Mercury retrograde in November 2025: how will it affect the Russians

In November 2025, Mercury will become retrograde again, affecting the spheres of communication, finance and emotions. Astrologers warn that Russians should prepare for disruptions, rethinking plans and internal changes. For more information, see the Izvestia article.

When and how will the effect manifest itself

In November 2025, Mercury will become retrograde again — its reverse movement will last from November 9 to November 29, but the influence will manifest earlier: the pre-shadow phase will begin on October 21, and the post-shadow will end only by mid-December.

This time, the planet will follow the signs of Sagittarius and Scorpio, which will give the period a dual character — a combination of impulsiveness and deep emotionality.

Communication failures and errors in documents

According to astrologers, the main difficulties of this retrograde cycle are traditionally related to communication, technology and movement. During this period, misunderstandings, disruptions in correspondence, and gadget breakdowns are more common. There may be delays in travel, confusion with bookings, and erroneous calculations.

Experts advise Russians to pay more attention to business correspondence, check documents several times and avoid haste when making decisions.

Financial and operational risks

Mercury retrograde will also affect the business sector. Signing contracts, launching new projects, and investing can lead to unexpected difficulties. Experts recommend not planning large transactions and not making drastic changes to financial strategies.

This period is more suitable for checking old contracts, adjusting the budget and rethinking work processes. Any rash steps during this month can lead to loss of money or reputational risks.

Emotional outbursts and health effects

When Mercury enters the sign of Scorpio, the attention of Russians will shift to inner feelings. Hypersensitivity and the return of old resentments can lead to fatigue and emotional breakdowns.

Astrologers note that the nervous system will be especially vulnerable — insomnia, headaches and decreased concentration are possible. The best thing to do during this period is to slow down, pay attention to rest and recovery, and avoid conflict and overwork.

What will help to pass the period without losses

To mitigate the effects of Mercury retrograde, it is important to remain calm and plan your actions in advance. All documents should be rechecked several times, and important decisions should be postponed until December. A good solution is to end old cases, review priorities, and take time to introspect.
