Retrogrades, Realizations, and Breakthroughs — Today’s Horoscopes for November 14, 2025
Hey friends — I’m Laura, psychic medium and intuitive astrologer behind Northern Light Lotus.
Every Monday through Friday, I blend astrology, intuition, and real-life awareness to help you understand what’s happening in the sky and how it translates into your emotions, relationships, decisions, and healing.
If you’re new here, welcome — I’m truly glad you found this space.
And if you’re returning, thank you for continuing to show up.
You’re the reason this corner of the internet feels like a community and not just a blog.
Your presence matters here. 💛
Today’s post is a cozy, grounded walkthrough of the energy we’re sitting in — because with all the retrogrades, emotional themes, and little “what is this feeling?” moments happening right now, it’s normal to feel both clear and confused at the same time.
So let’s take a breath and walk through today’s chart — in a way that feels clear, grounded, and easy to understand.
🌿 The Overall Vibe Today
Real feelings coming up • Clearer thinking • Small breakthroughs • A noticeable change in your energy
Today has a “something just clicked” feeling.
Maybe in your emotions.
Maybe in a conversation.
Maybe in your intuition.
• Scorpio (sun) pulls truth from below the surface
• Virgo (moon) helps you make sense of it
• Sagittarius energy rising says, “I need to say this out loud”
• And the retrogrades? They’re slowing everything down so you can really see what’s been trying to get your attention
It might feel a bit chaotic, but what you’re really experiencing is clarity coming through.
✨ Retrograde Overload — Why Things Feel Familiar
Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, the North Node, and Chiron are all retrograde right now.
This creates a season of review where the universe brings something back up so you can:
• understand it
• release it
• correct it
• approach it differently
• speak your truth
• close a loop
• heal the root
If you’re experiencing emotional déjà vu… this is why.
It’s frustrating, but if you can catch these patterns now, it’ll actually make things easier.
🌙 Scorpio Sun + Virgo Moon — Feeling Deeply, Thinking Clearly
Scorpio wants honesty.
Virgo wants clarity.
Put them together and you get emotional truth supported by grounded understanding.
This is ideal energy for:
• exiting emotional confusion
• noticing your needs
• honest conversations
• making clear decisions
• fixing what’s been draining you
• understanding yourself in a deeper, healthier way
I felt my friend in Spirit as I was writing this — he whispered his little “ooosawww,” his word for breathe.
So I dropped my shoulders, took a breath, and when I looked at the time it was 2:22, which is his number for me.
That’s how I knew he wanted to chime in. He’s making me feel that a lot of us have been really emotional with all this Scorpio water energy, and the Virgo Moon is here to help us sort things out and get grounded again.
✨ 12 Sextiles Today = Solutions + Open Doors
We have twelve sextiles today — and sextiles are “aha!” aspects.
They create helpful energy like:
• “Ohhh… that’s what it is.”
• “Okay, this is doable now.”
• “I see the next step.”
• “Something small just shifted everything.”
Puzzle pieces start clicking.
🧺 Cradle Energy (x4) — Gentle Movement Forward
Cradles move you forward without force.
Today this looks like:
• soft shifts
• emotional support
• quiet healing
• things falling into place slowly
• being guided instead of pushed
This isn’t overwhelming change.
It’s gentle, steady, and supported.
🔮 Grand Water Trines — Intuition On High Alert
The Scorpio–Pisces–Cancer trine heightens emotional intelligence.
You may:
• sense intentions clearly
• understand your emotions quickly
• get intuitive nudges
• feel “this is right” / “this is wrong”
• see through situations
• reconnect with your spiritual team
Your intuition is clear, strong, and steady today.
⚡ Opposition Tension — Breakthroughs Through Pressure
Sagittarius energy wants truth.
Uranus wants change.
Together they bring:
• sudden realizations
• emotional releases
• frustration that reveals the real issue
• honesty you can’t hold in anymore
• choosing yourself
• noticing someone’s true behavior
Oppositions don’t break you.
They break illusions.
🌾 Putting It All Together — Today’s Real Message
Today’s astrology is emotional depth, sudden clarity, and gentle breakthroughs.
You are not going backward.
You are not stuck.
You are not failing.
You’re seeing something clearly for the first time.
And once you see it… you can’t unsee it.
Today supports:
• understanding yourself
• understanding a relationship
• understanding a pattern
• finding your next step
• small shifts that make life easier
• clearer communication
• grounded intuition
Take your time.
Listen to what rises up.
Your clarity today is here to guide you, not overwhelm you.
🌟 What’s Rising to the Surface for You
♈ Aries
Today highlights your emotional patterns and how you respond under pressure. Something you’d normally charge past might actually need your attention.
You’re realizing what drains you — and what deserves zero more energy.
Tip for the day:
Don’t react immediately. Give yourself 10 minutes before responding. The clarity will be worth it.
⸻
♉ Taurus
Old wounds around stability, trust, or feeling misunderstood may resurface. Not to hurt you — but to help you release what isn’t yours to carry anymore.
The Virgo Moon gives you the calm you need to make sense of your emotions instead of fighting them.
Tip for the day:
Write down what’s actually bothering you. Seeing it on paper helps you let it go.
⸻
♊ Gemini
With Mercury retrograde and the Sag energy opposite your sign, communication is louder than usual — especially misunderstandings.
Today gives you a chance to correct, clarify, or clean up a conversation that’s been weighing on you.
Tip for the day:
Ask one honest question to get the truth. Don’t assume — verify.
