Welcome back. Here's what the cosmos has cooking for you over the next few weeks — and the crystals to help you make the most of it.
The Next 12 Weeks
Week of November 9 – 15
●New Moon in Scorpio
What's happening
New moons are seeds. This one falls in Scorpio — the sign that lives closest to the underworld, to secrets, to what's hidden beneath the surface. It's a powerful moment to set intentions around anything that requires depth: healing, transformation, intimacy, truth-telling. Scorpio doesn't do shallow. Whatever you plant here will need to be tended honestly, but what grows can be remarkable — rooted in something real.
RitualOn the evening of November 9th, hold Rainbow Moonstone in your palm and write down one thing you're ready to release — a grudge, a role, a story about yourself. Fold the paper away from you and tuck it in a drawer. In two weeks, open it and see what has actually shifted.

☿Mercury Stations Direct
in Scorpio
What's happening
Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, ends its three-week backward journey and begins moving forward again — this time through the depths of Scorpio. What's been murky starts to clarify. Conversations that stalled can finally finish. Scorpio's influence means the things surfacing aren't small talk — they're truths that have been waiting, submerged. This is less a fresh start and more a slow return to the surface, with something real in your hands.
RitualOn the evening of November 13th, write down one message you've held back — unsent, unspoken, or abandoned mid-draft. Read it aloud once. Then hold kyanite at your throat and decide: send it, save it, or release it. Whatever you choose, choose it clearly. Burn or delete what no longer needs to be carried.
♀Venus Stations Direct
in Libra
What's happening
Venus has been retrograde — moving backward through Libra, the sign she rules — since early October. Relationships, values, and matters of the heart have been under review: complicated, tender, unresolved. Now she stations direct, planting her feet and beginning to move forward again. Whatever has felt stalled in love or in your sense of what you truly want — it starts to find its current again. Not all at once, but the direction has shifted.
RitualOn Friday evening, hold Rhodochrosite over your chest and think of one relationship that felt stuck or strained while Venus was retrograde. Say aloud: "I'm ready to move forward." Then write that person's name on paper and place the stone on top overnight. In the morning, decide one small action you'll take toward them.
Week of November 16 – 22
☌Mars Conjunction Jupiter
Mars in Leo · Jupiter in Leo
What's happening
Two of the sky's most expansive forces meet in Leo's bold, radiant sign. Mars brings drive and desire; Jupiter brings abundance and belief. When they join, ambition gets amplified — sometimes dramatically. This is the cosmos handing you a megaphone. The question isn't whether you have enough energy; it's whether you're pointed at something worthy of it. Grand gestures feel natural now. So does overreach. Aim big, but aim well.
RitualOn the morning of November 16th, hold garnet in your fist and name one bold move you've been sitting on. Say it out loud — not in your head. Then set a single, specific first step you'll take before the week ends. Place the stone somewhere visible as a reminder.
☉Sun Enters Sagittarius
What's happening
The Sun leaves deep, still Scorpio and rides into Sagittarius — the sign of the archer, the wanderer, the eternal student. Things open up. After weeks of intensity and introspection, there's a shift toward movement, optimism, and the bigger picture. Questions replace conclusions. Humor returns. Sagittarius season invites you to look beyond what's immediately in front of you and remember that life is, at its best, an adventure worth following with curiosity.
RitualOn the evening of November 22nd, hold ruby in your non-dominant hand and speak one place you've been wanting to go — out loud, to the room. Then write it down with a departure month next to it. Pin the paper somewhere you'll see it daily. The season of going begins now.
Week of November 23 – 29
○Full Moon in Gemini
What's happening
Full moons are moments of culmination — things come to light, come to a head, or come to a close. This one lands in Gemini, the sign of language, connection, and the mind in motion. It illuminates the conversations you've been having, or avoiding. The threads you've been weaving. Something you've been thinking over gets its answer now, or at least its next chapter. Let it land.
RitualOn the evening of November 24th, hold lepidolite in your non-dominant hand and speak two truths out loud — one you share freely, one you rarely say. Notice which one costs more to say. Write that second truth down and tuck it under your pillow overnight. In the morning, decide if it's time to share it.
