Rather than bracing for Mercury Retrograde, we invite you to embrace this period (November 9th-29th) as a spiritual refinement process—a chance to clear static from your frequency and let old, outdated narratives dissolve. With three water signs in retrograde (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), the universe is gifting us a profound psycho-spiritual cleanse.
Here’s what we cover:
- The Upgrade Invitation: Why you must engage with the Mercury Retrograde for a deep mental and cognitive rewire, rather than recycling confusion.
- Sagittarius Detox: From Nov 9th, Mercury in Sag demands a mental expansion and belief detox. What limiting stories have been running the show unconsciously? (Be mindful of spiritual bypassing or excessive optimism!)
- Scorpio Confrontation: When Mercury slides back into Scorpio on Nov 18th, the game changes. We move from philosophical to embodiment. This is where the rubber meets the road—truth will come to light, and you can't avoid the red flags.
- Psychic Purge: All three water signs are in retrograde, purifying and detoxing our psyche. We are being cleansed of pain and confrontation that doesn't need to quantum leap with us into 2026.
- Deep Truth Telling: Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio penetrates the underworld of your psyche, exposing what has been hidden. This is the time to integrate your shadows and excavate old junk that has been buried.
- Power Dates: A roadmap of crucial days for action, clarity, and receiving luck: Nov 12th (watch your mouth), Nov 17th (lucky day), Nov 20th (psychic day), Nov 22nd (Master Number day), and celebration on Nov 30th.
This November is a pressure cooker—focus internally, clear the static, and trust that your soul is catching up to the mental and psychic upgrade you are receiving.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi, everyone, it's Amanda Rigor Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
Thank you for joining me today. You don't want to
miss this episode. We're going to dive into mercury retrograde.
And this is a very unique mercury retrograde for me.
And let me just state this, and I've stated it before.
(00:29):
I embrace mercury retrograde, not the fact that there are glitches, mishaps,
miscommunications and it feels like a time where there's a
bit of a setback. Yes, that is the truth. But
what I embrace about it is I always engage with
it because I know I'm getting an upgrade mentally, intellectually
(00:51):
and from a consciousness perspective. So it's three weeks out
of the year a few times a year because it
happens three to four times a year, but it's three
weeks where I know I am doing a deep rewire
mentally and cognitively. So I encourage you to think about
it that way. There's a lot of information that I'm
(01:15):
gonna share with you today around this mercury retrograde because
it's a bit unique, and November twenty twenty five is
like a pressure cooker. There's a lot happening numerologically, astrologically,
and energetically, So you really I would encourage you to
take this time to heart and focus internally. Let me
(01:36):
give you the pertinent dates first, and then we're gonna
dive in mercury stations retrograde November ninth at six degrees
of Sagittarius. On November eighteenth, mercury retrograde will back up
into Scorpio, and on November twenty ninth, kury will station
(02:00):
direct at twenty degrees of Scorpio. So figure out where
that is in your natal chart. That will be another
way that you can drill down and get a little
bit more precise in terms of where it is impacting
you personally, and it'll give you just more data and
information to understand and interpret and integrate the upgrade that
(02:24):
is happening. But stick with me to the end because
I'm going to also share with you some power dates
through this mercury retrograde, and you don't want to miss
those because you'll want to capitalize on them. Okay, So
this mercury retrograde is really about not recycling confusion, meaning
(02:45):
not recycling old chaos, disease, dysfunction, and indecision. It is
truly about integrating wisdom, and integrating wisdom through your point
of view today, your point of view now. Instead of
asking how do I survive mercury retrograde? Ask what part
(03:05):
of my mind is ready to evolve? What truth am
I brave enough to honor at this time? And I
know for many of us, I know for myself there
are some deep truths that sometimes I'm afraid to express,
to express in certain circumstances, social environments, with family, sometimes
(03:32):
with you. And I'm pretty dang transparent, authentic and very
personal and real. I know that about me. It's where
I feel most comfortable in my own skin. But I
am quirky, I'm weird, I'm outside in the box, and
there are things that are coming through for me that
I'm like, gosh, how do I share this with my audience?
How do I say it? Well, I'm going to be
(03:53):
working on that. So my question for you is what
truths are you becoming brave and to really share right now?
As mercury retrogrades back into Sagittarius at six degrees of Sagittarius,
it will start with your personal philosophies, and as it
moves back into scorpio, it moves into the underworld. So
(04:17):
it's asking you to really reframe not only your beliefs
and your personal meeting, but also get down to the
core and the unconscious of what is going on behind
the scenes. So rather than bracing for Mercury retrograde, I
invite all of you to treat this as a spiritual
(04:42):
refinement process, a chance to clear static from your frequency
or your energetic signal, and to let old narratives dissolve.
Any outdated old narratives unconsciously or consciously, allowing those to
dissolve and get give yourself the space to begin rebuilding
(05:03):
the way you speak, the way you listen, and the
way that you transmit energy through your presence and your
entire frequency filled. All right, let's dive in a little bit.
Just remember that anytime Mercury retrogrades, the key theme or
(05:24):
any of the planets, anytime of any of the planet's retrograde,
the key theme is refill in the blank, revision, revise, rethink, reconcile,
put re in front of anything, and you are re
examining or revising whatever planet is stationing and moving retrograde.
