18. Bedazzled Skeleton: Although we love the colorful look of Dia de Los Muertos Sugar Skulls on Halloween, we must admit this bedazzled white look is just about as beautiful as it is eery! She uses pearls to embellish her look instead of rhinestones for a gorgeous monochromatic look.

Oh No! Mercury Retrograde Is Back — Here’s What It Means For Your Horoscope

Mercury retrograde has arrived, and we’re in for a smidge of cosmic hiccups this holiday season! Known as the agent of chaos, this retrograde often stirs up misunderstandings and miscommunication. You might experience everything from strange vibes to falling out with friends over trivial conflicts, or even a computer crash that rivals the drama of The Family Stone, where family flaws and secrets come to light. But don’t panic — this is also a time for romantic epiphanies, much like in The Holiday, where unexpected connections bloom. I’ve got you covered with tips to navigate the last Mercury retrograde of 2024 — and for how to keep your holidays merry despite the mayhem.

Read on to understand the ins-and-outs of Mercury Retrograde — plus what it means for your horoscope right now!

​What is Mercury Retrograde?

Cora Pursley

To grasp the significance of Mercury in retrograde, it’s essential to first understand what retrogrades are. As planets orbit the Sun, they follow specific paths, with some moving faster than others. Generally, the closer a planet is to the Sun, the quicker it travels. Occasionally, these planets appear to veer off their usual course; during this time, the Sun's gravitational pull brings them back into alignment, marking the onset of a retrograde period. While this phenomenon is astronomical, it resonates on a collective level, prompting reflection and introspection here on Earth.

Mercury, often referred to as the planet of communication, plays a crucial role in our thought processes, decision-making, and interactions. During its retrograde phase, which occurs multiple times each year, it's important to navigate this period with care. Here are some do’s and don’ts to keep in mind:

Do’s:

  • Reflect on past decisions and learn from previous experiences.
  • Revisit unfinished projects or ideas that require reassessment.
  • Take time for introspection and self-examination.

Don’ts:

  • Avoid making significant decisions, such as buying a home or starting major renovations. These choices may face unexpected delays and complications.
  • Steer clear of launching new projects, as they may not proceed as planned.

By being mindful during Mercury in retrograde, you can work its energy for thoughtful reflection rather than potential miscommunication and disruption. Remember, as above, so below.

​What is happening during this Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius in 2024?

Sierra White

This Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius begins on November 25 and wraps up on December 15, 2024 — just in time for the holidays! During this quirky period, you might find communication and travel resembling a game of charades — confusing and full of surprises! Sagittarius, with its adventurous spirit and knack for big ideas, nudges you to reflect on your beliefs and long-term goals while dodging any miscommunication like a pro at a holiday buffet. Stay open-minded about new concepts, and by reflecting on past experiences, you can turn any holiday hiccups into cherished memories, making your connections with loved ones more meaningful — just double-check your travel plans.

Here are some common themes to expect during this period:

  1. Miscommunication in Beliefs: Discussions around ethics and worldviews may lead to misunderstandings, so clarifying intentions is crucial.
  2. Revisiting Travel Plans: If you have holiday trips or adventures in mind, be prepared for potential delays or changes. This is a good time to reassess your travel goals or revisit cherished destinations.
  3. Reflecting on Learning: You might feel drawn to revisit past studies or explore new philosophies, making this a valuable time for self-reflection.
  4. Adventurous Spirit: This retrograde may ignite a desire to break free from routine. However, be cautious about making impulsive decisions during the holiday rush.
  5. Open to New Perspectives: While confusion may arise, this is also an opportunity to reevaluate your beliefs and explore fresh ideas with an open mind.

Overall, this period encourages you to slow down, reflect, and be mindful of how you communicate and receive information, enhancing your holiday experiences.

Read Your Sun & Rising Sign Mercury Retrograde Horoscopes For November 25-December 15, 2024

Brit + Co

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Prepare for some soul-searching between sips of eggnog and lively family chatter this holiday season. You might start to wonder if that “special holiday sweater” is really as special as you thought. Conversations could get a bit awkward, so take a deep breath and remember: that patience is key—especially when stories start to loop. Welcome any travel mishaps as unexpected adventures; they’ll turn into hilarious tales to share later!

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

This season, it’s all about sharing—whether it’s your holiday spirit or your budget! You may need to tiptoe around sensitive topics, like who gets the last piece of the pie, so choose your words wisely. If plans get delayed, think of it as a chance to cozy up with loved ones instead of stressing out. Reflect on what matters, and don’t be afraid to indulge a little—after all, holiday treats are basically a form of self-care.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Your relationships might resemble a game of charades, with everyone trying to decipher what everyone else really wants. Whether you’re flying solo or in a couple, keep an eye on those festive planning talks—they could definitely use some clarity. Use this time for personal growth, turning any communication slip-ups into lessons that brighten your celebrations and keep the fun rolling. Just remember: clarity is key, so make sure everyone’s on the same page.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Prioritize your well-being and avoid the pressure of overworking yourself amidst the holiday hustle. As you juggle party prep, try not to get swept away in the festive chaos. Communication might feel like decoding a toddler’s drawing, so be clear with family and friends about what you need. Focus on self-care and balance, and you’ll navigate the whirlwind like a pro—maybe with a cozy blanket and a good movie on standby.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Get ready for a holiday season where your creative flair might take a few unexpected turns, like a well-rehearsed dance that suddenly goes off-script. As plans shift, practice your patience and remember what truly sparks joy for you. Reflect on those passions that make you shine, and don’t shy away from the mistakes--they often lead to the best holiday tales. Plus, a little extra glitter never hurt anyone—just try not to get it everywhere!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Prepare for some family dynamics that might feel like a reality show reunion! Miscommunication could lead to some comedic misunderstandings about plans or traditions, so keep your cool. Take this time to reflect on your emotional needs and find a little order in the chaos. Strengthen those family bonds, because nothing says “holiday spirit” quite like sharing a laugh over that one family photo everyone wants to forget!

