Embracing Deliberate Reflection During Mercury Retrograde
November 9 - November 29
Introduction
From Sunday, November 9, through November 29, we are advised to engage in a period of thoughtful review. Rather than viewing the past with sentimentality, this time calls for a pragmatic approach—focusing on recognizing successful strategies that have worked before and addressing any unresolved matters that still require attention.
The Importance of Deliberate Pause
Much like taking a moment to pause before starting a significant journey, the Mercury retrograde period encourages us to slow down and reflect. This is a time to review, revisit, edit, repair, and introspect, ensuring that we are well-prepared before moving forward into new phases of our lives. While it is not necessary to halt all activities, this interval provides a valuable opportunity to address tasks or projects that have previously been delayed.
Recommended Actions During This Period
Revisit and revise existing plans to ensure they align with current goals.
Organize both personal and professional affairs for greater clarity and efficiency.
Reconnect with past contacts, whether for clarity, closure, or renewed collaboration.
Benefits of Reflective Preparation
By embracing this window for measured and patient action, you can sharpen your intentions and thoughtfully prepare for future endeavors. The groundwork established during this reflective interval helps to build confidence and provides a solid foundation for progress once the Mercury retrograde cycle concludes.
