Mercury Retrograde

In episode 325 we look at the astrological forecast for November 2021, which features Mars squaring Saturn and opposing Uranus, as well as a lunar eclipse in Taurus, with astrologers Chris Brennan, Austin Coppock, and special guest co-host Leisa Schaim. November is one of the most tense months of this year, due to the tight T-square between Mars, Saturn, and Uranus, as well as the first of a series of eclipses in Taurus going exact around the same time, all around the middle of November. In the first part of the episode we review how the astrology of October went, focusing in particular on some stories connected with the Mercury retrograde square Pluto, and then after that do a deep dive on the astrology of November.
