Mercury goes retrograde 3-4 times a year, and in 2024, there are three Mercury retrogrades. The last one of the year runs from November 25th to December 15th.
Mercury rules the masculine sign Gemini, which is associated with the 3rd house, and the feminine sign Virgo, which is linked to the 6th house.
This final Mercury retrograde of 2024 will occur in the sign of Sagittarius.
Mercury rules over communication, travel, information, and technology, representing the connection between the body, soul, and spirit.
Retrogrades aren’t evil or bad. They’re just a chance for the collective to slow down, go through some trial and error, and learn from it. It’s all about redoing, relearning, releasing, rethinking, and sometimes repeating—giving us the push we need to grow and move forward.
When Mercury goes retrograde, it can feel like everything you’re working on is falling apart, and balancing all the chaos can be overwhelming.
Take it easy—be mindful of your interactions and try to avoid situations that could lead to conflict or confusion. Be prepared for delays in technology and communication, and hold off on making any big life decisions for now. It’s better to wait until the energy clears!
Mercury retrograde is a great opportunity to work with your shadow self, taking time to reflect on the changes you need to make for your highest good. You might find yourself dealing with the same conflicts over and over, wondering why this keeps happening. The truth is, it’s because there’s still a lesson in it that you haven’t fully learned yet.
Sagittarius is the 9th house, a fire sign with a mutable quality. The mutable signs are all about tying things up, while fire signs bring energy, intuition, inspiration, and passion. The 9th house is all about higher awareness, wisdom, open-mindedness, and exploration. It’s where your beliefs, ethics, and sense of adventure live.
When Sagittarius energy mixes with Mercury retrograde, it often stirs up a strong urge to seek spiritual guidance, dive into learning, challenge old beliefs, and reassess long-term goals.
Please note that during Mercury retrograde, the past has a way of resurfacing—whether it's ex-lovers, ex-friends, or family members you've set boundaries with. Will you respond? My advice: don’t. It’s not the right time.
Instead, focus on the following:
- Stay cool, calm, and collected.
- Practice gratitude daily.
- Think before you act.
- Soak in magnesium, use essential oils, and practice yoga to stay balanced.
- Keep your adrenal glands happy and stay hydrated.
Remember, this isnt the time to make big decisions. It’s more about rethinking, redoing, relearning, and reflecting.
