Fun Fact: The reason you hear about Mercury retrograde so often is because it happens 4 times a year! This is because Mercury is really fast, and it completes its orbits around the sun in 88 days. Since it's moving sooo quickly, we get an optical illusion that makes it look like it's going backward—aka Mercury retrograde.
Mercury retrograde is happening Nov 25-Dec 15, and it can mess with a lot of things. Communication gets misinterpreted, traveling can get delayed, and technology might act up. The past has a way of resurfacing in unexpected ways. It definitely is a chaotic time, but I would especially focus on communication moving throughout it. Since a lot of miscommunication can happen which can lead to resentment, I think it's important to communicate more than you usually do, even if it feels like a lot. Also, double-check appointments or dates you've made so that you don't confuse your plans!
I remember seeing somewhere that Mercury retrograde comes with a lot of "re-" words like revisit, reconnect, and readdress—basically, it's a time to go back and reflect on the past. If there's something unresolved, it will probably show up in your life again. How you choose to move forward with that is totally up to you! You don’t have to “fix” anything if you don’t want to—what matters most is your relationship with yourself and how you feel inside. This is just a reset so that you can feel renewed and ready to move forward. Take this time to rest so that you can start again with a clear perspective.
