Do’s and don’ts of Mercury retrograde: tips from astrologer Angela Pearl

Mercury retrograde is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs three times a year and affects several areas of life simultaneously. The last period of Mercury retrograde in 2024 will begin on November 26 and end on December 15. At this time, the planet will move through the sign of Sagittarius, which means that this Mercury retrograde will have a special impact on the representatives of this sign. In addition to Sagittarius, Mercury retrograde will also be felt by everyone who deals with travel, documents, and communication.

Famous astrologer Angela Pearl shared her recommendations on how to get the most out of this period and what to avoid during this period.

What not to do during Mercury retrograde

According to the astrologer, the sign of Sagittarius rules such areas as traveling abroad, education, and legal matters, so special attention should be paid to these issues. She also emphasizes that the period of retrograde motion is unfavorable for starting new projects and concluding long-term contracts. Therefore, during this period, she advises:

1. Do not start new projects. Angela Pearl says that starting new business can be accompanied by delays, unforeseen circumstances, or the need to renegotiate agreements.
2. Do not make expensive purchases. This is especially true for cars, real estate, and household appliances. The astrologer advises waiting until the retrograde period is over to avoid purchases with possible hidden defects or flaws.
3. Do not sign important documents. If you inevitably have to enter into any agreements or sign contracts, you should carefully check all the terms and conditions to avoid mistakes.
4. Be especially careful when planning your travels. At this time, flight cancellations and delays are quite common. Pearl recommends checking the availability of all documents in advance, arriving at the airport early and checking hotel reservations.
