Power is where energy meets action.
Every November, the energy shifts from the visible to the invisible. The outer world cools and quiets, but the inner world begins to hum. The veil thins, wisdom deepens, and knowing rises from the depths.
This year, that pull inward has purpose. Mercury retrogrades from Sagittarius into Scorpio the 3rd week of the month – an invitation to explore the bridge between discovery and depth. Sagittarius seeks truth through experience; Scorpio demands truth through transformation. Together, they form a powerful current that compels you to ask not only, “What do I know?” but “How do I know it and am I acting on it?”
This is where real power lives. Power isn’t force or control. Power is the alignment between energy and action. It’s the instant your intention moves through you and reshapes the world around you. In November, that alignment is everything.
The Season of Knowing
Samhain opens the month, marking the true spiritual new year – the origin of potential. The masculine drive for speed and productivity rests, and the feminine rhythm of intuition, creativity, and inner knowing takes the lead. It’s time to slow the external hustle and amplify the internal hum.
The stars agree. Mercury, planet of communication and thinking, begins his retrograde on November 9 in Sagittarius, dancing backward into Scorpio until November 29. The retrograde itself isn’t the problem, it’s the teacher. When Mercury retraces his steps, you’re asked to review your thoughts, revisit your strategy, and reclaim your truth.
In Sagittarius, Mercury pulls you toward exploration, such as; travel, philosophy, curiosity, and learning. He wants you to see the bigger picture. Yet, as he slides into Scorpio, the quest turns inward. What began as an external search for answers becomes an inner examination. You may find that what you’re seeking isn’t more data or ideas. Instead, it’s depth, honesty, and precision.
This is where intuition meets intellect, and where energy must meet action.
The Power Equation
For intuitive practitioners, this month asks for the discipline of discernment. Knowing without grounding can float away in fantasy. Strategy without energy burns out in effort. Power lives in the space where both meet.
It’s tempting to romanticize the Scorpio depths, through its shadow work, emotional release, and intuitive downloads. However, Scorpio also governs the unseen systems that hold transformation together: investments, contracts, and energetic exchanges. In other words, strategy.
When Mercury moves here, your intuition sharpens, but so does your ability to spot patterns, read between the lines, and restructure what no longer works. This is the moment to balance your knowing with precision and to take your insights and translate them into clear, committed steps.
The feminine mystic is not directionless, she is intentional. The masculine strategist is not rigid, he’s decisive. Together, they form the architecture of power without compromise.
When the Mind Slows, the Truth Speaks
November’s retrograde rhythm can make you feel like you’re not moving forward, but that’s the illusion. This is the month where clarity returns through stillness. When the outer noise fades, your inner voice becomes audible again.
Use this as a diagnostic period. Where have your actions outpaced your alignment? Where are you forcing results that no longer resonate? Where have you been “doing more” instead of “being precise”?
If you’ve been running at G-force speed since July, this is the perfect moment to recalibrate. Slow down your launches, review your analytics, audit your systems, and refine your message. On the personal level, connect deeply with your people. Mercury in Scorpio strengthens bonds and reveals where true reciprocity lives.
Ask yourself:
- What am I investing in emotionally, mentally, and energetically?
- Where is my investment still paying dividends and where is it draining me?
- What would it look like to make my actions match my energy, exactly?
That’s the alchemy of knowing.
Owls, Jade, and Strategy
The oracle for November is Knowing. The spirit ally is the Owl – seer of the night, keeper of wisdom, and master of silence. Owl doesn’t chase. He waits. He observes until the exact moment presents itself and then acts with precision.
That’s your model this month. Patience as power and awareness as preparation. The wait isn’t wasted; it’s where strategy matures.
The crystal ally, Jade, reinforces this. Jade is soft but strong – its heart-centered frequency whispers of patience, prosperity, and peace. It reminds you that true wealth doesn’t rush. It accrues through wise timing and steady presence.
