On 25 November Mercury and Venus meet in a conjunction. On 26 and 27 November Venus trines Jupiter and Saturn. This is an excellent time to deepen bonds and clarify commitments. Honest sharing and conscious, non-judgmental listening can now open a new level of trust and stability. On 28 November Saturn in Pisces turns direct, as does Mercury in Scorpio on the 29th. Projects that had stalled begin to move again, and communication flows more smoothly. On 30 November Venus enters Sagittarius. During the transition it opposes Uranus and trines Neptune. After the deep relationship work of the past few days, you may fall head over heels into a romantic affair, which can just as well be a welcome revival of an existing relationship. https://www.astro.com/horoscope -------------------------------------- In peace and harmony, Valerie Miller SCOL Secretary  Autumn display at Bayard Cutting Arboretum; photo copyright © by Valerie Miller.

While this can feel a little unsettling, Uranus wants us to shake things up. It wants us to try something new and to embrace a deeper layer of authenticity. If there is something we have been withholding, or something we have been too afraid to do or hear, this New Moon could rattle things for us and create enough tension where we are forced to take action.

If there is something we have been withholding, or something we have been too afraid to do or hear, this New Moon could rattle things for us and create enough tension where we are forced to take action. Sometimes we need these cosmic pushes, and this New Moon is offering one. Of course, being pushed can always be confronting and hard to navigate, but we are promised an awakening on the other side. Uranus can also sometimes stir surprising news and information that can catapult us to a new chapter of our story. If this is unfolding in your life under the New Moon, see if you can hold space to recognize that you are being guided to step forth into a new adventure and a new elevation of your soul journey. Uranus and the Scorpio New Moon are also activating our feelings of security. If we don’t feel secure within ourselves, we may find that some changes need to be made. Just the same, something that felt secure may no longer seem as stable. The ground beneath us may feel rocky, but as the energies settle, we will find ourselves creating a new sense of inner and outer security that is more authentic and aligned with the new road we are traveling.

After all, 2025 was always destined to be a year of endings, as it holds the vibration of number 9. Number 9 represents reaching an endpoint, but it is also a number of wholeness, resolution, and understanding.

Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms. Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs. Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know. Ebony and family Danielle S. Dolores M Loralei S Theresa F. and family Mary C. Linda and Larry B. Stephanie B. and family Ron G. Mary C. Frank K. Camille J. and Chrissy and family Eileen W. Lindy C. Karen L. Valerie M. Fran D. Brad H. Pano K. Bill B. Alexandria K. Helena R. Amy V. and Lucy V.

After all, 2025 was always destined to be a year of endings, as it holds the vibration of number 9. Number 9 represents reaching an endpoint, but it is also a number of wholeness, resolution, and understanding. This makes 2026 a number 1 year, which means we are heading into a time of new beginnings, firsts, and uncharted territory. Perhaps knowing this will allow us to wrap up any loose ends and clear space for the fresh energy that is set to arrive, and we can use the Taurus Super Full Moon as our guide. Allow things to Bloom Use the gravitational pull of this Super Full Moon to release and let go of things that are no longer serving your highest good. Use this Full Moon to release all that is stopping you from slowing down, savoring the moment, and feeling secure and stable. Allow Abundance The fastest way we can open to the energies of abundance is by feeling abundant, and the best way to achieve that is to practice gratitude. Gratitude allows us to feel grateful for what we have, and puts us in an open vibration. But it is important that we also practice authenticity, too. It is okay if we don’t always feel grateful or satisfied with the events that have unfolded in our lives. What is more important is that we are authentic and true to ourselves and how we really feel. Allow Clarity Compared to the last Full Moons we have experienced, the planetary energy under this Full Moon is relatively quiet. This should make for a clear and directed Full Moon, that is somewhat simple to navigate. We know what is required of us, and the steps to get there are clear.
