Electric Purification 🌗 A LUCKY Mercury Retrograde & Sun in Scorpio Kite Ignites Deeper Coherence · Cozy with the Cosmos with Astrologer Sarah Paasch

• 0:00
  Hello and welcome back to the weekly astrology podcast where
• 0:03
  we light our candles, we get cozy and we talk all things
• 0:06
  cosmos. I am Sarah Posh astrologer and
• 0:09
  coach and I will be hosting today's episode where we get to
• 0:12
  cover the final transits of this beautiful Libra lunar cycle,
• 0:16
  which means that we're getting to the sun in Scorpio and those
• 0:19
  grand water trines with Jupiter and Cancer and Saturn and
• 0:22
  Neptune and Pisces. Did you check out those Taurus
• 0:24
  full moon horoscopes that were posted in last week's episode?
• 0:27
  If you haven't, make sure that you do because we talked about
• 0:30
  this last phase, last reinvention moment that Uranus
• 0:34
  and Taurus is bringing and that means with Uranus and Taurus,
• 0:37
  these green water trines with the sun in Scorpio are actually
• 0:40
  forming a kite. Yes, the release point to the
• 0:44
  lightning bolt of clarity and activation for the sun's grand
• 0:47
  water trines is going to be with the opposition to Uranus and
• 0:50
  Taurus. Go ahead, make sure that you
• 0:52
  like this video, subscribe to the channel and maybe turn your
• 0:54
  notifications on. That way you're never going to
• 0:56
  miss a new episode when it comes out.
• 0:58
  We're also going to cover Mercury and Jupiter's station
• 1:00
  retrograde and the second in our series of five conjunctions
• 1:04
  between Mercury and Mars. If you didn't already, check out
• 1:07
  that focus topic episode on the five conjunction series between
• 1:10
  Mercury and Mars and how this retrograde conjunction at six
• 1:14
  degrees Sagittarius this week plays into that bigger timeline
• 1:18
  unfolding all the way through April 2026.
• 1:21
  All right, with that, let's go ahead.
• 1:23
  On Sunday, November 9th, we have Mercury stationing retrograde at
• 1:26
  6° of Sagittarius. Mercury is going to be
• 1:29
  retrograde from November 9th through November 29th, and this
• 1:33
  means that Mercury is going to get two more rounds of those
• 1:36
  grandwater tribes. When we first talked about this,
• 1:39
  I think it was in the Libra New Moon episode on the channel, we
• 1:42
  talked about how Mercury is really lucking out with these
• 1:44
  grandwater tribes because it's the only planet to get multiple
• 1:47
  drafts. It gets to go back and edit and
• 1:50
  review and revise what it is that it wants to take in and
• 1:54
  bring out of the grandwater tribes.
• 1:56
  For me personally, that first Mercury 3 Grand Watertrine felt
• 1:59
  like this lessons learned. I wasn't expecting that, but
• 2:03
  looking back, it kind of makes sense.
• 2:05
  It was like all this really helpful, constructive feedback,
• 2:08
  things that kind of were going wrong, but in reality, it was
• 2:12
  really valuable information so that we didn't just charge
• 2:15
  forward with some of the plans or the strategies that we had in
• 2:18
  place. This information is going to
• 2:20
  completely change the way that we move forward.
• 2:22
  And it was funny because that information came in, game plans
• 2:26
  changed, and then Mars went through the series of green
• 2:28
  water trines and it was like, shit is moving.
• 2:31
  There was no slowing down the timelines that are starting to
• 2:34
  move forward. I really felt that quality of
• 2:36
  Mars being in domicile, participating in those grand
• 2:39
  water trines. So this Mercury retrograde, it's
• 2:42
  here to help us. So I'm curious, I want to hear
• 2:44
  how you guys are feeling. What do you feel about this
• 2:46
  Mercury retrograde coming up? Comment below the other
• 2:49
  additional point about how it's starting on Sunday, November
• 2:52
  9th, the moon is going to be at home in Cancer applying to a
• 2:56
  conjunction to exalted greater benefit Jupiter in Cancer.
