This Mercury retrograde (Nov 9 to Nov 29, 2025) is a little different.
It’s happening in close conjunction with Mars, right in Scorpio – the most emotional and transformative sign.

At the same time, Jupiter is retrograde in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces. All three water signs are hosting retrograde planets, which means your emotions are getting a deep cleanse. Don’t let old emotions decide how you act today. Mars wants to react, to fight, to prove a point. But sometimes that fight is with something that happened long ago and still lives in your subconscious. This retrograde is your chance to finally let go of that weight.

As Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar reminds us:

“Purity in heart, clarity in mind, sincerity in action – this is the formula for happiness.” With the natural 4th, 8th, and 12th houses activated, it’s the perfect time to put this wisdom into action.
