The vibes are intense—and your soul is calling for a check-in. We’re joined by our go-to tarot therapist and intuitive, Michelle Nolan, for your November 2025 energetic forecast. Think of this as your cosmic wellness tune-up to navigate the final chapter of the year with clarity and intention.

We’re deep in Scorpio season, and Michelle is channeling big-time guidance from Spirit to help you:

  • Understand the emotional intensity of the month
  • Slow down with purpose (hello, Hangman card!)
  • Work with Scorpio’s transformative power
  • Reclaim your inner knowing

We’re talking about bold Mars energy (yep, remember the Emperor card from October?), a surprising but necessary pause (thanks, Hangman!), and the energetic invitation to shed what no longer serves you—so you can step into your truth with fresh eyes.

Michelle’s messages will guide you to reflect, reframe, and realign as we prepare to close out 2025. Whether you’re feeling charged up, totally confused, or deeply introspective—this episode has a message for you.

PLUS: We touch on the concept of death and rebirth, soul nudges, and how this time of year is your spiritual invitation to go inward… and get real.

This forecast isn’t just about the cards—it’s a reminder that you are magic, and you have everything you need to move forward intentionally.

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH

  • A better understanding of Scorpio season’s energy
  • Journal prompts for processing big feels
  • Rituals and mindset shifts to help you stay centered
  • A fresh perspective for navigating life’s “pauses”

Karen:

Hi, Robyn.

Michelle:

Hi Robyn. Hi, Karen.

Robyn:

Can you just say we're ending October and when you all are listening to this. It'll be the first week in November, but there has been so much crazy ass energy at the end of this month.

Michelle:

Yeah. Scorpio's always a little chaotic, but I have to say, I don't know if you two know this, but Scorpio is not that I should pick favorites, but I will pick favorites. It's my favorite sign.

Robyn:

I am not surprised

Karen:

That's true.

Robyn:

Mysterious. There's so much

Karen:

confident.

Michelle:

Yep. Passionate and deep and profound and a little crazy at times, but it's all good.

Robyn:

let's get into,

Karen:

yes.

Robyn:

Scorpio season here.

Michelle:

I'm looking forward to it. Since des is technically in November, I have my des deck.

Robyn:

Yay.

Michelle:

Very cool. so let me do my channeling, opening for the collective and for everyone that's listening. Spirit, please open the session for the Seeking Center community and anyone who is listening. Please give me clear and concise messages for what is you wanna speak with me and them about today. And please allow everyone to have an open heart and open mind to receive these messages. And we thank you for your guidance, your protection, and your connection today. Okay, so Just remember that we are ending the month of October with that emperor card. If we just recall that's Mars energy. It's very bold energy. In your face kind of energy. And it created some kind of structure for, I think, coming into the platform of where we're launching into November, which is continuing the Heart of Scorpio season. So in the beginning of this month. We are moving to the hangman, which has a little bit of a different vibe. I would say it's a softer emperor. Okay.

Karen:

Remind us about

Michelle:

that. Okay. Yeah. Because the emperor is, like I said, bold, right? But the hangman here at the very beginning of the month, which is actually not what I expected, but the Heyman has this vibe of. Thoughtfulness. There's an internal space with the hangman. It's a little different than the hermit card, but it has this it's for clarity, The whole point of it is to set yourself in a. Position that you're looking at things differently. So the idea that you're maybe slowing down for a minute, because I think when I say it's a minute, it's a minute because that's not a, oh, we're gonna just gonna chill the whole month. This doesn't feel. Like it, to me it feels okay, we'll give a little breath, we'll give a little breathing room right at the beginning of the month, just to pause, reflect a little bit, wondering what the delay is. I almost feel like there's a little bit of a a weird kind of interjected delay. Okay. So when I get that kind of vibe it's like spirit saying. Don't rush. We wanna be careful and thoughtful about what we're doing going forward. Into this month. And I think that the hangman is allowing us to like I said, change some perspectives if we need to change some perspectives and think a little differently And also, understand what depth really means. Because Scorpio is all about depth to me, this is all about the profundity of life, the shadow side of life, that is the heart of really Scorpio and what they're about. So if we think of the hangman, it's like spirits asking us, what have we learned? What have you learned this year? And we're approaching the end of the year. So have you really learned what you're supposed to learn because we're giving you this moment a momentary pause of saying, if I need to redo something and need to relearn something, this is the moment to do it. Because I feel like after that. We've passed the off ramp, as I like to say, and we're gonna circle around again and have to do it over. So this is this moment in the beginning of November to really dive deep for at least a few minutes in our busy schedule and say. I spent a lot of time changing myself this year. I spent a lot of time redirecting. A lot of fast moving energy that happened this year. So what have I really learned and can I adjust myself so that I don't have to repeat any lessons. I don't have to revisit anything again moving after November.

