Mercury enters Sagittarius from Scorpio on 7 November 2030 at 00:31 UTC and stays for 24 days. It leaves for Capricorn on 1 December 2030 at 02:27 UTC, and no retrograde falls within this stay. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter.
The tradition places Mercury in its detriment in Sagittarius, opposite its home sign of Gemini. Astrologers read this as a mind drawn more to the big picture than to detail. They associate the placement with frank speech, teaching, travel plans, philosophy and broad learning. The usual caution is overconfidence: sweeping statements and promises made before the facts are in. A modest suggestion is to choose one larger subject to study this month, and to double check figures and dates before committing to plans.