(05:46):
So with Mercury, it's about the intellect and the mind,
information gathering and sharing. But this mercury retrograde is truly
asking us to slow down a little bit and to
listen to the meaning or the frequency behind words. And
I know that when I say that, it's a smidge elusive,
(06:07):
but you know what I'm talking about. When you can
be in a conversation with someone and you could be
doing this as well. I can do this certainly and
be saying one thing and expressing one thing, but really
meaning something else. This is the time to get very
clear in your own side of the street, in what
(06:27):
you say and how you say what you say, and
the energy in which you come from. So as mercury retrogrades.
In Sagittarius, the theme is mental expansion and belief detox.
And what I mean by that is Sagittarius is about
expanding your mind when Mercury turns inward, it's this internal
(06:51):
expansion of your mental horizons how you think and looking
at beliefs that hold you back or limit you, or
they keep you in some kind of stasis. What beliefs
have been running the program or running the show unconsciously?
That's the biggest question you want to ask and what
(07:13):
you want to notice, especially between November ninth and the eighteenth,
before Mercury moves into saj And I tell you what.
We were driving the other day, my husband and I,
and the traffic was really bad. We're here in Quinka.
We know our way around better than we have but
there are certain places where we have to have the
navigation on. So we've got the navigation on. The traffic
(07:35):
is bad. Drivers are crazy here. There are no rules
to the road. And listen, I lived in Belize for
three years and driving was crazy down there. The volume
is so turned up on crazy drivers. I won't go there.
But anyway, so we're driving, we've got the navigation. My
phone rings, and then once my phone rings, I couldn't
answer it because I was trying to help Dennis and
(07:56):
we were trying to get where we were going. And
the next thing you know, Dennis's phone rings and he
can't answer it and get where he's going. But immediately
when the phone rang, and the person who was calling,
and I'm sharing this with you because this is like
a tangible example of recognizing beliefs that keep me in
a lower consciousness, when the phone rang, and it was
(08:18):
like sequential one after the other. Immediately, we were already
in kind of a heightened anxiety situation. We were fine,
but there was a little anxiety in the car. But
immediately when this person called and called, both of us
signed like you know, one after the other. My first
thought was, Oh, great, they're gonna need something from me.
(08:41):
And not only did I think it, I could feel it.
I was likeugh, I was just getting to a place
where I felt like I had everything I needed and
things are stabilizing and things are normalizing, and it's like, oh,
they're gonna need something from me. But it was so
funny because in the midst of this driving and getting
where we're going, rather than me just saying, oh, shoot,
(09:01):
let me call them back into bed, or let me
send a text and say, hey, can't talk right now,
can I call you back in an hour, whatever it is,
I went straight to an old narrative based on interactions
and dynamics with this person. But I went to a
place of scarcity, fear, fear that I was going to
lose my safety and security, feel that my time was
going to be infringed upon. I mean, I can list
(09:23):
out all the things, but I also felt it in
my body and I will tell you this, I felt
it the rest of the drive, like, not only with
the drive, I could feel it. So I was essentially
feeling something, thinking something, and basically imprinting a code in
my energy field that I was going to be overburdened, overwhelmed,
(09:47):
you know, scarcity mode and somebody needing something from me.
And what I felt in all of that is why
do I keep reinforcing an old belief system that keeps
me here? Why can't I just say, oh shoot, can
I call you back later and drop it at that.
That's the kind of stuff I want you to look for,
and it's personal, and it's really having to look at
(10:09):
yourself and how you go to the branch the bad attitude,
you know, bad news bearers, bad attitude. And I could
feel it and it didn't feel good, and I was
frustrated with myself. But I literally that night said hey,
I prayed, and I set intentions and I cleared my
energy field and said, when that kind of belief comes
(10:29):
up and the emotional fuel that reinforces it, I'm ready
to shift these beliefs. That is mercury retrograde and sach
and that's where your power is. So really ask yourself
what belief systems have been running unconsciously and see if
you can consciously notice them. What stories have I been
(10:53):
preaching that no longer hold resonance? Where have my beliefs
become cages rather than wings? Those are the questions you
want to ask with mercury retrograde and sag and the
upgrades you'll get with mercury and sage. Once mercury is
moving direct and this is into December, is your perspective
(11:16):
will shift and expand you will really feel aligned with
the frequency in which your future self is kind of
pulling you towards, so to speak. And this is really
practical alchemy, this belief audit. So it's an opportunity to
(11:39):
really recognize and reprogram outdated stories. And you can do this.
I can do this. And one thing I want to
say is be mindful with mercury retrograde and Sagittarius of
spiritual bypassing self righteousness and excessive optimism without grounding. And
(12:01):
what I mean by spiritual bypassing is just thinking that
you already know it all, like I got it, I
know it, you know I'm good, I'm I'm good, I
know everything and that's that self righteousness too, and that
can be one of the dogma is one of the
pitfalls of SAJ is my it's my way, it's my ethos,
my philosophy, my dogma. So just be mindful of that.
(12:25):
And the excessive optimism piece is rather than gathering the facts,
just believing something or assuming. It's kind of this optimistic
assumption and I can I can totally fall prey to that,
rather than really sitting with something, grounding something and gathering
(12:46):
my facts. It's kind of saying yes too quickly kind
of energy, or to being too excited about something when
app like you in the cold light a day, you're like, ooh,
why did I commit to that? Ooh shoot, I don't
want to do that, or I don't have time for it.
