Mercury is retrograde—slow down and consider your plans before acting on them, and make room for possible technical difficulties because they are more than likely to show up! And, as we approach the end of the year, the November 30th New Moon in Sagittarius is an invitation to align with your vision of what’s possible while staying honest about the consequences of your actions or inaction.

Make sure that you don’t alienate other people when you need them most this week, Aries. Tap into your strength and courage to help you explore possibilities beyond the first and worst ones in front of you. Strive to get free and help others get free alongside you this week.

It’s okay to be at your limit. This week, you may find yourself feeling done, frustrated, or just plain exhausted. Giving yourself the gift of relaxation truly is a gift. It’s important that you honor your needs and make space for rest so that you can properly reflect on what needs your attention and how you can best go about giving it.

Don’t resist the process of things falling apart, even when it’s scary. As everything changes it’s only natural that you too would change. This week, you may feel like you need to scramble to keep up, but the truth is that you probably don’t. Give yourself the gift of tapping in emotionally so that you might be able to navigate discomfort and instability with grace and care, Twin Star.

If you can stay grounded and present in the here and now you’ll have a much easier time coping with the stresses you’re likely to be dealing with this week. You may find that the things that make the people close to you happy are at cross purposes with what you want or need. Instead of assuming that what happens now is an indicator of what’s yet to come, strive to deal only with what’s directly in front of you, Moonchild.

This isn’t a good time to try to control your feelings or your circumstances. Instead, tap into your ability to explore what’s possible and expand your capacity to show up. You have all of the resources inside of you already, Leo, you simply need to trust yourself enough to tap in and use them. Don’t be in such a rush to prove yourself that you skate the surface instead of going as deep as you’re capable of going this week.

If you can find some space in your days to recalibrate your energy so that you may reconnect to yourself, you will be so much better for it, Virgo. The best way to navigate through the decisions that are in front of you is by listening to your own voice, which is hard to do when you are taking in too much information or grappling with perfectionism. Explore what’s possible instead of what’s “right” this week.

This Mercury retrograde is a good time to reflect on your relationship to anxiety. When you have circular, obsessive, or panicked thinking, how do you respond? This week, it’s wise for you to notice your habits surrounding your response to this kind of stress. If you can, strive to experiment with different coping mechanisms that support your short-term discomfort and long-term welfare.

As you let go of old ways of being you expand your potential for growth, which is a really wonderful thing. At the same time, you can rattle the status quo which can make both you and other people really uncomfortable. Don’t confuse growing pains with problems that need to be fixed, Scorpio. While they both feel quite similar in the short-term, in the big picture they are meaningfully different. The pain of growth is to be invited in, even though it hurts just as much as the pain of falling apart.

On the 30th there will be a New Moon in your sign making this a particularly fertile time for you to set intentions, Sagittarius. This time around, in particular, is a good time for you to explore what boundaries you can set and maintain that will help you to get more free. It may sound counterintuitive if you think of boundaries as a way to keep people and things out; in truth, boundaries are meant to hold you together so that you can navigate the world more openly.

There’s only so much that’s in your control, Capricorn. This week, you may find yourself stressed out and fixating on the very things that you cannot change, and that is obviously not a productive place to be. Do your best to get grounded so that you can tap into your agency. There are things that you can do to improve matters, and if you can focus your energy on them, you will not only do better but you will feel better too.

Let the things that aren’t working in your life point you towards what needs your attention, Aquarius. You may need to tap in and really listen to your inner voice in order to determine what the healthiest way to engage with your situation is. While it is wise to collaborate and consult with others, ultimately the energies of the November 30th New Moon are urging you to access your own knowing and to cultivate healthy boundaries with yourself and others from there.

This week may confront you with some confusing circumstances. On the one hand, it is wise for you to let go of trying to control things and to let things unfold; on the other, you are on call to deal head-on with some upsetting circumstances and to act in ways that reflect your boundaries and what you care about. Allow yourself the space you need to sort through your impulses, feelings, and needs so that you can show up when it would be easier to check out, Pisces.
