The last Mercury in Retrograde will happen in November 2025. November 9, 2025 – November 29, 2025 starts in fire-sign Sagittarius, ends in water-sign Scorpio. Mercury retrograde is not a cosmic punishment — it’s a sacred pause, a spiritual re-calibration. The universe gently invites you to slow down, turn inward, and listen more deeply. Miscommunications, delays, or detours aren’t obstacles, but messages — signs pointing you toward alignment, healing, and growth. This is a time to reconnect with your inner wisdom, to reflect on the path you’re walking, and to trust that not all movement needs to be forward to be meaningful. When you surrender to the flow, you may find clarity where once there was confusion, and purpose where there was pause.

Double-Check Plans
-
- Confirm appointments and travel times more than once.
- Avoid signing major contracts unless absolutely necessary.
- If you must commit, read the fine print very carefully.
Allow Buffer Time
-
- Plan for delays (especially in travel or shipping).
- Leave early and be flexible with itineraries.
Practice Mindful Communication
-
- Speak and write clearly—assume nothing.
- Clarify intentions, and don’t take misunderstandings personally.
Focus on Reflection, Not Action
