Attention, festive revelers! We have a crucial announcement that could impact your seasonal celebrations: Mercury is turning retrograde.
If this feels like an unexpected interruption in your holiday playlist, we sincerely apologize on behalf of the Universe. We regret to share this news, but being informed is essential for preparedness.
Mercury goes retrograde every few months. As this unfolds, the planet of communication takes a step back, granting us the opportunity to reflect on our lives, situations, relationships, and career pursuits. When it comes to the cosmos, time is a force we must embrace, regardless of our preferences. Regrettably, Mercury retrograde carries a negative reputation among astrology enthusiasts. While the trickster planet may disrupt our usual smoothness and bring repressed frustrations to the surface, this is a prime opportunity to revisit sidelined projects and reignite plans that we have overlooked in our daily routines.
Mark your calendars! Mercury is set to retrograde in Sagittarius from November 25 to December 15, coinciding with the full moon in Gemini. Get ready for some cosmic twists!
When it comes to travel, keep in mind that correspondences, gossip, and news can often be misleading and lead to delays. It’s wise to plan ahead. Indeed, blaming Mercury retrograde for any missteps, complications, and chaos that occur is perfectly reasonable. After all, we all appreciate having a convenient excuse for our blunders and those moments when we accidentally say the wrong thing. The narrative we’re exploring during this retrograde commenced on November 7. As the backspin concludes, we will enter the post-retrograde phase, referred to as retroshade, spanning from December 15 to January 2. Unpredictable events unfold during those weeks: Expect numerous plot twists throughout the adventure.
Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius is set to unveil hidden truths and reveal the juiciest secrets. The bold positioning of Mercury strikes with precision, aiming directly for the heart of the matter with its bow and arrow. When challenged, Mercury in Sagittarius engages with a competitive spirit and finds the experience entertaining. It must convey a clear message and does so with unwavering determination. When Mercury is in Sagittarius and goes retrograde, it takes on a more reactive, defiant, and arrogant demeanor. When Mercury takes a step back in Sagittarius, we can anticipate a surge in intensity as the planet defies the usual norms. Yet, we possess the option to either confront or escape. Choosing the latter option appears to be the most advantageous and prudent, allowing us to progress without the weight of past burdens.
This Mercury retrograde is particularly noteworthy, as it will oppose Jupiter’s retrograde in Gemini on December 4 and square Saturn in Pisces on December 6. Consequently, we will encounter a wide array of emotions and experiences that span from the heights to the depths. Jupiter’s influence inspires a sense of limitless possibility, igniting our ambition to achieve anything we desire. Yet, Saturn’s stern reminder grounds us, emphasizing that turning our dreams into reality demands dedication and continuous effort. On December 6, Mars will enter its retrograde phase in Leo. The interplay of these fire signs with hyperactive planets is set to sap our energy and diminish our aura. Don’t forget to indulge in a refreshing power nap to soothe your nerves and regain your tranquility.
While the optical illusion produced by Mercury’s slowdown in the sky can significantly impact us, we hold the power to choose our responses to various situations. If someone reaches out to you via text or email, remember that you have the option to not reply. Keep in mind that it’s not necessary to dominate the discussion to bring it to a close. At times, it’s wise to take a step back and leave messages unanswered when faced with hostility. Concentrate on the most important situations and connections. Above all, prioritize yourself and your needs.
