The cosmos is speaking in whispers of fire and fate this week. We’re walking through the threshold of deep internal alchemy, where endings become invitations and silence becomes the most sacred sound. Mercury has officially stationed retrograde in Sagittarius, igniting the collective mind with sparks of restlessness and divine curiosity. This is no ordinary retrograde—this is a call to reevaluate the truth you’ve been living, the stories you’ve been telling, and the way your beliefs shape your reality. Sagittarius is the seeker and the sage, and as Mercury retraces its steps, we are asked to remember that wisdom isn’t found in being right—it’s found in staying open.
There’s a hum of anticipation in the air, like the Universe is inhaling before a great exhale. This week is cosmically quieter in terms of transits, but it carries the weight of initiation. It’s the calm before the culmination, as we build toward next week’s Scorpio New Moon and the Sun’s transition into Sagittarius. Between now and then, the lessons are internal—about discernment, patience, and self-trust.
With Mercury retrograde conjunct Mars midweek, we may feel impulsive to speak or act, but the energy invites us to pause, refine, and realign our intent before striking the match. Every truth we speak this week carries power—so make sure it’s one that liberates, not wounds.
The highlight of the week is the 11:11 Portal, an energetic gateway resonating at the frequency of transformation and resurrection. This year’s 11:11 adds up to the sacred number 13, the vibration of death and rebirth, the Death card in the Tarot—Scorpio energy in its purest form. It symbolizes the shedding of old identities, rigid thoughts, outdated paradigms, and attachments that can no longer grow.
Simultaneously, Jupiter stations retrograde in Cancer, calling us to slow down expansion in order to tend to the emotional foundations that sustain it. The cosmos is asking: Are you nurturing the home within? This is a week to breathe, to ground, and to prepare for what’s coming. The new beginning you seek will require the space you make now.
Cosmic Highlights: November 10–16, 2025
November 11 – The 11:11 Portal + Jupiter Stations Retrograde in Cancer (25°09’)
The 11:11 Gateway aligns with Jupiter’s station, amplifying themes of spiritual transmutation and sacred closure. Number 13—the vibration of the Death card—ushers in profound inner transformation. The old self dissolves so the new crystalline structure can anchor. Jupiter’s retrograde in Cancer may slow progress around expansion, home, or family, but this is divine timing for reflection and emotional recalibration. You may feel nostalgic or tender-hearted. Be gentle with yourself as your soul rewires for growth.
November 12 – Mercury Retrograde Conjunct Mars in Sagittarius (6°04’)
This is a cosmic ignition point—the Lovers meet the Emperor. Words become actions, thoughts spark movement, and conversations ignite truth. This can be a passionate moment of clarity or confrontation, depending on your awareness. Because Mercury is retrograde, the flame sputters before it stabilizes—old conversations, misunderstandings, or misaligned actions may resurface to be healed.
Divine Masculine especially may feel the call to reclaim direction or face karmic dialogue. This is a chance to refine the fire: not to react, but to respond from truth.
Twin Flame Collective Energy
Within the Twin Flame dynamic, this week serves as a mirror activation. Mercury retrograde conjunct Mars reawakens communication wounds, especially those tied to the Masculine’s voice and action. For many connections, this may manifest as silence breaking, messages revisited, or even energetic tension as mirrored truths rise to the surface. Divine Feminines are being guided to stay anchored in self-trust, not reaction.
This 11:11 Portal is a soul reset—a remembrance of the eternal connection that transcends ego conflict. The Death card vibration invites both counterparts to surrender old timelines, control dynamics, and communication patterns. A rebirth of the connection is possible, but only through surrender and truth.
Signs Most Affected
Sagittarius & Gemini: Major activations around communication, belief systems, and personal truth.
Cancer & Capricorn: Emotional reflection around home, security, and long-term structure.
Scorpio & Taurus: Deep transformation and endings that clear space for new beginnings.
Aries & Libra: Decisions around independence, partnership, and the balance between assertion and peacekeeping.
Integration Tips
Ground before reacting. With Mercury conjunct Mars, words can burn or heal—choose consciously.
Reflect, don’t rush. Jupiter retrograde slows growth to nurture deeper understanding.
Cleanse your energy. Use salt baths, journaling, or breathwork during the 11:11 Portal to release attachments.
Anchor gratitude. Gratitude expands your timeline of abundance and peace.
Speak affirmations of rebirth: “I release what was. I welcome what is becoming.”
Closing Reflections
This week is a bridge between worlds—the end of one chapter and the threshold of another. The Universe is asking us to surrender our need for control and trust the divine unfolding. The flames of Mercury retrograde and the stillness of Jupiter retrograde work in tandem to reshape our perception of truth, movement, and expansion.
Remember: retrogrades don’t take us backward—they spiral us inward, so we can move forward with greater consciousness. As we walk through the 11:11 Portal, know that what is ending now is not loss—it is liberation. The spark within you is preparing to ignite something extraordinary.
