Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius & Scorpio, Nov 2025 | Sagittarius Rising Horoscope

Sagittarius Rising 1st House: Reframing Your Identity and How You Assert Yourself

With Mercury retrograde joining Mars in your 1st house, the spotlight turns squarely on you, Sagittarius — how you come across, the tone you use, the confidence you project, and the energy that drives your actions.

What begins as bold self-expression may quickly feel tangled in misunderstandings, impatience, or friction. Mars fuels movement and urgency; Mercury invites reflection and recalibration.

Together, they can make you speak before you think or rush into launches, appearances, or conversations that need more finesse.

But beneath the surface static, this transit is rewriting your approach to visibility. You’re testing how your message lands — not just what you say, but how it feels in your body to say it.

This is a time to observe your reactions as data: when you feel defensive, hurried, or misunderstood, you’re learning where your communication or identity still needs editing.

This retrograde isn’t meant to silence you — it’s meant to fine-tune your timing and tone. Rework your introductions, bios, brand statements, or even how you advocate for yourself.

If you’ve been forcing a new direction, allow space for it to breathe and self-correct.

Mars retrograde conjunct Mercury in the first house pulls your attention back to how you present yourself, lead, and initiate action. This is a time when your words and image are redefined — and you might need to reclaim authority over how others see you.

• Physical and personal themes: Motivation around fitness or your body image may surge, but progress can feel slow. You might return to an old workout plan, or revise your approach to body goals.
• Branding & identity: Rebranding or relaunching efforts may face delays. It’s time to refine, not debut. How you introduce yourself to the world (personally or professionally) is being rewritten.
• Interpersonal themes: Because the 1st opposes the 7th, communication with partners (personal or professional) can be tense. You may find yourself reasserting boundaries, renegotiating your role in a contract, or correcting miscommunications.
• Recall element: Reclaiming your confidence, recalling old strengths or ambitions that were left behind.

12th House: Revisiting the Inner World and Hidden Agendas

By the time Mercury moves back into your 12th house, the external noise quiets.

The focus shifts from proving yourself to understanding yourself — from reacting to refining. And when Mercury goes direct, you’ll emerge clearer, calmer, and more congruent — able to act and speak from alignment rather than adrenaline.

In the 12th house (in Scorpio), retrograde Mercury moves into the subconscious, spiritual, and behind-the-scenes realm.

When Mercury stations direct in your 12th house, the fog starts to lift.

You begin gathering clearer insights, not just from external sources, but from your own intuition. What was hidden begins to make sense.

At this time you recognize the patterns that drove your reactions — and can now choose differently.

If certain issues or communications went unresolved in recent weeks, you’ll now see how to close them out thoughtfully. Tidy up loose ends, finalize decisions, and prepare to step forward again — this time with your energy aligned and your message distilled.

What began as visible changes or fresh ideas around your image, brand, or personal direction (while Mercury was in your 1st house) now turns inward for deeper refinement.

What you projected outward — a new look, tone, or initiative — has revealed cracks or hesitations that can only be resolved by stepping back.

The direct motion here helps you reconnect to the why behind those choices, working behind the scenes to align your actions with your true motives and emotional truth.

This is a quieter kind of progress — one that happens off-camera. You might find yourself editing, re-recording, revising, or spiritually resetting before reemerging clearer and more authentic.

The fog lifts slowly, revealing not just what to say next, but what’s worth saying at all.

As Mercury gains speed, so does your inner clarity. The work you do now — whether reworking a project, rethinking how you present yourself, or simply getting reacquainted with your deeper drives — will give your next public steps far more weight and coherence.

• Solitude: Frustration may come from feeling unheard or unseen; Mars can stir restless inner dialogue. Use this time for journaling, meditation, or healing conversations.
• Hidden conflicts: Unspoken tensions or secrets may surface, sometimes through dreams or intuitive insight.
• Health & rest: Guard against burnout; Mars’ fiery energy in this introspective zone can lead to sleeplessness or mental overactivity.
• Sagittarius tone: Exploring truth in a spiritual or philosophical sense — re-examining faith, forgiveness, or self-belief.
• Recall element: Revisiting spiritual practices, past fears, or unfinished emotional healing. Something hidden is ready to be brought into light.

Statement for this transit:

When you listen to what you’ve been saying beneath the noise, your next words become magic.
