PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY November 10 2025 to November 16 2025 Monday November 10 Can You Look Beyond? On this day in 1871, journalist Henry Stanley famously found David Livingstone in Africa, and greeted him with the immortal words, 'Dr Livingstone, I presume?' Today, with both innovative Uranus and Mercury (communication) retrograde, leaping to assumptions and presumptions, or taking things at face value isn't advised! But with the right mindset (and without the need for a great expedition), there are opportunities to take mental adventures that stretch our horizons. Tuesday November 11 Reconsider. Don't Rush. On Armistice Day, we honour the courage and sacrifice of all those who've given their lives in wars and conflicts, and pause to reflect on the lessons of history. With Jupiter joining Uranus and Mercury in retracing its steps, the cosmos is encouraging us to reflect on our personal beliefs and ambitions, and think about the wider picture. It's a day to reconsider rather than rush, and to explore ways to foster peace in our own lives. Small gestures of understanding carry great weight now. Wednesday November 12 Let It Go... Today, we remember King Canute, the Viking ruler famous for his attempts to command the tides. His story is one of ambition, humility, and the limits of control. With Mercury, Uranus, and Jupiter all moving retrograde, the skies echo his most famous moment. Not everything bends to our will. Reflection can be wiser than action. It's a perfect day to consider patience, humility, and the ebb and flow of life. Like Canute's legacy, even small acts can leave a lasting influence. Thursday November 13 Treasure Island It's the birthday of Robert Louis Stevenson, the storyteller who wrote Treasure Island and created a world of swashbuckling pirates and unexpected friendships. In our lives, with five planets all in retrograde motion, adventures of a different kind await. Revelations may surface, and sudden changes of perspective may cause us to alter our plans. Whether you're plotting your own mental exploration, or embarking on a journey of inner discovery, reflection can lead to treasure. Friday November 14 Venus Planet of Love This weekend, as Venus, planet of love, links with Saturn, the Cosmic Teacher, by reflecting on our relationships, values, and responsibilities, we'll find a balance of enjoyment and purpose. With Mercury, Uranus, and Jupiter newly retrograde, conversations might be surprising, and long-held assumptions could be upended. Which means we need to be at our adaptable best. But if we seek beauty and connection, choices made now will set the stage for more lasting pleasures. Saturday November 15 Your Weekly Horoscope This week, with Mercury returning to Scorpio, the cosmos invites us into the deep waters of truth, transformation, and emotional honesty. With a Scorpio New Moon adding extra intensity, conversations and insights carry powerful potential for renewal. Hidden motives may surface - not to unsettle us, but to heal and clear what's been weighing on our hearts. It's a time for courageously naming what's real, setting intentions born of authenticity, and trusting that what begins in darkness will grow in light.
