Word of the Day:
24:05 – On Sunday, HANGOVER is the word of the day. As the Sagittarius Sun completes its square to Neptune at 29 Pisces, the effects of excess or blurred boundaries may come into focus. The Sun’s shift into Capricorn brings a return to reality and accountability. Collectively, this is a sobering moment where responsibility takes center stage. What was once overlooked now feels harder to ignore.
25:52 – Monday’s word is NETWORK. As the Moon meets Pluto in Aquarius, group dynamics intensify. You may feel called to engage with communities that align more deeply with your values. Collectively, shifts within organizations, social networks, or systems may feel decisive or irreversible. Lines are drawn around belonging and trust.
27:09 – Tuesday's is ILLUMINATE. The waxing Crescent Moon highlights awareness, helping you see what is beginning to take shape. As Venus in Sagittarius squares Neptune at 29 Pisces, illusions fade. Collectively, realizations come through conversation, storytelling, or moments of honesty that cut through confusion. What was once idealized becomes easier to name.
27:52 – Wednesday's is COMMIT. Venus enters Capricorn, shifting attention from pleasure to permanence and from attraction to responsibility. You may feel ready to define what you are truly willing to invest in. Collectively, commitment replaces fantasy as endurance and reliability take precedence over excitement. What lasts matters more than what dazzles.
29:21 – Thursday's word is MERRY. The Moon and amplifying North Node connect in Pisces; compassion and emotional sensitivity deepen. This is a day for gentle joy, reflection, and meaningful connection. Collectively, kindness, generosity, and quiet togetherness feel more nourishing than spectacle. Small acts of care carry weight.
29:59 – Friday's is TRADE. As the Pisces Moon squares Mercury, emotions color conversations about exchange, value, and fairness. You may notice heightened sensitivity around what feels equitable or disappointing. Collectively, negotiations or misunderstandings reveal the emotional layers beneath practical decisions. Feelings influence outcomes.
30:44 – On Saturday, the word is GLADIATOR. The First Quarter Moon in Aries demands action, courage, and forward motion.

Word of the Day:

As the Moon enters Scorpio, emotions intensify and instincts sharpen. This energy may expose what someone hoped to keep concealed.
31:50 – Monday’s word is VEILED. The Balsamic Moon in Scorpio squaring Pluto uncovers what has been brewing beneath the surface. You may feel exposed, pressured, or aware of something shifting behind the scenes. This veil thinning invites honesty about power dynamics or emotional undercurrents. Sensitivity is high, so gentleness goes far.
33:23 – Tuesday's is BOUNDARIES. The Sun in Sagittarius squaring Saturn in Pisces brings a moment to clarify limits. You may feel torn between compassion and self-protection. This transit encourages firm yet kind choices that support your well-being. A simple no may restore balance.

36:31 – Thursday's word is INDULGENCE. Venus in Sagittarius trining Chiron warms the heart and softens recent edges. You may feel drawn to sweetness, pleasure, or emotional openness. Mercury’s role in the Hammer of Thor pattern brings truth-telling that feels freeing. Enjoy the moment without losing your center.
38:14 – Friday's is PARTY. The Sagittarius New Moon invites renewal, celebration, and fresh possibility. The energy is loud, bright, and eager for connection. The Moon squaring Neptune heightens revelry and fantasy before Capricorn brings grounding later in the evening. Enjoy but stay aware.

People may feel dramatic or reactive as the Moon opposes Pluto, so give space for big feelings.
22:44 – Monday’s word is POSTPONE. Mars square Saturn slows your momentum, so simplify plans and expect delays. Collectively, this tension may create impatience and unexpected blocks in travel or communication.

Word of the Day:
20:14 – On Sunday, SETTLEMENT is the word of the day. Venus connects with Neptune before entering Sagittarius, softening emotional edges after recent tension. You may find it easier to forgive yourself or others and move into clearer emotional territory. People collectively lean toward reconciliation and calmer resolutions. Conversations settle as compassion opens the door to peace.
21:19 – Monday’s word is ENTHUSIAM. The Aries Moon activates Chiron and Jupiter, helping you release lingering irritations from the holiday. Fire energy lifts your spirit and gives you motivation to reengage with life. People feel lighter and more energized today.

