Overview
- The cycle runs first in Sagittarius through Nov. 19 with questions around beliefs and goals, then in Scorpio from Nov. 19–29 with deeper emotional reviews and a push for honest communication.
- Coverage links the transit to miscommunications, travel delays, tech glitches, scheduling mix-ups, and the return of unresolved conversations or contacts.
- Advice repeated across columns urges postponing big purchases and important trips, avoiding new launches, and not signing contracts without meticulous checks.
- Astronomer-astrologer commentary frames the moment as a reflective pause, with Jetteke van Lexmond describing it as a “sacred slowdown” that favors listening and careful expression.
- Writers note Mercury’s backward motion is an optical illusion and that reported effects are interpretive within astrology, with sign-by-sign guidance indicating Gemini and Virgo may feel it more strongly.
