Your Weekly Horoscope Says Mercury Retrograde Will Exact Its Revenge

Your horoscope for the week of November 24 to 30 brings the ultimate form of confusion, so don’t be hard on yourself if you’re already waking up on the wrong side of the bed. The trickster planet is up to its old tricks, playing pranks and spreading mayhem. Luckily, it’s really not that big of a deal; you’ll survive.

On November 25 at 9:42 p.m. ET, Mercury will station retrograde at 22 degrees of Sagittarius. This will commence a three-week-long communication crisis, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. Still, this retrograde is bound to be more challenging than most, as Mercury is technically considered to be in “detriment,” while moving through Sagittarius. This is because planet Mercury is known for being logical, analytical, and detail oriented, while Sagittarius much prefers to be adventurous, expansive, and somewhat larger-than-life. When Mercury is moving through this mutable fire sign, it has trouble computing and executing the way it’s used to. Instead, it feels more like getting to the point, summarizing and generalizing all the logistics. Sometimes, important facts get lost in the mix, so remember to have nuance when dealing with Mercury in Sagittarius, especially while it’s retrograde. Mercury might accidentally exact some revenge during this retrograde, so be mindful of what you say and how you say. Sagittarius is prone to cases of “foot in mouth” syndrome.

Even though you may feel like you’re all over the map this week, you’ll receive a boost of energy as the Sagittarius sun forms a trine with Mars in Leo on November 27. This will give you the drive, stamina, and confidence to express yourself and overcome all obstacles. A little bravado never hurt anybody!
