Mercury in Retrograde - Starts November 25

Mercury in Retrograde is Back!

Yes, Mercury is in retrograde again. It appears I was a little busy in August, and totally forgot to post the August 4, 2024 – August 28, 2024 in earth-sign and ends in fire-sign Leo. It appears that the last time I wrote about in back in April, I had done the same thing. The August one was good to me, I had some moments where I figured out some things. That is a good thing. This one is from November 25, 2024 – December 15, 2024 in fire-sign Sagittarius.

Perhaps Pluto leaving my birth sign of Capricorn is an excellent time to get back on track.

What is Mercury in Retrograde?

Mercury in retrograde is an astronomical phenomenon where the planet Mercury appears to move backward in its orbit from our perspective on Earth. This happens due to the relative speeds of Earth’s and Mercury’s orbits around the Sun.

In astrology, Mercury rules communication, technology, travel, and thought processes. When Mercury is in retrograde, it’s believed to create disruptions in these areas, such as miscommunications, travel delays, and technological glitches. Many people view it as a time for reflection, revisiting old projects, and resolving past issues, rather than starting new endeavors.

During this period, you might experience challenges in communication, travel, and technology. Sagittarius’ influence can amplify these effects, leading to impulsive decisions and a tendency to overlook details.
