How Mercury Retrograde Majorly Affects Each Zodiac Sign From November 25 To December 15

Mercury retrograde horoscopes are here for each zodiac sign! While Mercury’s retrograde phases tend to make us all shudder in fear, Mercury in Sagittarius brings a level of optimism, curiosity, and courage. From November 25 to December 15, 2024, Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius helps us expand our social life, learn new things, and dream about travel once Mercury stations direct.

Mercury retrograde is notorious for bringing about delays and setbacks, and this retrograde phase is no different as astrologer Evan Nathaniel Grim warns it will lead us to “question almost everything.”

“You might feel like you have a disjointed or incomplete perspective on life or the world around you,” Grim explained. “You’ll be searching for a missing piece of the puzzle.”

Before we dive into our next adventure, Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius wants us to see how to dream big through Jupiter’s opposition, but also be practical once Saturn squares it. The keyword for this Mercury retrograde is moderation. We are free to think ahead and learn new things but also develop a practical mindset for serious topics. 

Mutable signs will feel this energy the most, but we all experience the thrilling ride for the next several weeks.
