Tarot reading for each sign on what to look out for during Mercury Retrograde
EVERYONE’S favorite retrograde is BACK on November 25the (until December 15).
Mercury retrograde occurs several times a year and often brings with it a few minor travel gremlins, technical issues, and crossed lines of communication, because Mercury rules travel, technology, business, and communication.
13
In a retrograde phase, a planet’s positive influence is reversed or blocked.
This retrograde unfolds in the somewhat chaotic sign of Sagittarius, so pay special attention to travel and communication.
Make sure your plans and intentions are clear and run smoothly. Don’t assume, but check!
However, don’t attach too much importance to this. Carry on with your life as usual. Maybe make sure you have a plan B for any major moves or negotiations you have in the pipeline.
The retrograde dates for Mercury are already available for 2025 if you don’t want to do important business on those dates:
- March 14 – April 7: Starts in Aries and ends in Pisces
- July 17 – August 11: In Leo
- November 9 – November 29: Starts in Sagittarius and ends in Scorpio
My tarot reading for each zodiac sign describes the one thing you should pay attention to between November 25the and December 15e.
Aries – The Wheel of Fortune
13
Are there any major changes in store for those dates?
The Wheel of Fortune is a powerful symbol of transformation, playing out on several fronts, creating ripple effects and domino effects that you may not have seen coming.
Change is a chaotic force. One change leads to another, often beyond your control.
So be prepared for that ripple effect. Expect the unexpected.
Leave extra time and energy to deal with whatever arises and know that everything will work out in the end.
Taurus – Page of Swords
13
An important discussion, negotiation, deal or agreement you have with someone younger or younger than you may be fraught with crossed wires.
Maybe the age difference causes this, maybe the fact that they don’t listen to you 100%.
Do not assume that your words have been heard, understood and heeded.
Follow-up: another meeting the next day, with questions to check understanding, or even in writing.
Make sure you work hard to get your message across. Don’t assume they’ll “get it” the first time.
Gemini – The Rook
13
Something related to technology or travel may go wrong and break or encounter a major obstacle this month, BUT you shouldn’t worry or fear this event because (deep down you know it’s coming anyway) it a necessary ‘breakdown’ to remove this blur or false enterprise or possession from your life.
Everything comes to an end. This has been a long time coming and it’s actually a relief that it has revealed itself, even if the end comes suddenly.
Make sure you have your insurance, contracts, administration, coverage and contact lists ready for any travel or technology upgrades in the pipeline.
Be ready to replace or reduce, and move on to a new version of what you need.
Cancer – Three of Cups
13
Pay attention to your social life and friendship circle during this retrograde.
Make sure you are heard, messages arrive quickly and accurately, invitations are sent and received, and plans are understood by everyone.
As we approach the holidays, things become busier, more hectic, and more prone to crossed wires.
Don’t give up your wonderful social plans because the message didn’t get through.
Make sure everyone knows what’s happening, when, and is ready to party!
Leo – Knight of Wands
13
Your worst enemy this retrograde is the temptation to RUSH. The Knight of Wands is the captain of FOMO and says yes to everything, bites off more than he can chew and then runs around in a huff trying to do it all.
Which inevitably leads to disappointments, accidents, missed opportunities and poor results. Don’t be him.
Only agree to what you really need or want to do. Leave plenty of room in your agenda, because it will get busier.

13
You’ll be starting this retrograde with a new activity: a class, a physical hobby, a creative project, a travel or getaway plan, or a lifestyle ritual. It’s going to be beautiful and rewarding and it’ll keep you busy and satisfied all season long, but… make sure you start it off right.
Complete all the necessary steps, make sure you’ve done the right things, ask questions about anything you don’t understand, and take extra time to get started.
Start well, don’t be put off by the retrograde because this new activity is very rewarding.
Libra – King of wands
13
You create a new goal or ambition and put it at the top of your agenda this retrograde.
It could be related to work, health and wellbeing, creative or artistic skills, or travel. Do your homework, Libra!
Don’t rush to get started because the more time you have to prepare, the easier the ride to success.
Spend extra time thinking about the potential risks, hurdles or unanswered questions and take the time to address them. Well started, well delivered.
Scorpio – Ten of Wands
13
The extra hustle and bustle that Mercury retrograde brings (things taking a little longer, finishing your to-do list, errors that need to be resolved, etc.) make you feel a bit tired.
So make sure that there is enough room for relaxation and deep rest during your weekend or free time.
Do not overload the agenda and do not take on additional obligations now. Keep it loose and relatively easy going.
You are an intense person, you always give everything you want. Do the same for your own well-being and physical energy level.
Sagittarius – Ace of Swords
13
If you want to have an open and honest dialogue with someone close to you (perhaps about something a little prickly or controversial), please go into it with your words rehearsed and with a lot of patience and compassion.
You’re known for blurting out harsh truths without a filter. Don’t be like that.
The Ace of Swords reveals that your dialogue will reveal interesting truths and things you did not know or appreciate.
Everyone has secrets, everyone carries their own pressures, and through this discussion you will discover new depths.
Be willing to listen more than talk and watch your words when you do so.
Leave no room for misunderstandings. Calmly seek clarity.
Capricorn – The Hanged Man
13
The key word during this Mercury retrograde is DELAY. The Hanged Man is a card of limbo and shows that something will be postponed or held up.
It will be frustrating, but I’m here to say there’s nothing useful you can do except surrender to it and use the break to do something else.
Things will unravel and start happening again, but in a new way, on a different path… and it will actually turn out that it was for the best.
Unseen forces conspire to push you in a new direction!
Aquarius – Three of coins
13
If you’re doing a presentation, proposal, interview, job application, or pitch during this Mercury retrograde, be sure to double-check all your gear, content, speech notes, and travel plans. Have a plan B and C.
The Three Coins shows that whatever you do will go well and you will make a good impression, and that will be helped by extra vigilance, so do some extra research and planning. It will not be lost.
Pisces – Three of Swords
13
This retrograde will bring a little challenge that as you deal with these issues, you’ll notice who supports and helps you… and who doesn’t.
There is a snake in the grass at your feet (you instinctively know who it is) and it will reveal itself this month.
They may seem to sneer at your misfortune, or withdraw, or withhold help that you KNOW they can give you.
Don’t let this pass you by. Notice it, absorb it and act on it. Not everyone deserves your magical presence and energy.
