Welcome to a new week, the final week of November, with much energy to discuss.

Yes, I will first discuss the final Mercury retrograde happening this year.

Then, I will discuss other transits and get into the week-ahead reading and the Sagittarius New Moon reading towards the end of the week.

On November 25th, Mercury goes retrograde in Sagittarius until December 15th.

As Mercury starts to move in retrograde in Sagittarius, you may start taking a closer look at your beliefs and how you are communicating them.

This period encourages you to reflect on your personal truth and how well you express that.

Misconceptions or communication delays may arise, and it will be necessary to be even more patient and flexible.

Looking back at old ideas or projects can bring great insight.

It's a great time to reflect on your long-term goals and the philosophies that inspire your journey.

Take this moment to reflect on how you learn, take in information, and reassess whether the knowledge serves your greater vision.

On November 27th, the Sun in Sagittarius trines Mars in Leo.

When the Sun in Sagittarius forms a harmonious trine with Mars in Leo, you can expect an uplifting surge of energy and enthusiasm.

This transit reinforces confidence and inspires the taking of action regarding creative issues.

The capability for leadership comes into full bloom at this time, and you can easily inspire others and help them to be motivated.

This is a very appropriate time to start projects related to your desires and concepts since willpower and charisma are the maximum.

Now, harness this vibrant energy to go after whatever gets you pumped up, whether social, personal, or professional.

Finally, on November 30th, there is a New Moon in Sagittarius.

The Sagittarius New Moon offers an opportunity to set your sights on broad horizons and expand into new ideas and experiences.

This moon is the time to plant those seeds of intention, especially about learning, travel, and personal growth.

Reflect on what you would like to expand in your life and set intentions for what will align with your soul's highest vision.
