3 Zodiacs Undergoing A Mental Reset Before 12/15 (Thanks To Mercury Retrograde)

VIRGO

With Mercury being your ruler, you’re more affected by its retrograde phases than other signs. This time around it lands in your nurturing Fourth House. Think of this transit as a cosmic reset for deepening your sense of home, belonging, and emotional safety. You’re receiving a sacred call to create a personal sanctuary—in the universe within you and the space that surrounds you. This means rethinking and reworking your domestic life and your inner world. Clear out the clutter—from your house and your heart. Reorganize your living abode. Sort through your closets. Take out anything no longer of use to you (or with energy you don’t want) and donate it. Rearrange your furniture. Redecorate. Address any home repairs you’ve been thinking about. Make your home feel cozy—make it feel yours. Internally, it’s also time for a little upkeep and sprucing up. Looking back at the past, as painful as it may be, can lead to healing and personal growth. Identify old emotional wounds and long-held beliefs and patterns keeping you stagnant. Get clarity on what you could be doing to deepen your sense of security. Let go of baggage weighing you down. Become aware of how your family dynamics have shaped you. Acknowledge any generational trauma you want to break. Lay the groundwork for your future stability. This is your chance to rewrite your story. 

SAGITTARIUS

Mercury retrograde falling in your sign and First House is an invitation for a new beginning, one in which you start showing up as your most authentic self. This transit reconnects you with your truth and has you rethinking everything—how you present yourself, how you’re perceived, your entire look, your attitude, your inner narratives, what you find meaningful, your goals, your personal philosophies. This is a period of self-discovery (or rediscovery). You’re becoming inspired to do some exploring to find out who you’re meant to be. You might be thinking of a rebrand or a makeover. Go for it, but maybe hold off on doing anything drastic until Mercury goes direct again. For now, make a vision board, brainstorm, and tweak your personal style. Experiment with wigs, temporary dyes, new clothes, a different perfume, or temporary tattoos. If you want to spruce up your website, brush up your portfolio, or update your resume, go right ahead. These few weeks are going to force you to self-reflect on your personal growth, as well. Using this time wisely could help you enter the new year as an improved you. Get rid of the beliefs, ideas, and patterns that you’ve outgrown. Reimagine what could be—who you could be. How can you restructure your life to embody that person and achieve those dreams of yours? 

CAPRICORN

This transit is all about refilling your cup and closing old chapters. It happens in your Twelfth House of spirituality and the subconscious. This is the sector of your chart that rules over fears, dreams, hidden desires, healing, intuition, and your mental well-being. It will be a profound period of self-undoing. Don’t be resistant when it comes to hitting snooze on everything stressful and demanding. This is a time for turning your attention inward. Resting, reflection, recharging and rejuvenation should be the only things on your list of priorities during these next few weeks. It might be tough for a go-getter such as yourself, but it’s the end of the year, Capricorn, give yourself a break. Prioritize what matters most—what you’ve been neglecting—your inner world. You’ll be better for it once the new year rolls around, this could be a huge turning point. Think of this Mercury retrograde as laying down the groundwork for a new beginning. Whatever cycles must come to an end, must do so now. Give yourself the closure you haven’t gotten, or accept that sometimes there is no such thing. Heal any old wounds you’re still carrying. Break away from draining situations or relationships. Whatever comes up from your past to haunt you, it’s your sign to finally let it go. Feel it. Process it. Journal it out. Release it.