So just be mindful. On November eighteenth, when Mercury slides
back into Scorpio, the game changes. The light of awareness
(13:11):
is kind of like it's going to get under your skin.
We move from this concept or philosophical reprogramming going on
to embodiment, from talking about transformation to actually living it.
So it's like the rubber meets the road. Once Mercury
retrogrades in Scorpio, and it's uncomfortable by the way. I mean,
(13:35):
it's a lot of shadow work and confrontation, confronting truths
that maybe you've been not wanting to see, or those
red flags that have been coming up. Now you can't
avoid them. Scorpio is where consciousness, our consciousness gets truly
forged by emotional fire, meaning you're gonna feel things deeply,
(14:00):
and it's really like we can shift our mindset. I
can shift my mindset pretty quickly, but the harder part
is the emotional shift, the emotional processing. And you may
want to go back to the episode I recorded on
metabolizing energy metabolizing emotions that I think goes hand in
hand because Scorpio doesn't like to do that. Scorpio likes
(14:23):
to like be in the muck of the emotions. And
I got a lot of Scorpio in my chart, so
I get it and use Scorpios out there are like, yeah,
we love to be down in the emotional muck, but
we can stay down there too long and it starts
to really imprint the code that's running the show of
our consciousness. So know that with mercury retrograde and scorpio,
(14:47):
a lot of truths may come to light that'll be
very uncomfortable, and just be aware of that. But anything
that's coming to light is coming to light to be cleared,
especially because we're in a nine universal year, and the
nine is about closure in completion and it's coming to
a close. We're in the last bit of twenty twenty
five and twenty twenty six is a one year in numerology.
(15:17):
Twenty twenty six is a one year in numerology, and
when we move into the one, the nine is purifying
us because it's saying we need to refine and get
rid of anything you don't need with you on this
next phase of your journey, this next decade forward. So
anything that is gonna has not come to light yet
(15:37):
or come to a head like this is primetime television
for it, essentially, So just know moving into the shadow
is really about moving into sacred truth. It is uncomfortable,
it is revealing, but ultimately it's like medicine. It's deep medicine,
so it's very penetrating and it intetrates our psyche. Essentially.
(16:02):
Sometimes the stuff that we can't get to or access
without something experientially shaking us to our core or shaking
us awake into reality. So again it's emotional, and mercury
in Scorpio will always, especially retrograde, will always expose what
(16:23):
has been hidden, buried beneath the surface, taboo not said,
what's not being said behind the words. That's Mercury and Scorpio.
So the upgrade here is deep truth telling. It's also
about integrating some of your shadows, so polarities, we all
have a shadow side to us, and what do you
(16:45):
think makes your light bright the darkness? This is the
perfect time to excavate some of that old gunk and
fear and pain that has been buried and integrate it,
merge it. It's also a very psychic energy where intuition
and spidery sense is super super high. So clearing your
(17:08):
energy regularly during this is a huge practice that I
would encourage. I mean I encourage that all the time.
But with mercury retrograde in Scorpio, we can get so
clouded by other people's energy that we can't tune into
our own intuition. So ground clear your energy as regularly
(17:29):
as you can. And because while mercury is retrograde in Scorpio,
Jupiter has already also retrograded in cancer, and Saturn is
retrograde in Pisces, and Neptune is retrograde in Pisces as well.
All three water signs have planets retrograde cancer, Scorpio Pisces. Literally,
(17:56):
we are being given this psycho spiritual gift that is purifying,
cleansing and detoxing our psyche, what is buried, what is unconscious.
So again, use this wisely, and anything that is painful
or confronting, feel it, metabolize it, let it run through you.
(18:19):
But know that it is being brought up and cleared
because it doesn't need to go with you as you
quantum leap into twenty twenty six and we're all getting
this collective upgrade. One thing I would also be really
mindful of is obsessive thinking. Scorpio can be a little
ocd and obsessive and so like piercing and kind of
(18:43):
nagging and penetrating at times that like, if you are
just so hyper focused and you can't get your mind
off of something, you want to do something to counterbalance that.
Just be aware of it and do something, you know,
go exercise, go te, make a shower, you know, pick
up the phone and call somebody that makes you laugh
(19:04):
you're behind off. Don't call somebody that's going to commiserate
in your misery. That's the tendency. Like, let's like dig
deeper and gossip more and point out this person's flaws
or why they're wrong. I mean that that is Mercury
retorating in Scorpio at its darkest. If you notice yourself
doing that, be like, dude, I'm getting sucked into the
(19:26):
to the shadow concept here. And also watch out for
manipulating and dishonesty like and look for that in yourself.
That's where you got control and notice if other people
are doing it, notice that and what is it reflecting
back to you? On November twenty ninth, Mercury will Station
(19:48):
direct who Hellelujah, and just remember as Mercury Station's retrograde
or on the ninth and Mercury Stations direct on November
twenty ninth. The couple of days before or in after,
that's when the glitches, the miscommunications, the delays happen. Best
rule of thumb is not really signing any contracts in
(20:09):
and around Mercury retrograde if you can avoid that. And
the other thing is just pack extra time into your
schedule because there may be a wreck on the interstate,
or somebody's probably gonna cancel something like cancel and reschedule.
