What does that mean for your star sign, and the cosmos in general? Here's what to know. For the final retrograde season of the year, Mercury will be in retrograde from Nov. 9 (Sagittarius) to Nov. 29 (Scorpio). In the astronomical sense, a planet is in retrograde when it appears to move backward in the sky from Earth's perspective. Its actual movement does not change; rather, the appearance is an optical illusion created by differences in orbital speeds, according to The Planetary Society. In the astrological sense, a planet appearing to move backwards is believed to symbolize a time for introspection, reflection and revisiting the past. Mercury is associated with communication, travel, technology, the mind and logistics, the…...

4+ week, 6+ hour ago (948+ words) As the Moon shifts from gentle PISCES to assertive ARIES, emotional sensitivity gives way to restlessness and initiative. This transition brings renewal, but Venus at odds with Jupiter creates tension between indulgence and moderation. (Always so tough.) You might want everything at once -- pleasure, validation, progress -- of course, if you had everything, where would you put it? Be cautious. Act, but with restraint. ARIES energy always favors motion, yet the Venus-Jupiter square warns against overextension or impulsive spending. (Take note.) Channel your drive into goals that reward persistence rather than instant gratification. Move forward, but let discipline steer the pace. Emotional fulfillment today comes not from abundance, but from choosing what nourishes you. Moon alert: Avoid shopping or important decisions from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. EST today (7 a.m. to 8 a.m. PST). After that, the Moon moves from PISCES into ARIES. Note: Daylight saving time ends…...