• 3:00
  Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius and the ruler of
• 3:03
  Mercury as Mercury stations to turn back and go back into
• 3:07
  Scorpio, into the water trends into the depths in the dark.
• 3:10
  So this combination of astrology, it really showcases
• 3:13
  to me that right now this Mercury retrograde, it might be
• 3:15
  the luckiest thing that ever happened to us.
• 3:18
  This opportunity to look back, review, renegotiate before we
• 3:22
  move forward. Then on Tuesday, November 11th,
• 3:25
  Jupiter is going to station retrograde at 25° of Cancer.
• 3:29
  And it's usually not until these outer planets, the slower moving
• 3:33
  planets, station retrograde in the sign that they're in that we
• 3:36
  get that clear indication of what this transit is really
• 3:40
  about. This is the first time and the
• 3:42
  only time that Jupiter will station retrograde while it's in
• 3:45
  Cancer. Jupiter transits a sign for just
• 3:47
  over a year. And so Jupiter's been traveling
• 3:50
  all the way through Cancer, getting to 25° since June in
• 3:54
  2025 S early earlier this summer.
• 3:56
  And now Jupiter's stationing, putting a stamp on what it's
• 4:00
  here to deliver. What is Jupiter and Cancer
• 4:02
  really about? You want to be really paying
• 4:05
  attention, even starting on Sunday when Mercury stations and
• 4:08
  Jupiter sign in the moons with Jupiter all the way through that
• 4:11
  early part of the week, because there's going to be some tip
• 4:14
  offs. There's going to be some helpful
• 4:16
  information or maybe some new clarity about the opportunity
• 4:19
  that Jupiter and Cancer is really here to bring us.
• 4:22
  This is a moment I just encourage everybody to really
• 4:24
  pay attention. If there's any, anything that
• 4:26
  stands out, if it feels like there's any sort of positive
• 4:29
  developments or major turning points in your favor, you'll
• 4:33
  definitely want to be putting yourself in an attitude of
• 4:35
  gratitude because that's really how we make the most out of any
• 4:38
  Jupiter transit. Jupiter's generosity feeds on
• 4:42
  gratitude and appreciation. So the more that we're already
• 4:45
  appreciating what's already here, we're sending out that
• 4:48
  gratitude, we're giving what we can generously, then it's almost
• 4:52
  like Jupiter has more inspiration and motivation to
• 4:55
  deliver bigger for us. And Jupiter is going to be in
• 4:59
  Cancer all the way through summer of 2026.
• 5:02
  So we're really only halfway through this Jupiter and Cancer
• 5:05
  transit and the remaining transit that we're going to walk
• 5:08
  through in the rest of today's episode are all involving
• 5:11
  Jupiter in some shape or form. So this is not a time to try to
• 5:15
  rush past or similar to when I was reflecting earlier about the
• 5:18
  first wave of the Mercury Grand Water trines and how it didn't
• 5:22
  happen how I expected to. But in retrospect, it was
• 5:25
  actually really, really helpful feedback.
• 5:27
  If we slow down and look a little deeper with our hearts
• 5:31
  open to how it might be trying to help us, there might be some
• 5:35
  gold under the surface that we would miss if we were just
• 5:38
  trying to swim forward, just trying to swim past what seems
• 5:41
  like a challenge or seems like a slowdown.
• 5:43
  And that takes us perfectly into the next transit, which is going
• 5:45
  to be on Wednesday, November 12th.
• 5:48
  This is our second conjunction between now Mercury retrograde
• 5:51
  and Mars. This is happening at the degree
• 5:54
  that Mercury stationed retrograde, right?
• 5:56
  So imagine Mars is moving forward, Mars is moving the
• 5:59
  plans forward, and Mars is taking action, and it runs up
• 6:03
  against Mercury that just stopped, slowed all the way
• 6:06
  down, and is actually on its way back.
