I hope these pieces of information can help you better navigate the experience.

It's possible they may be experiencing this retrograde with more intensity. Be mindful, be graceful, be compassionate because we are just trying to navigate life with so much going on. Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius is asking us to revisit, review, reconnect, all the "re-s" with regards to communicating our belief systems, our philosophies of life or of ourselves. Sagittarius is also about optimism and major systems in the world. Let's see what you should be aware of:
Water Signs: You can get caught up in your own emotional reactions but also get lost in the emotional experiences of others. Take your time as you take in the communication from others about life and beliefs. This also includes you taking your time expressing your thoughts, feelings, opinions and beliefs to others. And be okay if others aren't as emotionally expression to the same degree as you regarding a system, belief, or plan. Just because emotions aren't expressed doesn't mean they aren't being felt. Embrace neutrality in your exchange rather than allow the emotional side get the best of you.
Fire Signs: Do you feel the fire? Lol! My fire signs, you are passionate, you can move forward quickly, bluntly and with great stubbornness if you are not careful. Learn to stop, think, and reflect on what message you are trying to convey but mostly importantly, explore the "HOW" you are wanting this message to land. Release control if there are differences in opinions. It's okay for all to not be on the same page regarding beliefs systems.
Air Signs: Depending on which air sign you are, communication will be highlighted in different ways. You can be aloof, detached, or neutral in your communication patterns. This may trigger folks who are craving emotional connection or emotional reactions from you. You may also be turned off by the intensity that others bring towards you with their messages. Embrace compassion and empathy. Use your words to communicate, acknowledge and reflect back what you are seeing. This may be a time for you to re-evaluate your own internal world of beliefs. Air signs, you have thoughts, ideas, and are often caught up in your head about things. Use this ability to reflect and re-evaluate your self-talk, belief systems and your communication patterns.
Earth Signs: You are loyal. You are hardworking. You are people that can be depended on. This time period is asking you to re-evaluate the things, people, and resources that you value. What are your belief systems around these things of importance? Are they changing for your? How will you express these changes to those around you? Will you communicate them at all? Take your time in discovering what is changing for you and make a plan. This is not the time to take impulsive action but rather consider all of your possibilities and plan out what you will do next.
