Overview
- Mercury’s last retrograde of the year runs November 9–29, with a pre‑shadow from about October 21 and a post‑shadow clearing near December 16.
- It begins in Sagittarius and moves back into Scorpio around November 18–19 before stationing direct on November 29.
- Several outlets flag heightened complexity as Jupiter goes retrograde on November 11, with Saturn, Uranus and Neptune also retrograde during this stretch.
- Coverage links the period to miscommunications, tech hiccups and travel delays, urging extra time, careful message checks, data backups and restraint with impulsive outreach.
- Guides recommend using the slowdown for review and reorganization, including revisiting goals, decluttering digital spaces, outsourcing reminders and channeling energy into creative or corrective work.