• 6:08
  It's like they're passing notes in the hallway and Mars is kind
• 6:11
  of slipping Mercury some sort of secret tip off, like a secret
• 6:15
  note to being passed between class.
• 6:17
  That's going to help Mercury go back and get what Mars needs in
• 6:22
  order to move forward more confidently, more strategically,
• 6:25
  especially when it gets to that third conjunction between
• 6:28
  Mercury Mars in January. All right, I'm getting ahead of
• 6:30
  myself again. If you want to know more about
• 6:32
  that bigger timeline, go check out that video.
• 6:34
  It's on the channel. And then don't forget this
• 6:37
  Mercury Mars conjunction. It's ruled by that Jupiter that
• 6:40
  just stationed retrograde the day before.
• 6:42
  It's also happening between the only two planets that have gone
• 6:46
  through the Grand Water trine so far.
• 6:48
  So pay attention to what's coming up around Wednesday,
• 6:51
  November 12th, what conversations or renegotiations,
• 6:55
  what kind of changes are being implemented.
• 6:58
  I'm almost imagining in the sign of Sagittarius, this conjunction
• 7:01
  with Mercury retrograde. It feels like that moment where
• 7:04
  we're pulling back our Sagittarius arrow and this
• 7:07
  moment is saying, hold the line, hold the arrow.
• 7:11
  Because Mercury is going to go back and it's going to get some
• 7:15
  sort of secret secret sauce, secret information that's going
• 7:18
  to give us a much better aim, a much better chance at hitting
• 7:23
  the target of what it is that we actually want to accomplish or
• 7:26
  the outcome that we actually want to create.
• 7:28
  And this is giving Mercury a chance to really help us out, to
• 7:31
  get to go back over the territory, those places where
• 7:35
  those grand water trines maybe started to show a bigger
• 7:38
  potential for our long term gains in our trajectories.
• 7:42
  We're either going back because there's something more that we
• 7:44
  need to release before we can go forward.
• 7:46
  We're thinking Scorpio, we're thinking something to go into
• 7:49
  composting, something that we need to let die off in order to
• 7:53
  give more energy back into the things that are actually life
• 7:57
  giving that have a chance to really thrive in the future.
• 7:59
  There's something this Mercury is going to need to recover for
• 8:03
  us while it goes back into Scorpio, or a second chance to
• 8:06
  review maybe that constructive feedback from the first wave of
• 8:09
  the Grand Water Tribes. We get to reconstruct our
• 8:12
  thinking and are planning for moving forward.
• 8:14
  And again, it might be that we're eliminating something,
• 8:17
  maybe potential distractions from the focal point being
• 8:20
  revealed. And that's actually such a
• 8:22
  beautiful transition into the next wave of transits, which is
• 8:25
  our Sun Grand Water trines. I say that because the Sun
• 8:29
  coming into these aspects, we had Mercury, which is all about
• 8:32
  the mind, the perception, the exchanges and negotiations.
• 8:36
  And then we had Mars, which is all about the game plan.
• 8:38
  It's all about how we take action, who's on board, who's on
• 8:40
  our team. And then we've got the Sun.
• 8:42
  The Sun coming in is this moment of coherence.
• 8:46
  It's a moment of purification. The Sun is the central force in
• 8:50
  which all things revolve around. In astrology, archetypally, it
• 8:54
  has to do with things like our purpose, our vitality.
• 8:58
  It has to do with our identity, and also those major plot lines
• 9:02
  or story arcs of our lifetime. The Sun also serves as our
• 9:06
  source of light and of life. So now with the sun coming in,
• 9:12
  it's almost like we get this light underwater.
• 9:14
  We can see underwater these grand water trines with the Sun
• 9:19
  in Scorpio. This is a season of clarifying
• 9:23
  the waters of purification and coherence.
• 9:26
  Remember the Sun in these grandwater trines?
• 9:29
  It's also making that opposition to Uranus and Taurus.
