The next cycle occurs between 9 and 29 November 2025, with impacts on beliefs, travel, power and secrets
Few astrological phenomena arouse curiosity as a retrograde mercury. Whenever it starts, social networks are multiplied in social networks with technology, messages that do not reach the right destination, misunderstanding at work and even family disagreements.
But according to the astrologer and the sun mentor, reducing the retrogradation of mercury to “chaos” or “bad luck” is an incorrect reading.
“This is a symbolic period in which we are invited to review the choices, the rethinking of attitudes and reorganization processes that have been conducted automatically. It is not a punishment, it is an opportunity for maturity,” he says.
What does retrograde mercury mean
In mythological tradition, mercury (or Hermes in the Greek version) is the messenger of the gods, of the Lord of communications, trade, contracts and passages between worlds. This association explains why, in astrology, the rules of the planet exchange information, negotiations and movements.
In the sky, however, nothing goes back. The retrograde movement is a visual effect: since the earth moves faster in its orbit, there are moments in which it seems to “overcome” mercury. From here, the planet seems to take back, but it is only an optical illusion.
Astrologically, this symbolic movement inaugurates periods of revision, return and reorganization.
Review, not unfortunate
Mercury retrograde has a bad fame, but according to the sun, the planet is not responsible for creating new problems. It exposes only the weak points that were already present.
“It’s as if the Messenger has turned on a torch and says: look again, see again, think,” he summarizes the astrologer.
Therefore, the faults of the contract, the noise in conversations, the forgotten e -mails or the deadly deadlines are only symptoms of something that was already misunderstood. The invitation is to pause, correct the routes and align expectations.
Because so many people fear the period
In popular culture, the term has become synonymous with “everything will go wrong”. This vision, according to the sun, has roots in a binary mentality inherited from the western tradition: divide the world between good and bad, light and shadow, as if there was always an external culprit.
“Astrology does not work with guilt, but with cycles. Retrograde mercury is not an enemy. It is a fertile period for maturation of ideas, reviewing contracts and resuming projects. Instead of fearing it, we can learn to enjoy your energy,” he explains.
The next retrograde mercury
In 2025, the planet will undergo three retrograde. The next and the last year occur from 9 to 29 November, in two signs: he starts in Sagittarius and returns to Scorpio
- In Sagittarius: The period moves topics related to beliefs, teaching, travel and political speeches. It can be a moment of contestation of “universal truths” and questions about international agreements, universities or educational systems. Scandals involving religion and politics can also obtain importance.
- In Scorpio: Energy becomes deeper and more intense. Hidden questions, disputes of power and secrets tend to emerge. Investigations, financial revelations or debates on inheritance, manipulation and control may arise. It is a phase of exposure, but also of healing: “What has been hidden can only be transformed when it comes to light,” says Solar.
How to deal with this cycle
Astrologists suggest a little care during retrograde mercury:
- Review the documents and contracts more carefully before signing.
- Avoid impulsive decisions, in particular on travel and important changes.
- The old projects remains and re -evaluated instead of starting everything from scratch.
- Practicing active listening: many conflicts derive from communication noises that can be prevented.
- Welcome delays and unexpected events as part of the process rather than seeing them as obstacles.
The invitation of the messenger
More than a warning of chaos, retrograde mercury can be understood as a call to the pause. “It’s time to slow down, observe, re -evaluate and mature. Those who learn to live the cycle with consciousness discover that it can be a great ally,” concludes the sun.