Robyn:

Can I also interject for one second and tell you

Michelle:

Yeah, of course.

Robyn:

Mercury's and retrograde in the beginning of November. It's November 9th, so

Michelle:

it delays. It delays,

Robyn:

so I feel like. It totally relates to what you're saying. Just had to validate you on that way too.

Michelle:

Yeah, thank you. that's right, and I will say, I actually, even though, and I always try to apply it to me personally too, so it makes sense to everyone else as well, but. Even though the energy feels a little chaotic, like we were just talking about, I do feel like there's been some restrictions and it's causing some road bumps, At least that's how you seem feeling for me right now. So I think approaching November, I might still feel like that. Like why aren't things like flowing very easily? Okay. So that could be part of the mercury wreck. Yeah, but for tarot, for me, it's like that conversation spirit's having, they're putting us on an intentional hold, It's an intentional hold to say, or did you learn and did you change the perspective that you were supposed to change? Okay. Because again, right away I get, and I said this was brief I get this Ace of Wands and Ace of Swords immediately after the hangman. So that is pause, think. Act on that new thinking very quickly. It is an action, do it. So I'm feeling right at the beginning of November., It's almost like the truth, Because I always say ACEs swords is like truth with a capital T. the truth we're being able to access that faster Now that is. Also a beautiful place with Scorpio season because when we talked about , the veil lifting and being able to dive into that unconscious place this is the place where we can actually access some of that subconscious energy, that unconscious energy, and we're getting to those truths really fast and saying. That really makes sense to me. Whatever that thing is in my life that I've worked on all this year and now I get it. Now I can just act on it, and just say, this is what I'm gonna do.. So . It has a very similar flavor as the emperor did at the end of the month where the emperor is almost that call to structure like we talked about, and then this is the hangman saying, okay, this is the action about that structure, Like a little quick reassessment very big acceptance of some big truth or big knowing or big change in our thinking, and then acting on it in a new direction. That is like the very big highlight. And the other thing I love about Scorpio is when I say it's Mars energy is about action. So when I get the Ace of Wands there, it is about taking action. It's not about saying I'm gonna think about this for a long time or ask more questions, he was like no. We intuitively know the answers. We've been doing this for a while. Let's act now because Mars requires action.

Karen:

Michelle, can you just clarify from a time perspective. Are we talking about the first week of the month?

Michelle:

I think it's like how the energy moves, and especially in tarot as there's not really like a definitive timeline. It's more of like a river of energy flowing. So when we are moving into November, it feels like that, and then transitions pretty quickly into that. Action. Because like I said, I think we're really hitting intuitive stuff very quickly. It's like a quick pause, little delay, and then the action on these really big truths because Ace of Wands and Ace of Swords is pretty immediate. Okay. It's I know it. I'm gonna act on it. So I love that. And this is the other thing about Scorpio, I would say, which I love, is it's no bullshit. Scorpios will see right through, down to your core what it is that you've been hiding, what it is you've been maybe denying what is you've been lying about yourself, to others, and to yourself and what it is that you've been skirting for. Later, they'll call you out and say. We're not gonna hide that anymore.

Robyn:

I wonder why you love it so much.

Michelle:

Yeah. Made that so direct.

Robyn:

Everything about you in addition to the psychology and the tarot and all of it. That makes so much sense.