23:21 – Tuesday's is BONUS. Venus sextiles Pluto, bringing deeper awareness of financial or relational truths. This aspect may offer an opportunity, realization, or benefit that feels earned. Collectively, people may receive good news or see rewarding shifts in agreements or structures. There’s a heightened awareness of value and fairness.
24:31 – Wednesday's is INHERITANCE. The Taurus Moon opposes Mercury, prompting reflection about emotional or material legacies.

Bonus episode for November 26, 2025:
In this illuminating Cosmic Conversation, Celeste sits down with sound healer Melissa Felsenstein of Inner Sounds Meditation to explore how to stay grounded, open-hearted, and intentional during one of the year’s most emotionally charged passages.
Together, they navigate the emotional tides stirred up by Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, a powerful Grand Water Trine, and Saturn’s turn direct – all arriving just as the Sun shifts into uplifting Sagittarius season.
Celeste brings the astrological wisdom; Melissa brings the nervous-system support. They discuss how these transits reveal truth, heighten sensitivity, expose family dynamics, and magnify joy or overwhelm – depending on how consciously we work with the energy. You’ll hear practical strategies for emotional protection, connection, and self-regulation during holiday gatherings.
The episode culminates in a deep 30-minute therapeutic sound bath with crystal bowls and planetary gongs tuned to Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Mercury, and Neptune – designed to cleanse the throat chakra, settle the nervous system, and strengthen your holiday intentions.
Join Celeste and Melissa for a beautiful resource for anyone craving grounding, clarity, or emotional renewal.

Word of the Day:
26:00 – On Sunday, CRUSADER is the word of the day. Personal: With the Capricorn Moon and Sun sextile Pluto, you may feel fired up to defend your beliefs or challenge something that feels off. Channel this crusader energy into purposeful action rather than conflict. Collective: People may strongly identify with their worldview and react intensely when challenged. Expect bold opinions and fiery stances.
26:55 – Monday’s word is RECKONING. Personal: Mercury retrograde inconjunct Chiron and Mars square the Nodes bring a reckoning point that asks you to face something you’ve been avoiding. This is a moment to clarify your truth and release what no longer aligns. Collective: Others may feel pushed to confront reality or make overdue decisions. Emotional pressure can bring candor or conflict.
31:13 – Tuesday's is COLLECTIVE. Personal: With the Aquarius Moon and Venus inconjunct Chiron, you may feel tension in group dynamics or fixed opinions around you. Take a breath before reacting and remember the bigger picture. Collective: Families, groups, or teams may feel divided as differing viewpoints surface. The goal is cooperation, not competition.
32:19 – Wednesday's is FATE. Personal: Venus trine Jupiter and Saturn forms a Grand Trine in water, and you may feel emotional truths rising to the surface. With Moon square Mercury, the Three Fates energy asks you to spin, measure, and cut what no longer fits. Collective: People may reveal how they really feel, sometimes abruptly. Fate moments unfold through conversations and choices.
34:20 – Thursday's word is BLESSINGS. Personal: The Aquarius Moon squares Venus and Uranus before shifting into Pisces, bringing emotional spikes followed by sensitivity. Saturn stationing direct and the First Quarter Moon highlight blessings amid complexity. Collective: Big feelings, surprises, and revelations color the day as families gather. Gratitude may be tender or layered.
35:50 – Friday's is EMBRACE. Personal: The Moon meets the North Node and then squares Mars, stirring intuition and emotional intensity. This is a moment to embrace what’s arising rather than fight it. Collective: People may swing between tenderness and agitation as emotions rise and fall quickly.
36:21 – On Saturday, the word is UNRAVEL. Personal: The Moon meets Saturn, Mercury stations direct, and Venus opposes Uranus, creating an unraveling that reveals hidden truth. Let what loosens show you what needs release. Collective: Expect reversals, tech issues, financial surprises, and emotional overwhelm as threads come apart.

