Here it is, mates. The last Mercury Retrograde of 2025 is here and it’s bound to be a doozy!
To assist you in navigating your way through the current Mercury Retrograde period, here’s everything you need to know…
Mercury Retrograde feels.
When is the next Mercury Retrograde?
Mercury Retrograde hits this weekend, kicking off on November 9.
What are the Mercury Retrograde 2025 dates?
March 14 to April 7
July 17 to August 11
November 9 to November 29
What will happen this time?
Buckle up, besties — Mercury Retrograde is sliding into Sagittarius, and it’s giving main character meltdown. We’re talking erratic energy, zero chill, and everyone thinking they’re 100 per cent right all the time. Expect fiery debates, hot takes that go too far, and at least one “did I really say that out loud?” moment.
But when Mercury moonwalks back into Scorpio, things get deep. Suddenly we’re less about the drama and more about the why. Cue the overthinking, emotional sleuthing, and “I saw that coming” energy. Your intuition’s on blast — just don’t spiral over every suspicious glance or cryptic text. If something’s bugging you, be grown about it and talk it out (preferably without crying or sending a 3am essay).
The chaos really kicks into gear on November 12, when Mercury cozies up to Mars in Sagittarius — translation: tempers may flare and words might sting. By November 17, Mercury links with Pluto in Aquarius, turning small beefs into full-blown explosions. Breathe before you text.
Then, as Mercury slides back into Scorpio on November 19, Uranus and Neptune stir the pot by dropping a few cosmic secrets. The Sun joins Mercury on the 20th, bringing a “new moon, new mindset” moment, and Saturn plus Jupiter try to restore order on the 22nd.
But just when you think it’s all chill again — November 24 hits. Venus and Mercury Retrograde link up in Scorpio, dragging up unfinished business and old flames. Yep, it’s giving “why did I text my ex?” energy.
The lesson? Stay grounded, keep your receipts, and if the gossip gets messy — rise above it like the enlightened queen you are.
What to do during Mercury Retrograde
Don’t tell your secrets to untrustworthy people

Since Mercury is the planet of communication, when it goes retrograde, expect miscommunications and all kinds of tea being spilled. This might sound fun and spicy, but it sure isn’t when it’s your tea being splashed around.
Be extra careful with who you tell your secrets to because a person you thought was a trustworthy confidant might be two-faced.
Also double-check your texts and make sure you’re not doing the ol’ send the text about a person TO that person (which applies every retrograde, BTW).
Avoid stressful situations

Stressful energy is wafting through the air like crazy right now so be smart and avoid putting yourself in anxiety-inducing situations.
Whether it be attending events that you know your ex or arch-nemeses will be at, sliding into someone’s DMs or having important talks with people.
Now is not the time – save it for when you’re at your best.
Don’t leave shit ’til the last minute

Again, Mercury is the planet of communication so when retrograde occurs, the planet goes backwards, and therefore all communications go backwards.
It’s believed that during this time, delays are expected and therefore, do not leave important assignments, bills, or travel ’til the last minute.
Allow yourself extra time, you’ll need it!
Focus on your wellness routines

Do you have wellness routines in place to protect your physical and mental state of mind? Whatever you do, be sure to not only stick to it but perhaps add a few methods to it — whether it be energy healing, tarot reading, having a spa day or seeing a therapist.
And if you have none at all, now would be the time to start!
It could be as simple as meditating, staring a new workout regime, doing a nightly face mask or undergoing a digital detox (AKA putting your phone down and unplugging yourself from social media for a set amount of time).
Look after yourself, boo.
