Astrology Tip Nov 10:

A warm hello.

The good thing about Retrograde planets is they can bring a 2nd chance, or renewed action with a matter, situation undertaking or opportunity we’re engaged in – something we’ve been hoping for!  This week, both lucky Jupiter and Mercury the planet of communication turn retrograde.

Wishing you joy,
Karen

A warm hello.

There’s so much happening in the days ahead: Mercury conjunct fiery Mars, and both hovering in the Fire Sign of Sagittarius, could spark hot debates, bold ideas and progressive discussions.  
Mercury also turns retrograde – there’ll be an opportunity to rekindle a discussion you’re keen to take further.

Jupiter, the giant of our solar system, in Cancer, stationary and turning retrograde, is a planetary highlight: it will bring a sweet joy or stroke of good luck in this area of your life.

The planet Venus joining the Sun in Scorpio may bring a loving new focus in the coming weeks, creative pursuits are favoured as well.

The planet Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus and will linger there until the end of April 2026 – revisiting your Uranus in Taurus ‘Big Planets, Big News’ forecast will reacquaint you with what this means for you.
