Mercury is the planet that rules the mind. It governs how you think and how you speak, in Sagittarius, it becomes focused on one thing, the truth. Sagittarius is known as the truth seeker; the values above all else. Mercury in Sagittarius can often be seen as being more challenging because the planet of communication operates differently here than in other zodiac signs, like Virgo or Gemini. But challenges are only there depending upon what lens you are using to view them through. Mercury in Sagittarius offers the benefit of being more direct and honest with those in your life, as well as with yourself. RELATED: The Daily Horoscope For Each Zodiac Sign On Thursday, November 17, 2022 The thing with being honest is that you are often taught that if it is not true, kind, or necessary then it should not be shared. The reality being though is that the truth is not always kind. If you are still looking for ways to diplomatically share the truth or control the outcome once you say what needs to be said, then you are not honoring the simple power of honesty. Mercury in Sagittarius does not care much about the delivery of something, it is not overly concerned about feelings and ultimately it lacks the decorum that often dresses up the truth, so it is easier to take. This makes the truth not only easier to be seen, but also spoken. While some may not be thrilled with the news that this energy brings, it does not mean that it is not necessary. RELATED: The Tarot Horoscope For Each Zodiac Sign On November 17, 2022 During these two weeks since the last eclipse at the beginning of the month, events are still playing out. Things are still coming together or even in some cases, falling apart. Mercury in Sagittarius allows you to be fully honest and transparent, letting the pieces of life fall where they may. The added benefit is that right now, Mercury and Venus are extremely close together in Sagittarius as the planet of love just moved into this fire sign yesterday. Venus governs relationships, money, and real estate, and Mercury of course helps you formulate your thoughts and words. Together it means that the next month or so will center around conversations involving love, finances, and even aspects related to where you call home. As much as Sagittarius is the truth seeker, it is also known as the explorer. It wants to discover something new and to have life be an adventure. Sagittarius does not do stagnancy and while it often has to temper itself in not rushing ahead into instant gratification, it is always looking at becoming better and moving ahead. This is the time to grow, to let your heart and your words be in alignment with each other, and recognize that the truth may not always be something that others or even you want to hear but ultimately it is what is needed. With the truth, anything becomes possible because it is built on a foundation of stability. The truth is what builds that new beginning you are dreaming of.
The three zodiac signs with the best horoscopes on Thursday, November 17, 2022:
1. Gemini
(May 21 - June 20) Mercury and Venus are both in Sagittarius now which means that themes related to your romantic relationship are being highlighted. Currently, Mars is retrograde in Gemini which is slowing you down and making you do things differently.

Your mind works so fast, it cannot always be trusted to take your feelings into account. Now that you are under the energy of both Gemini and Sagittarius, you are able to see how the two come together. When you give yourself time to pause, you are also giving yourself a chance to feel. And when it comes to all those matters in life that matter most, it is your heart that will always know the way.

(August 23 - September 22) You are entering a phase of greater growth within your committed relationship and home environment.

For you as a Virgo, there have been lessons recently about making sure that you are seeing the whole picture of your partner and not just the parts you want to or even those small pieces you are focusing on which do not truly matter. It is seeing what is real without either wearing rose-colored glasses or becoming meticulous over small pieces of humanness that everyone has. During this time, you are being encouraged to grow in this area of your life. To embrace the truth in all forms, not to hide what is happening but to be able to enjoy it.