♂Mars Enters Virgo
What's happening
Mars, the planet of drive and action, moves out of bold Leo and into precise, detail-oriented Virgo. The energy shifts from grand gestures to careful, methodical work — the kind that actually gets things done. This is a season for refining, organizing, and fixing what's been broken. Mars in Virgo doesn't waste effort; it channels ambition into craft. Expect a pull toward getting your systems, habits, and daily life into better shape.
RitualOn the evening of November 25th, hold pyrite in your non-dominant hand and write a list of every task you've been circling without finishing. Circle the one that matters most. Set the stone on top of that name overnight. Tomorrow morning, start there — nothing else first.
△Uranus Trine Pluto
Uranus in Gemini · Pluto in Aquarius
What's happening
Two of the slowest-moving planets in the sky form a harmonious angle — Uranus sparking breakthroughs in curious Gemini, Pluto quietly dismantling and rebuilding in visionary Aquarius. A trine is the most cooperative relationship two planets can have. Here, the planet of sudden change and the planet of deep transformation are working *together*, not against each other. Expect ideas about the future — collective, technological, human — to feel suddenly more possible, more within reach.
RitualOn the morning of November 29, hold fluorite in your non-dominant hand and write down one outdated story you've been telling about who you are. Read it aloud once, then cross it out slowly. Let the rewrite come on its own. Keep fluorite somewhere visible for the rest of the week.
Week of Nov 30 – Dec 6
♀Venus Enters Scorpio
What's happening
Venus, the planet of love and desire, leaves airy Libra and descends into the deep waters of Scorpio. Where Libra kept things pleasant and balanced, Scorpio wants truth — the kind that lives beneath the surface. Attraction becomes more intense here, more magnetic, more complicated. Connections forged now tend to go somewhere real. It's a season for intimacy that costs something, and for discovering what you actually want when the polite version of wanting falls away.
RitualOn Friday evening, write down one thing you've been afraid to want from someone you love. Hold rhodochrosite over your chest and read the words aloud — just to yourself. Then fold the paper and place the stone on top of it. Leave it there until you're ready to act on what you wrote.
□Mars Square Uranus
Mars in Virgo · Uranus in Gemini
What's happening
Mars, the planet of action and drive, forms a tense right angle with Uranus, the planet of disruption and surprise. When these two clash, the energy is electric — and restless. Mars in precise, methodical Virgo wants to fix and refine; Uranus in quick, scattered Gemini wants to blow the whole plan up and try something new. Expect unexpected interruptions, sudden urges to break free, or plans that shift without warning. Move carefully, but stay flexible.
RitualOn the morning of December 4th, hold ruby fuchsite in your non-dominant hand and write down one impulsive urge you've been wrestling with. Don't act on it yet — just name it clearly on paper. Set the stone on top of the page and leave it there until evening before deciding your next move.
☿Mercury Enters Sagittarius
What's happening
Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, leaves the quiet precision of Scorpio and steps into wide-open Sagittarius. Where Scorpio wanted to dig deep and say exactly the right thing, Sagittarius wants to roam, to question, to speak before the thought is finished. Conversations get bigger and bolder. Ideas stretch toward the horizon. This is a wonderful time for philosophical debates, big-picture thinking, and honest — if occasionally blunt — exchanges.
RitualOn December 6th, take a piece of Amazonite and hold it while you write down one big, half-formed idea you've been circling but never said out loud. Speak it aloud once — just the raw version. Then carry the stone through the week and notice what new details arrive.
Week of December 7 – 13
●New Moon in Sagittarius
What's happening
New moons are seeds. This one falls in Sagittarius — the sign of adventure, belief, and the hunger to understand why we're here. It's an invitation to plant intentions around expansion: a trip you've been dreaming of, a philosophy you're ready to live more fully, a question worth chasing. Sagittarius asks you to aim further than feels safe. This is a good moment to let yourself want something bigger.
