Your November Cosmic Weather Report - It's time to turn inwards and reconnect with yourself.

Happy November, my loves.

Following on from Samhain we’ve now moved into the dark half of the year, and November invites us to accept that winter is coming and, just as Nature is doing, retreat inwards and embrace the darker and colder months ahead.

Take inspiration from Nature to surrender and retreat within for rest and regeneration. Let her show you how to draw back into the shadows and turn inwards to connect to your inner world, into the stillness and the quiet and all the mysteries and magic you contain.

The Scorpio new moon on the 9^th is going to take you deep beneath the surface. Emotionally intense, this moon will take you into all the areas in your life that you avoid and are usually afraid to confront or alter. She will ask you what you are willing to finally let go of to be who you are meant to be and have all you deserve to have, especially as both Mercury and Venus are coming towards the end of their retrograde. This is a new moon for personal growth and transformation and becoming the alchemist and change-maker in your own life.

After their double retrograde Mercury (13^th) and Venus (14^th) will station direct. This is where we take all that the retrogrades have shown and taught us and put it into action to help us to move forwards differently. As these planets move through their shadow period (Mercury will be in shadow until the 30^th November and Venus 15^th December), this is not a time to make rash decisions or rush into anything but rather realign with your new direction.

Your heart and mind have been rewired so look at changes you want to make in your relationships. This is where those things that don’t align with your values and newfound sense of self-worth don’t get to keep travelling forwards with you.

We also have Friday 13^th so a reminder that far from being the unlucky day that superstition would have you believe this this is a day of the goddess and celebration of the divine feminine. Do something on this day that helps you to reclaim the Goddess, the witch, the wise, wild woman within.

On the 22^nd the Sun takes us into Sagittarius season. As a sign that continually seeks to find the meaning of life and increase understanding and consciousness, Sagittarius will encourage you to go within, like Nature, and explore your inner world and what makes you tick. This is a wonderful time while in hibernation to envision your future and what you want to create and make happen when it’s time.

To help with this the Gemini full moon illuminates our skies on the 24^th helping you to seek a deeper meaning in your life and showing you what is possible for you for the year ahead. If you get quiet enough to listen this moon will bring the download of inspiration, insight and ideas that you need to move forwards.

Mars enters Virgo on the 26^th which on the one hand may increase criticism and perfectionism tendencies but if you can channel this energy in the right way will deepen your devotion and help you to be driven by service.

End this month by putting daily rituals and practices in place that will keep you grounded and connected as the world starts to speed up towards the festive season. Use this transit to clear out and close anything that needs your attention before the year ends and stay disciplined.

Reflect on the following journal prompts to guide you through this month's energies:

✍️ What am I ready to release as I move into this new season?

✍️ Where in my life am I being asked to slow down and turn inwards?

✍️ What has my inner wisdom been trying to tell me?
