#391-"For Something New is Being Born in Us"-Week of Nov 16,2026
Sunday, 15 November, 2026
Inanna Comes Up From the Great BelowInanna has come up from the Great Below. On Friday the 13th, Freya’s Day, Venus and Mercury both turned direct. In the current astrology version of the myth, Inanna climbs back through the seven gates with Hermes, guide of souls, beside her. She is changed, and unsteady, blinking in the light. If you feel tender or raw, that is not a setback. That is what returning feels like.In the collective, headlines have carried stories of intimacy used as leverage and power used as license. You know the stories, and some of you carry stories of your own transformation of power and intimacy that these outer stories may have stirred. Be gentle with yourself this week.Key Cycles This Week:Sunday, November 15, still with us Monday: Mars conjunct Jupiter in Leo.Courage and conviction, with a lot of heat in the room. Let it warm you, and check the fuel. Is this fire serving something, or the need to be seen?Wednesday, November 18: Sun in Scorpio squares Jupiter in Leo.Jupiter in Leo wants more room and more spotlight. The Sun in Scorpio asks what is true beneath the wanting. Notice any pull to overreach, and ask: what is enough?Thursday, November 19: Sun in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo. Mars in Leo trines Chiron in Aries.First the friction: irritation and a short fuse. Let the Sun illuminate the Mars heat before you act on it. Then the medicine: Mars trines Chiron, the Shamanic One, and force meets the wound with gentleness.Here is the part of Inanna’s story that belongs to this week's cycles. Innana does not rise alone. The demons of the underworld rise with her, carrying the law of reckoning from that place: someone must stand in her place. In the cities where people mourned and held the thread, like her faithful servant, she says no, these ones are to be spared. But in Uruk, she finds her husband-consort Dumuzi on his throne in fine robes, who never mourned or tended. The reckoning falls on him.It is an image of accountability, not revenge. Mercy for those who stayed and tended. A clear eye for those who sat comfortable while another descended. Mars trine Chiron says the answer to what has been hidden is not only exposure, but protection of the vulnerable and force that serves healing. Responsibility over righteousness. Accountability is grave and sober process, not an impulsive party.Saturday, November 21, late evening Pacific: The Sun enters Sagittarius.A completion. The Sun has been in Scorpio since October 23, asking what is true beneath the surface. Now the Sagittarius archer lifts the arrow, with a different weight because Inanna-Venus descended. What do you now believe and know, having been below on an underworld journey?Larger FrameWe walk out of Scorpio season carrying what the underworld gave us, and Inanna’s two gifts from the road home and return: mercy for those who tended, and a clear eye for those who sat comfortably. Carry both with steadiness, not righteousness and not despair.Reflection QuestionsWho held the thread for you while you were in the dark (including inner figures)? Is there something you have not yet thanked them for?Is there someone (including inner figures) who was in the dark while you stayed comfortable? Is there anything asking to be acknowledged, gently and without punishing yourself?After the descent, if you know yet, what is your arrow asking to aim toward?Podcast poem: We Look with Uncertainty by Anne HillmanSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.comThis episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.