• 9:31
  It's forming that astrological kite and the opposition to
• 9:35
  Uranus that's our release point. That's the point of tension that
• 9:38
  has to be resolved in order for this underwater kite to take
• 9:42
  flight. It's almost like the image of
• 9:44
  electricity meeting holy water. If you imagine Uranus as this
• 9:48
  lightning bolt striking into the water of these grand water
• 9:52
  trines, it's suddenly going to purify and illuminate what
• 9:57
  actually is true, what actually has coherence with the greater
• 10:02
  vision, with the greater purpose.
• 10:03
  And the plot line of where we're going now, it's like we're no
• 10:07
  longer leaking energy, trying to hold contradictions in place.
• 10:12
  This opposition to Uranus, it is purification and the sense that
• 10:16
  it is eliminating it is disrupting, and it is going to
• 10:20
  shock the system into coherence. Maybe that means we suddenly
• 10:24
  just shake off all of the things that were keeping us out of
• 10:28
  alignment with our true sense of who we are or where it is that
• 10:32
  we want to go. So maybe it shakes off or shocks
• 10:35
  out people pleasing. Maybe you finally come into
• 10:38
  coherence and you start acting with more authenticity.
• 10:41
  You start feeling more free and confident to actually follow
• 10:45
  your creative impulses, follow your creative genius.
• 10:48
  So this word coherence, this is really the keyword that I want
• 10:51
  you to keep in mind as we move into the grand water trines with
• 10:54
  the Sun in Scorpio. Coherence isn't necessarily
• 10:57
  perfection, but it is a harmonic resonance.
• 11:02
  This is about getting rid of anything that doesn't actually
• 11:05
  feed the life or even the fun, the joy of what it is that we're
• 11:11
  doing and where we're going. I'm almost imagining like this
• 11:14
  Uranus and Taurus opposition is that Knick knack that you've
• 11:17
  kept in your room or in your house.
• 11:19
  Because maybe it was inherited, maybe it was an heirloom, maybe
• 11:22
  somebody gifted it to you and so it meant something to you
• 11:25
  before. But now every time you look at
• 11:27
  it, you just think about how guilty you feel for wanting to
• 11:30
  get rid of it. But you don't get rid of it.
• 11:32
  No, you have to get rid of it. It is time to get rid of it.
• 11:36
  It is time to clear the space to let go of anything you're
• 11:39
  holding onto because of some guilt, motivation, or some sort
• 11:43
  of emotional attachment that's actually toxic because it's not
• 11:47
  in alignment. You're not being honest with
• 11:50
  yourself or maybe with somebody else about what you really like
• 11:54
  or what you really want about what you really feel.
• 11:57
  The release point of this kite of these grandwater shrines with
• 12:00
  the sun and Scorpio, this is that moment that requires you to
• 12:04
  be honest. Honest with yourself, honest
• 12:06
  with the people that you're in relationship with or maybe in
• 12:08
  those negotiations with. Maybe it's just being honest
• 12:11
  about where you're going and how there's things about where
• 12:15
  you've been or what you've held onto that aren't going to come
• 12:18
  with you. They can't come with you.
• 12:20
  You don't want them to come with you genuinely.
• 12:22
  You don't want them to come with you.
• 12:23
  So it's time to be honest and it's time to come back into
• 12:26
  coherent, coming back to that word purity, this electrical
• 12:29
  shock to the system, to the plans, to the vision.
• 12:33
  It's bringing us that purity which isn't a moral perfection.
• 12:37
  I'm talking about the purity of unclouded essence.
• 12:41
  When water is pure, it is transparent enough for the light
• 12:45
  to pass through so that we can actually see to the bottom.
• 12:49
  This is like stripping away at the people pleasing and the old
• 12:52
  stories. What remains is actually a pure
• 12:55
  current of why you do what you do.
• 12:58
  It could also be an emotional healing.
• 13:00
  There might be some sort of cathartic release or emotional
• 13:03
  cleansing. It's like the shock of the sobs
• 13:05
  lead to the purity of the tears, cleansing your heart, really
• 13:10
  allowing yourself that space for some honest grief, some honest
• 13:13
  closure. And it could also be this moment
• 13:16
  in relationships where we contact without projection.
