Mercury retrograde begins with a conjunction to Mars in Sagittarius on November 12th, setting the stage for an argument based on a confrontation over a misunderstanding. Mercury retrograde connects with Pluto in Aquarius on November 17th, continuing the themes of the 12th a few days later. Things can reach a peak on the 17th, so tread carefully and don’t let the conversations get too out of hand. Mercury returns to Scorpio on November 19th, but soon after, retrograde Uranus in Taurus and retrograde Neptune in Pisces reveal secrets. The Sun forms a retrograde conjunction with Mercury on the 20th, a few hours before the new moon. Saturn retrograde in Pisces and Jupiter retrograde in Cancer attempt to add structure to the mood on November 22nd. However, we’ll be pushing boundaries on November 24th when Venus and Mercury retrograde come together in Scorpio, forcing us to confront situations and people from ancient times.
Yes, this Mercury retrograde is going to be tough. The best way to be successful is not to stress ourselves. Acknowledging our feelings and not compromising our needs could lead to conflict with those who are unwilling to hear them. We shouldn’t hold back our feelings to avoid drama and make others happy. During Mercury Retrograde, it is crucial to speak our truth and be as direct as possible. We need to clarify and simplify words several times to make our arguments clear. Communication errors are common with IKYK, so it’s important to check messages for typos before sending. There may also be travel problems. So if we take an extra half hour to get to a destination, anxiety and stress can be reduced.
This strange moonwalk will heat up our minds and emotions. All water planets make us long for the past. Just because the moment has slipped away doesn’t mean the merit has disappeared. The universe is giving us another chance to mend fences, heal our hearts and look back and right our wrongs or try to make good on past promises. The Mercurial statement is here – are you ready?
