Astro-Strategic Solutions | Mercury Retrograde Begins November 9
While Mercury’s in reverse, let’s keep our communities in drive! Mercury is stationing retrograde starting November 9, and it’s steering our collective energy right through the crossroads of communication, coordination, and community operations.
When the planet of messages, movement, and planning appears to move backward, it often brings mix-ups and misfires. But in the municipal world, that’s just another opportunity to refine, review, and realign.
Here’s how Mercury’s backspin may show up across the zodiac and in our cities & towns:
♈ Aries – Slow your roll before launching new initiatives. Double-check public messaging and outreach before pressing “send.”
♉ Taurus – Budget reviews and resource planning take center stage. Expect delays, but trust that recalibration leads to long-term stability.
♊ Gemini – Your ruling planet is retrograde! Expect crossed wires and shifting schedules. Stay flexible — clarity returns soon.
♋ Cancer – Emotional tides rise in local collaboration. Listen more, react less — empathy is your greatest asset right now.
♌ Leo – Leadership under review. Shine through the confusion by focusing on clear communication and transparent decisions.
♍ Virgo – Details matter more than ever. Audit systems, policies, and procedures before they ripple into larger issues.
♎ Libra – Partnerships and public engagement may wobble. Revisit agreements and prioritize harmony in negotiations.
♏ Scorpio – With Mercury retrograding in your sign, transformation is key. Reflect before responding — deep insights await.
♐ Sagittarius – Miscommunication could spark in council discussions or community boards. Practice patience before pushing forward.
♑ Capricorn – Project timelines might bend but not break. Reassess what’s realistic — long-term progress thrives on adaptability.
♒ Aquarius – Technology hiccups or data misfires could arise. Back up your systems and keep innovation steady.
♓ Pisces – Intuition reigns supreme. When logic falters, trust your gut — especially in public or community decisions.
💡 Municipal takeaway: Mercury retrograde isn’t about panic — it’s about preparation. Rethink strategies, recheck details, and reconnect with your teams. In reflection, we find stronger alignment and smoother flow once Mercury stations direct again.
