On November 28 and 29, two major retrograde periods wrap up at the same time: Saturn and Mercury. And even though we all joke about “Mercury retrograde,” the truth is that these cycles genuinely affect the pace of life, the clarity of our decisions, our focus, and even our inner discipline.
🌱 November 28 — Saturn Turns Direct
The months of Saturn’s retrograde often feel like a time of “frozen processes”: everything moves slower, old responsibilities resurface, and we’re pushed to reorganize the structure of our lives.
