Make the Most Of Mercury Retrograde

It’s that time again... Mercury Retrograde can be two weeks of chaos And confusion. But it doesn’t HAVE to be!

Mercury retrograde begins on 9th November until it begins its shadow phase on 15th December when the energies will lessen.

during this time Mercury retrogrades from Sagittarius back into Scorpio, giving us a two-part cosmic story: first, revisiting our beliefs and philosophies (Sagittarius), then diving deep into our inner truths and emotional depths (Scorpio).

This is the final Mercury retrograde of 2025, and it’s here to clear out old mental clutter before the new year. Here’s what you need to know to make Mercury work hard for you...

🔮 Key Themes of Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius (Nov 9 – 18)

🙏Revisiting Beliefs and Philosophies

Sagittarius is the seeker — curious, wise, and forever chasing meaning. When Mercury retrogrades here, we’re invited to question what we believe to be true. Maybe your worldview has shifted, your values have evolved, or the “big plan” no longer fits who you’ve become.

This is a perfect time to explore how your mind has expanded since early 2025. What truth do you stand on now?

🌍 Travel and Exploration Challenges

Sagittarius rules long-distance travel and adventure, so double-check your itineraries! Expect delays, rescheduled flights, or last-minute mix-ups. Be patient, flexible, and maybe even amused by the detours — they often lead to interesting insights.

👭Communication Misunderstandings

Sagittarius energy can be blunt, bold, and brutally honest. During Mercury retrograde, that filter can go missing altogether! Be mindful of speaking too soon or promising more than you can deliver. Words carry extra weight — choose them consciously.

If you’re studying or teaching, expect miscommunications or tech issues in virtual classrooms. Backup your files early!

💭Reassessing Big Plans

Big dreams are Sagittarius territory — and under this retrograde, the cosmos invites you to pause and edit the map. Do your long-term goals still align with your current truth? Where are you over-extending yourself? This is your chance to refine, not rush.

⛓️‍💥Past Connections Resurfacing

Old friends, teachers, mentors, or travel companions might pop back into your life. These connections often hold a message or reminder about how far you’ve come. Notice who returns — and why.

🌊 Transition into Scorpio (Nov 18 – 29): Deep Dive Time

When Mercury slides back into Scorpio mid-month, the vibe shifts.

What began as “rethinking beliefs” becomes “examining emotional truths.”

Expect more introspection, raw honesty, and perhaps a few long-overdue heart-to-hearts.

This phase helps us uncover why we believed what we did — and what’s waiting to transform beneath the surface. It’s deep, sometimes intense, but ultimately healing.

✨ Make the Most of Mercury ✨

Mercury retrograde isn’t a curse — it’s a cosmic review period. Instead of pushing forward, work with the “RE-energy”:

🌀 RE-vise your work, plans, and goals.

🌀 RE-flect on what’s truly bringing you joy — and what feels outdated.

🌀 RE-st when possible. We’re in a Yin, inward-turning phase of the moon.

🌀 RE-view contracts, credit cards, and agreements before signing anything new.

🌀 RE-veal insights by asking: How have I grown over the last 12 months?

🌀 RE-connect with people or passions that once inspired you.

And of course: back up your devices, leave extra time for journeys, and triple-check emails before sending. Mercury rules tech and communication, so glitches are simply part of the cosmic clean-up.
