Mercury rX in Sagittarius
November 25th - December 15th, 2024 - It’s time to forge a path ahead, toward a future vision rooted in joy.
While Mercury in retrograde has become a scapegoat for almost anything going askew in our lives, it’s historically a time when we were meant to slow down and take life in with a wider lens. Computer problems, travel mishaps and miscommunication occur even when Mercury isn’t in retrograde and yet somehow we carry on with little thought to the tiny planet so close to the Sun. However, during the three to four times a year when our mental ruler slows we’re faced with the frustration that not everything in the world moves at the speed of thought. Its really just the Universe’s way of telling us we don’t have all the facts and we need to slow our roll before we jump into something we might regret.
Our final Mercury retrograde of 2024 contains Mercury in the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius. When Mercury goes retrograde in a fire sign it feels like all the pizzazz and sparkle is just a bunch of boring hot air. Remember that little flame, deep inside of you? Your pure essence. The voice of your Soul. What is it really saying to you? Have you even stopped moving long enough to check if the pilot light is still lit? Now is your chance to zoom out and really look at the details and how far you’ve come. Is it what you want? Fire burns fast and goes in directions we can’t always control which leads us to places we never thought we’d be.
During this retrograde, several other planets will also be in retrograde. Both Jupiter and Uranus will be retrograde the entire time, Neptune will be retrograde until December 7, and Mars will go retrograde on December 6 through December 15. The days where these retrogrades overlap will be the most frustrating, peaking on December 6. Travel will be challenging unless you pack your humor and willingness for adventure. Legal troubles, culture clashes and opinions flying in all directions are possible. With Jupiter retrograde in Gemini there will be no shortage of misinformation and poor judgements. With the influence of Mars's passionate, aggressive energy people will be quick to anger so tread lightly.
How can you harness this energy for the BEST possible outcome?
Look back and take stock on how far you’ve come.
Is it the road you still feel aligned to?
How much have you learned during this journey that you wouldn’t have been able to if you got to your goal quickly and directly?
Can you release the grip of expectations and focus on the positives?
Do you trust that you’ll get where you want to go?
It’s time to forge a path ahead, toward a future vision rooted in joy.
