On November 13, 2026, both Mercury, the planet of communication, and Venus, our alluring celestial body of love, affection, and money, station direct. Be gone, retrograde season! With a surge of positive energy arriving on none other than Friday the 13 (a day typically known for chaos), we’re in for pleasant surprises.
With Mercury pacing backward in Scorpio since October 24, we’ve coped with brain fog regarding unexpected emotions, struggling to find the words to articulate complex inner transformations.
Venus retrograde kicked into gear in Scorpio on October 3, later shifting back into Libra on October 25. Relationships have also felt unnecessarily complicated, with financial concerns likely not helping our overwhelm.
The post-retrograde shadow periods last until November 30 for Mercury and December 15 for Venus. Yes, we’ll need time to regain our usual momentum. Still, it’s time to revel in a win! There’s no shortage of cosmic relief when this double retrograde cycle comes to a close.
Check for your sun and rising signs.