Michelle:

I always think of Scorpio season and Scorpio people calling out all my Scorpios out there 'cause I love them. Is that they have like x-ray vision. into people into situations, and they can very much say, yeah, no, this is bullshit. Or No, this person's super honest. They're not the most direct people, but they like very clear honesty. Okay. Very real stuff. Let's not be fake anymore. So I think there's a part of this element if we're just speaking about ourselves, because we're obviously, we're not all Scorpios here, but we can tap into that energy is saying that. We don't need to sugarcoat anything. We don't need to fake it till we make it. We can just say, I just don't know that answer. Or I don't know. I need to learn that, I hope someone else will help me with this. Okay. So it's a very forward energy.

Robyn:

Love it. This is speaking my language.

Karen:

I know. I love it too. Although I have none of that in my chart. So I think for some people That is a real stand in your truth. Challenge moment for

Michelle:

yourself. Yeah, because I think we talked about this a little bit on that group podcast is it's vulnerable. to be that real. It's vulnerable to be that seen. It's vulnerable to be that honest with yourself and with other people. And I think that is truly what the beginning of this month is really about. So it is just very hard honesty.

Robyn:

And I think it, to me, it also speaks to. Not wanting to see other people's bullshit. I'm so sick of it. I feel we are surrounded by it and I feel like it gives me permission to be like, done with you, moving it up wrong, gimme the real shit because. I honestly think we are just inundated with people trying to make things that are not authentic, but look pretty. Done with that. Yeah.

Michelle:

It's no surprise that the Ace of Wands looks like a middle finger.

Robyn:

We'll show that to people who wanna see it.

Michelle:

So yeah. No bullshit energy . Let me just focus in a little bit before we move through the heart of the reading so we can just understand what the whole month is really about. I am getting the 10 of wands and then the challenge to that, the magician. There is a lot of. Stuff, I would say that is just around right now. And that could be internally, spiritually, emotionally, physically in your space. You might have a lot, you just need to clean some stuff up. But just with the weight and the burdens of things. And the heart of the reading is understanding that weight. Actually doesn't allow you to manifest. Okay. Having that gunk just sticking to you like glue doesn't allow you to move, and this makes sense for me in Scorpio season because Scorpio, like I said, wants to go deep and usually where our gunk is, like our bullshit is hiding somewhere that we don't want to get to or don't want other people to see, but the whole point of it is so that when we get there, we can clear out that attic, clear that gunk off of us. Do that kind of, energetic shower, which I know Robyn likes to do, and just allow ourselves to say, I wanna get rid of this because I wanna move. I wanna manifest, that's the magician card. The magician card is understanding that we are in control of our reality. We have the tools To take what we've learned while probably the hangman's here at the beginning of the month and control what our reality looks like. That's the whole idea about the magician card. So I. When that is in the block for me, like what? That's the challenge right now. It's understanding the steps in that process of what manifestation really is, The steps are that we have to remove gunk to actually grow and manifest something in our reality. We can't just keep piling on. It just doesn't work. And the stuff that makes us heavy actually makes us obviously move slower. So we have to get to that. and I do also think that the flip side of that, the paradox of that with the magician card here, is we're supposed to notice when we're manifesting not so good stuff for ourselves. When we're actually in the energy of negativity we're in. The energy of the world is a terrible place to be right now, and I would rather be anywhere but this timeline. I would rather be anywhere else. What are you really doing? What are you saying? You're saying. I wanna manifest more of that negativity. I wanna manifest more of that horrific landscape in my reality. So the magician is very neutral. The magician says, if I'm here, I'm making things happen for you. But you're driving the energy of what's actually happening. If you're driving the energy of negativity. That's what's gonna show up for you. So I think this is Scorpio calling out bullshit on us as a collective right now and saying, I don't know guys, if we continue this kind of trajectory of. Everything is negative. Everything is terrible. That is exactly where we will get it, and that's how we'll get it. So I think Scorpio is calling bullshit on that a little bit.

Robyn:

And it's an opportunity, for all of us to gain a different perspective, own our strength, own the fact that we are the magicians of our lives

Karen:

I don't want all that negative you speak because it is, then you're just gonna get more. It's a good reminder.