Astrology highlights for the week of November 16, 2025:
00:52 – The 2026 Astrology Predictions Event with Sarah L’Hrar and Tiffany Harelik is available as a recording for only $33 – it’s a 2.5 hour workshop packed with insights for the upcoming year!
01:37 – The 2026 Moon Mastery™ Lunar Planning Guide is your interactive companion for the year ahead. For only $22, this fully fillable digital planner is tailored to the actual Moon phases and eclipses of 2026 — helping you live each month with clarity, awareness, and intention.
This week's big three:
02:29 – On Tuesday, Mercury retrograde reenters Scorpio (November 18 – December 11).
07:49 – On Wednesday, we have a New Moon at 28 Scorpio!
13:54 – Sagittarius Season begins on Friday (November 21 – December 21).
16:54 – Check out Celeste’s astrology readings and cosmic coaching packages, which are personalized to meet your unique needs. And remember: You don’t need to know any astrology!
Word of the Day:
17:43 – On Sunday, SCOUT is the word of the day. Personal guidance: Scout your inner landscape. Notice where you have been afraid to turn on the flashlight in your own basement. Let curiosity guide you rather than fear. What do you need to see more clearly about your desires, debts, and power dynamics? Collective guidance: Hidden stories are being scouted out. Think of the Buffalo Bill image from Silence of the Lambs – the light flipping on in the dark. Media, investigators, and everyday people may shine lamps into systems that prefer the shadows. Pay attention to what is being exposed around law, ethics, and the abuse of power in governments and institutions.
19:04 – Monday’s word is SEPARATION. Personal guidance: Separation does not always mean failure. You may feel tension in partnerships or disappointment that something is not turning out as you hoped. This is a day to clarify boundaries and expectations. Distance or a pause may be medicine rather than rejection. Collective guidance: We may see literal and symbolic separations – high-profile breakups, companies splitting, political factions pulling farther apart. The Grand Trine in Water with the Sun in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn in Pisces can bring emotional overwhelm. Reach out if you or someone you love seems lost in the tide. This is a day when phone calls, therapy, and crisis support can save lives.
21:55 – Tuesday's is BOMBSHELL. Personal guidance: Bombshell energy is in the air. Mars in Sagittarius in tense aspect to Jupiter in Cancer amplifies reactions, while Venus in Scorpio in friction with Neptune in Pisces can expose secrets about money, sex, or loyalty. Surprising truths may drop into your lap. Commit to handling information with integrity rather than using it as a weapon. Collective guidance: Expect headlines about covert groups, shady finances, or exploitation coming to light. The Scorpio Moon squaring Saturn and Neptune in Pisces describes stories of bondage, deception, and systems that failed to protect vulnerable people. As Mercury reenters Scorpio at the 29th degree of crisis, voices of survivors and whistleblowers may rise. Listen closely, especially to the people whose stories were previously dismissed.
23:51 – Wednesday's is DISTRESS. Personal guidance: Distress does not mean you are powerless. Venus in Scorpio at a World Point trines the North Node in Pisces, while Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus and we have the New Moon at 28 Scorpio. Old trauma, betrayal, or fear around sex, money, or control may surface. Allow feelings to move through your body. This is a potent day to start therapy, do shadow work, or set intentions to heal from abuse and manipulation. Collective guidance: This is a high-alert day. Mercury opposite Uranus at 29 degrees can bring sudden news about sex trafficking, bribery, or hidden financial networks. The Sabian symbol of an Indigenous woman pleading for the lives of her children echoes themes of parents begging corrupt powers to protect the vulnerable. We may see distress signals from communities harmed by leaders, courts, or corporations that chose profits over people. Bear witness. Support survivors. Advocate when you can.
26:02 – Thursday's word is LIFEGUARD. Personal guidance: Lifeguard energy invites you to protect what is precious. Mercury cazimi at 28 Scorpio signals the death and rebirth of a story around your mind, money, or intimacy. This is powerful cord-cutting energy. You can ask spirit, your ancestors, or trusted allies for help as you let go of obsessions, toxic attachments, or revenge fantasies. Guard your own life force, especially around water, substances, and emotional extremes. Collective guidance: Mercury in the heart of the Sun in Scorpio while Uranus in Taurus sextiles Neptune in Pisces can describe both shocking disclosures about big money and water-related or earth-related crises. Deals, votes, and behind-the-scenes agreements around the release or suppression of explosive information may come to a head. We could see people in power trying to save themselves while the public demands accountability. This is a day to watch who acts like a lifeguard for the vulnerable and who is trying to keep them underwater.
28:40 – Friday's is TSUNAMI. Personal guidance: Tsunami emotions can crash in suddenly. Emotionally, something may break open. Give yourself outlets for intensity – movement, art, prayer, journaling. This wave wants motion, not repression. Collective guidance: This looks like an emotional and political tidal wave. Big news may erupt about the Epstein files, immigration raids, the military, athletes, or scandals involving sex, money, and power. The US chart is especially activated, so national identity, rage, and grief may surge. Markets or governments could wobble. People may act recklessly in the streets and online. Stay aware of your surroundings and keep your nervous system as calm as you can.
30:28 – On Saturday, the word is GIBBERISH. Personal guidance: Not everything you hear is truth. Thoughts and conversations may feel foggy, circular, or emotionally charged. Slow down and double-check facts. Do not assume you understand the whole story today. Collective guidance: This energy can show up as confusing statements from leaders, spin from institutions, or experts trying to make sense of sudden economic or governmental shifts. There may be news about health crises, speech or brain-related issues, or infrastructure breakdowns that affect communication. Miscommunication can be serious today, so if someone’s words or behavior suddenly do not make sense, take it as a cue to seek clarity or support.

