The Mercury Retrograde Survival Guide: Scorpio Secrets + the Cazimi Clarity Window
In this episode of Stellar Sisters, we dive into the final Mercury Retrograde of 2025 — a powerful one that moves through both Sagittarius and Scorpio. It’s a cycle that invites us to slow down, revisit old patterns, and rediscover what’s meaningful beneath the noise.
Mercury retrograde gets a bad reputation, but in truth, it’s one of the most restorative transits in astrology. It’s a time to pause, reflect, and realign. When we stop trying to push forward, clarity begins to surface, especially once Mercury stations direct which will occur in Gate 43, the Gate of Insight.
Throughout the conversation, Sydney and Shaniel explore:
✨ The energetics of Mercury Retrograde, what it really means and how it can influence communication, technology, travel, and decision-making.
✨ The shadow phases and how the pre- and post-shadow periods can be just as revealing as the retrograde itself.
✨ Practical do’s and don’ts: tips for navigating this period with ease, from slowing down your pace to avoiding impulsive purchases (especially around Black Friday).
✨ How Mercury in Sagittarius and Scorpio shapes the themes of this retrograde: truth, depth, and transformation.
✨ Gate 43 in Human Design and the deeper meaning behind Mercury stationing direct in the Gate of Insight.
✨ The Scorpio New Moon + Mercury Cazimi and how this celestial moment brings a burst of light and understanding in the middle of the retrograde fog.
✨ The Sun and Moon in Gate 14, the Gate of Abundance, reminding us to align our energy and resources with what truly lights us up.
✨ Uranus’ final return to Taurus and what this last shake-up of stability might reveal before Uranus settles into Gemini for its long stay.
This conversation is a reminder that Mercury Retrograde is not here to disrupt, but to realign. When we resist the rush, rest becomes medicine. Old challenges can find resolution, forgotten insights resurface, and space opens for genuine renewal.
As Mercury retraces its steps through the depths of Scorpio and the wisdom of Sagittarius, we’re invited to reclaim clarity.
So if you’ve been feeling mentally scattered, technologically cursed, or emotionally heavy, this episode will help you ground back into perspective.
