Aries: Mercury Retrograde on your own turf starts at full speed… in reverse! This means that while the urge for action will be strong, execution might resemble an athlete trying to run with their shoelaces tied together. Your impulsiveness and need to get things done immediately will encounter obstacles and misunderstandings. Your words may come out sharper than usual, so it would be wise to count to ten before responding to questions or, at the very least, ensure you are not sending a message to the wrong person. Travel plans might feel like an action movie filled with unexpected twists and last-minute changes – GPS misdirections, canceled schedules, and drivers who seem to be conspiring against you. Avoid hasty decisions and rash statements because this retrograde might make you regret either an overly enthusiastic promise or an exaggerated reaction. Instead of getting frustrated with delays, see it as an opportunity to slow down and rethink whether the direction you are heading is actually the right one. This retrograde gives you the time to reassess, correct mistakes, and see if something you considered a given truly holds its ground.

Taurus: When Mercury moves in retrograde, the stability you cherish so much starts to resemble a game of Jenga: every move could topple what you have carefully built. In your case, this translates to confusing financial transactions, unclear income and expenses, and potential errors in bank dealings. So double-check your accounts, do not forget to pay something important, and keep your receipts – they might be needed for corrections later. Communication with colleagues, clients, or business partners may become trickier than expected – something you said clearly might be misinterpreted, forcing you to explain the same thing repeatedly. On the other hand, this retrograde gives you the chance to re-evaluate financial strategies, discover where money might be slipping away, and reconsider whether your current choices truly lead to the comfort you seek. An old professional opportunity might resurface, but before saying "yes," make sure that this time it is more stable than before. If you feel that delays and setbacks are testing you, remember that the goal is not to rush but to build something properly, even if it takes a little longer.

Gemini: For you, Mercury is like the ruler of your mind – and when it turns retrograde, your thoughts can feel like a browser with 50 open tabs, not knowing where to begin. You may feel that your words are not coming out as intended, your ideas are getting jumbled, or that you are explaining something ten times, yet people still look at you as if you are speaking an alien language. Do not get discouraged; just ensure you are being as clear as possible and do not assume that everyone immediately understands what you mean. Also, be extra cautious with emails, messages, and social media posts – sending something to the wrong recipient at the wrong time could create unexpected complications. Your social life will be full of past revisits, with people from your history reappearing suddenly, bringing along memories and dilemmas. Old friends, former colleagues, or even past romantic connections might make a comeback. This is a great time to close unfinished chapters or reconsider past situations from a new perspective. However, avoid making big declarations or decisions, as confusion is high, and changing your mind later is almost inevitable.

Cancer: Mercury Retrograde puts you in a nostalgic mood, and your emotional memory functions like Netflix replaying all the past seasons of your life – some enjoyable, others not so much. The longing for the past intensifies, bringing back old stories, faces, and emotions you thought you had left behind. If you suddenly receive a message from someone unexpected or find yourself scrolling through old photos wondering, "What are they up to now?", do not be surprised – Mercury’s retrograde is at work. Conversations with family members might lead to misunderstandings or minor tensions, especially if they revolve around past issues. You may also need to deal with unfinished home-related matters or make corrections to something you believed was already settled. If you feel that this period is making you more introverted, do not force yourself to be social if you are not in the mood. Instead, use this energy to reconnect with yourself, close emotional chapters, and make room for new beginnings once Mercury returns to direct motion. Do not take things too heavily – just see it as a necessary emotional reorganization.

Leo: Mercury Retrograde brings a phase where your communication will resemble a faulty microphone – you think you are roaring, but others hear nothing more than a distorted, muddled sound. Conversations may not flow as smoothly as you would like, and there is a high risk of being misunderstood, either due to misinterpretation or because things are not being expressed as clearly as they should be. Meanwhile, matters related to travel, studies, legal affairs, or long-term plans seem to be moving at a snail’s pace. If you were waiting for confirmation or planning to start something new, expect possible delays and postponements. However, this period offers you the chance to rethink major decisions, reassess old perspectives, and determine whether what you are planning truly aligns with your personal expression. Instead of feeling frustrated with the delays, use the time to correct potential mistakes or prepare better for the future. Also, if you feel that others are not listening to you, try changing the way you communicate. Maybe what is needed is not more volume, but more clarity.

Virgo: As a child of Mercury, its retrograde phase for you is like working with a computer that constantly freezes, shuts down, and unpredictably restarts. Anything related to information, numbers, finances, or details can fall into disarray, so double-check anything important before signing it or logging it in. There may be delays in payments, errors in invoices, or financial complications you did not anticipate. If you are dealing with contracts, loans, or investments, take your time before committing, as there is a high chance that you do not yet have the full picture. Meanwhile, matters involving shared finances with others (e.g., debts, insurance, inheritances) might need re-examination. If an issue from the past resurfaces, rather than avoiding it, it may be an opportunity to resolve it once and for all. You may also find yourself reconnecting with old emotional matters, realizing that there are situations you have not fully processed. This period is not easy, but it can be incredibly valuable if you use it for deeper self-awareness and meaningful adjustments.