• 13:19
  Maybe we're finally seeing somebody as they are, not
• 13:22
  through the fog of our history, our attachments, our
• 13:25
  expectations, or even disappointments and resentments.
• 13:28
  This is where the Sun opposite Uranus needs you to shock the
• 13:32
  system. And that means shed and purify,
• 13:35
  coming back to what is essential, coming back to that
• 13:39
  full embodied coherence with the future trajectory, with this
• 13:42
  life that you're stepping into, these new storylines, these new
• 13:46
  life changes, these new potentials and possibilities
• 13:49
  that the grand water trines are gifting us to take into the
• 13:53
  future transits. You know, these decade long
• 13:56
  changes of life with the outer planet ingresses that are
• 14:00
  starting really officially in 2026.
• 14:03
  We get the help with these grand water trines, but they can only
• 14:06
  help us as much as we're willing to come into coherence with
• 14:09
  where we're going and let go of what isn't coming with us.
• 14:13
  It starts on Sunday, November 16th with the Sun in Scorpio
• 14:16
  making a trying to Jupiter retrograde in Cancer.
• 14:20
  Then on Monday, November 17th, the Sun in Scorpio is going to
• 14:23
  try and Saturn retrograde in Pisces.
• 14:26
  This is the same day that Mercury retrograde is making its
• 14:29
  exile to Pluto. So this is some sort of
• 14:32
  stabilizing of foundations. Our plans are feeling more
• 14:35
  sturdy. There's some footing under our
• 14:37
  future planning and Mercury's retrograde.
• 14:39
  So maybe it's people from the past, maybe you're bringing
• 14:41
  someone back on board, but they're coming back in a
• 14:44
  different role. This is some sort of rule change
• 14:47
  or management change that might be coming into play.
• 14:49
  It might be bringing people from the past or it might be letting
• 14:52
  somebody go so you can open that space up so that it's available
• 14:56
  for when Mercury is direct and makes its third and final
• 14:59
  sextile to Pluto in Aquarius. That might be when we actually
• 15:03
  see some sort of signing somebody back on board or
• 15:06
  signing somebody new. But pay attention to this
• 15:09
  Monday, November 17th date and what's coming into clarity
• 15:12
  around the people that are involved, the roles, management
• 15:15
  positions or maybe some sort of promotions that are happening.
• 15:18
  What I also love about about the Sun's grandwater trine happening
• 15:22
  at this point in the cycle is that the Moon is in its balsamic
• 15:25
  phase. This means that this is the
• 15:27
  smallest amount of light that the Moon has before it enters
• 15:30
  into that new moon, its darkest point in a conjunction with the
• 15:33
  Sun, which this next new moon it actually is in a conjunction
• 15:36
  with Mercury retrograde as well. Don't worry, we'll get to that
• 15:39
  in our next episode. But for now, consider the fact
• 15:42
  that this balsamic moon, when we think about that phase of the
• 15:45
  moon, this is really where the past and the future, they
• 15:48
  overlap. The timelines are blurred.
• 15:51
  And often when we read online or I've heard other astrologers
• 15:54
  talk about the balsamic moon as this ancient moon, the moon of
• 15:59
  the end or endings about the past.
• 16:01
  Sometimes it talks a lot about past lifetimes, karmic
• 16:04
  completions, and I actually am born with a balsamic moon.
• 16:10
  And something that I viscerally feel about living with this moon
• 16:13
  phase is that yes, it does feel like there is so much finality
• 16:18
  and focus on karmic completions. I recognize that I have a lot of
• 16:23
  people that I meet that I'm like, I know you.
