Every year, November 11 carries a unique vibration. The repeating 11:11 sequence is often called a portal; a moment where energetic doors open, inviting us to align with higher guidance and intentional creation. But this year’s 11/11 is unlike any other. On November 11, 2025, at 11:41 AM EST, Jupiter stations retrograde at 25° Cancer, turning this already potent day into a heart-centered initiation.
Why This 11/11 Is Different
We’re closing out a “9” universal year (2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9). In numerology, 9 marks completion, release, and integration. The energy of 2026 (a “1” year) starts fresh, so this 11/11 portal acts as a bridge between endings and beginnings. Think of it as the energetic hand-off from what was to what will be.
At the same time, *Jupiter’s retrograde in Cancer adds a deeper emotional layer. Jupiter represents growth, wisdom, and expansion; Cancer rules nurturing, roots, and emotional safety. Together, they invite us inward away from external seeking and toward inner fulfillment. This isn’t about chasing money, material items or popularity, but more about reconnecting with your own heart and remembering that abundance begins within.
*Note: Anytime a planet is retrograde (or moving backwards), we are encouraged to really go inward, face any shadows or contrast we are experiencing versus moving forward with new beginnings. Because this is a year of completion, it's a perfect time to distinguish what should be released before the end of it.
Jupiter in Cancer: Expansion Through Emotional Honesty
Since June, Jupiter has been moving through Cancer, teaching us to grow by feeling instead of forcing things in our life. We’ve been learning that stability doesn’t come from controlling circumstances but from developing emotional intelligence, learning how practice unattachment and relying on our own inner safety.
Now, as Jupiter slows down and begins his retrograde motion, those lessons are only becoming more prominent. We’re asked to revisit how we define meaning, purpose, and abundance, and whether our beliefs truly align with the life we’re building. Retrogrades are invitations to review, refine, and realign. This one is no different.
Questions to Ask yourself:
-
Have I been moving forward in life, in fear or trust?
-
Do my goals still align with what genuinely nourishes me and brings me peace?
-
What beliefs about success or safety need re-examining?
11/11 Energy: Choosing Your Frequency
This 11/11 consists of a spectrum of frequencies. You get to choose which wavelength to tune into. Being such a foodie, i like to think of this portal as this a la carte menu, where we can order the different kinds of snacks and yumminess that we want.
The variety of frequencies act where you can adjust the balance between heart and mind, intuition and logic, faith and flow. Look at all these flavors!
It’s a day to co-create with the Universe consciously and intentionally. The invitation is simple: plant seeds for the next nine years with clarity, not pressure. You don’t need to “do shadow work” or dig through the past today so much even though we are in a retrograde. Just understand there is inward ways of thinking that will actually help propel you forward, post retrograde.
Keep it light. Journal, visualize, dream. You’re designing your next cycle from a place of self-trust.
Numerology & Angel Number 11
The number 11 is considered a master number which is linked to intuition, illumination, and spiritual awakening. Seeing 11:11 is a mirror moment from the Universe reminding you that your soul and higher self are in sync. It’s the nudge to follow your inner calling, even if it means stepping beyond your comfort zone.
When the 11 energy doubles (as on 11/11), it amplifies your ability to channel light, inspiration, and purpose. This is your reminder that alignment attracts more than effort ever could.
Jupiter’s Support System: Saturn and Neptune
Jupiter stations retrograde while forming some really nice *trines with Saturn and Neptune, both in Pisces. Saturn brings structure and timing; Neptune offers faith and vision. Together, they help us integrate spiritual growth with practical grounding in our journey. This energy is very welcomed and many of us will feel it strongly.
These alignments teach us that the seeds you nurture now will bloom exactly when they’re meant to.
*Note: A trine is when two planets sit at 120 degrees apart and work together to bring the very best energy and ease.
