Read your horoscope for Mercury in Sagittarius
Details? Never heard of them
From November 9th to December 1st, Mercury, the messenger planet, passes through Sagittarius. Mercury is in detriment in this mutable fire sign, which means it faces challenges when tasked with its usual programming. Left to its own devices, Mercury loves to organize and analyze data, which requires precision and focus. But in Sagittarius, this planet prefers a broader scope. It has a horizon chasing, freewheeling, make-up-the-plan-as-you-go-along attitude. Mercury in Sagittarius is on the hunt for capital T Truth, which spurs its sense of adventure. But it’s less concerned with facts and details along the way.
Last Mercury retrograde of 2023
After Mercury leaves Sagittarius for methodical Capricorn, it stations retrograde on December 12th. When it comes to Mercury retrograde, you know the drill: expect delays, slip-ups, faulty tech, and general snafus. But just to make this mess extra dishevelling, retrograde Mercury re-enters Sagittarius on December 22nd.
This means that the second half of the retrograde — until it ends on January 1st, 2024 — will amp up the usual retrograde tricks to max volume. Since Mercury is in detriment in Sagittarius, retrograde Mercury here feels a bit like one giant parade of fill-in-your- favorite expletive.
But it isn’t to be feared or dreaded. In fact, knowing ahead of time that this final retrograde of the year will be chaotic means you can prepare by having flexible expectations.
So while the messenger planet is cavorting in jump-a-motorcycle-through-a-circle-of flames-while-juggling Sagittarius, remind yourself to come back to the task at hand. Ask yourself if you’re spending your energy or other resources wisely. And if you get carried away on an informational joy ride, have fun. There are endless things to learn out there. The trick is remembering when to rein it in.
