Mercury Moves into Sagittarius: Expanding Perspectives and Revisiting Conversations
As Mercury moves into Sagittarius, we’re shifting into a period that encourages us to think big, explore new perspectives, and communicate openly. Sagittarius is all about broadening horizons—mentally, physically, and spiritually. With Mercury, the planet of communication, curiosity, and ideas, in this bold, truth-seeking sign, expect conversations and thoughts to stretch beyond the ordinary. This is a time for embracing learning, questioning assumptions, and diving into areas that inspire growth.
But here’s the thing: Mercury will go retrograde on November 25, right in Sagittarius, which means the thoughts, conversations, and plans we start now are likely to circle back. Pay attention to what’s being communicated, especially around ideas or topics that feel significant. Mercury’s retrograde will bring these things back up for review, so what feels like a leap forward now may need re-evaluation later. This period is a good one for exploring ideas but keep flexibility in mind as you go.
