Mercury retrograde has re-entered into force and will last until November 29, 2025. Astrologers warn about possible communication problems, technical failures and deterioration of well-being. For more information, see the Izvestia article.

When will Mercury retrograde end in November

Mercury retrograde is one of the most discussed astrological phenomena, which, according to astrologers, affects communication, technology and well—being of people. In 2025, the third cycle began on November 9th and will last until November 29th.

However, the influence of the planet has been felt for longer: the pre-shadow phase started on October 21, and the post-shadow phase will end around December 16. During this period, experts recommend that you be especially careful when signing documents, planning trips, and communicating.

What problems may arise?

According to astrological observations, Mercury retrograde is often accompanied by misunderstandings and business failures. People may encounter confusion in correspondence, errors in calculations, breakdowns of agreements and technical malfunctions. Gadgets start to work erratically, data is lost, and important meetings are postponed.

Travel delays and logistical problems are also possible. In addition, this period often pushes for a return to the past — old relationships, unfinished projects and emotional conflicts come up.

What diseases can worsen

Although Mercury retrograde has no scientific evidence, many people note changes in their well-being during this period. Most often, there is increased fatigue, irritability, sleep disorders and concentration. Headaches, nervous tension, and anxiety are possible.

In addition, stress and emotional overload often lead to a weakening of the immune system, which increases the risk of colds.

How to mitigate the impact of the period

To minimize the negative impact of Mercury retrograde, it is worth paying attention to details and not rushing into important decisions. It is recommended to double-check the documents several times, save backup copies of the data and confirm the agreements. It is better to avoid new beginnings and focus on completing previously started tasks.

To maintain health, it is useful to limit screen time, it is best to reduce stress levels and pay attention to physical activity. If irritability or anxiety occurs, walking, meditation and moderate exercise will help. And most importantly, remember that any difficulties during this period are temporary and will end with the end of the retrograde phase at the end of November.
