Venus & Mercury Retrograde Guidebook: Oct-Dec 2026

Retrograde season usually arrives without a map...
Messages get misread. Old names show up in your inbox. A purchase from last spring suddenly needs a second look. This fall it happens twice, because Venus and Mercury both go retrograde, and for three weeks they review at the same time.

The Double Review gives you the map!
Find your rising sign, read your chapter, and you will know which part of your life is under review, which dates matter most, and what to do in each phase. When something old resurfaces, you will recognize it as part of the season and know what to do with it.

By December, you will have:

• Understood why the season feels the way it does, house by house

• Read your agreements, accounts, and plans with fresh eyes before signing anything new

• Had the conversations that were waiting for you

• Made your decisions with what the review showed you, right as the shadows clear on Dec 15

How you will feel using it
Prepared, because every phase comes with dates to circle, things to do, and things to wait on. Clear, because you know why a question keeps coming back. Confident, because you sign, send, and commit at the moments the season supports.

What you get

• 12 rising sign chapters, two pages each, with dates to circle, what to do, and what to wait on

• A full season calendar from Sep 27 to Dec 19, marked by phase

• The three phases of the season, from Venus turning first to both shadows clearing on Dec 15

• The decans in play, each with a theme name and a Greek deity, so the season reads like a story

• The exact degrees to look for in your birth chart
