Mercury is the planet that retrogrades the most times a year (between 3 and 4 times), each lasting approximately three weeks . During this period, Mercury's energy—associated with communication, thought, travel, and information management—takes on an introspective rhythm, which can generate reviews, adjustments, and rethinking in these areas. Rather than a phase of chaos or unavoidable problems (it's essential not to dramatize Mercury retrogrades), this transit invites us to pause and reevaluate, allowing us to correct mistakes, reconsider decisions, and address pending issues and details that need greater clarity.

Let's face it: this is an uncomfortable retrograde. Mars is the planet that retrogrades the least frequently—about 70 to 80 days every two years. We're not usually... read more

If we're looking for a month that delivers certainty, December won't be that month. This will be a period that asks us to be adaptable in the face of uncertainty, coexisting with confusion, slowness, and disorder . With Mercury retrograde for half the month, Mars entering retrograde, and Jupiter and Neptune also in retrograde motion (although Neptune will resume direct motion), the feeling of uncertainty will be a central theme. In this context, it is essential to keep fear at bay and work through any feelings of loss of control that may arise. This does not mean ignoring anxiety or... read more
