[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of November 24 - 30

This week really will feel like the end of one season in preparation for the next. Two planets are stationing direct and Venus is slipping into something a little more festive as we kiss November goodbye. 

But first we have to get through this season.

Monday 11/24

• 🌒 Waxing Crescent Moon | 4:25am Eastern
•  ☽ at 22° 24‘ Capricorn ✳ ♀︎ at 22° 24‘ Scorpio | 2:24pm Eastern
•  ☽ at 22° 57‘ Capricorn ✳ ☿ at 22° 57‘ Scorpio | 3:27pm Eastern
• ☽ at 24° 51‘ Capricorn ☍ ♃ at 24° 51‘ Cancer | 7:12pm Eastern
• ☽ at 25° 09‘ Capricorn ✳ ♄ at 25° 09‘ Pisces | 7:48pm Eastern
• ☿ ☌ ♀︎ at 22° 45‘ Scorpio  | 8:51pm Eastern

Monday brings temporary clarity about desire and what you value during this retrograde review. 

Mercury and Venus snuggle up together offering insights about relationships, money, beauty, and desire. It’s the best moment of the retrograde for understanding what you truly want versus what you thought you wanted.

• Best for: Deep insights about desire during retrograde review, understanding what you value, seeing relationship dynamics clearly, reconsidering what you want.
• Potential Challenges: Clarity that passes quickly, difficulty communicating insights even when accurate, temporary understanding that's hard to act on.

Tuesday 11/25

• ☽ at 29° 17' Capricorn △ ♅ at 29° 17' Taurus | 3:51am Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 26‘ Capricorn ✳ ♆ at 29° 26‘ Pisces | 4:09am Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 4:09am - 5:15am Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Aquarius | 5:15am Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♇ at 01° 47‘ Aquarius  | 8:44am Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 42‘ Aquarius ✳ ☉ at 03° 42‘ Sagittarius | 12:27pm Eastern

Tuesday is steady and productive with an undercurrent of intensity. Work gets done and focus is strong, but power dynamics surface more easily. There's a capacity for cutting through obstacles and getting to what matters.

• Best for: Steady work, productive progress on difficult tasks, focus that cuts through surface issues, getting things done.
• Potential Challenges: Power struggles, obsessive focus, emotional intensity in interactions, control issues.

Wednesday 11/26

• ♀︎ at 24° 46‘ Scorpio △ ♃ at 24° 46‘ Cancer | 11:31am Eastern
• ☽ at 16° 07‘ Aquarius ✳ ♂︎ 16° 07‘ Sagittarius | 12:20pm Eastern
• ♀︎ at 25° 09‘ Scorpio △ ♄ at 25° 09‘ Pisces | 6:47pm Eastern
• ☽ at 21° 20‘ Aquarius □ ☿ at 21° 20‘ Scorpio | 10:12pm Eastern

Wednesday desire gets strong support from both expansion and structure. 

What you want flows more easily and commitments made now are more likely to last. This is good for pursuing pleasure, making financial decisions, or deepening connections with both generosity and maturity backing you.

• Best for: Making commitments, going after what you want, spending on quality, connections that have staying power.
• Potential Challenges: Overcommitting, overindulgence, saying yes to too much.

Thursday 11/27

• ☽ at 25° 46‘ Aquarius □ ♀︎ at 25° 46‘ Scorpio | 6:31am Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 11‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 29° 11‘ Taurus | 12:53pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 12:53pm - 2:23pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Pisces | 2:23pm Eastern
• ♄ ▻ Direct at 25° 09‘ Pisces | 10:51pm Eastern

Thursday Saturn stations direct and limitations feel especially heavy. 

Responsibility is unavoidable, boundaries are enforced, and reality checks are more abundant than usual. This is a serious day where consequences become clear and there's no escaping what needs to be handled. The weight of obligation is more visible and harder to ignore.

• Best for: Accepting responsibility, honoring limitations, serious work, facing consequences, building structure.
• Potential Challenges: Feeling overwhelmed by obligation, restrictions that feel oppressive, heaviness, difficulty finding relief.

