November 9th to November 29th 2025

By burning our GypsyLune Mercury Retrograde Candle it helps keep our focus aware of all the following information!!

The planet Mercury rules communication in all forms—listening, writing, reading, speaking, and so on—as well as activities closely related to communication, like negotiations and contracts. It also rules travel, automobiles, shipping, and mail.

So, when Mercury is retrograde, things in those areas may feel off. This doesn’t mean disaster is guaranteed—but it’s wise to proceed with extra care. 

During Mercury retrograde:

• Avoid signing major contracts or making big purchases.
• Double-check emails, messages, and travel plans.
• Back up your data and devices.
• Be patient—especially with miscommunications.
• Revisit old projects instead of starting new ones.

Flexibility is your friend. You can’t stop your life, but plan ahead, have backup plans, and be prepared for people’s shorter fuses and miscommunication.

Reflecting During Retrograde

Some blame Mercury retrograde for all the chaos that happens in their lives. However, this is a good time to sit back and review what you put your energy toward.

Ask yourself:

• Are you focusing your energy where it matters? If family and faith are important to you, are you putting enough energy there?
• Or, have you overextended in certain areas—like career or obligations—at the expense of relationships or well-being? 

Losing the balance between different parts of your life can cause them to suffer, so being aware of their connections—especially during Mercury retrograde—can help you maintain or at least better understand how that balance works.

Take a moment to reflect. Mercury retrograde can be an excellent time to take a step back and reanalyze who you are and what you are doing—but do refrain from making any drastic changes until after retrograde has ended.
