The final Mercury retrograde of 2025 runs from November 9 to 29—right through Thanksgiving travel, family plans, and emotional chaos. The planet of communication and clarity begins its rewind in Sagittarius (November 9–18), where beliefs and big ideas are tested, then slips into Scorpio (November 18–29), exposing deeper truths and emotional undercurrents. Mercury retrograde slows your pace just enough to reveal what’s been misunderstood or unspoken. It’s a reminder to listen carefully, pause before reacting, and move with presence instead of pressure. By the time Mercury moves direct on November 29, conversations settle and intentions clarify. Handle it consciously, and you’ll enter December lighter, clearer, and more connected to what really matters.
