Mercury Retrogade in Sagittarius ✨♐

Energies of the Week: November 25 – December 1, 2024

As we approach the final days of November, Pluto, now permanently settled in Aquarius until January 2025, signals a new era of transformation, inviting you to leap forward. However, this week’s retrograde Mercury in Sagittarius calls for a temporary return to the past—not to linger, but to view things differently and rewrite your script by mid-December.

✨🌠Mercury stations retrograde on Tuesday, November 26, at 22° Sagittarius. Its backward journey will extend to 6° of the sign and last until December 15, giving us an essential cosmic pause. This period invites us to revisit our ideas, reflect on past experiences, and derive the lessons we need to move forward with greater clarity and awareness.

This is the fourth and final Mercury retrograde of the year, offering you the chance to deepen your intuition and recognize that your inner world will hold more clarity than external circumstances over the next three weeks. It also reminds us that everything happens in divine timing.

If you’re missing deadlines, experiencing delays, or feeling a bit scattered in your daily life, don’t be discouraged. Mercury retrograde isn’t the ideal time to embark on new ventures, sign contracts, or push forward with plans, as these may encounter obstacles, require revisions, or fail to meet expectations. Instead, postpone significant decisions when possible, and if you’re traveling—especially internationally—have a backup plan, protect your data, and pay close attention to the fine print and the logistics.

This period, which prompts us to reflect on the house Mercury retrogrades through, is ideal for revisiting unfinished projects or tying up loose ends. Now is the time to give a second chance to an old idea, project, or proposal, resolve misunderstandings, and address unresolved matters. You might also reconsider educational goals, academic pursuits, publishing interests, or legal concerns, all areas governed by Sagittarius.

Retrograde Mercury in a sign of exploration and philosophy like Sagittarius encourages us to redefine our beliefs and ideologies, examining how past knowledge, experiences, and convictions have shaped our present reality.

With Jupiter—the ruler of Sagittarius—also retrograde, this is a perfect opportunity to take a broader view of your life. Reflect on whether your visions and aspirations still resonate with your soul. As the year nears its end, it’s a time for significant self-assessment: Are there aspects of your life that continue to inspire and drive you to grow?

✨🌠On Tuesday, November 26 Venus forms a Quincunx with Jupiterat 17 ° Capricorn-Gemini. This alignment may bring inner conflicts or challenges in communication within relationships, making it harder to bridge differing needs and find satisfaction. It can also hinder emotional expression leading to second-guessing or dilemmas involving aesthetic pleasures or finances. However, with flexibility, adaptability, communication, and self-control, you can avoid extremes and restore harmony.

On the same day the Sun Trines North Nodeat 4° Sagittarius-Aries.
This aspect especially beneficial for the early degrees of fire and air signs, boosts confidence, inspiration, and ambition, helping you align with your purpose and explore new paths of personal and spiritual growth. Meanwhile,0 it supports initiatives, decisions, and connections that could transform your destiny.

✨🌠On Wednesday, November 27 the trine between Sun and Mars at 5° Sagittarius-Leo
is a fiery alignment that amplifies courage, decisiveness, optimism, and passion. It’s an excellent time to showcase your abilities and pursue what inspires you. However, with Mars in its shadow phase before its retrograde from December 6 to February 23, this may not be the best time for impulsive actions or launching major plans. Instead, focus on preparation and planning for future endeavors.

✨🌠On Thursday, November 28 the Square between Venus and Chironat 19°Capricorn-Aries invites deep emotional healing, particularly for those born in the late second decan of Cardinal signs. This alignment highlights wounds in relationships, self-worth, and creative expression, revealing areas where distrust and limitations have hindered joy and fulfillment. This is a chance to reassess where you invest your emotions and resources, seek new approaches to healing, and strengthen areas that need nurturing.

✨🌠On Saturday, November 30 Mercury’s Semi-Square with Mars at 20° Sagittarius-Leo is a minor yet challenging aspect that can create tension, especially if you feel the need to assert your opinions forcefully and defend your truth. Under this fiery influence, logic and composure may waver, and words can become blunt, critical, or explosive, leading to misunderstandings you might later regret. Choose your battles wisely, be patient, and maintain self-restraint to navigate conflicts effectively and avoid drama.

✨🌠Sunday, December 1, ushers in a New Moon in Sagittarius🌙♐ marked by its conjunction with the bold star Antares, an open opposition to expansive Jupiter, and a tense square with disciplined Saturn.
This New Moon encourages us to adopt a warrior’s resolve while navigating Saturn’s constraints. It’s an opportunity to plant seeds of wisdom and prudence in this new lunar chapter. At the same time, Sagittarius’ boundless energy reminds us to keep our vision expansive, trust our inner compass, and aim for the stars, knowing our potential is limitless.🌠🌌

Blessings for a wonderful week to all!✨🌠🕊☮

With love💓💓💓