Let stuff roll off your back like water off a
duck's back, or as my friend Gwenn likes to say,
(20:32):
I'm teflon nothing freaking sticks. I think that's a really
good adage for this Mercury retrograde. So on November twenty ninth, hallelujah,
there's gonna feel especially as we shift into December, and
for multiple reasons, because in December, just as a little preview,
will be in a three month numerologically, and I tell
(20:52):
you what the three is about communication and creativity. So
I love the astronumerological combination here because with Mercury direct,
we're going to feel like we have this rebirth of
voice and even our vision, especially as Mercury moves back
over the degrees in which it has transited during Mercury
(21:14):
retrograde in Scorpio and then when it re enters Sagittarius
later in December, I think they're going to be there.
You're going to feel more clarity and momentum, especially in
the way you think and your voice. I mean, you're
really getting a mental and psychic upgrade here and your
soul is working to catch you up with made all
(21:38):
the lessons probably of twenty twenty five, because twenty twenty
five has been immense for each of us. So let
me go through some power dates. And you may want
to get your pen and pencil out, not if you're driving,
and write these down. And if it were me, and
this are the things that I do as I put
these little reminders in my phone, in my calendar, in
my phone, because that way I'm and I'm using the
(22:01):
energy in conjunction with my own experience. And that's that's
what I encourage you to do. On November twelfth, this
day is like a day to watch. Watch your mouth.
Watch your mouth. It is like foot and mouth disease
to the max. So literally close your mouth, breathe, and
walk away. You can say what you need to say
(22:22):
on the thirteenth, but take a beat. Otherwise you may
blow and then you're making amends for it, or you
may overreact kind of from an assumption perspective, So just
temper your voice on November twelfth. On November seventeenth, I
think it's flippin' lucky as all get out. It's like
right place right time energy. It's one of those days
(22:45):
where it's just like I'm going to be in the
right place at the right time, and you know what.
Luck may be that somebody buys your coffee. Luck may
be that somebody cancels an appointment and you have free
time to go get your nails done. So just to
be lucky on the seventeenth, and it's a good on
a lucky kind of day, a fortunate, right time, right place,
(23:06):
right energy kind of day. It's a really good day
to pay it forward, like to give a gift to somebody,
to buy somebody else's coffee at the coffee shop. On
November twentieth. There's the kazimi, the mercury kazimi. And what
a kazimi is that tends to get a lot of
hype these days. That was a word that was not
thrown around, and I see it thrown around astrologically, and
(23:29):
I kind of giggle because I'm like, just like mercury
retrograde gets hype and all the other planet's retrograde. But
what the kazimi means is mercury will conjunct with the sun.
Mercury is what the kazimi means in the heart of
so in the heart of the sun, so mercury retrograde
will conjunk with the sun and it will be conjunct
(23:51):
in scorpio. So this is one of those power days
where I think more than anything, it's like psychic, very
very psychic. So clear and cleanse your energy. It's also
I think a great day to meditate, to go put
your bare feet on the ground, to do your meditation practice,
(24:12):
to do some kind of energy cleansing clearing practice for
yourself and see what comes through, see what you channel,
see what is revealed to you. I think November twenty first,
write this down. I think there's a there may be
a lot of revelations that come to light in whatever
your personal experience is on the world stage, like truth
(24:35):
can't be hidden, and it might be kind of wild
divine timing stuff, or it may be really shocking truths.
November twenty second is totally one of those days you
want to set intentions. And also numerologically, November twenty second
is eleven twenty two, So numerologically you've got the master
(24:58):
number eleven, which is interconnection of the human and the
spiritual world, and then you have the Master Builder, which
is bringing things into reality. So what does that mean?
Use your intuition and do something practical with it. It's
a power day to set intention and take action around
that intention, kind of like a new moon. That's how
(25:18):
it feels on November twenty fourth. It's one of those
days where with love, romance, relationships, friendships, partnerships, you want
to be vulnerable. Like being vulnerable and saying how you
feel and with sincerity gets you a long way. And
(25:39):
the word that keeps coming to mind is endearment. When
we're authentic and vulnerable with people, we endear them to us.
And that's really what the twenty fourth looks like to me.
November twenty sixth, to me is the biggest money day
of the month. Like it's it's a financial day, so
you might get a windfall, or it's a good day
to do something thing financially astute, maybe balancing your budget,
(26:03):
invest in something, and I don't mean putting a ton
of money into something, but do something that contributes to
your abundance. And maybe it is not financial abundance, maybe
it's actually your inner richness. What can you invest in
that feels rich and valuable and worthy. But it's a
really good Money Day November twenty ninth, Mercury will station direct,
(26:25):
but on the same day Mercury Stations Direct. I feel
like it's the energy is just flipping off, like be careful,
drive mindfully to me, and like something about this energy
just feels not okay, So be mindful and I'm not
being fearful or in some kind of like, oh, something
(26:47):
catastrophic is gonna happen, but something feels very awkward. And
November thirtieth, as we close out the month, I love
the energy at this day because it's one of those
days where I feel like it's celebrating and it's about
celebrating joy and love and the people you love and
being grateful and deeper than great gratitude is appreciation. So anyway,
(27:10):
write those power days down. I thought that would just
be kind of fun this month, because yes, it's November,
the holidays are amping up, but just giving you a
little bit of a roadmap, especially the way that I
utilize my roadmap before myself and with my clients oftentimes. Last,
but not least, one of the biggest themes that I
do want to remind you of during this Mercury retrograde
(27:31):
is think about listening more than you communicate. And as
I say that, I'm laughing at myself too, because it's
really it's you really want to listen. You want to
listen to the sentiments and the frequency behind people's words.
