:36):
If you don't know what that is, then use the calculator in the
show notes below to find out. This week for Capricorn Sun and
Capricorn rising. If you are taking some time to
rest, if you are taking some downtime, you may feel guilt,
(43:56):
you may feel regretful about taking time to yourself, even
though you quite clearly need some quiet time away from
everyone to clear your mind. That quiet time may be filled
with very loud, secret, private matters that your mind revisits.
This is for the purpose of closure, not for the purpose of
(44:17):
punishing yourself. It's the ideal week for talk
therapy or journaling therapy oranything to get these revisited
issues out, to get these old perceived regrets out.
Because something that you thinkyou might regret is actually a
valid and valuable part of your journey.
(44:40):
And this time is about punishingyourself less and valuing the
lessons in your life's journey more.
As Juveda goes retrograde in your opposite sign, there may be
a relationship or a partnership that needs a breather.
Maybe it needs some kind of break, some kind of distance,
(45:02):
some kind of time out so that both parties can reflect a
client, a contract, an agreement, personal or
professional. It gets reworked in order to be
more balanced in the future. So at this point, the next four
months is about learning how to set better boundaries without
entirely losing connection. But the biggest tension point
(45:25):
this week with Mercury's retrograde conjunct Mars in
Sagittarius. This is happening in the sign
right before yours in the 12th house.
This is about finally addressingsomething in your subconscious.
You're super conscious, you're unconscious that has been
bothering you privately. This is about not hiding
something anymore. And if it's not therapeutic and
(45:49):
cathartic, it might be that an idea you have hits you out of
nowhere. Some idea comes in the middle of
the night through a dream or while you're taking a shower,
and it's an idea that is noteworthy for you to keep a
note of and go down the rabbit hole of in three weeks time.
(46:10):
So try not to dismiss all of thewild out there ideas that come
to you this week. This is also the week where you
might find you need to defend yourself quietly.
While some of the other signs are initiating debates and talks
based on opinion, you might be the recipient of someone else's
(46:31):
attack. And so if you do find yourself
needing to defend yourself, thismay be done quietly behind the
scenes. And the quieter that this is
approached, the more calm, the more gentle, the more
understanding that is applied tothis situation.
Keeping this disagreement private and behind the scenes
(46:54):
really pays off in finding a solution and to get more from
your reading, make sure to listen to the reading for your
rising sign too. If you don't know what that is,
use the calculator in the show notes below to find out.
This week for Aquarius Sun and Aquarius rising plans that you
make with friends or a group changes last minute.
(47:16):
This can be quite infuriating and quite irritating and seems
to be the theme for the next three weeks.
This might also be the week thatyou run into someone from an old
circle that you didn't expect to, and it's kind of awkward in
having a conversation with them.There might be a group chat or a
(47:37):
group chat kind of argument, andthat argument serves the purpose
of clearing up an ongoing misunderstanding.
This is also the week where Jupiter retrogrades 2.
So this is rethinking your work schedule, going back to an old
job or side job that you had. This is realizing that something
you are doing currently is draining you.
(47:59):
It's also a finger pointing at your health routine, suggesting
that some changes are needed to help you regain focus.
And it's easy to make peace by slowing down instead of forcing
results. This next four months you get
the best success when you take work and Wellness a lot slower,
(48:21):
so slowing down on a health habit that you have been going
too hard and fast with. But the biggest tension this
week really is with Mercury's retrograde conjunct Mars, where
a teen decision gets heated, where you reconnect with a
friend who maybe is a little bitof a bad or impulsive influence,
(48:43):
if not bad. Or you feel the rush and
impatience to pitch an idea to send in a resume to do something
really quickly and say yes. And it might not actually be the
best thing to do. Make sure not to say yes to
recreational things that are unethical or immoral.
That is the biggest thing to remember because this is the
(49:06):
week you may accidentally get caught up in somebody else's bad
trip or journey and get dragged along down into the trenches.
And to get more context with your reading, make sure to
listen to the reading for your rising sign too.
If you don't know what your rising sign is, use a calculator
in the show notes below to find out.
(49:31):
This week for Pisces Sun and Pisces rising.
Mercury's retrograde is in your area of work, so work
communications get mixed up. You may need to double check
schedules, double check emails. Be careful of what it is you are
saying or what you are repeating, maybe without
(49:52):
understanding it. There could also be a moment of
reconnection with a former boss or a past client.
This is a nudge for you to plan for your next big step in life
where it comes to your profession.
But don't make that step impulsively.
Don't make that step this week, even.
(50:14):
Just take on all the informationthat comes to you this week.
See what happens, see what comesout in the wash, and let that
bring you clarity. Jupiter's retrograde is in the
shadows, letting you know that apassion project you have is
probably still worth pursuing. Whether you lost your way with
your main job. Whether you lost your way
(50:36):
getting sucked into somebody else's area of responsibility,
you may have lost a little bit of your own passion or maybe
lost some romance in your love story.
Something personally rewarding has cooled down, and you might
(50:59):
feel the gnawing urge to revisita romantic relationship or a
passion project that used to bring you joy before you lost
the available time to pursue it.The real tension this week is
Mercury's retrograde conjunct Mars in your 10th house, which
(51:19):
is back to that professional focus.
And this week you might have to stand up for yourself at work.
There is a change in tone as youtake charge of a project or you
are taken out of charge of a project.
(51:40):
This is the week where career conversations heat U.
So make sure what you say you are saying it clearly and
confidently. And to get more context with
your reading, take a listen to the reading for your rising sign
too. If you don't know what that is,
use a calculator in the show notes below to find out.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