RitualOn the evening of December 8, step outside or near a window with lepidolite in your palm. Ask yourself: "What do I want to chase next?" Write down the first answer that comes — no editing. Tuck the paper under your pillow for three nights, then read it again.
♄Saturn Stations Direct
in Aries
What's happening
Saturn, the planet of structure and discipline, has spent months moving backward — a long audit of what you've been building. Now it stations direct in fiery, forward-leaning Aries. That slow review is over. Whatever lessons have been pressing on you around courage, initiative, and how you begin things are ready to be put to work. Expect a gradual but real sense of momentum returning — like a current that's been running against you finally turning in your favor.
RitualOn the evening of December 10th, hold Silver Sheen Obsidian in both hands and name one responsibility you've been resisting. Say it out loud. Then ask yourself: what's the smallest concrete step you can take this week? Write that step down and put the stone on top of the paper until it's done.
♆Neptune Stations Direct
in Aries
What's happening
Neptune, the planet of dreams and dissolution, has been drifting backward since July — softening boundaries, blurring edges, asking you to feel your way rather than see it. Now it pauses and turns forward again, this time in pioneering Aries. What had grown hazy may sharpen just slightly. The fog doesn't lift all at once, but a direction emerges — and with Aries' spark, there's new energy to move toward whatever vision has quietly been forming.
RitualOn the evening of December 12th, hold chrysocolla in both hands and ask yourself: "What truth was I swimming around this year instead of facing?" Write the first honest answer that surfaces. Fold the paper and tuck it under your pillow overnight. In the morning, decide one concrete step toward it.
♃Jupiter Stations Retrograde
in Leo
What's happening
Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, slows to a standstill and begins a months-long retrograde journey through bold, radiant Leo. Where it was pushing outward — encouraging growth, confidence, grand gestures — it now turns inward. This is a time to revisit what you're building, and why. The question isn't whether to dream big, but whether the dream is truly yours. Leo asks: is this ambition lit by genuine fire, or borrowed light?
RitualOn Saturday evening, sit in front of a mirror with topaz in your palm. Ask yourself: "Where have I been performing growth instead of living it?" Don't answer out loud — just hold the question. Set the stone on your dresser and leave the mirror uncovered overnight.
Week of December 21 – 27
☉Sun Enters Capricorn
What's happening
The Sun leaves restless Sagittarius and enters Capricorn on the longest night of the year — the winter solstice. Capricorn is the sign of structure, ambition, and the long view. This isn't the energy of fireworks; it's the energy of foundation-laying. As the light slowly returns after the solstice, there's something fitting about the Sun moving through the sign that understands how steady, patient effort builds something lasting. What are you actually building?
RitualOn the winter solstice evening, hold pyrite in your writing hand and list three concrete goals for the next three months — not wishes, actual steps. Read them aloud once. Place pyrite on top of the list and leave it there until January begins.
○Full Moon in Cancer
What's happening
Full moons are moments of culmination — things that have been building finally surface. This one falls in Cancer, the sign most at home with tenderness, memory, and belonging. Just days before the year turns, it illuminates what you need in order to feel safe and nourished. Old feelings may rise like tides. That's the point. Cancer asks you to honor what you feel, not manage it away — and to notice where home, in all its forms, is calling you back.
RitualOn the evening of December 23rd, hold selenite against your chest and think of one person you've been holding a quiet grudge toward. Say their name aloud once. Then set the stone on your windowsill in the moonlight overnight. In the morning, decide on one small, concrete way to soften that relationship.
☿Mercury Enters Capricorn
What's happening
Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, moves into Capricorn — the sign of structure, ambition, and the long view. Conversations get more deliberate. Ideas get tested against reality. This isn't a time for dreaming out loud; it's a time for thinking things through, making plans that could actually hold weight. A useful transit for getting clear on what matters and how, exactly, you intend to build it.
RitualOn Christmas morning, before the celebrations begin, sit quietly with Fluorite in your palm and write three professional goals you want locked in before the new year. Read them aloud once, slowly. Tuck the stone into your bag or pocket and carry it into every conversation you have today.