⸻
♋ Cancer
The Water Trines today support you in a big way. You’re extra intuitive, extra aware, and extra sensitive to what’s real vs. what’s fear.
You may understand someone’s intentions better than they understand themselves.
Tip for the day:
Trust your first feeling — it’s your inner compass speaking clearly.
⸻
♌ Leo
With the Virgo Moon in your values sector, you’re seeing where you’ve been giving too much, trying too hard, or expecting someone to meet you halfway who never does.
The clarity may sting, but it brings relief.
Tip for the day:
Pull your energy back 10% and see what happens. The right people won’t notice — the wrong ones will.
⸻
♍ Virgo
The Moon is in your sign, which means you’re feeling things more intensely and noticing every detail — especially the emotional ones.
This is a day of self-honesty. A day where something clicks.
Tip for the day:
Be gentle with yourself. Not every feeling needs fixing — some just want acknowledgment.
⸻
♎ Libra
With the retrogrades affecting your emotional foundation, you may feel reflective or nostalgic. You’re revisiting old memories or old dynamics and seeing them from a healthier perspective.
This is healing disguised as discomfort.
Tip for the day:
Do one grounding thing — stretch, breathe, walk. Your body needs calm before your mind can settle.
⸻
♏ Scorpio
The Sun is in your sign, activating your honesty, your intuition, and your emotional depth.
Today brings a personal truth to light — something you’re finally ready to acknowledge or gently accept.
Tip for the day:
Say the quiet truth out loud, even if only to yourself. It loses power when it stops being a secret.
⸻
♐ Sagittarius
With Mercury, Mars, and the Ascendant in your sign, your energy is strong — but so is your impatience.
Today pushes you to slow down, reflect, and think before acting. Not everything needs a reaction.
Tip for the day:
If you feel impulsive… pause. The right move will reveal itself as soon as you stop rushing.
⸻
♑ Capricorn
Old commitments, responsibilities, or emotional duties may resurface.
You may be realizing how much you’ve carried alone.
The Virgo Moon helps you reorganize your priorities and create better boundaries.
Tip for the day:
Say no to one thing. Just one. Watch how much lighter your day feels.
⸻
♒ Aquarius
Your attention is being pulled toward the future, but today’s retrogrades remind you that something unresolved still needs care.
A conversation, a loose end, or an emotional knot is asking to be addressed.
Tip for the day:
Don’t detach — lean in just enough to understand what needs closure.
⸻
♓ Pisces
With Neptune, Saturn, and the North Node in your sign, today feels like a spiritual check-in.
Your intuition is loud. Your dreams, signs, or inner nudges may reveal something important.
Pay attention — the guidance is real.
Tip for the day:
Give yourself quiet time today, even 5 minutes. Your message will come through clearly when you’re still.
🌾 Spirit Message — “Field of Dreams”
Today’s card offers a calm, steady reminder:
Your thoughts, your feelings, and even the quiet hopes you barely speak out loud…
they’re already shaping something real.
Not instantly.
Not magically.
But steadily — the way seeds sprout underground long before anything breaks the surface.
And Spirit wants you to know:
Nothing you’re dreaming about is wasted.
Nothing is too late.
Nothing is too small.
Nothing is impossible.
This aligns beautifully with today’s chart — Scorpio awakening truth, Virgo supporting small steps, retrogrades resurfacing old dreams, and the Grand Trines + Cradles creating gentle, supported growth.
Your inner world is a garden right now.
Alive.
Sensitive.
Responsive.
You don’t need to know the entire plan.
You only need to water what matters.
🌱 What Spirit Wants You to Remember
The ideas that keep popping up for you aren’t random — they’re nudges.
Your dreams are trying to get your attention, and they don’t keep returning unless there’s something there for you.
Even if life feels paused or slow right now, something is growing underneath the surface.
Today’s energy is strengthening the small steps you’re taking and sharpening the way you understand yourself.
And you’re not doing any of this alone. Your guides, your loved ones in Spirit, and the universe are supporting you in ways you might not fully see yet — but you can feel it.
And this also made me think of that Judge Judy reminder —
“If you did not make it in your twenties, you can make it in your thirties. If you did not make it in your thirties, you can make it in your forties. If you did not make it in your forties, you can make it in your fifties.”
And honestly, beyond all of that, your success and your dreams don’t come with an expiration date.
🌼 Working With Today’s Energy
Let today be simple:
Plant one seed.
Choose one dream, desire, or feeling you want more of.
Pull one weed.
Notice the thoughts that drain you and challenge them.
Take one tiny step.
Small actions are actually the most powerful today.
Imagine something good.
Your imagination is Spirit’s way of showing possibility.
Today is about trusting what’s sprouting — not forcing a harvest.
💛 Affirmation for Today
“The seeds I plant today shape the life I’m growing into. I’m allowed to dream big, start small, and trust my timing.”
🌙 From My Heart to Yours
Thank you for being here today.
There’s a lot happening in the skies and probably a lot in your heart too — so if you made it to the end, I’m sending you the warmest hug through the screen.
Let the energy of today unfold over the weekend.
You don’t need to rush clarity or force movement.
Just live.
Rest when you need to.
Laugh when something feels good.
Breathe deeper than you did yesterday.
Trust what’s shifting.
If you ever need more clarity or comfort, you can book a reading or join the community — only if it feels right for you. I’m here when you need me.
Wishing you a cozy, calm, soul-soothing weekend.
Take care of yourself, trust your feelings, and let the universe carry some of the weight.
See you Monday. 💛
— Laura
