#340-"The World Enters Us in Waves"--Week of November 24, 2025

This week brings a quiet but potent shift. Both Saturn and Mercury turn direct, creating a double-threshold moment where orientation returns and the path ahead steadies.

Meanwhile, Venus in Scorpio acts as the key weaver of the week. She links the social planets (Jupiter–Saturn) with the transpersonal ones (Uranus–Neptune), inviting emotional honesty, relational truth-telling, and a deeper sense of the soul’s timing. This is a Threshold Gate where the larger arc becomes perceptible.

Mon Nov 24 — Mercury Rx conjunct Venus in Scorpio

The Storyteller meets the Relational Weaver in the depths, illuminating the emotional subtext beneath old stories.

This alignment draws you inward to examine relational truths, motivations, and self-worth patterns that have been buried or unspoken. Conversations, memories, or insights may surface that help you revise the narrative you’ve been carrying.

A reframed story that brings more honesty and compassion.

Wed, Nov 26 — Venus In Scorpio trines Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces

The Relational Weaver harmonizes with the Expander and the Elder, creating coherence between desire, wisdom, and responsibility.

This trine stabilizes the heart. You may feel guided, supported, or emotionally fortified as inner truths meet grounded commitment. It can bring clarity about what nourishes you, who stands with you, and how your deeper values align with your long-term path.

A sense of emotional and relational coherence.

Thurs Nov 27 — Saturn turns Direct at 25° Pisces

The Elder pauses, pivots, and steps forward with renewed authority.

After four months of inner restructuring, Saturn’s direct turn brings a shift toward outer movement. Structure returns. Boundaries sharpen. You begin to sense what is non-negotiable and what responsibilities are yours to carry.

A grounded clarity about commitments and next steps.

Sat Nov 29 — Mercury turns Direct and Venus opposes Uranus

The Storyteller rises from the underworld with new insight and a clearer voice. The Relational Weaver meets the Awakener across the axis of truth and stability, sparking liberation.

Mercury’s direct turn brings mental clarity, emotional insight, and a renewed sense of direction. Venus opposite Uranus can shake loose old relational patterns, reveal surprising truths, or liberate you from ways of relating that have become too tight or scripted.

A breakthrough that frees your mind or heart.

Sun Nov 30 — Venus in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces

The Relational Weaver communes with the Mystic, blending compassion, intuition, and soul-level connection.

This trine softens Saturday’s jolts and brings you into a more spacious emotional field. Creativity, forgiveness, synchronicity, and spiritual intimacy increase. Something larger than you touches your heart and restores meaning.

A return to tenderness, imagination, and spiritual connection.

Reflections:

1. What clarity returns as Saturn and Mercury both turn direct?
2. What old relational or emotional pattern is ready to be released?
3. Where do I sense Venus revealing a deeper timing or soul-direction now?

I'm your host and guide, Sheila Miler. Here's a phrase from this week's podcast poem. The world enters us in waves. This week brings a quiet but potent shift. Both Saturn and Mercury turned direct after being retrograde for a while, creating a double threshold moment where orientation returns and the path ahead studies. This echoes a threshold gate of reclaiming inner authority. The turn from fog into clarity. Meanwhile, Venus and Scorpio acts as the key weaver of the weak. She links the social planets, Jupiter and Saturn with the transpersonal ones, Uranus and Neptune, inviting emotional honesty, relational truth telling. And a deeper sense of the soul's timing. This is a whisper of the threshold Gate of Soul time, not Kronos time. A deeper time when we begin to see the larger arc of what's unfolding on Monday, November 24th. Mercury retrograde is conjunct venous, and Scorpio. The storyteller meets the relational weaver in the depths, illuminating the emotional subtext behind and beneath old stories.

And just a note about the great synchrony and mischief of the universe, Saturn goes forward. On Thanksgiving Day in the United States, often a time of a gathering of families and friends. So notice where you might have deeper clarity about boundaries this day, and a clarity around what's mine to take and what's not mine. To take ground yourself, breathe and don't take on more than you have to. There is a gift in the cycle of a grounded clarity about commitments and next steps.

Increase something larger than you, touches your heart and restores meaning. A gift from this cycle, a return to tenderness, imagination, and spiritual connection. I wanna offer you three reflection questions for the week. Sometimes I give you a reflection question for each cycle, and sometimes it feels like the week just brings a couple of key reflection questions as this week does. First question. What clarity returns for you as Saturn and Mercury both turn direct, move forward with the elder and the storyteller. Second question. What old relational or emotional pattern is ready to be released? And the third question, where do I sense Venus, the relational one. The one connected to self-worth and values revealing a deeper timing or soul direction. Now, as I said at the beginning, Venus is a very important archetypal weaver this week, and this character in us in the world is all about. Deeper relationships and particularly because this planet is in Scorpio symbolically this week and the last few weeks there is get to the heart of the matter what's underneath, and Scorpio in its greatest gift is about honest intimacy and not being afraid of being vulnerable in connections. And simultaneously trusting yourself to the emotional groundedness and appropriate structure to support intimacy in a sacred way. The poem that comes to bless this weak of archetypal cycles is called Sound Bath by Rosemary Ola Tramer, sound Bath. Even now. Imagine we could step through one of the infinite doors of the moment and find ourselves in another life, repairing a net on the banks of a vast river or herding cattle down a two lane highway standing in line, a block from a soup kitchen, or guarding the entrance to the forbidden city instead. We are here in the lives we inhabit, but press your ear to the other doors. Hear the traffic, the sobbing. A swelling of symphony, gunshot, thunder of feet, the whimper of an infant. The world enters us in waves. Waves that seep through the doors and we wait in them waiting. We come to know there is no way to not be touched by every other life, no matter how distant. If you put your ear to the moment, sometimes you can hear every other ear listening for what you will do next. Sound Bath. The world enters us in waves. We wait in them waiting. We come to know there is no way to not be touched by every other life, no matter how distant. May you feel the blessings this week of Venus's journey, weaving journey in Scorpio, magnetizing you, supporting you, enticing you set down the armor.
