From October 29th, 2025, to January 1st, 2026, Mercury — the planet of thinking and communication — moves through bold Sagittarius. Cue: unscripted TED Talks, all-caps photo captions, and spontaneous debate tournaments. This mutable fire sign doesn’t sweat the small stuff; it’s more concerned with taking in the big picture and understanding a wide range of perspectives. When the messenger planet is in this adventurous sign, it’s known for shooting off blunt truths and hot takes like arrows — not always with tact, but all in the spirit of fun. As Mercury in Sagittarius teaches us, life’s too short to be taken seriously 100% of the time.
But it’s not all overflowing reading lists and off-the-cuff op-eds. From November 9th to November 29th, Mercury is retrograde, unleashing mix-ups, miscommunications, and overall “unsend text” energy. All the usual retrograde rules apply: Triple-check your emails, back up your files, and have a sense of humor. There’s no avoiding mistakes during this period, but you can choose to laugh them off and carry on. And if you find yourself soapboxing, oversharing, or causing chaos, don’t worry — you can always pick up the mess and mend any hurt feelings later. After all, getting a little humbled every now and then helps us grow, so take this opportunity to loosen up and roll with the bloopers.

You don’t get any wiser when everyone agrees with you. You grow through questioning your own ideas. Mercury in Sagittarius is inviting you to express your fiery opinions a little more boldly. Challenge what your teachers tell you, debate the trolls in the comments section, and argue in your head with the author of every book you read.
Pushing back doesn’t have to be aggressive. When handled with care, it’s actually a form of respect. Just stay open to changing your mind. You learn much more when you’re willing to play the fool.
Telling the truth can be healing. While Mercury is in Sagittarius, put words to the heartaches, disappointments, or betrayals that have hurt you. It doesn’t matter if you share them with a therapist, a wise friend, or your private diary. Just resist editing your thoughts as much as possible.
Sometimes you have to say the hard thing in a messy, vulnerable way so you can understand your experiences in a new light. When you’re honest about the baggage you’re carrying from the past, you can build stronger and more supportive partnerships in the present.
What truths have you been holding back in your closest relationships? Mercury in Sagittarius wants you to spill them.
Pay attention to the words you almost say to your besties and loved ones. What’s stopping you? Don’t throw your sense of decency or tact out the door. Just loosen up your self-expression. Being as honest as possible can get messy, but it can also clear old blockages and help you move forward. Take the risk of being direct.
Learning to tell the unfiltered truth is a lifelong process. Now that Mercury is in Sagittarius, embrace it. Trust your instincts when you’re chatting with others. What do you actually want to say, and what’s holding you back from saying it?
Above all, be honest about what is or isn’t working in your routines. If something’s gotta give in your daily grind or your wellness practices, quit hiding. The sooner you admit what’s keeping you stuck, the sooner you can change it.
If you really want to enjoy yourself, you can’t hide behind a mask all the time. While Mercury is in Sagittarius, telling the truth can reconnect you to a sense of playfulness and creativity.
Savor the pleasure of saying exactly what you want in your art projects, hobbies, or flirtations. Don’t aim to please; aim to be free. Even just being more honest with yourself can help you figure out how to bring more delight into your life. So quit holding back. Your transparency makes you magnetic.
It can be hard to tell the truth to the people we call family. But Mercury in Sagittarius is inviting you to try. If you’ve been holding back, ask yourself why. What were your earliest experiences of sharing your unedited thoughts? Did you feel free to express yourself openly and directly, or were you taught to filter your ideas and opinions?
Explore these questions gently and patiently. If being totally honest makes you feel vulnerable, there’s probably a deep reason. Get to the source, and you’ll find ways to get unstuck.
The world doesn’t need your words to be perfectly polished. Mercury in Sagittarius wants you to share your hot takes, unhinged opinions, and thought-provoking questions. So offer them up.
Pay attention to the topics that excite you, and notice if you start to tone down your enthusiasm. Push back against the notion that you have to express yourself in calm, logical, rational ways. Sometimes what a conversation really needs is a jolt of liveliness. Being a little messy can help you connect with your audience.
Be honest about your money. How else will you figure out better ways to work with your resources? Mercury in Sagittarius is asking you to be real about the state of your finances. If you have any unhelpful patterns, name them. If you’re excited about certain opportunities, own them.
Don’t waste time hiding from the facts of where you are now, where you want to go, and what’s stopping you from getting there. Clarifying your goals will make it much easier to create more abundance.
Get to the point. Mercury in Sagittarius wants you to be honest about what you think, feel, and need. Why? Because lying to yourself and others wastes time and energy. Rip the band-aid off. The sooner you drop the act, the easier it will be for you to make progress on your goals for yourself and your relationships.
But a note of caution: Being real doesn’t have to mean being rude. A spoonful of sugar can help the unfiltered ranting go down.
Your unhelpful habits and self-sabotaging behaviors are calling — and they’d like a word with you. While Mercury is in Sagittarius, quit hiding from your own thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Spend some solo time with your inner critics, and ask yourself whether their judgments are serving your growth or holding you back.
It can be hard to identify the limiting narratives we’ve absorbed from other people. Remind yourself that they’re not the whole truth so you can have more honest and encouraging conversations with yourself.
Let the group chat get a little unhinged. While Mercury is in Sagittarius, don’t hold back with your friends. Sharing your unfiltered thoughts with besties, whether IRL or online, energizes your relationships.
Telling the truth can also help you get to the heart of any sticky issues in your social circles. So be honest about what’s been complicated in your connections. If you’re not sure how something will land, run it past your most considerate pal. When in doubt, a bit of tact can go a long way.
If you want to be a leader, you have to let people know what inspires you. Mercury in Sagittarius wants you to figure out what’s guiding your life’s work. It doesn’t matter if you’re running for public office or volunteering for a local organization. Just share the “why” behind what you do.
When you clarify the bigger picture of your mission, you’ll naturally motivate others to join in and cheer you on.
