This week enters like a soft storm: quiet on the surface, but moving deep tectonic plates beneath the collective spirit. From November 17th through the 23rd, we walk through a corridor of karmic release, truth-telling, emotional culmination, and spiritual rebirth. The planetary alignments are unmistakably loud—full of late-degree transits, major oppositions, powerful trines, and a New Moon in Scorpio that forces us to choose between the old world and the one we came here to build.
Much of the energy this week revolves around the Scorpio–Taurus axis, pulling us between what we cling to and what we must finally let go of. Mercury’s retrograde back into Scorpio forces conversations we hoped to avoid. The late-degree activations on the 19th, 20th, and 21st echo the theme of 29° completion—doors closing so new paths can open under the fire of Sagittarius season’s rise.
By week's end, we shift from emotional excavation into fiery renewal. But before we rise, we must descend into the Scorpio waters and retrieve the final truth we’ve been avoiding. This is a week of karmic patterns dissolving, Twin Flame cycles purging, relationship clarity cracking open, and destined timelines becoming visible.

Integration Tips
Journal the truth you’ve been avoiding—Mercury retrograde demands it.
Do cord-cutting or timeline-release work midweek.
Set strong New Moon intentions around boundaries, emotional healing, and relationship sovereignty.
Let conversations flow naturally—don’t force outcomes.
Engage grounding practices (salt baths, earth time, journaling, root chakra work) during the 29° activations.
For Twin Flames: focus on inner union, not external outcomes.
Closing Reflection
This week is a karmic threshold—one of the most intense of the season. It strips away illusion, demands honesty, and places us at the crossroads of the Scorpio New Moon where we must choose: remain in repeating cycles, or step boldly into our highest truth. The universe is aligning you with the path meant for your soul, but you must be willing to walk away from what cannot come with you.
This is a week where the shadows speak, but so does destiny.
Let it transform you.
