Mercury retrograde – 26 November to 15 December 2024

Mercury changes direction on 26 November at 22 degrees Sagittarius and will retrograde in this sign for the next few weeks until it reaches 6 degrees Sagittarius. Mercury is not comfortable in Sagittarius and finds itself in detriment. Throughout this entire period, Mercury will oppose Jupiter the ruler of Sagittarius which is also uncomfortable in Gemini and in detriment.

Both Mercury and Jupiter find themselves in the opposite signs and this is going to add to the problems this retrograde cycle. Jupiter is likely to magnify the issues.

We may well struggle to separate facts from misinformation. Stories are likely to be exaggerated. Beliefs will collide with facts.

Take your time when you send an email – make sure you are sending it to the person intended. Get your facts straight before you make wild statements. You may question long held beliefs as different information comes to the fore to challenge these beliefs.

Dot i’s and cross t’s. Back up phone and computer systems. Put your keys in the usual place. If you don’t, they may get lost. What about technical issues with gates, alarms and other forms of communication? Journeys long and short could be more challenging. Make sure your travel bookings are correct. Don’t do things in a hurry and mess up.

What about legal and contractual contracts? This could be a very challenging time as information goes missing or new information comes to the fore. Check the details with everything even if it is boring. Read the small print.

Avoid any surgery that can wait.