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Expect your conversations to get a little tangled, like last year’s string lights. Short trips or outings could pop up, so embrace the unexpected adventures! Before sharing your brilliant ideas, take a moment to clarify your thoughts; nobody wants to accidentally volunteer to host the next family gathering (unless you really want to). Use these moments to deepen connections, and remember: the best holiday memories are often born from a bit of chaos.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

This season, keep an eye on your spending—it’s easy to get swept up in the holiday cheer! As you tackle gift lists, take a moment to reflect on what truly matters—like the joy of giving without the post-holiday financial headache. Budgeting conversations may get tricky, so approach them with care. Mindful spending will help you enjoy a holiday filled with laughter and love, not a mountain of bills come January!

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Expect a bit of soul-searching this holiday, as you clarify your goals amidst the festive bustle. Conversations may go sideways, so take a moment to sort out your intentions before diving in. Cherish this chance for introspection and focus on what truly matters. Meaningful connections will blossom even in the chaos, turning challenges into opportunities for growth—and maybe a few good laughs along the way!

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

This holiday season, get ready for some introspection that might feel like unearthing old holiday memories. Past issues could bubble up, so keep your communication open to avoid any misunderstandings. Use this time to recharge and reflect on your needs. By seeing challenges as opportunities for growth, you can craft a more peaceful holiday experience—one that sets a cheerful tone for the New Year!

Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)

Friendships may take center stage, with old connections popping back up like holiday cheer. Just be ready for some communication blunders that might leave you scratching your head! Reflect on your social circles and decide who truly aligns with your vibe. Navigating these dynamics thoughtfully can lead to more meaningful connections and memorable festivities—after all, nothing beats laughter with friends over a cup of hot cocoa.

Pisces (February 20 – March 21)

This season, your career and public image might demand a bit of attention—like that one holiday decoration that always needs fixing. Communication with colleagues may hit a few snags, so be prepared for some delays. Reflect on your goals and ensure they match your true self. Staying clear and confident during festive gatherings will help you set the right tone for the year ahead—preferably one filled with good vibes and fewer awkward silences!

Here are 40 of the most curve-lovin’ (and seriously hot) plus-size Halloween costumes you’ll find out there this season.

Yandy

Cruella de Vil

Cruella de Vil will always hold a special place among our most-feared villains, right alongside Voldemort and Ursula. After all, she’s going after puppies! But on Halloween, the celebration of the gruesome and morbid, this evilness equates to fabulousness, and we’ll more than forgive you for dressing up like her… just this once.

Walmart

Maleficent

Channel your deepest, darkest powers and channel your inner Maleficent this Halloween. “So you see, the story is not quite as you were told.”

Down the rabbit hole you go this Halloween. You never know what’s going to happen when you channel this fairytale classic!

OMG We're Getting A Fleetwood Mac Documentary — & It's AUTHORIZED By The Band

Fleetwood Mac lovers, it's officially our time to shine! Apple TV+ just announced they're releasing a brand new documentary that's actually authorized by the band themselves — so you KNOW it's gonna be good. I'm sure we all have plenty of ideas about whatwent down between this rumour-saddled band (I mean I'll never stop thinking about that performance of "Silver Springs"), but now we'll finally get an in-depth look at it all...and hopefully know what actually happened! While this all sounds a LOT like the plot of Daisy Jones & The Six, I know I'm excited to learn even more about such a beloved IRL band.

Here's everything you should know about the upcoming Fleetwood Mac documentary!

What is the new Fleetwood Mac documentary about?

Fleetwood Mac is officially sitting down to tell their own story, giving us a "fully authorized" documentary, according to Apple. Director Frank Marshall says, “This will be a film about the music and the people who created it.”

The film follows Fleetwood Mac's 50 year history, starting in 1974 when the band first met and winding through their many career highs and lows. Not only will we get exclusive interviews from the band, but we'll also get never-before-seen footage and archival interviews from Christine McVie.

Marshall says, "I am fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about. Fleetwood Mac somehow managed to merge their often chaotic and almost operatic personal lives into their own tale in real-time, which then became legend. This will be a film about the music and the people who created it.”

The documentary is currently untitled, but TBH who cares what it's called? I just can't wait to watch!

Who will be featured in the new Fleetwood Mac documentary?

Apple TV+

This documentary will feature interviews from Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks.

When does the Fleetwood Mac documentary come out?

There isn't an official release date yet, but it truly can't come out soon enough!
