The Truth Hurts, But It Heals
When Mercury retrogrades across Scorpio and Sagittarius, two potent truth-bearing signs, reality gets re-written. Scorpio digs for what’s hidden, while Sagittarius broadcasts revelations to the world. From November 9 to 29, 2025, expect deep emotional processing, resurfacing secrets, and new perspectives on belief systems, communication patterns, and life direction.
This retrograde is not about chaos it’s about alignment through honesty. With the pre-shadow beginning October 21, clues have already started surfacing. Miscommunications or delays are not punishments; they’re cosmic pauses urging you to re-examine what’s real and what’s projection. Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio & Sagittarius
