Going Deep: Mercury Rx Conjunct the Sun, Venus & Hekate ~ Nov 2 - 8

Recap

The astrologer presents November 2–8 as a week for deep reflection, intuition, and changing how we relate to ourselves and others. The forecast builds toward a Scorpio New Moon at 2 a.m. Eastern on November 9, described as the start of a fresh cycle amid Mercury and Venus retrogrades.

• November 2 onward: Venus retrograde in Libra trines Hecate and the North Node. The astrologer sees this as support for imagining a new direction in love, relationships, and community, while noting that a trine still requires attention and participation. The recurring invitation is to trust intuition and “other ways of knowing,” even without a clear plan.
• November 4–5: Mercury retrograde meets the Scorpio Sun, which the astrologer associates with insights rising from the past. These insights may be intense or painful, but they can reveal what someone is ready to see now. Juno’s conjunction with Pluto is framed as an opportunity to release inherited or exhausting relationship roles and make commitments with greater integrity. A square involving Iris adds themes of promises and breakthroughs.
• Creative identity and community: Hecate’s connection with the North Node is described as support for moving through uncertainty. The forecast encourages sharing ideas and seeking people, books, music, or communities where one doesn’t have to hide. On November 6, Mars opposite Chariklo prompts reflection on whether creative impulses are being shaped by public approval or supported by a more authentic sense of self.
• November 7–8: The dark Moon in Libra, near retrograde Venus, turns attention toward relationships and listening for what is beginning to emerge. The astrologer suggests using quiet, meditation, candles, music, or drumming to tune in. Venus square Ceres on November 8 emphasizes self-nurturing, including care for the “inner child” and permission to seek solitude rather than meet every expectation.
• Looking ahead: The speaker previews an intensifying Leo combination involving Mars, Jupiter, and the South Node, presenting it as a longer process of shedding old patterns and rediscovering creative confidence.

The overall message is to move slowly, care for yourself, and let new insights and passions take shape without demanding immediate certainty.