Michelle:

And I think the whole heart of this around that 10 of wands being the center of the reading is a really big deal. Is now I'm getting why the Emperor was here at the end of October.'cause the emperor is about responsibility. Growing up. Taking charge doing the right thing. And so if we are speaking in that terms now, we're in that energy in November.'cause now it's like actually real, not just the concept of the emperor, It's asking us to take responsibility for what we're manifesting. for your own energy, Take responsibility for what you can control if you want to have a happy. World around you. Help create that. Don't just feed into negativity and feed into the burden of drowning in. Chaos. Because if there's other thing I know about Scorpio energy is they are the death rebirth cycle. And so they're like in their highest vibration, their phoenix is rising. So they take the worst possible consequence and scenario that you can think of and burst from those ashes to something wonderful and beautiful and new. So I think that is what this energy is about. Do you wanna take responsibility for your energy and help create a positive trajectory? Or do you want to get weighted and burdened by what is coming at you instead of changing that and transmuting it.

Robyn:

We can each take responsibility for ourselves. And if we each did that and we were able to own our actions and our thoughts and the energy we're putting in the world. And so if you're coming at it from a place of strength and gratitude I'm a badass and I can be here and I'm gonna put out kindness, I am gonna put out love, whatever it is. Then you are contributing in a different way. Therefore, the energy starts to change.

Karen:

I think it's what you said, Robyn it's, as much as things might not be exactly where you wanna be in that moment, the best thing to do is find that gratitude or find some little positive ray of sunshine in it versus. Meyer and Muck, and dig yourself deeper into the depression and the blame and all the things like you were saying, Michelle, weigh you down in this energy, and we'll keep you there., Michelle: Manifestation isn't immediate. Sometimes that takes a while for that energy to come back. We might not recognize that right away. We might not recognize that what's coming back to us is gonna be more negativity., We're continuing on that momentum. So another thing I'm getting here with the Queen of Cups and the Ace of Swords or surrounding that is, I think we're forgetting how how deep the depth of love really is, and that love is also a weapon. Love is just as strong as hate. If not stronger.

Robyn:

That's true.

Michelle:

So we look at that sometimes I think is vulnerability. I had a conversation with a friend of mine recently who is very affected about. The world at large. And she takes that energy on we were talking about guilt, ? We were talking about the idea of how can I be happy? How can I feel good and positive? when things are happening in the world that are terrible to people, and I was saying like, you are devaluing. Love, You're devaluing positivity. You're devaluing the idea of what you're bringing to people. Maybe even if it's for a second in their day, is some lightness. You don't know what's going on with those people. You don't know what's going on with someone that you just run into for five minutes. You don't think the rest of the world is also feeling depressed. You don't think the rest of the world is also feeling the burden So maybe bringing that continuously to the people that you're with and who you run into, it gives them hope.

Robyn:

thousand percent. It may not be the easy thing, but it can make such a difference. And the more you do it, the easier it becomes. So when you leave your house, picture yourself as like this ball of light. I do that all the time. I made it practice. Yeah. And so that when I do run into people, even if I'm not having the best day, I know that I'm shining as bright as I can

Karen:

you're right. It always makes you feel lighter.

Robyn:

It does

Karen:

get it back in return. You do.

Michelle:

And connected, the people we meet that seem to be untouched by. Negativity almost, right? Like untouched by horrible things in her life. And they're still positive it's disarming, right? And it allows you to connect at a heart level, which is the Queen of Cups is here. I feel like she's the answer, she like this. Open-heartedness is the answer to. Feeling the burden and feeling the 8 of swords swords here, which is stuck. Feeling like we're just gonna spiral around here down this drain for a long time. The magician is asking you, is that where you wanna be? Do you wanna spiral down in the drain cause we can change this. We can change this.

Robyn:

So then where do we move?

Michelle:

So towards the end of November five of cups, seven of swords, and the eight of wands. This is all this energy in November is. Serious as far as it's deep. So the five of cups to the seven of swords it is about all of that. It really feels like depressing. Dark shadowy stuff, which is what Scorpio is good at, and it feels like it's trying to come out to the surface so that we can remove it. And to do it quickly. when I get this eight of wands that is very fast moving energy. Starting the month with this delay and then going to the end of the month with it changing really fast and turning over really fast, I think is not surprising the extremity of Scorpio, Scorpio is about extremes. So the beginning is like delay slowness. Everything seems like jarringly not moving in the right direction. And then at the end it's like, all right, completely different story. We're going to just move very fast and. Probably jump into December very quickly and that energy is gonna shift super suddenly. But I do think this overall energy of not hiding anything. Not skirting anything under the rug and actually talking about things in a very real way, but not getting attached to the emotion of the darkness. So we can talk about. Hard, negative things we can talk about things that aren't going right in our life and what we're not feeling good about, but then not being attached to the emotion and the negativity to it. Talking from a place of yeah, this is life, Sometimes things are hard and sometimes we suffer, but what are we learning?

