Mercury stations direct on 13 November 2026 in Scorpio
Mercury stations direct at 5° Scorpio on 13 November 2026, 15:55 UTC (9:25 PM IST), ending the retrograde that began on 24 October 2026.
Mercury rules communication, travel, contracts and technology. Astrologers read its retrograde as a period to review and revise in those areas rather than start something new. Retrograde is an optical effect: the planet appears to move backwards because of the relative motion of Earth and Mercury.
After a station direct a planet slows to a stop and then picks up speed over the following days, so astrologers say its themes gradually move forward again.
