Mercury retrograde and new moon: what the stars portend for the period from November 25 to December 1

The main event of this week will be Mercury's retrograde, which will begin on November 25 and last until December 15.  Professional astrologer Ksenia Bazylenko told UNN readers how this and other astronomical events will affect all the signs of the zodiac.

"During Mercury retrograde, information processes slow down, and everything happens with delays: meetings, transportation, and flights may be postponed. Most importantly, mutual understanding between people becomes difficult, it will be hard to hear and understand each other. During this period, it is undesirable to make large purchases or enter into important transactions. However, life does not stop there. If you need to act, do so, but be prepared for possible delays or difficulties in communication," the astrologer explained.

Mercury will be retrograde in the sign of Sagittarius. This means that there may be difficulties in traveling between countries, and complications in long-distance travel. In international relations, there may be a return to complex and unresolved problems. Difficulties in education may force students to retake exams or tests. Therefore, the educational process should be approached very carefully and scrupulously.  

During the year, we encounter Mercury retrograde four times. So we should use these periods to our advantage. During the Mercury retrograde period, it is great to complete the tasks you have started, take stock of your work, meet people whose meetings were previously postponed, organize documents, and finish homework. However, it is undesirable to start major repairs during this period. It's also a time for favorite things we've been putting off, like reading a book or watching a movie

Another important event of this week will be the new moon - December 1 at 08:21 Kiev time in the sign of Sagittarius.  

"Traditionally, in a new moon's horoscope, the Sun and Moon are conjunct, symbolizing the birth of a great power that will grow during the growing moon. That's why it's important to plan for the next month and make wishes during the new moon. The new moon is the beginning of a new cycle that gives rise to something new. In the sign of Sagittarius, this will allow you to take a broader look at existing problems, update your outlook and learn something new.  

At the time of the new moon, the Sun and Moon will be in a great aspect to Mars, which will give more strength and energy, allow you to actively achieve your most ambitious plans and desires, and express yourself vividly. At the same time, Mars will be in a weakened, but still opposed to Pluto during this period, which indicates the continuation of active hostilities," the astrologer explained.

The tense aspect of the Sun and Moon to Saturn will create limitations in business and may cause psychological fatigue.  

"A great aspect at the time of the New Moon will be the aspect of Venus to Uranus. It will bring renewal in feelings, the possibility of falling in love at first sight, an unexpected revival of old relationships, or an easy way to improve what you have today. The same planets will be in a great aspect to Neptune. This triumvirate of planets will allow people of art to be in a state of inspiration and fully realize themselves," Bazylenko added.
