Astrotribe: The last Mercury Retrograde of 2025

✴️ Mercury Moonwalks into Mars’ Firepit (Week of November 10)

Okay y’all — buckle your seatbelts, because Mercury is retrograde and it’s about to tango (or maybe spar) with Mars.

Mercury is backing up into Mars, and Mars is galloping forward into Mercury. It’s like two coworkers running into each other in the hallway — one spilling her coffee, the other dropping his phone.

So what’s the theme this week? Review. Revisit. Re-say. Re-do. Re-clarify.

We’re reviewing the good that’s been growing in our lives — the steady progress, the subtle joy, the new habits and healthy choices. But Mercury being retrograde means we’re also asked to discern what still deserves our nourishment… and what needs to compost back into the cosmic soil.

Because let’s be honest — not everything we plant deserves to bloom forever. Some things were just meant to sprout, teach us something, and dissolve.

Now, let’s talk about Mars in Sagittarius.

Mars here is full of fire, optimism, and “let’s just do it” energy. This isn’t your calm and collected Mars. This is your galloping-horse, big-vision, tell-it-like-it-is Mars.

Sagittarius loves a quest, and when Mars is in the mix, we don’t just set out on the adventure — we kick open the gate and charge toward it at full speed, laughing loudly and maybe knocking over a few fences in the process.

Meanwhile, Mercury — our cosmic messenger — highlights whatever planet it’s hanging out with. So when Mercury meets Mars, our thoughts, words, and messages get louder. Sharper. More direct. Mercury here is like the town crier announcing Mars-type issues:

Conflict.

Action.

Boundaries.

The truth we’ve been avoiding but can’t keep dodging anymore.

This is a time for closing loops — returning to the conversations we never finished, the projects we left half-done, the hard truths we quietly swept under the rug. It’s time to go back, pick them up, and finish what we started — with honesty, courage, and add some humour to keep things human.

Will it be comfortable? Probably not. Mercury + Mars rarely is.

But it will be clarifying. And I’ll say it: clarity is kindness.

Without clarity, we can’t actually be kind — we just end up manipulating each other, hoping to dodge discomfort and get away with everything.

So if you find yourself needing to say “that” thing this week — the thing that’s been sitting in your throat, the truth that might cause a little division — say it gently, but say it true. Because truth doesn’t destroy what’s real. It just clears the clutter so the real can breathe again.

🌙 Rest as a Radical Move

As Mars and Mercury conjuncts this week, the energy can feel hot, jittery, or mentally overstimulating — like your brain’s running a group chat with twelve open tabs.

So in these coming days, don’t underestimate the power of a nap, a quiet cup of tea, or an unreasonably long shower. Rest is not laziness — it’s compost time. It’s where all the noise settles and the insights take root.

Let things slow down. Let conversations breathe. Let your body integrate what your mind is processing. Because when Mercury stations direct again on November 29th, you’ll thank yourself for not sprinting through every fire.
