2024 is closing out with a memorable Sagittarius season, which entails the final Mercury retrograde of the year. Get ready for a wild and funky ride with this one. Mercury is the younger sibling to Jupiter, which is the ruling planet of Sagittarius. Currently, Jupiter is transiting Gemini in the sky. Therefore, the two ruling planets Mercury and Jupiter have swapped by trading the zodiac signs that they rule this month. How unique is that?
It’s certainly not a common occurrence. This makes for an interesting stop-and-go cosmic game of bumper cars. When Mercury is in Sagittarius, it’s not feeling so confident because it has to perform at a higher octave that meets the standards of Sagittarius, and Sagittarius is used to Jupiter’s abundant and exuberant energy. Therefore, making Mercury feel constantly judged, less than and awkward. This Mercury retrograde might make you feel like your ideas are all over the place, and you can’t seem to explain yourself as eloquently as you might be used to or would like. Practice thinking before you speak at this time as well.
This is a great month to watch your reactions and triggers, because you could feel easily agitated. Much of that is due to a Mars retrograde in Cancer that starts on Dec. 6th. Mars in Cancer wants to shout and cry simultaneously whenever it feels misunderstood or abandoned. There could be minor disputes among peers, the workplace or some that directly affect you due to this transit. The best advice is to certainly express how you feel, but with a simultaneous Mercury retrograde happening, self-soothe and regulate before you act on impulse.
The Sagittarius new moon offers a fresh approach filled with optimism and enthusiasm on Dec. 1st. You can expect a lot of motivation and momentum thanks to a positive boost by Mars in Cancer creating a trine to this new moon. Yes, we’re experiencing two retrogrades this Sagittarius season, but the Sagittarius new moon is an exception to the rule when it comes to going forth and starting something fresh. It’s time to manifest!