Do you trust them, do you vibe with them? What
are they really conveying? What are you really conveying behind
(27:53):
your words? So during these weeks, notice what conversations loop,
what thoughts repeat, what memories resurface? Mercury is showing you
what codes want to be rewritten. You don't have to
force your clarity. Let meaning Sagittarius distill itself Scorpio. All
(28:17):
of that will happen. But just know this is not
a time of breakdown of communication. It's a time of
creating greater coherence and higher frequency. Take care and be
well everyone. Thank you so much for listening to Soul Sessions.

Hi, everyone, it's Amanda Rigor Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
Thank you for joining me today. You don't want to
miss this episode. We're going to dive into mercury retrograde.
And this is a very unique mercury retrograde for me.
And let me just state this, and I've stated it before.
(00:29):
I embrace mercury retrograde, not the fact that there are glitches, mishaps,
miscommunications and it feels like a time where there's a
bit of a setback. Yes, that is the truth. But
what I embrace about it is I always engage with
it because I know I'm getting an upgrade mentally, intellectually
(00:51):
and from a consciousness perspective. So it's three weeks out
of the year a few times a year because it
happens three to four times a year, but it's three
weeks where I know I am doing a deep rewire
mentally and cognitively. So I encourage you to think about
it that way. There's a lot of information that I'm
(01:15):
gonna share with you today around this mercury retrograde because
it's a bit unique, and November twenty twenty five is
like a pressure cooker. There's a lot happening numerologically, astrologically,
and energetically, So you really I would encourage you to
take this time to heart and focus internally. Let me
(01:36):
give you the pertinent dates first, and then we're gonna
dive in mercury stations retrograde November ninth at six degrees
of Sagittarius. On November eighteenth, mercury retrograde will back up
into Scorpio, and on November twenty ninth, kury will station
(02:00):
direct at twenty degrees of Scorpio. So figure out where
that is in your natal chart. That will be another
way that you can drill down and get a little
bit more precise in terms of where it is impacting
you personally, and it'll give you just more data and
information to understand and interpret and integrate the upgrade that
(02:24):
is happening. But stick with me to the end because
I'm going to also share with you some power dates
through this mercury retrograde, and you don't want to miss
those because you'll want to capitalize on them. Okay, So
this mercury retrograde is really about not recycling confusion, meaning
(02:45):
not recycling old chaos, disease, dysfunction, and indecision. It is
truly about integrating wisdom, and integrating wisdom through your point
of view today, your point of view now. Instead of
asking how do I survive mercury retrograde? Ask what part
(03:05):
of my mind is ready to evolve? What truth am
I brave enough to honor at this time? And I
know for many of us, I know for myself there
are some deep truths that sometimes I'm afraid to express,
to express in certain circumstances, social environments, with family, sometimes
(03:32):
with you. And I'm pretty dang transparent, authentic and very
personal and real. I know that about me. It's where
I feel most comfortable in my own skin. But I
am quirky, I'm weird, I'm outside in the box, and
there are things that are coming through for me that
I'm like, gosh, how do I share this with my audience?
How do I say it? Well, I'm going to be
(03:53):
working on that. So my question for you is what
truths are you becoming brave and to really share right now?
As mercury retrogrades back into Sagittarius at six degrees of Sagittarius,
it will start with your personal philosophies, and as it
moves back into scorpio, it moves into the underworld. So
(04:17):
it's asking you to really reframe not only your beliefs
and your personal meeting, but also get down to the
core and the unconscious of what is going on behind
the scenes. So rather than bracing for Mercury retrograde, I
invite all of you to treat this as a spiritual
(04:42):
refinement process, a chance to clear static from your frequency
or your energetic signal, and to let old narratives dissolve.
Any outdated old narratives unconsciously or consciously, allowing those to
dissolve and get give yourself the space to begin rebuilding
(05:03):
the way you speak, the way you listen, and the
way that you transmit energy through your presence and your
entire frequency filled. All right, let's dive in a little bit.
Just remember that anytime Mercury retrogrades, the key theme or
(05:24):
any of the planets, anytime of any of the planet's retrograde,
the key theme is refill in the blank, revision, revise, rethink, reconcile,
put re in front of anything, and you are re
examining or revising whatever planet is stationing and moving retrograde.
(05:46):
So with Mercury, it's about the intellect and the mind,
information gathering and sharing. But this mercury retrograde is truly
asking us to slow down a little bit and to
listen to the meaning or the frequency behind words. And
I know that when I say that, it's a smidge elusive,
(06:07):
but you know what I'm talking about. When you can
be in a conversation with someone and you could be
doing this as well. I can do this certainly and
be saying one thing and expressing one thing, but really
meaning something else. This is the time to get very
clear in your own side of the street, in what
(06:27):
you say and how you say what you say, and
the energy in which you come from. So as mercury retrogrades.
In Sagittarius, the theme is mental expansion and belief detox.
And what I mean by that is Sagittarius is about
expanding your mind when Mercury turns inward, it's this internal
(06:51):
expansion of your mental horizons how you think and looking
at beliefs that hold you back or limit you, or
they keep you in some kind of stasis. What beliefs
have been running the program or running the show unconsciously?
