Mercury retrograde — review, reconnect, and revise
Mercury retrograde occurs three to four times per year for about three weeks. Communication, travel, and technology are the classic domains affected.
What it means
Contracts, emails, and travel plans may need revision. Old conversations resurface. It is a poor time to launch new communication-heavy projects, but excellent for editing, proofreading, and reconnecting with people from your past.
How to work with it
Back up data. Proofread twice. Avoid signing major contracts if possible. Use the period to finish unfinished writing, fix broken systems, and clarify misunderstandings.
Signs most affected
Gemini and Virgo (Mercury-ruled signs) feel this most directly. Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) tend to experience the most disruption.
