One Sagittarius season disruptor incoming: Mercury retrograde

Five days into Sagittarius season 2024, the last Mercury retrograde cycle of the year begins.

On November 25, communication planet Mercury does its about-face in visionary Sagittarius—until December 15. So, basically until almost Christmas, Kwanzaa and Hanukkah.

Mercury retrograde is always a beneficial time to review and reevaluate plans, itineraries, passwords, relationships and more. But when it disrupts expansive Sagittarius season, you may experience feelings of whiplash. That’s because action plans you fire up full-throttle at the beginning of Sagittarius season can hit some hard speed bumps when Mercury turns retrograde. Frustrating, for sure, but the three-week event invites you to slow your roll and rethink your plans. In the longrun, you might be grateful for the forced slowdown.

Your urge to travel may be too insatiable to resist during Sagittarius season since this sign is the zodiac’s jetsetter. If you can slip off for a getaway, pack your bags and find a trustworthy booking. With Mercury retrograde from November 25 to December 15, this is not the chance to test out any sketchy rentals.

Travel doesn’t require a suitcase

Sagittarius season also includes travel in the metaphoric, more wallet-friendly, sense. There’s always more to learn about cultural sensitivity, for example. Check out books, virtual lectures and inter-office training programs to expand your perspective. Sagittarius rules education. What could you learn before the year is through? (Or enroll in a class now to get 2025 off to a powerful start!)

Find new ways to flex your entrepreneurial muscles, or just your muscles

Organize a mastermind group or set up shop at a holiday pop-up sale or maker’s fair—or on Etsy. This sporty solar cycle could get you bundled up and onto the slopes or onto your yoga mat to warm your body from the inside out.

Cast a wider net (but don’t compromise)

With el Sol beaming into this broad-reaching zodiac sign for a month, stretch WAY beyond your comfort zone and see what else is out there. Be welcoming and open to diverse perspectives and backgrounds, a welcome departure from the divisive U.S. Election season. Note: being open doesn’t mean compromising your morals.

Sagittarius also encourages transparency and honesty, so if you need to have an air-clearing talk with someone in your life, do it now before you get swept away in holiday festivities, whichever you celebrate.

Love breaks type during Sagittarius season

Convinced that you have a type? Guess again. The next four weeks could dispel any such myths as the Sun spreads its wings in broad-minded Sagittarius. You may fall head over Hokas for someone’s adorable accent or their refreshingly different perspective on life.

Unearthing common ground will be equally enchanting. And if surface appearances tell a different tale, your love story could provide inspiration for other couples who believe in free-dating. And that’s exactly the point. Rather than judging a book by its cover, delve into everyone’s story with the spirit of discovery.

Do this even if you’re half of an “old marrieds” pair. Human beings are dynamic creatures, after all. You may think you know your S.O. inside and out, until you approach them with what the Buddhists call “beginner’s mind.” Converse with limitless curiosity, as if you were meeting for the first time. You might just fall in love all over again—or get so damn real that you establish a whole new level of intimate communication.

Aries (March 19-April 19)

November 21 kicks off the radiant Sun’s annual monthlong sojourn through fellow fire sign Sagittarius and your ninth house of travel, adventure and expansion.

If your work or passion involves foreign countries, this is an excellent time to test the waters. Set up fare alerts for desired destinations or just be packed and prepared to carpe the diem!

Taurus (April 19-May 20)

You might find that passion is contagious over the coming four weeks as the luminous Sun grooves through Sagittarius and your eighth house of eroticism and intimacy.

From November 21 to December 21, you’ll be more switched on by powerfully raw bonding and soulful exchanges. Couples might surprise themselves with how deep they can go if they overlook the petty stuff and reconnect on THAT level.

The Sun says sayonara to your sign on November 21 as it spins into Sagittarius and your second house of pragmatism and money until December 21.

Been hoping for a whole-system reboot? Get ready to hit the psychic reset button, Archer. The Sun leaves your introspection zone on November 21 and blasts into your sign for the next month.

Once you get rid of the old, you’ll have the space to bring in the new and exciting. Clear your home of the stale, dense energy, then dive into action! Let yourself chase after those shiny people and things you adore, at least during your birthday season, which lasts until December 21.

Capricorn (December 21-January 19)

Slow your roll, Cap! Okay, you’re not typically the first one out of the starting gate; Goats are methodical, efficient climbers. But starting November 21, as the Sun slinks into Sagittarius and your twelfth house of rest, reflection and healing, honor your body and take even more time for yourself. Clear non-essential obligations from your calendar and definitely bail on plans with people who sap your energy. For the next four weeks of Sagittarius season, climb into bed earlier than usual (or take regular disco naps before those holiday parties) and unplug all electronic devices an hour before that!

Aquarius (January 19-February 18) 

‘Tis the season to prioritize friends and loved ones! The luminous Sun bolts into Sagittarius on November 21, charging up your eleventh house of teamwork and technology for the next four weeks. Collaborations will be especially rewarding and, if you connect with the right people, productive AND profitable. Bonus points if you’re working on a digital venture. Be careful not to fall into the workaholic trap, though. Sagittarius season is your annual time to devote to your inner circle. But since there’s so many of THEM and only one you, think in terms of group hangs.

Success is practically written in the stars—IF you’re willing to put in the effort, Pisces. The Sun beams into Sagittarius on November 21, electrifying your tenth house of career success until December 21. You may have to show up at parties or industry events a little late to finish some deadlines or talk to people in Asia, but it’ll be well worth it when the bonus checks get signed. Remember, those holiday gatherings can and should double as networking events during Sagittarius season. Don ye now that pro apparel!