Word of the Day:
25:20 – On Sunday, DELAYED is the word of the day. Personal Guidance: Mercury stations retrograde at 6 Sagittarius. Pad your schedule, back up devices, reread before you send, and gas up the car. If plans slip, pivot with grace. Collective Guidance: Expect system glitches, travel slowdowns, and mixed messages as the station imprints the week. Choose patience over push.
26:20 – Monday’s word is DRAMATIC. Personal Guidance: The Cancer Moon meets Jupiter. Big feelings, bigger appetite for comfort. When the Leo Moon takes over, express from the heart but keep your feet on the ground. Collective Guidance: Grand gestures pop, then the Leo Moon opposes Pluto and squares Venus in Scorpio. Spotlight meets power plays. Keep warmth, skip theatrics.
28:15 – Tuesday's is HEARTACHE. Personal Guidance: Jupiter stations retrograde at 25 Cancer and the Last Quarter Moon lands at 20 Leo. Release ego scripts that keep your heart guarded. Rest is medicine. Collective Guidance: Crossroads energy. Big announcements may stir emotions. Choose dignity over drama while the Moon wanes.
29:24 – Wednesday's is CREDIBILITY. Personal Guidance: Mercury retrograde conjoins Mars at 6 Sagittarius. Brain on fire. Cool the tongue, check your facts, drive defensively. Collective Guidance: Claims get louder as Leo’s late degrees square Uranus before the Moon shifts to Virgo. Truth matters more than volume.
32:21 – Thursday's word is BESEIGED. Personal Guidance: The Virgo Moon is caught between Mercury retrograde and Mars in Sagittarius. If you feel squeezed, step back, breathe, and simplify your next action. Collective Guidance: Mediate less, observe more. The Moon brushes the South Node. Drain the noise, not your energy.
33:23 – Friday's is CLOUT. Personal Guidance: The Virgo Moon opposes Saturn in Pisces. Earned authority is greater than borrowed importance. Do the humble thing well. Collective Guidance: Titles won’t carry shaky structures. Substance, accountability, and timelines win the day.
34:06 – On Saturday, the word is SIESTA. Personal Guidance: The Balsamic Moon at 9 Libra aligns with Diadem, the Crown Star, inviting grace, beauty, and spiritual sovereignty. Nap on it. Collective Guidance: Restore balance. Curate peace, refine plans, and let diplomacy lead while the light wanes.

Rest, hydrate, and let tears be medicine. Collective: Communities process losses and take stock after water-themed events; compassion leads the way.
32:33 – Monday’s word is WONDERLAND. Personal: Mars at 29 Scorpio trine Neptune heightens imagination and emotional intensity. Create, sculpt, sing, or journal to channel the magic into form.

29:08 – Friday's is CHAOTIC. Personal: The Pisces Moon squares Uranus as Mercury continues to oppose it, heightening restlessness and surprise. Stay flexible and release what you can’t control.
