The sky explodes this week, but tonight November 8th, is a still moment, suspended between endings and beginnings. The air hums with a strange stillness, like the hush that follows thunder, the eye of the storm that has been gathering all year. We are standing at the edge of the 11/11
portal gateway, a corridor of alignment and remembrance, and every movement above us
seems to echo the pulse of something vast unfolding.
The cosmos has been building to this point in waves. The Super Full Moon in Taurus on November 5th opened the ground beneath us, awakening what was ready to bloom. The next day, Venus entered Scorpio, crossing the threshold from softness into mystery, joining the Sun in the sign of desire and transformation. Then, on November 7th, Uranus retrograde re-entered Taurus, the final act of a seven-year revolution, while Pluto in Aquarius faced off with Venus in Scorpio, in a square that cracked open the tension between power and beauty. They all hold pieces of one another, Pluto rules Scorpio, Venus rules Taurus, Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, a web of receptions that binds the elements of change into one living system. What is stirring now is not separate, but deeply interwoven.
The Grand Water Trine hums softly beneath it all, its activation still unfolding. Jupiter, exalted in Cancer, expands our sense of trust in what grows slowly, while Saturn and Neptune, both retrograde in Pisces, hold the wisdom of time and faith. Together, they keep the emotional tides steady, reminding us that sensitivity is not weakness, but a form of strength. Within this flow, another sacred exchange takes place, as Saturn moves through the home of Neptune and Jupiter in Pisces, creating a thread of reciprocity and divine understanding.
Meanwhile, the fires of Sagittarius burn with restless movement. Mercury and Mars are co-present there, traveling through Jupiter’s masculine, fiery domain. The mind and will, the messenger and the warrior, share the same quest for truth. Mercury will soon turn retrograde on November 9th, inviting reflection and recalibration, while Mars continues to push forward with fierce momentum. Their conjunction on November 12th, the day after the 11/11 cosmic portal, will seal the message of this time, that our thoughts and actions must align with the truth of the spirit,
not the noise of the world.
On November 10th and 11th, the light breaks through. A blessed trine forms between Jupiter exalted in Cancer and the North Node in Pisces, where Saturn and Neptune reside, weaving a current of divine purpose. It is as if the ocean itself remembers the shape of destiny. This alignment offers quiet reassurance that even amidst chaos, there is coherence. The storm is
not here to destroy, but to cleanse.
The energy of these days may feel overwhelming, yet within it lies an exquisite precision. Everything seems to move at once, yet each planetary gesture speaks to the same truth, evolution requires surrender. The fire, air, and water elements now entwined remind us that transformation begins where the heart meets awareness. What breaks apart is making room
for what can finally breathe. The sky above us mirrors the change within, reflecting both the magnitude of our growth and the tenderness of our becoming.
As the 11/11 spiritual portal approaches, we are reminded that awakening is not a sudden light but a series of illuminations that arrive when we are ready. This is a threshold of clarity, a quiet reckoning where the old cycles of resistance give way to the courage of trust. This death and rebirth process does not ask you to be fearless, only to stay open as the winds of renewal move through.
May this night remind you that the center of the storm is always silence. That even when the heavens burn and shift, the heart can remain clear, wide, and willing to receive what is becoming.
Much love to all, Valentina.