That's the biggest question you want to ask and what
(07:13):
you want to notice, especially between November ninth and the eighteenth,
before Mercury moves into saj And I tell you what.
We were driving the other day, my husband and I,
and the traffic was really bad. We're here in Quinka.
We know our way around better than we have but
there are certain places where we have to have the
navigation on. So we've got the navigation on. The traffic
(07:35):
is bad. Drivers are crazy here. There are no rules
to the road. And listen, I lived in Belize for
three years and driving was crazy down there. The volume
is so turned up on crazy drivers. I won't go there.
But anyway, so we're driving, we've got the navigation. My
phone rings, and then once my phone rings, I couldn't
answer it because I was trying to help Dennis and
(07:56):
we were trying to get where we were going. And
the next thing you know, Dennis's phone rings and he
can't answer it and get where he's going. But immediately
when the phone rang, and the person who was calling,
and I'm sharing this with you because this is like
a tangible example of recognizing beliefs that keep me in
a lower consciousness, when the phone rang, and it was
(08:18):
like sequential one after the other. Immediately, we were already
in kind of a heightened anxiety situation. We were fine,
but there was a little anxiety in the car. But
immediately when this person called and called, both of us
signed like you know, one after the other. My first
thought was, Oh, great, they're gonna need something from me.
(08:41):
And not only did I think it, I could feel it.
I was likeugh, I was just getting to a place
where I felt like I had everything I needed and
things are stabilizing and things are normalizing, and it's like, oh,
they're gonna need something from me. But it was so
funny because in the midst of this driving and getting
where we're going, rather than me just saying, oh, shoot,
(09:01):
let me call them back into bed, or let me
send a text and say, hey, can't talk right now,
can I call you back in an hour, whatever it is,
I went straight to an old narrative based on interactions
and dynamics with this person. But I went to a
place of scarcity, fear, fear that I was going to
lose my safety and security, feel that my time was
going to be infringed upon. I mean, I can list
(09:23):
out all the things, but I also felt it in
my body and I will tell you this, I felt
it the rest of the drive, like, not only with
the drive, I could feel it. So I was essentially
feeling something, thinking something, and basically imprinting a code in
my energy field that I was going to be overburdened, overwhelmed,
(09:47):
you know, scarcity mode and somebody needing something from me.
And what I felt in all of that is why
do I keep reinforcing an old belief system that keeps
me here? Why can't I just say, oh shoot, can
I call you back later and drop it at that.
That's the kind of stuff I want you to look for,
and it's personal, and it's really having to look at
(10:09):
yourself and how you go to the branch the bad attitude,
you know, bad news bearers, bad attitude. And I could
feel it and it didn't feel good, and I was
frustrated with myself. But I literally that night said hey,
I prayed, and I set intentions and I cleared my
energy field and said, when that kind of belief comes
(10:29):
up and the emotional fuel that reinforces it, I'm ready
to shift these beliefs. That is mercury retrograde and sach
and that's where your power is. So really ask yourself
what belief systems have been running unconsciously and see if
you can consciously notice them. What stories have I been
(10:53):
preaching that no longer hold resonance? Where have my beliefs
become cages rather than wings? Those are the questions you
want to ask with mercury retrograde and sag and the
upgrades you'll get with mercury and sage. Once mercury is
moving direct and this is into December, is your perspective
(11:16):
will shift and expand you will really feel aligned with
the frequency in which your future self is kind of
pulling you towards, so to speak. And this is really
practical alchemy, this belief audit. So it's an opportunity to
(11:39):
really recognize and reprogram outdated stories. And you can do this.
I can do this. And one thing I want to
say is be mindful with mercury retrograde and Sagittarius of
spiritual bypassing self righteousness and excessive optimism without grounding. And
(12:01):
what I mean by spiritual bypassing is just thinking that
you already know it all, like I got it, I
know it, you know I'm good, I'm I'm good, I
know everything and that's that self righteousness too, and that
can be one of the dogma is one of the
pitfalls of SAJ is my it's my way, it's my ethos,
my philosophy, my dogma. So just be mindful of that.
(12:25):
And the excessive optimism piece is rather than gathering the facts,
just believing something or assuming. It's kind of this optimistic
assumption and I can I can totally fall prey to that,
rather than really sitting with something, grounding something and gathering
(12:46):
my facts. It's kind of saying yes too quickly kind
of energy, or to being too excited about something when
app like you in the cold light a day, you're like, ooh,
why did I commit to that? Ooh shoot, I don't
want to do that, or I don't have time for it.
So just be mindful. On November eighteenth, when Mercury slides
back into Scorpio, the game changes. The light of awareness
(13:11):
is kind of like it's going to get under your skin.
We move from this concept or philosophical reprogramming going on
to embodiment, from talking about transformation to actually living it.