Together, Owl and Jade ask you to trust your timing. Mercury retrograde isn’t here to stall you; it’s here to sync you. You don’t need more motion – you need more meaning.

Energy Meets Action
How do you make power practical this month?
Here’s the paradox: November’s stillness is the strategy. Action that emerges from alignment becomes exponential, but forced action fragments your power.
Let’s translate that into business, creation, and daily life.
- Review before you reach. Retrogrades are for reflection. Revisit your offerings, your pricing, and your collaborations. Where are you overextending? Where are you under-committing? Use data and intuition. Strategy is spiritual when it honors your truth.
- Strengthen your structure. Scorpio rules shared resources and the hidden scaffolding that supports your empire, such as; contracts, finances, and boundaries. This is the time to shore up what sustains you. Real power doesn’t leak.
- Speak with precision. Mercury in Scorpio values honesty over harmony. Say what you mean and avoid exaggeration (Sagittarius loves to embellish). Truth is magnetic – it clarifies your field and calls in the right people.
- Reclaim your rhythm. Sagittarius teaches movement and Scorpio teaches mastery. The key is to blend them. Let your curiosity guide your learning, but your intuition guide your decisions. This combination transforms scattered energy into strategic momentum.
- Trust your knowing. The outer world may be chaotic, but your inner compass is reliable. Every intuitive nudge is data and every hesitation is guidance. When in doubt, listen inward before acting outward.
Why This Matters
The collective frequency is shifting fast. Uranus and Neptune continue their sextile dance – freedom meets imagination, rebellion meets vision, and spirituality meets practicum. Innovation and intuition are fusing across industries, from AI to artistry. The intuitive economy is rising.
That means your ability to know – to read energy, patterns, timing – isn’t fringe. It’s the future of strategy.
In my own work with 9-figure founders and cultural icons, I’ve seen this truth play out again and again: success collapses when strategy outruns soul. The wealth that endures is built from knowing, not guessing. It’s created from alignment, not acceleration.
As I often say, power is where energy meets action. Without energy, action is hollow. Without action, energy is ungrounded. The fusion of both is precision – the ability to act at the exact right time, for the exact right reason, and in the exact right way.
That’s what Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius and Scorpio teaches you: curiosity without depth is distraction and depth without movement is stagnation. When they merge, you get evolution.
The Art of Strategic Stillness
Many people dread retrogrades because they crave constant motion. Motion without meaning is misalignment in disguise. November gives you permission to paus – to think like the Owl, to plan like the Sage, and to trust that your timing is divine.
Take this month to refine your knowing into a new strategy for 2026. Use your insights to set intentions that are measurable, sustainable, and soul-aligned.
Ask:
- What did I learn this year that changes how I lead?
- What am I done chasing?
- What am I ready to deepen?
The key to succeeding in November is to understand what you know now is sacred. The experiences, the lessons, even the missteps – all of it becomes intelligence. When you integrate that knowing into your next strategy, you stop chasing success and start becoming it.

For the Intuitive Ones
For those who work in healing, guidance, or creative transformation, November is your power portal. The feminine energy is strong, the veil is thin, and your ability to perceive the truth beneath appearances is amplified.
Remember, insight without structure can dissolve into overwhelm. Use your intuition to guide your systems, not replace them. Write your downloads down, turn your ideas into frameworks, and let your magic meet your method.
If you’ve been feeling invisible or uncertain, this month helps you return to your rhythm. Visibility built on knowing is visibility that lasts. You don’t have to shout to be heard. You only have to speak when it’s true.
Final Reflection
November asks you to merge the mystic and the strategist, or the seeker and the sage. November asks you to see power not as dominance but as discernment. You already know more than you realize. The question isn’t whether you’re intuitive; it’s whether you trust yourself enough to act on that intuition.
Take a breath. Step back from the frenzy. Review your numbers, rewrite your narrative, and remember: power isn’t gained, it’s remembered. When energy meets action, knowing becomes creation, and that is the true magic of November.
Cheers to your knowing,
Kim
