Mercury retrograde began on November 9 and continues through November 29, as the planet of mental affairs retraces its last steps through the zodiac, causing all sorts of delays, setbacks, or logistical chaos. There's a reason why these retrogrades have a reputation for being a bit of a nuisance, but some zodiac signs will manage to avoid most of the drama this time around.
Some Mercury retrogrades can turn people's lives upside down for weeks, but it all depends on where it falls in your astrological chart. Read below to find out if you're among the zodiac signs least affected by this retrograde.
Aries
If you're an Aries, Mercury's retrograde in November 2025 affects you less than most.
During the first half, you may question beliefs that once seemed unshakable. Your broad perspective, the way you conceive of the world, and your ideals may seem to be under review. Daily life, meanwhile, flows quite smoothly.
In the second half, more deep emotions emerge. Fears and suppressed feelings may surface and force you to confront them. Do this process without fear, because the period around the new moon on November 20 is ideal for leaving behind old burdens.
Libra
Libra is also among the signs least affected by this Mercury retrograde.
In the first ten days, communication requires caution, awkward situations are more likely, but your charm and natural diplomacy will help you smooth them over without drama.
After November 18, money matters become more delicate. You may be tempted by impulse purchases, especially with Black Friday deals, but you'll be better off if you postpone your purchases until after November 29. This period is also favorable for reviewing how you manage your finances and making lasting improvements.
Capricorn
Capricorn is also easily affected by Mercury's retrograde this month.
The first part of the period passes quietly, as the innermost and most isolated area of ??your chart is touched. You may have a feeling that something unfinished is stirring beneath the surface, but this is not the time to squeeze it out or analyze it too much. Let the process come naturally.
Around the new moon on November 20, complications may arise in social circles. Minor misunderstandings or drama between friends may come to the fore, so avoid getting involved in gossip and stay clear.
