| Yesterday the clocks fell back. Tonight, when you walk to your car after work, it will already be dark. | |||||||||||
| The porch light will be on when you pull in. The front door will take an extra second to find the lock in the dark. And between the car and the kitchen, someone you were not planning to think about is going to cross your mind. | |||||||||||
| Two planets went backward in October, and they are still going. | |||||||||||
|
|||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||
| Both Love Planets Are in Reverse, and You Are Not Behind | |||||||||||
| Mercury has been retrograde in Scorpio since October 24, and Venus has been retrograde there since October 3. Both stay in reverse through November 13. That means the planet that shapes how you talk about love and the planet that shapes who you want are retracing old ground at the same time. | |||||||||||
| The Last Quarter Moon arrived yesterday, and the Moon is in Leo today. In any lunar cycle, the Last Quarter is the release phase, the part where something that has run its course asks to be set down. But Leo does not set anything down without making sure someone is watching. | |||||||||||
| Leo wants to call at midnight and say everything. Leo wants to send the draft sitting in your notes app. Leo wants to post the photo that proves you are fine. | |||||||||||
| The Last Quarter says feel it, then let it pass. | |||||||||||
| Here is what this week tends to stir up: | |||||||||||
|
|||||||||||
| None of this means you chose wrong, and none of it means he is coming back. Retrograde periods pull old material to the surface the way a first freeze pushes roots up through the sidewalk. The ground is not broken, and something underneath just needed air. | |||||||||||
| The New Moon in Scorpio arrives next Monday, November 9, and that is where the week is headed. Between now and then, do not reach for the phone every time something old comes up. What you are feeling this week belongs to October, and October is over. | |||||||||||
| Diwali falls this Sunday, November 8, the night before that New Moon. Millions of people will line their doorsteps with small oil lamps. Not to pretend the dark is gone, but to prove that one flame in a doorway is enough to see by. | |||||||||||
| You do not need anyone to bring the light back into the house. | |||||||||||
| One thing to do this week: before the New Moon on Monday, write down what you are ready to stop waiting for. On paper, not on your phone. Fold it once, put it in a kitchen drawer, and leave it there. |
Wide Awake At 3 a.m. Again? Read This Before Bed Tonight
You know the feeling.
Your body is exhausted, but the moment your head hits the pillow, your mind switches on.
Tomorrow's to-do list. That awkward conversation from Tuesday. The bill you forgot to pay.
You check the clock. 00:00. Then 1:15. Then 3:02.
And by the time your alarm goes off, it feels like you never really slept at all.
If that sounds familiar, you're far from alone. About one in three adults regularly doesn't get the sleep they need.
But here's what gives me hope: falling asleep isn't only about how tired you are. It's also about how calm your body feels when you lie down.
That's where a short 30-second wind-down routine comes in.
No pills. No gadgets.
It's simple enough to do right in bed, with the lights already off.

| If you keep catching 2:22 on the clock this week, or $2.22 on a receipt, notice where you are standing when it happens. In numerology, 222 is the number of balance, harmony, and partnership. It does not mean he is on his way. It means what you are waiting for has not been canceled. Practitioners say the number appears most in weeks when you are closest to giving up on something you were right to want. | |||||
