Tonight the moon is past half and leaning right, sixty percent lit over your driveway.
|
|
Next Monday at 12:12 in the morning, the Hunter’s Moon.

|
In between, the sun switches signs, Mercury stops, and Venus is already two weeks into walking backward.

Half the Sky Is Moving Backward This Week. That Is Not an Instruction.
|
|
The moon tonight is sixty percent lit and filling, bright on the right side with the left still dark. Seven nights of it getting brighter over the driveway before it goes full at 12:12 in the morning next Monday, the Hunter’s Moon. By Thursday the light through the kitchen window will be hard to sleep through.

Friday at 5:37 in the morning the sun leaves Libra and enters Scorpio. Libra spent a month holding the scale level, keeping every conversation polite, keeping both hands on the table. Scorpio puts the scale down and opens the drawer underneath it.

Saturday, Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio and stays there through November 13. The names that come back during a Mercury retrograde in Scorpio are not from last week. They are the buried ones, the thread you archived in August, the contact you moved off the home screen and onto the last page of your phone.
|
|
Venus is already two weeks into retrograde in the same sign, so by Saturday night two planets are moving backward in Scorpio at once. Venus retrograde reviews what you value. Not what you say you want but what you keep choosing at eleven at night when nobody is watching.

You may hear from him this week. You may hear from the one before him. You may hear from someone whose name you have not said out loud since the summer.
|
|
Two retrogrades in Scorpio at once means the old name shows up on the lock screen at the grocery store, at the gas station on the way home, in the song at Target while you are trying to buy toothpaste, and again in the parking lot before you go in to work on Monday. The pull is not personal. It is two planets in the same sign and the woman two doors down is getting it too.
|
|
If one of them does show up on your screen under a Venus retrograde, the question is not why he came back. It is what has to be different this time, and whether what he brought changes what you already know you paid.
|
|
Before Friday morning, write three things you accepted this year that you would not accept again at the same cost. Keep the list in your own handwriting somewhere you will see it, and carry it into Scorpio season with both eyes open.
|
|
The sky will finish what it is doing by the time that moon fills next Monday, and the one thing it cannot decide for you is what is still worth carrying when it does.

One Sign to Watch
|
|
The number 333 keeps landing on the register tape at the grocery store, the odometer at a stoplight, the microwave at three in the morning. Numerology counts three as expression, the number where a feeling stops being private, and tripled, it arrives when speaking and swallowing the words are pulling at once. It does not tell you what to say, only what holding it behind your teeth is starting to cost.

Whose name is on your calendar for next Sunday evening, the night the moon finishes filling?
|
|

Today’s Devotion: Walk out to the driveway tonight and look for the moon, past half and bright on the right side. When you come in, open your calendar to next Sunday and write a name into the evening, someone who is not him.

Keep your power in your own hands.