So it's like the rubber meets the road. Once Mercury
retrogrades in Scorpio, and it's uncomfortable by the way. I mean,
(13:35):
it's a lot of shadow work and confrontation, confronting truths
that maybe you've been not wanting to see, or those
red flags that have been coming up. Now you can't
avoid them. Scorpio is where consciousness, our consciousness gets truly
forged by emotional fire, meaning you're gonna feel things deeply,
(14:00):
and it's really like we can shift our mindset. I
can shift my mindset pretty quickly, but the harder part
is the emotional shift, the emotional processing. And you may
want to go back to the episode I recorded on
metabolizing energy metabolizing emotions that I think goes hand in
hand because Scorpio doesn't like to do that. Scorpio likes
(14:23):
to like be in the muck of the emotions. And
I got a lot of Scorpio in my chart, so
I get it and use Scorpios out there are like, yeah,
we love to be down in the emotional muck, but
we can stay down there too long and it starts
to really imprint the code that's running the show of
our consciousness. So know that with mercury retrograde and scorpio,
(14:47):
a lot of truths may come to light that'll be
very uncomfortable, and just be aware of that. But anything
that's coming to light is coming to light to be cleared,
especially because we're in a nine universal year, and the
nine is about closure in completion and it's coming to
a close. We're in the last bit of twenty twenty
five and twenty twenty six is a one year in numerology.
(15:17):
Twenty twenty six is a one year in numerology, and
when we move into the one, the nine is purifying
us because it's saying we need to refine and get
rid of anything you don't need with you on this
next phase of your journey, this next decade forward. So
anything that is gonna has not come to light yet
(15:37):
or come to a head like this is primetime television
for it, essentially, So just know moving into the shadow
is really about moving into sacred truth. It is uncomfortable,
it is revealing, but ultimately it's like medicine. It's deep medicine,
so it's very penetrating and it intetrates our psyche. Essentially.
(16:02):
Sometimes the stuff that we can't get to or access
without something experientially shaking us to our core or shaking
us awake into reality. So again it's emotional, and mercury
in Scorpio will always, especially retrograde, will always expose what
(16:23):
has been hidden, buried beneath the surface, taboo not said,
what's not being said behind the words. That's Mercury and Scorpio.
So the upgrade here is deep truth telling. It's also
about integrating some of your shadows, so polarities, we all
have a shadow side to us, and what do you
(16:45):
think makes your light bright the darkness? This is the
perfect time to excavate some of that old gunk and
fear and pain that has been buried and integrate it,
merge it. It's also a very psychic energy where intuition
and spidery sense is super super high. So clearing your
(17:08):
energy regularly during this is a huge practice that I
would encourage. I mean I encourage that all the time.
But with mercury retrograde in Scorpio, we can get so
clouded by other people's energy that we can't tune into
our own intuition. So ground clear your energy as regularly
(17:29):
as you can. And because while mercury is retrograde in Scorpio,
Jupiter has already also retrograded in cancer, and Saturn is
retrograde in Pisces, and Neptune is retrograde in Pisces as well.
All three water signs have planets retrograde cancer, Scorpio Pisces. Literally,
(17:56):
we are being given this psycho spiritual gift that is purifying,
cleansing and detoxing our psyche, what is buried, what is unconscious.
So again, use this wisely, and anything that is painful
or confronting, feel it, metabolize it, let it run through you.
(18:19):
But know that it is being brought up and cleared
because it doesn't need to go with you as you
quantum leap into twenty twenty six and we're all getting
this collective upgrade. One thing I would also be really
mindful of is obsessive thinking. Scorpio can be a little
ocd and obsessive and so like piercing and kind of
(18:43):
nagging and penetrating at times that like, if you are
just so hyper focused and you can't get your mind
off of something, you want to do something to counterbalance that.
Just be aware of it and do something, you know,
go exercise, go te, make a shower, you know, pick
up the phone and call somebody that makes you laugh
(19:04):
you're behind off. Don't call somebody that's going to commiserate
in your misery. That's the tendency. Like, let's like dig
deeper and gossip more and point out this person's flaws
or why they're wrong. I mean that that is Mercury
retorating in Scorpio at its darkest. If you notice yourself
doing that, be like, dude, I'm getting sucked into the
(19:26):
to the shadow concept here. And also watch out for
manipulating and dishonesty like and look for that in yourself.
That's where you got control and notice if other people
are doing it, notice that and what is it reflecting
back to you? On November twenty ninth, Mercury will Station
(19:48):
direct who Hellelujah, and just remember as Mercury Station's retrograde
or on the ninth and Mercury Stations direct on November
twenty ninth. The couple of days before or in after,
that's when the glitches, the miscommunications, the delays happen. Best
rule of thumb is not really signing any contracts in
(20:09):
and around Mercury retrograde if you can avoid that. And
the other thing is just pack extra time into your
schedule because there may be a wreck on the interstate,
or somebody's probably gonna cancel something like cancel and reschedule.
Let stuff roll off your back like water off a
duck's back, or as my friend Gwenn likes to say,
(20:32):
I'm teflon nothing freaking sticks. I think that's a really
good adage for this Mercury retrograde. So on November twenty ninth, hallelujah,
there's gonna feel especially as we shift into December, and
for multiple reasons, because in December, just as a little preview,
will be in a three month numerologically, and I tell
(20:52):
you what the three is about communication and creativity. So
I love the astronumerological combination here because with Mercury direct,
we're going to feel like we have this rebirth of
voice and even our vision, especially as Mercury moves back
over the degrees in which it has transited during Mercury
(21:14):
retrograde in Scorpio and then when it re enters Sagittarius
later in December, I think they're going to be there.
