The Weekly Transit Astrology

This week the Sun is the star, involved in five of our six transits as it makes a bumpy exit out of Scorpio, Squaring the Moon, the North Node, Jupiter and Mars before it transits into Sagittarius. Some of these alignments have not met at these degrees in centuries, one of them since 1285. So we’re asking: what’s at 27° in your astrological code? And what are we afraid of when it comes to being ourselves?(07:22) The Sun in Scorpio Square the Moon in Aquarius 25°08’ at 3:47 AM PST on Tuesday, November 17.(12:33) The Sun in Scorpio Square the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 25° (Aries) – November 15 – 18 (Sunday – Wednesday) – Tuesday, November 17.(20:53) The Sun in Scorpio Square Jupiter in Leo 26° (Taurus) – November 16 – 19 (Monday – Thursday) – Wednesday, November 18.(29:22) Mars in Leo Trine Chiron Retrograde in Aries 27° (Gemini) – November 14 – 21 (Saturday – Saturday) – Thursday, November 19.June 10, 2025 – Mars in Leo Trine Chiron in Aries 26°November 19, 2026 – Mars in Leo Trine Chiron Retrograde in Aries 27°February 28, 2027 – Mars Retrograde in Leo Trine Chiron in Aries 27°(36:00) The Sun in Scorpio Square Mars in Leo 27° (Gemini) – November 17 – 20 (Tuesday – Friday) – Thursday, November 19.(42:16) The Sun in Sagittarius – November 21 – December 21The Sun transits through Sagittarius every year between November 21/22 and December 21 depending on what time and where you are in the world.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theweeklytransit.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Exclusive Content on Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join ⁠my Substack

This week we’re working with six transits, and Friday the 13th is the hinge: Mercury stations direct in Scorpio and Venus stations direct in Libra on the same day, something we couldn’t find anywhere else in the ephemeris. Around them, Jupiter in Leo opposes the North Node in Aquarius at 25°, Mars follows at the same degree, and then Mars meets Jupiter in Leo, also at 25°. The question underneath all of it is what the heart has been holding during these retrogrades, and whether we’re willing to release the drama long enough to look at the facts. What’s at 25° in your astrological code?(05:07) Venus Retrograde in Libra Sextile Mars in Leo 23° (Aquarius) – November 7 – 12 (Saturday – Thursday) – Monday, November 9.May 18 – Venus in Cancer Sextile Mars in Taurus 00° (Double Both Signs)November 9 – Venus Retrograde in Libra Sextile Mars in Leo 23° (Aquarius)December 12 – Venus in Scorpio Sextile Mars in Virgo 05° (Leo)(16:21) Jupiter in Leo Opposite the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 25° (Aries) – November 5 – 19 (Thursday – Thursday) – Wednesday, November 11.In the last 200-years Jupiter in Leo has only opposed the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius three times:July 9, 1860 – Jupiter in Leo Opposite the North Node in Aquarius 2°September 1, 1896 – Jupiter in Leo Opposite the North Node in Aquarius 24°September 18, 1990 – Jupiter in Leo Opposite the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 6°This occurs three times within the next year.

This week we’re working with four transits, and while it’s a lighter week, Venus and Mercury are slowing down to end their Retrogrades, so things may get a little crunchy. Venus Retrograde in Libra Sextiles Jupiter in Leo on the same day the Sun meets Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio, a Conjunction that last occurred at this degree in 1947, and both land at the Pisces degree. Something is out of balance in our closest relationships, and we’re asking what it takes to initiate the conversation, and what we might bring as an offering when we do. Then Mars enters its Retrograde Shadow in Leo and the New Moon in Scorpio closes out the week. One question before we begin: what is at 16° in your astrological code? We’ll get to it later in the show.(09:02) Venus Retrograde in Libra Sextile Jupiter in Leo 24° (Pisces) – October 31 – November 9 (Saturday – Monday) – Wednesday, November 4.August 17 – Venus in Libra Sextile Jupiter in Leo 10° (Capricorn)November 4 – Venus Retrograde in Libra Sextile Jupiter in Leo 24° (Pisces)November 28 – Venus in Libra Sextile Jupiter in Leo 26° (Taurus)(25:20) The Sun Conjunct Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio 12° (Pisces) – November 3 – 5 (Tuesday – Thursday) – Wednesday, November 4.The last time the Sun and Mercury met up at 12° in Scorpio was November 5, 1947.

This week we're working with five transits, and three of them we've already felt once before. Venus and Mercury are both retrograde, so we're circling back to conversations that started in September. We open the week naked in the town square with the Sun in Scorpio Square Pluto in Aquarius, then sit with the tension of Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio Square Mars in Leo. And we arrive at the question of the week: what is at 27° in your astrological code?(08:34) The Sun in Scorpio Square Pluto in Aquarius 03° (Gemini) – October 24 – 27 (Saturday – Tuesday) – Monday, October 26.October 24, 2025 - 1° (Aries)October 26, 2026 - 3° (Gemini)October 28, 2027 - 4° (Cancer)October 29, 2028 - 6° (Virgo)October 30, 2029 - 8° (Scorpio)November 1, 2030 - 9° (Sagittarius)November 3, 2031 - 11° (Aquarius)November 4, 2032 - 12° (Pisces)November 6, 2033 - 14° (Taurus)November 7, 2034 - 15° (Gemini)November 9, 2035 - 17° (Leo)November 10, 2036 - 18° (Virgo)November 12, 2037 - 20° (Scorpio)November 13, 2038 - 21° (Sagittarius)November 15, 2039 - 23° (Aquarius)November 16, 2040 - 24° (Pisces)November 17, 2041 - 26° (Taurus)November 19, 2042 - 27° (Gemini)November 21, 2043 - 29° (Leo)(18:46) Venus Retrograde in Libra Opposite Chiron Retrograde in Aries 28° (Cancer) – October 25 – 29 (Sunday – Thursday) – Wednesday, October 28.September 10 – Venus in Scorpio Opposite Chiron Retrograde in Taurus 00° (Scorpio/Taurus)October 28 – Venus Retrograde in Libra Opposite Chiron Retrograde in Aries 28° (Cancer)November 28 – Venus in Libra Opposite Chiron Retrograde in Aries 26° (Taurus)(34:47) Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio Square Mars in Leo 17° (Leo) – October 28 – 31 (Wednesday – Saturday) – Friday, October 30.October 2 – Mercury in Scorpio Square Mars in Leo 02° (Taurus)October 30 – Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio Square Mars in Leo 17° (Leo)December 9 – Mercury in Sagittarius Square Mars in Virgo 04° (Cancer)(46:10) Venus Retrograde in Libra Trine the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 27° (Gemini) – October 25 – November 1 (Sunday – Sunday) – Friday, October 30.September 9 – Venus in Libra Trine the North Node in Aquarius 29° (Leo)October 30 – Venus Retrograde in Libra Trine the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 27° (Gemini)November 23 – Venus in Libra Trine the North Node Retrograde in Aquarius 24° (Pisces)(1:01:12) The Sun in Scorpio Square the Moon in Leo 09°25' (Sagittarius) at 12:28 PM PST on Sunday, November 1.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theweeklytransit.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Exclusive Content on Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join ⁠my Substack

Scorpio is the most vilified Sign, which makes it the most vulnerable. After a stranger threatened to cut me in half over a clip about the Scorpion, I make the case for the creature itself: six qualities of the Scorpion, and why I don't need an Eagle.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theweeklytransit.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Exclusive Content on Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join ⁠my Substack
