Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius | Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer | Mercury conjunct Mars
As time moves forward, the cosmos asks us to look back.
This is not regression, but integration. A spiral path rather than a straight line. Forward movement requires reflection, and reflection opens the door to wisdom waiting beneath the surface.
This week, two planets turn inward and one powerful conjunction sharpens awareness. Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius, inviting us to re-examine the stories through which we understand life. Jupiter begins its own retrograde in Cancer, guiding the heart toward the inner child and emotional memory. Then Mercury meets Mars, amplifying conviction and mental fire.
Together, they invite us to rethink belief, re-write truth, and remember the faith that lives inside our own being.
November 9, 2025: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius
Welcome to the final Mercury Retrograde of the year, beginning November 9, 2025 and continuing until November 29, 2025.
Here, the messenger planet begins its backward motion through Sagittarius, the realm of wisdom, myth, and meaning.
Mercury rules perception, language, and story: the architecture through which we interpret experience. When Mercury retraces its steps, these patterns loosen. Conversations echo differently. Thoughts that once felt certain begin to breathe again.
As Mercury goes retrograde in Sagittarius, it brings curiosity to belief itself. It asks: What truths do you live by? Which stories have shaped your sense of purpose, faith, and possibility?
If a story has become rigid or outdated, this is your invitation to let it evolve.
Sagittarius wants expansion – but not through more noise or information. Expansion comes through wonder, through the willingness to see again.
Let this retrograde remind you that meaning is alive, that faith is fluid, and that wisdom is a living conversation between you and life.

November 11, 2025: Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer
Two days later, Jupiter, planet of growth and perspective, also turns inward on November 11, 2025, continuing into March 10, 2026.
In Cancer, Jupiter’s generosity becomes emotional, intuitive, and nurturing. Its focus is home: the home we build inside ourselves and the sense of belonging that radiates outward from it.
As Jupiter retraces its path, the inner child awakens. Memories rise, some tender, some unhealed, all carrying messages about what love and safety have meant to us. We are invited to revisit the foundations of care: how we learned to comfort, protect, and express need.
Retrograde motion softens Jupiter’s outward expansion into inner reflection. It asks us to reclaim the pieces of ourselves left behind in earlier chapters – to gather them, soothe them, and bring them forward.
This is emotional integration as spiritual practice. Growth now happens through remembering. Through nourishment. Through faith that what once felt fragmented can be brought back into wholeness.

November 12, 2025: Mercury conjunct Mars in Sagittarius
Mid-week, Mercury meets Mars, fusing thought with action, perception with passion – a meeting happening on November 12, 2025.
This is the second chapter in a three-part story that began on 20 October and will conclude in mid-January 2026.
Where Mercury analyzes, Mars acts. Together, they forge clarity through movement.
In Sagittarius, this energy is fiery, honest, sometimes impatient – but always meaningful. It brings courage to speak truth, to pursue what feels aligned, to match conviction with embodiment.
Because Mercury is retrograde, however, this is less about charging forward and more about refining direction. The mind is being sharpened, not to argue, but to understand.
Words hold power now. So do decisions. They carry the potential to cut through illusion or to reinforce it.
Use this fire wisely. Let it illuminate where thought and action have drifted apart. Re-connect intention with integrity.
When mind and will unite in truth, they become creation itself.
Weekly Astrology Forecast: November 9-15, 2025
Two retrogrades and one fiery meeting of planets turn attention inward while keeping momentum alive.
This is a week for re-storying, re-centering, and re-claiming.
Mercury Retrograde invites you to question the narratives that shape your perception of reality.
Jupiter Retrograde asks you to feel into the emotional roots of faith, belonging, and safety.
Mercury conjunct Mars ignites courage – to speak what you discover, to act on inner knowing, to embody new understanding.
Together, they weave an alchemy of reflection and movement. We are reminded that wisdom is not only learned; it is remembered. That healing is not passive; it is participatory. And that truth is not fixed; it is lived.
This week’s medicine lies in curiosity. Let questions be your compass:
What stories am I living that no longer feel true?
Where do I still seek approval rather than meaning?
What does belonging feel like in my body, and what beliefs support that feeling?
Give yourself time to listen. Retrogrades slow us down so that life can speak through subtler languages – intuition, memory, synchronicity, silence.
Allow both Mercury and Jupiter to turn your gaze inward, toward the landscape of mind and emotion. There you will find the map of your own becoming.
By the week’s end, awareness expands quietly. Conversations echo with deeper understanding. Old philosophies soften into new possibility.
This is not a time to rush clarity; it is a time to meet it. To trust that each pause, each question, each flicker of recognition is guiding you closer to alignment.
