Cosmic Energy Shifts: Saturn and Mercury Direct
This week brings significant astrological changes as both Saturn and Mercury emerge from their retrograde periods, creating fresh momentum in our daily lives. According to tarot expert Kerry King, this planetary shift occurring from November 24 to November 30, 2025 will particularly impact work responsibilities, to-do lists, and the systems we use to manage life.
The end of these retrogrades signals an ideal time to consider upgrades to your routines, technology, and approaches to adulting. As King suggests, we're all seeking practical ways to streamline the necessary but often tedious aspects of life, and this week's cosmic energy supports exactly that.
