Subject: Mercury Retrograde ✨ Daily Astrological Forecast ✨Neptune in Aries

Dear Stargazers,


Mercury changes direction today, so if the energy feels a bit unsteady during the next few days, it's the lingering effect of the retrograde station.


Turning to the week ahead, if you're not mindful of Wednesday's impulsive energy, it could spell trouble for some of you. As for the rest of the days, the more consciously you work with the influences, the greater the benefits you'll reap from them.


It's all below, so let's get to it!

MERCURY STATIONS RETROGRADE IN SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 9 - SR at 6°52' ♐️

Nov. 18 - Rx into ♏️

Nov. 29 - SD at 20°42' Scorpio ♏️


Although Mercury will be retrograde from November 9 - 29, it only spends 10 days in Sagittarius before retrograding back into Scorpio.


During this brief period, Mercury encourages us to review our belief systems. While topics of religion, politics and educational philosophies may immediately come to mind, what we believe constitutes happiness and success is a core belief that deserves our attention.


If we use this time of introspection wisely, we may discover an inner truth about one or more of our beliefs that will not only lead to greater self-understanding when Mercury retrogrades into Scorpio, but will serve as a catalyst for change after it stations direct in this transformational sign.

DAILY ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST

NOVEMBER 10 - 16, 2025
Dates/times are given in EST


Monday, November 10


If you need to need to finish a project or meet any type of deadline this morning, you can count on the efficient influence of the transiting Virgo Moon to help you. However, you will still need to be mindful of Mercury retrograde to ensure you don't overlook an important detail.


After a very brief void (12:23 PM - 12:35 PM), the transiting enters Leo, a fiery sign that could infuse the afternoon with a bit of drama. While butting heads with someone is a possibility, there is also a strong chance that the sparks that fly will be of a romantic nature


Tuesday, November 11 (Veteran's Day - USA)


If you are off from work today, the fun-loving energy of the transiting Leo Moon is likely to inspire you to spend part of the the day pursuing your heart's desire. Whether that turns out to be working on a creative passion, shopping the Veteran Day sales, cuddling up with special someone or something else entirely different, your heart as well as your mind will be in it.


Wednesday, November 12


Given today's Mercury Rx-Mars conjunction, it's important to listen closely to what is being said to you, as well as to express yourself clearly and succinctly.


Although this Mercury-Mars aspect can help you think on your feet, it can also promote impulsive responses, which may mean spilling secrets or interrupting others when they speak. Likewise, if you find yourself in a disagreement with someone, this influence suggests one or both of you are likely to have a shorter fuse, which in turn could result in angry words.


On that note it's not only important to think before you speak, but to pause (and in some instances perhaps count to 10) as well.


After a brief void (6:31 PM - 6:53 PM), the transiting Moon enters Virgo, which introduces a grounded energy .


Thursday, November 13


This will be a very productive day provided you put yourself first and concentrate on the tasks at hand, but if you allow yourself to be distracted by other people's issues, you're likely to find yourself scrambling to get everything finished by the end of the day.


Friday, November 14


This is an excellent day for organizing and planning, as well as for working on anything that requires precision. The only caveat is that if you're not careful, your desire to get something done right could turn into a quest for perfection that will cause you to fall behind schedule. However, as long as you avoid falling into this trap, you should end the day on a happy note.


 Saturday, November 15


After a brief void (4:10 AM - 4:45 AM), the transiting Moon enters Libra, a lunar influence that makes this an excellent day for activities where aesthetics play a major role, such as salon appointments, art exhibits, decorating, shopping, branding and product design.


On a similar note, if you plan to dine out later, the ambiance of the restaurant will be important, and if you happen to be planning a vacation, the availability of certain amenities may influence your choice of hotel.


Sunday, November 16


As today's transiting Libra Moon sails through the day without making a single aspect to another planet, you have pure unadulterated Libra energy at your disposal.


Given that Libra is all about relationships, this is an excellent day to spend quality time with someone near and dear to you. And while it may very well be of romantic nature, it can just as easily be of a professional or platonic one.


Since beauty is also high on Libra's list, this is a good day for self-care that enhances your appearance, as well as any for activity that enhances the attractiveness of your home or your wardrobe. Since beauty takes many forms, some of you could be inspired to create a work or art or enjoy the splendor of nature.

Neptune in Aries


When I heard President Putin's claim that Russia had successfully tested the Poseidon drone, an underwater drone that can create a radioactive tsunamis, three thoughts immediately came to mind:

  1. Is it true?

  2. How far am I from the Coast?

  3. Neptune in Aries

While we only have Putin's word for it, I'm sad to say it makes astrological sense.


Initially announced several years ago, this nuclear-capable warhead named is both fitting and chilling in light of the lengthy Neptune in Aries cycle that begins on January 26, 2026.


Poseidon is the Greek name for Neptune, the God of the Sea, and when it returns to Aries (it paid a brief visit to the sign from March 30 - October 22), it will remain there until March 2039.


This isn't the first time Aries took an outer planet to war. The U.S. Civil War began shortly after Neptune entered Aries, and more recently, Uranus in Aries (2010-2018) coincided with cyberattacks and incidents of global cyber warfare.


Aries is the Warrior of the zodiac, and whether it's viewed as a conquering hero or a plundering invader depends upon which side you're on.


Hopefully, this time around the world's leaders will be on the side of peace.

Coming Up


I'll be back next Sunday with more astrological guidance, including how to make the most of the transformative riches infused into the upcoming Scorpio New Moon.


Until next time,


May Jupiter's blessings be your constant companion,
