On October 29th 2025, Mercury stepped into Sagittarius, trading the shadows of Scorpio for
the vast open skies of the philosopher. We chose to share this reflection a little later than usual, allowing the restless rhythm of Mercury’s passage between signs to settle before his upcoming retrograde on November 9th, when his message begins to reveal its deeper layers.
In Sagittarius, the Messenger of the Gods becomes the wanderer, guided less by logic and more
by vision. His words grow wide, his curiosity turns toward the horizon, and the mind begins to seek meaning in every path that opens before it. Mercury in Sagittarius speaks in stories, not sentences. He reminds us that truth is not a single destination, but a landscape we cross again
and again, each time seeing something new.
This passage is alive with movement. Mars, the God of Action, entered Sagittarius on November 4th, one day before the Full Moon in Taurus. Their paths will meet on November 12th in a conjunction, igniting a spark of bold thought and fearless action. Together, Mercury and Mars awaken a hunger for discovery, a call to speak what feels dangerous to name, and to defend
what is true not through argument, but through lived experience.
Yet, the road ahead bends back upon itself. Mercury begins his retrograde on the 9th, and He
will be retracing his steps through the fields of Sagittarius until He slips once more into Scorpio
on November 18th and 19th. This is not a retreat, but a descent, a return to the undercurrents beneath belief, the hidden motives beneath the grand vision. He will emerge again on December 11th, reentering Sagittarius to finish the year in the Archer's domain, but carrying the deeper wisdom that only reflection can bring.
Mercury in Sagittarius is the storyteller, the mapmaker, the thief of divine sparks. He moves between worlds with a grin, collecting philosophies like treasures, scattering insight like gold
dust. His gift is perspective, the ability to see the thread that connects the sacred and the mundane. Under this sky, words can become prayers, questions can open new doors, and
every conversation holds the possibility of revelation.
This Mercury season is not made for restraint, it is made for vision. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, faith, and philosophical wonder, and here Mercury learns to stretch his language beyond logic into something almost divine. His words reach toward the future, his thoughts burn with conviction, and his curiosity refuses to stay confined by rules. Yet this same fire can scatter, and Mercury must learn discernment, to know which truths are worth carrying, and which are only mirages dressed in belief. When mind and meaning unite with intention, this transit becomes a sacred act of learning, a communion between intellect and intuition.
And so, as Mercury prepares to retrace his steps through Scorpio later this month, there is an invitation to balance what we know with what we feel. Scorpio reminds him that wisdom without depth is hollow, while Sagittarius reminds him that depth without movement can become shadow. The dance between them, through fire and water, thought and emotion, becomes an alchemical journey, one that ends not with answers, but with a more authentic way of seeing.
May this Mercury season guide you to speak with courage, to listen for meaning in the unknown, and to remember that the mind’s truest adventure is always the return to wonder. The mind expands when we dare to explore, and truth, like adventure, begins with curiosity.
Much love to all, Valentina.