You're going to feel more clarity and momentum, especially in
the way you think and your voice. I mean, you're
really getting a mental and psychic upgrade here and your
soul is working to catch you up with made all
(21:38):
the lessons probably of twenty twenty five, because twenty twenty
five has been immense for each of us. So let
me go through some power dates. And you may want
to get your pen and pencil out, not if you're driving,
and write these down. And if it were me, and
this are the things that I do as I put
these little reminders in my phone, in my calendar, in
my phone, because that way I'm and I'm using the
(22:01):
energy in conjunction with my own experience. And that's that's
what I encourage you to do. On November twelfth, this
day is like a day to watch. Watch your mouth.
Watch your mouth. It is like foot and mouth disease
to the max. So literally close your mouth, breathe, and
walk away. You can say what you need to say
(22:22):
on the thirteenth, but take a beat. Otherwise you may
blow and then you're making amends for it, or you
may overreact kind of from an assumption perspective, So just
temper your voice on November twelfth. On November seventeenth, I
think it's flippin' lucky as all get out. It's like
right place right time energy. It's one of those days
(22:45):
where it's just like I'm going to be in the
right place at the right time, and you know what.
Luck may be that somebody buys your coffee. Luck may
be that somebody cancels an appointment and you have free
time to go get your nails done. So just to
be lucky on the seventeenth, and it's a good on
a lucky kind of day, a fortunate, right time, right place,
(23:06):
right energy kind of day. It's a really good day
to pay it forward, like to give a gift to somebody,
to buy somebody else's coffee at the coffee shop. On
November twentieth. There's the kazimi, the mercury kazimi. And what
a kazimi is that tends to get a lot of
hype these days. That was a word that was not
thrown around, and I see it thrown around astrologically, and
(23:29):
I kind of giggle because I'm like, just like mercury
retrograde gets hype and all the other planet's retrograde. But
what the kazimi means is mercury will conjunct with the sun.
Mercury is what the kazimi means in the heart of
so in the heart of the sun, so mercury retrograde
will conjunk with the sun and it will be conjunct
(23:51):
in scorpio. So this is one of those power days
where I think more than anything, it's like psychic, very
very psychic. So clear and cleanse your energy. It's also
I think a great day to meditate, to go put
your bare feet on the ground, to do your meditation practice,
(24:12):
to do some kind of energy cleansing clearing practice for
yourself and see what comes through, see what you channel,
see what is revealed to you. I think November twenty first,
write this down. I think there's a there may be
a lot of revelations that come to light in whatever
your personal experience is on the world stage, like truth
(24:35):
can't be hidden, and it might be kind of wild
divine timing stuff, or it may be really shocking truths.
November twenty second is totally one of those days you
want to set intentions. And also numerologically, November twenty second
is eleven twenty two, So numerologically you've got the master
(24:58):
number eleven, which is interconnection of the human and the
spiritual world, and then you have the Master Builder, which
is bringing things into reality. So what does that mean?
Use your intuition and do something practical with it. It's
a power day to set intention and take action around
that intention, kind of like a new moon. That's how
(25:18):
it feels on November twenty fourth. It's one of those
days where with love, romance, relationships, friendships, partnerships, you want
to be vulnerable. Like being vulnerable and saying how you
feel and with sincerity gets you a long way. And
(25:39):
the word that keeps coming to mind is endearment. When
we're authentic and vulnerable with people, we endear them to us.
And that's really what the twenty fourth looks like to me.
November twenty sixth, to me is the biggest money day
of the month. Like it's it's a financial day, so
you might get a windfall, or it's a good day
to do something thing financially astute, maybe balancing your budget,
(26:03):
invest in something, and I don't mean putting a ton
of money into something, but do something that contributes to
your abundance. And maybe it is not financial abundance, maybe
it's actually your inner richness. What can you invest in
that feels rich and valuable and worthy. But it's a
really good Money Day November twenty ninth, Mercury will station direct,
(26:25):
but on the same day Mercury Stations Direct. I feel
like it's the energy is just flipping off, like be careful,
drive mindfully to me, and like something about this energy
just feels not okay, So be mindful and I'm not
being fearful or in some kind of like, oh, something
(26:47):
catastrophic is gonna happen, but something feels very awkward. And
November thirtieth, as we close out the month, I love
the energy at this day because it's one of those
days where I feel like it's celebrating and it's about
celebrating joy and love and the people you love and
being grateful and deeper than great gratitude is appreciation. So anyway,
(27:10):
write those power days down. I thought that would just
be kind of fun this month, because yes, it's November,
the holidays are amping up, but just giving you a
little bit of a roadmap, especially the way that I
utilize my roadmap before myself and with my clients oftentimes. Last,
but not least, one of the biggest themes that I
do want to remind you of during this Mercury retrograde
(27:31):
is think about listening more than you communicate. And as
I say that, I'm laughing at myself too, because it's
really it's you really want to listen. You want to
listen to the sentiments and the frequency behind people's words.
Do you trust them, do you vibe with them? What
are they really conveying? What are you really conveying behind
(27:53):
your words? So during these weeks, notice what conversations loop,
what thoughts repeat, what memories resurface? Mercury is showing you
what codes want to be rewritten. You don't have to
force your clarity. Let meaning Sagittarius distill itself Scorpio. All
(28:17):
of that will happen. But just know this is not
a time of breakdown of communication. It's a time of
creating greater coherence and higher frequency. Take care and be
well everyone. Thank you so much for listening to Soul Sessions.
