Why This Moment Matters

Between November 18 and November 30, we enter an intense threshold of energetic recalibration — a time of piercing clarity, spiritual accountability, and a deep invitation to choose a new way of being. This is the window described in the episode as a “crescendo,” calling us into radical honesty and the courage to release limiting beliefs.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, uncertain, or held hostage by old stories — this blog (and the episode) serves as a map: a way to engage with the cosmic tides and step into greater aligned freedom.

This blog accompanies Soul Sessions with Amanda Rieger Green – November Astrology Part 3, offering deeper insight, practical integration, and a spiritual roadmap for the weeks ahead.

🌑 Key Astrological Moves & Their Spiritual Invitations

Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio — piercing clarity & rewiring beliefs

When Mercury dips back into Scorpio, the mind stops skirting around the edges. It demands truth. In this transit, hidden or fuzzy beliefs that keep you stuck may finally rise to awareness. It’s a powerful moment to shine light on subconscious patterns and begin the rewiring process.

The Scorpio New Moon (Nov 20) — the “Choice Moon”: authenticity or shadow?

This New Moon is cast as a reality reset — a cosmic portal urging us to choose between living from our true selves or staying swallowed by the shadow of fear, old conditioning, and limiting stories. The question becomes: will you choose authenticity? Will you allow yourself to be catapulted into your soul’s truth?

Saturn stations direct in Pisces (Nov 27) — spiritual accountability & truth-telling

As Saturn stations direct, the cosmos pushes us to hold integrity with our inner life. This is a time for radical honesty about addiction, unconscious beliefs, self-delusion, and spiritual complacency. It may feel heavy, but it’s an essential purging — a clearing out the unconscious residues so you can stand in your sovereignty.

Sun & Venus entering Sagittarius — reclaiming joy & expansion

After the purge, the cosmic current lifts. With Sun and Venus moving into Sagittarius, there’s a gentle yet potent return of lightness, adventure, hope, and joy. This shift offers a soft reminder: once we release what no longer serves, we create space for expansive possibility.

What This Means for Your Inner Work & Spiritual Practice

Shadow work & belief clearing — Use this transit as a portal to revisit beliefs that have been buried in your psyche. Ask yourself: Which stories am I still carrying that no longer align? What fears are holding me small?
Honest self-assessment — Saturn’s direct station invites a grounded look at your spiritual life: habits, dependencies, delusions, patterns of avoidance. It’s a time to call yourself in — not with shame, but with compassionate clarity.
Soul-led renewal — The Scorpio New Moon + Sabturn pull you through a powerful door. When you walk through with awareness, you arrive in a new field of possibility, clarity, and authenticity.
Embodying joy & expansion — As planets shift into Sagittarius, there’s cosmic support for reclaiming lightness, hope, freedom, and vibrancy. Let yourself feel alive again.

How to Work with This Energy (Rituals, Reflection & Intentions)

Ritual for believing release — Write down beliefs or stories you’re ready to release. Burn or bury the paper as a symbolic letting go. Invite a prayer or intention for clarity.
Shadow-to-light journaling — Under Saturn’s influence, journal what comes up: fears, patterns, addictions, self-judgments. Bring compassionate honesty — this is spiritual accountability, not self-punishment.
New-moon manifestation meditation — On or near Nov 20, sit in silence or under the night sky. Visualize who you want to be after this reset. Feel the new self emerging, free from old limitations.
Joy-invocation & expansion practice — With Sun/Venus moving into Sagittarius, cultivate practices that remind your body & soul what joy feels like: dance, singing, laughing with friends, moving through nature, dreaming big.

Final Call: Choose Your Path Consciously

This is a powerful transit window — one that doesn’t always happen with such clarity. The choice is real. You can stay asleep to old patterns — or you can wake up into raw truth, sovereignty, and soul-aligned joy.

The invitation is here. The cosmic keys are in your hands.

If you feel called: stay with the discomfort. Sit with the truths. Breathe through the purge. And walk forward into your light.
