Astro Daily: November 22, 2024

The Sun’s in Sagittarius and the Moon’s is Leo today, a double dose of fire to get us ready for the weekend. Fire energy needs action; it wants to play and create. Plus, Jupiter in Gemini wants connection, which makes for an adventurous combination.

That said, the Moon’s arrival in Virgo later today means that we’re going into a weekend where there’s a natural focus on work and projects, duties and responsibilities. It’s the last-quarter moon in a month that has brought a lot of potential shifts and changes. Perhaps we need the Virgo Moon to help us gain perspective and to create organization.

Adding to the mix, Mercury is about to turn retrograde on November 25. And so we may find ourselves needing to reorganize and review over the coming days. It’s not to say that our lives will be on hold until December 15, as we sometimes think Mercury is all about. Instead, Mercury Retrograde is a natural period of ebb and flow, a time to integrate key points from the last few months, particularly events going back November 7, when Mercury reached its shadow.

With Mercury in a square to Saturn, this retrograde period will also be about choices, decisions, and commitments.