• 16:26
  I feel like I've met you before. They're very karmic
• 16:28
  relationships, and sometimes they serve just as that kind of
• 16:32
  container for karmic completion, a karmic contract finding its
• 16:35
  end. But the thing that I don't hear
• 16:37
  talked about that I feel is very true about the balsamic moon is
• 16:41
  that my deeper, almost unconscious willingness to bring
• 16:46
  things to a close, the thing that motivates me to be
• 16:50
  courageous enough to be willing to walk away, is the sense of a
• 16:54
  better future. This is even further emphasized
• 16:57
  by looking at the sky. When do we see the balsamic moon
• 17:00
  in the sky? We see it in the morning sky,
• 17:03
  the balsamic moon, the end of the lunar phase.
• 17:06
  The moon is rising before the sun.
• 17:09
  The moon is previewing how this ending is actually foreshadowing
• 17:14
  the future that has yet to unfold.
• 17:16
  So there's almost this felt psychic sense of what's possible
• 17:21
  and what's ahead that I can't prove through any sort of logic
• 17:24
  or reason, But there's something about that balsamic moon.
• 17:28
  It's calling me forward. There's a faith in the future in
• 17:32
  that balsamic moon. So think about how this balsamic
• 17:34
  moon, it's sliver of light, is a reflection of the sun in Scorpio
• 17:39
  going through these grand water trines and that opposition to
• 17:42
  Uranus. And maybe use this as a time to
• 17:45
  more deeply reflect not only on the future, but also on the
• 17:49
  completions, on the closures, on the endings.
• 17:52
  Think about how they're connected that morning rising
• 17:56
  balsamic moon is showing and reflecting this light of what's
• 18:00
  yet to come. And the more we can lean into
• 18:03
  letting go, the more we can lean into that process of
• 18:06
  purification, coming back into what is essential, coming back
• 18:10
  into coherence, truly acting in full embodied integrity and who
• 18:15
  we are and why we do what we do and where it is that we want to
• 18:19
  go. I imagine this sun grand water
• 18:22
  trying it could activate a whole new level of flow.
• 18:26
  It could bring everything into alignment or there's no longer
• 18:30
  leaky holes in our boats. There's no longer distractions
• 18:34
  pulling our currents in different directions like winds
• 18:37
  blowing the surface of our water and our flow in all sort of
• 18:41
  directions. And also this process of
• 18:44
  purification, this idea of purity as leading to and really
• 18:49
  being a sense of coherence. How is this week, this
• 18:53
  invitation or how are you inviting this invitation?
• 18:56
  Leaning into where you can remove any sort of distortion so
• 19:00
  that your whole system, your life system, your sense of self,
• 19:03
  your relationships, the work that you do, the choices that
• 19:06
  you're making right now, they can really resonate together and
• 19:10
  a natural harmonious coherence. And this is what makes you an
• 19:14
  even more Clear Channel or clear vessel, so that all of your
• 19:19
  creative and emotional energy can move through unblocked like
• 19:23
  sunlight shining through a clear glass or like sound coming
• 19:28
  through a clear frequency on a Clear Channel or even water
• 19:31
  flowing in a clear direction. This is how we're going to round
• 19:34
  out this lunar cycle in this week's episode.
• 19:37
  Next week, we're going to get into that Scorpio New Moon.
• 19:40
  Remember this Scorpio new moon? We are going into the depths of
• 19:43
  the depths of the depths. We've got this new moon at 28°
• 19:47
  of Scorpio in a conjunction to Mercury retrograde.
• 19:50
  So that means that Mercury in its underworld journey has
• 19:53
  reached its halfway point and is getting this in fusion, not just
• 19:58
  with the sun, but with this new moon.
• 20:00
  So there's an incredible turning point, but it's deep
• 20:03
  underground, and that's how the Scorpio new moon starts.
• 20:06
  I'm really excited to get to that new moon and to get to that
• 20:09
  episode where we're going to talk about all the magic that's
• 20:12
  happening in this fertile soil of the unknown, this mystery of
• 20:16
  the darkness. So make sure if you haven't

  And one thing I want to clarify because I've been getting some
• 20:45
  questions. People are like, well, Saturn's
• 20:47
  not in Aries, babe. This workshop, this digital
• 20:50
  product, it is not just about Saturn in Aries.
