Sagittarius season means adventure for you, Aries, but Mercury has been retrograde, so this adventure has had some bumps in the road, miscommunications, and delays. The energy shifts on December 1, when Mercury moves backwards from Sagittarius to Scorpio—an emotional water sign that finds you in deep exploration of your past, as well as your fears of the future and the unknown. When we’re fearful, we can become stuck—but Mercury is all about movement. Mercury retrograde in Scorpio wants you to wriggle free from the things that have paralyzed you emotionally, even if it might feel scary and frustrating to revisit things you thought you'd escaped.
