From November 25th to December 15th, 2024, Mercury will be retrograde in the adventurous and philosophical sign of Sagittarius. This Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius invites you to embark on a journey of introspection and re-evaluation, particularly in relation to your belief systems and perspectives on the world.

Although Libra is often associated with relationships, there’s more to it than that. Libra is the sign of creating peace and harmony within ourselves. It’s about the ways that we try to find balance in our lives. During the time when Mercury Retrograde is in Libra (and during the post-shadow), we will be shown what is out of balance in our lives, so that we might attempt to bring it to rights.

Every Mercury Retrograde has a pre-shadow and post-shadow period. The pre-shadow begins about two weeks before the retrograde, and the post-shadow ends about two weeks after Mercury stations direct. I often get asked how to use these times. Are the shadow periods just “Mercury Retrograde lite”? No. I’ve come to realize that, like any other planetary cycle, they go more smoothly for us when we align with the energies at play.

When I share with you about the current astrology, my underlying intention is always the same: To offer you useful, practical strategies for aligning with the energies at play. I want to help you work with the flow rather than against it.
