Wednesday, OCTOBER 29

Mercury forms a trine to Neptune early today in the final degree of Scorpio and Pisces, respectively. However, Mercury enters Sagittarius today, and then it opposes Uranus. Life can feel a bit chaotic with different views of a situation and contrary opinions standing out. Our understanding of a matter does a one-eighty.

The Mercury-Uranus opposition can produce mental tension, miscommunication, changes of mind or plans, and resistance to ideas. These, however, can lead to new insights if we’re open to them. We can be confrontational or controversial. As such, it may not be the best time to present an argument or an important idea, but friction can challenge us to learn more about our own minds and opinions. Epiphanies and unusual insights can occur now, or surprising news might arrive that turns our perception of a situation on its head.

Mercury will transit Sagittarius for a longer time than usual and in two steps due to Mercury’s upcoming retrograde cycle (from November 9th to the 29th). The first step is from today until November 18th, and the second step will happen from December 11th, 2025, until January 1st, 2026.

In between these dates, Mercury will return to the sign of Scorpio while retrograde, turn direct, and then finish its transit of the sign.

Mercury in Sagittarius is curious, questioning, and brave with thoughts and ideas. Our thinking is optimistic, and our faith increases. However, we are not always very precise or detail-oriented during this cycle.

While Mercury changing signs and opposing Uranus can produce some tension, particularly on mental levels, today’s Mars-Saturn trine is stabilizing. With this influence, we value endurance and perseverance. Carefully picking and choosing our activities comes naturally now. Still, we feel more productive, directed, and purposeful.

A slow, steady, methodical approach works best under this influence. If we can tune out the distractions, we get the job done, and we’re thorough! This trine favors discipline, moderation, tradition, pacing ourselves, temperance, and realism.