Robyn:

What would you say then, like really at the very end here, when you said things happen very fast, how are you feeling that

Michelle:

The whole vibe that I'm feeling is that, we've been doing this separating for a while. I've been feeling this like sorting that's been happening all year. And we're at this. deeper place of separation at the very end we're like I just don't want to be around that negative stuff. I don't want it in my life. I think it's toxic. I think it's hurting me. I think it's hurting my spiritual being and the people that I care about. I don't want it, so I am going to remove it and also be really. Honest about saying, I just don't want that around. I don't want that in my life. So I think the change happens very quickly in the sense of the direction, whatever that is. So maybe it's people in your life that you're like, I don't wanna be around that negativity.

Robyn:

Yeah.

Michelle:

Okay. I don't wanna do that. If you wanna get on board in this other direction, that's where I'm headed. So I think it's like removing that gunk and then in a very real way understanding that you don't want to be a part of it anymore.

Robyn:

Yeah.

Michelle:

Yeah, like highly honest,

Robyn:

It feels like a very deliberate choice by the end of the month

Michelle:

it feels very matter of fact to me. Like Scorpio. When I say they're not bullshit, the idea that they resonate with so strongly, especially in the season there is suffering. Yeah, there is shadow. There is darkness in life. Is that all it is? No.

Robyn:

The define you.

Michelle:

Yeah. No, that's a part of life. It is what it is. So I think that matter of fact, truth and removing yourself, I think from this current timeline and saying. We have it the worst. This is the worst it's ever been. Scorpio would say bullshit people. It's not the worst it's ever been.

Robyn:

That is true.

Michelle:

just the worst for you.

Robyn:

And I just am thinking at the end of the month in the US it'll be Thanksgiving and so you'll be with potentially family friends, you're going into the holiday. that's the beginning of the real holiday season, it feels like a good time to have cleared the gunk away so that you can bring your lighter self to those get togethers, to even just being out in the world so that you can actually take in the light.'cause I do think that time of year can also be a time if you so choose to allow yourself to be in the giving and in the depths of love, And having that positive energy. And so if you can use this month by that end of the month, you're in this different mindset, no more

Michelle:

about this. Yeah. The end of the month is like excitement, this doesn't feel exciting right now. This feels like trudging through mud and you're just trying to remove Yeah. All the bricks.

Robyn:

Yeah. It's some work.

Michelle:

Yeah. It's a little work, but again, it's scorpion work, so they don't really have a problem with it. But the highlight here is that magician card is really loud to me because the magician is literally saying to everybody like you are in control and you have all the tools to control what kind of life you wanna have around you. And it's neutral. It can be full of suffering, or it can be full of joy and happiness. What do you want?

Karen:

I This is what I'm always reminded by. Michelle is you always remind us that we have that power within us no matter what. The world looks like around us. We do have that power. So thank you for that.

Michelle:

it's the one time of year more than any others. Where. If we have to be like, woe is me, that's fine too, Scorpio will accept it and be like if you're in a dark place, you're in a dark place and I'm not gonna love you any less, But it's the one time of year where we can just accept that suffering is a part of life and that it doesn't matter. What timeline you're on. That's always gonna be true for every life and every human. Forever. Forever.

Robyn:

Thank you for the insight, Michelle. Yeah. I feel like we're gonna end the month in November, brighter than the way we began and. With a better understanding of who we want to be going forward, and then really going into 2026, so everybody get ready. I'm

Michelle:

excited. We're almost hitting the end of the year, and then it's Sag season, which is mine.

Robyn:

Oh, there we go. We'll be discussing. Thank you. Michelle. Michelle,
