😳 ☿ Mercury went retrograde in ♐️ Sagittarius Sunday, 11/9 at 2:01 pm ET. It will move into ♏️ Scorpio on 11/19 and hang out there until it goes direct on 11/29 at 12:38 pm ET.

🧠 ☿ Mercury represents learning, communication, thought and decision making.

Retrograde simply means ☿ Mercury appears to be moving backwards from our viewpoint on earth.

When it's retrograde, ☿ Mercury is closer to the earth. That's why it impacts us more than usual.

Here's what you need to know:

1. Don't be scared! 😱

People have gotten cray cray with fear-mongering over ☿ Mercury retrograde. Fear is never helpful.

2. If you're a ☿ Mercury retrograde baby (like me), this is your time to SHINE. ✨

☿ Mercury retrograde feels like home to you. Take your wit and intellect out for a spin. Speak up and let people know what you know.

3. There's an amazing OPPORTUNITY to go back in and redo something that didn't get your best attention/effort/focus. 🤓

Especially in the areas of life occupied by ♐️ Sagittarius (until 11/19) and ♏️ Scorpio (until 11/29) in your chart.

4. If you have to start something new during the ☿ Mercury retrograde period, don't panic. 😭

Just do it with the knowledge that you may need to revisit whatever that was. And let's be honest...how often do we do anything so perfectly that it never needs our attention again?!

5. If you can help it, don't sign any legal documents or initiate any litigation during this time. ✍🏼

If you have to do it, don't fret. Just know you'll likely have to revisit it and renegotiate it again.

🫶🏼 There you have it. Wishing you a happy ☿ Mercury retrograde!
