In the world of astrology, Mercury is called the ‘Prince of Planets’. It rules our intelligence, way of talking and decision making ability. When Mercury is strong in someone’s horoscope, then that person conquers the world with his words, like a big lawyer or leader. But when this Mercury becomes weak or changes its course, then confusion, irritability and fights over small matters start happening in life.
Now this ‘prince’ is about to change his course. From November 9, 2025, the planet Mercury is going ‘retrograde’, that is, it will be seen moving in the opposite direction. Let us know what it means in simple language and which zodiac signs need to be a little careful during this time.
What does ‘Vakri’ or reverse movement mean?
‘Retrograde’ does not mean that a planet actually starts moving backward. This is just a kind of optical illusion. Think of it like you are sitting in a fast train and you overtake a slow train on the adjacent track. For a moment you will feel as if the other train is going backwards, whereas it is also moving forward. Same is the condition of planets also. When our Earth passes near Mercury at its high speed, we feel Mercury moving in the opposite direction. This event happens 3 to 4 times a year and lasts for about 3 weeks.
How long will the effect last?
Mercury Planet 9 November 2025 at 12:29 pm will start moving in the opposite direction in Scorpio from November 29, 2025 at 11:07 pm Will return to the straight path again. During this period, its special impact is seen on conversations, business, travel and decisions.
These 3 zodiac signs will have to be careful
- Aries: This reverse movement of Mercury can bring sudden ups and downs in your life. The tasks which used to be done easily, may now require a little more effort. Do not hurry in any work and remain patient. It will be important to take care of health also.
- Leo: This time will affect your family and home. Be a little cautious about your mother’s health. Take any major decision related to land, house or vehicle very thoughtfully, otherwise losses may occur. Be careful in financial matters also.
- Scorpio: Mercury is moving retrograde in your own zodiac sign, so it will have the most direct and profound impact on you. During this time, you may get respect, but this trick can also make you a little selfish and impatient. Think twice before speaking, otherwise one wrong word of yours can spoil an already established relationship.
What are the easy ways to avoid this?
Some simple measures can be taken to reduce the effects of Mercury retrograde:
- Take refuge in Lord Ganesha: Worship Lord Ganesha on Wednesday and offer Durva to him. They overcome all obstacles.
- Chanting of mantras: Mercury mantra for peace of mind “Om Bum Budhay Namah” Chant it every morning.
- Green Donation: Donate green moong dal, green clothes or green vegetables to the needy on Wednesday.
- Serving Cows: Feeding green fodder to a cow is considered a very virtuous act and it pacifies the planets.
- Emerald Gemstone: If you want to wear a gemstone, then wear real emerald only after taking advice from a good astrologer.
