The last retrograde mercury of 2024 is there, and with it that classic energy: lost emails, unnecessary discussions and technology to fail at the worst moments. It looks like chaotic, right? But, in fact, this retrograde - November 25th to December 15th - It's more than a cosmic setback.
It is the ultimate opportunity to Reassess the year, make final adjustments and enter 2025 with the mind (and energies) in the right place. Spoiler: You don't have to be as dramatic as it seems, as long as you know how to navigate this period with some intelligent strategies.
What is retrograde mercury (and porque)?
When Mercury is "retrograde", the planet seems to walk back in the sky (it's just a trick of perspective, don't panic). In astrology, Mercury rules communication, technology and travel, which means that these areas can be… sensitive.
That's why:
- The important email can "disappear".
- The job trip can have delays.
- A simple conversation can become confusion.
But instead of blaming Mercury, see this as an invitation to stop, think and adjust.
How to manage retrograde Mercury?
Here are some practical tips to go through this period without unnecessary dramas:
1. Think twice before acting
During retrograde mercury, everything involving communication or big decisions may need more attention.
- Postpone great decisions, if possible: This is not the best time to sign contracts or make drastic changes.
- Confirm everything twice: Trips, messages, deadlines… It doesn't cost to be extra careful.
2. Clean the environment (and the head)
If things look like uncontrolled, a break can do miracles. Light a little white sage or Pau Santo to clean the space around you.
- Take the opportunity to define a simple intention, such as "focus" or "calm".
- A lighter environment helps deal with unforeseen events.
3. Don't expect perfection
Things won't run as planned - and it's okay. Retrograde Mercury is not about control, but about adaptation. Be flexible:
- Plan extra time for delays.
- Practice patience when technology does not collaborate (we already know how it is).
4. Use the moment to rethink and reorganize
This period is ideal for reflecting. Take our Intuitive letters And dedicate a few minutes to yourself:
- Ask yourself: Is there anything in my life that needs to be adjusted?
- Write your intentions: Review projects, improve a relationship or even organize your closet.