But it’s not all bad, with Saturn stationing direct at 10:51 pm eastern, delays that have been dragging things out finally lift. Commitments you've been reconsidering can move forward. Whatever structure you've been reviewing during the retrograde can now be put into action.

• Best for: Moving forward on commitments, implementing what you reviewed, building structure that lasts.
• Potential Challenges: Responsibility that was easier to ignore during retrograde, disruption early in the day, restlessness.

Friday 11/28

• 🌓 First Quarter Moon | 1:58 am Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ☊ at 14° 20‘ Pisces  | 4:32pm Eastern
• ☽ at 17° 56‘ Pisces □ ♂︎ at 17° 56‘ Sagittarius  | 10:58pm Eastern

Friday emotions get amplified and actions become more scattered or aggressive. Whatever you're feeling gets bigger and energy moves erratically. This isn't a great day for anything requiring steady focus or careful coordination.

• Best for: Letting yourself feel what you feel, releasing frustration physically, accepting amplified emotions.
• Potential Challenges: Emotional overwhelm, scattered aggression, impulsive actions, difficulty maintaining steady course.

Saturday 11/29

• ☽ at 20° 43‘ Pisces △ ☿ at 20° 43‘ Scorpio | 3:54am Eastern
• ☽ at 24° 37‘ Pisces △ ♃ at 24° 37‘ Cancer |  10:45am Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♄ at 25° 09‘ Pisces  | 11:42am Eastern
• ☿ ▻ Direct at 20° 42‘ Scorpio | 12:38pm Eastern
• ☽ at 28° 53‘ Pisces △ ♀︎ at 28° 53‘ Scorpio | 6:12pm Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 05‘ Pisces ✳ ♅  at 29° 05‘ Taurus | 6:32pm Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♆ at 29° 24‘ Pisces  | 7:05pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 7:05pm - 8:07pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Aries | 8:07pm Eastern
• ♀︎ at 29° 05‘ Scorpio ☍ ♅ at 29° 05‘ Taurus | 9:48pm Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 53‘ Aries  ✳ ♇ at 01° 53‘ Aquarius | 11:21pm Eastern

Saturday Mercury stations direct and retrograde issues peak. Communication and transportation are at their most unreliable, messages get lost or mangled and confusion is at a maximum. Don't expect things to immediately improve just because the station happens. Mercury is stuck and so is everything it touches.

Relationships also face disruption. Attraction becomes erratic, connections shift without warning, and sudden changes in desire happen unexpectedly. This can bring exciting new attractions or abrupt endings.

• Best for: Waiting it out, accepting maximum confusion, breaking free from constraining relationships, exciting new attractions.
• Potential Challenges: Peak communication chaos, messages that go spectacularly wrong, maximum retrograde confusion, sudden relationship endings, unpredictable desire.

Sunday 11/30

• ♀︎ at 29° 24‘ Scorpio △ ♆ at 29° 24‘ Pisces | 3:48am Eastern
• ☽ at 08° 42‘ Aries  △ ☉ at 08° 42‘ Sagittarius | 10:59am Eastern
• ♀︎ ▻ Sagittarius | 3:13pm Eastern

Sunday boundaries in relationships and desire dissolve easily. It's hard to see people clearly or know what you want versus what feels romantic. Idealization comes naturally and fantasy is easy to mistake for reality. This is good for compassion and romance but terrible for making decisions about connection or spending.

Venus enters Sagittarius at 3:13 pm eastern, shifting things toward more freedom and less seriousness, but the dissolving boundaries from the morning set the tone.

• Best for: Compassion, romance, accepting ambiguity, creative connection, forgiveness.
• Potential Challenges: Idealizing people who don't match the fantasy, confusion about what you want, deception, boundaries that dissolve when they shouldn't, poor financial decisions. 

Until next time, my wish for you is firm boundaries that facilitate your wildest dreams. - Robin💋
