Re-Designing the Inner Architecture: A Journey Through the Retrograde Sky November 2025 — Mercury Rx in Sagittarius, Saturn Rx and Neptune Rx in Pisces, Uranus Rx in Taurus
The Call to Step Inside the Framework
When several planets turn retrograde, the heavens seem to lean inward, asking us to pause and listen beneath the noise of progress. The sky in November 2025 draws us into that hush: Mercury retraces his steps through Sagittarius, while Saturn and Neptune drift backward through the mists of Pisces, and Uranus crosses once more into Taurus.
In Jungian terms, the familiar scaffolding of the psyche begins to soften. What once felt certain loosens around the edges, making space for the Self to move through and re-shape what the ego built. Retrograde motion ushers us into a quiet interior hallway of the soul—where truth echoes differently, and familiar doors open into rooms we haven’t visited in years.
When a planet turns retrograde, its energy shifts from outward motion to an inward spiral. The pace slows so awareness can catch up with experience. During these cycles, attention naturally turns toward reflection, review, and integration. Each retrograde offers the planet an opportunity to circle back and finish what remains unresolved—whether that’s a lesson, relationship dynamic, or internal process. Rather than halting progress, retrogrades redirect it inward, allowing us to revise our choices, reclaim forgotten insights, and realign with what feels genuinely true before moving forward again.
Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius — Revising the Story of Truth
Mercury moves through the realm of belief and meaning, inviting us to examine the philosophies we’ve held and the truths we’ve spoken. The mind becomes porous in this season—open to nuance, contradiction, and deeper honesty.
Language carries its own spiritual charge; every word we speak is a quiet contract with our inner life. What we affirm becomes architecture. This Mercury retrograde revises the blueprint—words soften, assumptions dissolve, and questions become doorways instead of weapons.
When the tongue learns humility, the heart remembers wisdom.
Saturn Rx & Neptune Rx in Pisces — Dissolving and Redefining Faith
Here, stone meets water. Saturn attempts to build a container; Neptune melts anything not made of soul.
This is the psyche’s longing to unite structure with fluidity, discipline with imagination. As Neptune, having recently crossed into Aries, retrogrades back through the final degree of Pisces, it completes the last chapter of a spiritual epoch that began in 2011. These retrogrades test the architecture of devotion itself: the rituals, responsibilities, and spiritual boundaries that once served may need to soften, stretch, or dissolve altogether.
Exhaustion in this phase is not failure—it is psychic molting. The old scaffolding cannot hold the new spirit rising within it.
Uranus Rx Re-Entering Taurus — The Earth Tremor of Completion
After briefly stepping into Gemini, Uranus turns retrograde and crosses back into Taurus, returning to the anaretic degree it first electrified. This is not stagnation—it is resolution. The planet of awakening revisits the ground of embodiment, values, and security to complete unfinished work before its full transition into Gemini in 2026.
What was disrupted in recent years now seeks integration. The body remembers what the mind forgot: stability must evolve without becoming rigidity. As Uranus retraces its steps through Taurus, we are invited to test the foundations of our freedom—where have we mistaken comfort for safety, or change for chaos?
This backward motion is a sacred recalibration, ensuring the revolution that began in 2018 can finally root into the material world. It is the final tremor before a new frequency takes hold.
The Thread that Binds — Re-Wiring the Architecture of Faith
Fire questions.
Water dissolves.
Earth cracks and reforms.
Retrograde cycles collaborate here to shift the axis of meaning from external authority to internal truth. We are each re-building the cathedral within. Beliefs, roles, and identities loosen in order to align more fully with the Self—as Jung would say, with the deep inner blueprint we came here to live.