Week of January 4 – 10
♀Venus Enters Sagittarius
What's happening
Venus, the planet of love and desire, leaves the intensity of Scorpio and steps into Sagittarius's wide-open spaces. Where Scorpio wanted to go deep, Sagittarius wants to go *far* — new experiences, bigger tables, more laughter. Affection becomes adventurous. Attraction follows curiosity. This is a warm transit for friendships, travel, and any relationship that thrives on freedom and honesty. What you love, for now, wants room to roam.
RitualOn the evening of January 7th, hold rhodochrosite in your palm and write down one place in the world — or one experience — that still pulls at you. Speak it aloud. Then let the stone sit on your windowsill overnight, a small promise to yourself that love and adventure don't have to be separate things.
●New Moon in Capricorn
What's happening
New moons are seeds. This one falls in Capricorn — the sign of structure, ambition, and the long game. It's a quiet, serious energy, like standing at the base of a mountain and deciding, clearly, which path you'll take. The beginning of the year and the beginning of a lunar cycle arrive together here, making this a rare double threshold. Whatever you plant now wants to grow slowly, deliberately, and to last.
RitualOn the evening of January 7th, hold lepidolite in your non-dominant hand and write down one goal you've been treating as too ambitious. Beneath it, write the single next step. Fold the paper once and tuck it under your pillow. In the morning, take that one step before noon.
♂Mars Stations Retrograde
in Virgo
What's happening
Mars, the planet of drive and action, slows to a stop and begins a rare backward turn through detail-oriented Virgo. For the next several weeks, the energy that usually pushes things forward gets redirected inward. This isn't a time to force progress — it's a time to refine, revisit, and reconsider the work you've already begun. Think of it less as a stall and more as a sharpening. What you build during this period will be more precise for the pause.
RitualOn the evening of January 10th, hold red jasper in your non-dominant hand and write a list of every project or pursuit currently pulling at your energy. Circle the one that genuinely matters most. Set the rest aside — on paper and in practice. Keep red jasper on your desk as your reminder to focus.
Week of January 11 – 17
☿Mercury Enters Aquarius
What's happening
Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, moves into Aquarius — the sign of big ideas, collective vision, and intellectual independence. The mind wants to zoom out now, to think in systems and possibilities rather than details. Conversations get more conceptual, more curious, maybe a little more detached. It's a good stretch for thinking outside your usual framework, or connecting with people who see the world differently than you do.
RitualOn the evening of January 13th, hold fluorite in your non-dominant hand and write three unfiltered ideas you've been dismissing as too unconventional. Don't edit — just let them land on the page. Circle the one that surprises you most. Keep fluorite nearby for the week ahead.
⚹Uranus Sextile Neptune
Uranus in Gemini · Neptune in Aries
What's happening
Uranus and Neptune — the planets of revolution and dissolution — form a rare, harmonious sextile. Uranus sparks in curious Gemini, rewiring how we think and communicate; Neptune drifts in pioneering Aries, softening the edges of ambition and identity. Together, they open a quiet window: collective breakthroughs and collective dreams briefly flowing in the same direction. This isn't a dramatic clash — it's more like two rivers meeting, their currents briefly aligned, carrying something forward that neither could alone.
RitualBefore sleep on January 15th, hold scolecite in both hands and let your mind drift without chasing any single thought. When one image or idea surfaces naturally, write it down — one sentence only. Place the stone on your nightstand and check your note in the morning with fresh eyes.
Week of January 18 – 24
☉Sun Enters Aquarius
What's happening
The Sun leaves the structured, ambitious world of Capricorn and steps into Aquarius — the sign of the collective, the visionary, the slightly unconventional. Where Capricorn builds, Aquarius imagines. The energy shifts from *what must be done* to *what could be possible*. Expect a pull toward community, ideas, and the future. The things that make you different from everyone else? This season, those feel less like quirks and more like gifts.
RitualOn January 20th, write down one idea you've kept to yourself — something a little too strange or bold to say out loud. Hold llanite in your non-dominant hand while you read it back. Then say it aloud anyway, to an empty room. Tuck the paper somewhere you'll find it in a month.