Libra: When Mercury goes retrograde, your relationships and partnerships resemble a choreography you have not had time to learn – some people move left, you go right, and the final result is a chaotic mess. Misunderstandings, mixed messages, and the feeling that you are talking to walls become more intense, especially in your close relationships. People from the past may reappear, either as friends or ex-partners, making you question things. If an old flame or friend returns, ask yourself if reopening that chapter is truly worthwhile or if nostalgia is simply making you see it more romantically than it actually was. Your collaborations might enter a phase where nothing is clear – some people may not be as reliable as you would like, and you may have to reconsider a professional partnership or an agreement. If you need to make a decision involving others, do not rush. Give yourself time to see the situation more clearly because, during this period, misinterpreting intentions is incredibly easy. Instead of forcing a quick resolution, take advantage of this time to listen more carefully and observe who is genuinely by your side.

Scorpio: Your daily routine under Mercury Retrograde feels like a mission in an escape room where the rules constantly change, and no one tells you what you are supposed to do. Your responsibilities may become more challenging, as details slip away, schedules get disrupted, and minor technical issues multiply. If you rely on technology for work, back up your files and prepare for possible glitches that will test your patience. Additionally, confusion may arise in professional interactions, with lost emails, rescheduled meetings, and communications that seem to go nowhere. If you feel like you are trying to bring order to chaos, it is because… that is exactly the case! However, this period gives you the chance to identify mistakes and make necessary corrections. If a situation at work has been troubling you, now you might finally see what is not working and how to fix it. This is also a good time to reevaluate your routine and see if your daily habits truly support your well-being and productivity. If something needs adjustment, now is the time to do it. Take care of your health, as the stress of this period might drain your energy – rest and proper nutrition will be your allies.

Sagittarius: When Mercury goes retrograde, your adventurous spirit encounters obstacles that make your journey more… exciting than you would like. Misunderstandings and mixed-up information are almost guaranteed, especially in matters related to travel, education, contracts, and legal affairs. If you have a trip planned, be prepared for potential delays, last-minute changes, or even forgotten reservations that were never actually made. The plans you have set may need to be reconsidered, either because something shifts behind the scenes or because you realize they were not as realistic as you initially thought. Old ideas or opportunities you did not take advantage of in the past might resurface, offering you a chance to view them from a new perspective. Be mindful of your communication with people from abroad or those with different viewpoints than yours – the likelihood of words getting lost in translation or leading to misunderstandings is higher than ever. Instead of getting frustrated with disruptions, see them as a chance to reassess your course and make sure you are heading in the right direction. If you are unsure about a decision, take your time before committing – this retrograde offers you the opportunity to rethink things before making a big leap.

Capricorn: Mercury Retrograde brings a phase where your logic and practicality are put to the test through delays, disruptions, and reassessments. Matters related to professional plans, family issues, or property affairs may become complicated, creating extra stress and obligations you did not anticipate. If you were expecting a response or an approval, it may be delayed or the terms may suddenly change at the last minute. So, do not expect stability – the best approach is to remain flexible and prepare for adjustments. Conversations with superiors, partners, or family might become more difficult, not because you are wrong, but because your message may not come across as clearly as you intended. Additionally, misunderstandings and miscommunications are part of the package, so double-check everything you write and agree to. On the bright side, this period can help you identify what is truly worth your time and energy. Old projects or professional proposals may return, giving you the opportunity to revisit something you left unfinished. Instead of pushing things forward forcefully, use this time for reorganization and reassessment of your goals so that you can return even stronger when things settle down.

Aquarius: Mercury’s retrograde phase feels for you like a major glitch in your communication system, where your words either get lost in translation or arrive completely different from how you intended them. Misunderstandings, delays, and the sense that everything is moving slower than it should are inevitable. If you have plans involving travel, agreements, studies, or international connections, make sure to have a backup plan, as changes are almost guaranteed. Old friendships or partnerships might resurface, bringing either a second chance or a lesson that was not fully learned the first time around. If you feel like people are not understanding you, take a deep breath and try explaining again – clarity is not the strong suit of this period, but patience can save many situations. Your ideas might be brilliant, but now is not the time for big launches or announcements. Instead, this is the ideal period for reviewing, analyzing, and fixing past mistakes. If you see that certain plans are not progressing as you had hoped, it might be an opportunity to refine them or redefine your approach. Rather than fighting the wave of miscommunication, relax and see what insights you can gain from it.

Pisces: Mercury Retrograde in your sign feels a bit like trying to remember a dream that slipped away the moment you woke up – something blurry, confusing, and full of meanings that you cannot quite grasp clearly. Your thinking becomes more abstract, communication more vague, and your mood more emotional than logical. If you feel like others do not understand you, it is not just your imagination – this period puts you in a different flow than those around you, making it hard to translate thoughts and emotions into words. Your intuition is strong, but caution is needed, as it may mix with imagination and lead to confusion. Additionally, the tendency to dwell on the past is intense – whether through memories or through people who reappear in your life. If an old situation comes back to the surface, see it as an opportunity to close that chapter for good or reassess it from a new perspective. Also, take care of yourself, as emotional turbulence may affect your energy levels and stamina. Instead of forcing yourself to be more logical, listen to what your instincts are telling you, but keep a dose of realism so you do not get lost in illusions. When Mercury goes direct again, everything will become clearer – until then, go with the flow, but proceed with caution.
