MERCURY RETROGRADE PERIOD FROM JULY 8 TO AUGUST 1
Mercury goes retrograde from July 8 to August 1. Mercury will backtrack from 5 degrees Leo to 24 degrees Cancer. Additionally, the beginning of this period coincides with the eclipse corridor, which intensifies its impact on each of us. The retrograde motion of any planet helps us concentrate on internal matters, understand events and processes in our lives, and review past events. Mercury’s return to the sign of Cancer will help us get rid of mistakes caused by our instant emotional reactions. It happens that we make certain decisions in the heat of the moment that bring nothing good either to us or to those around us. Now it is good to review such situations, as losses resulting from our decisions may come to light. This especially concerns offenses. Also pay attention to relationships with close people; if during this time you remember something unpleasant you said to them, try to correct the situation, even if they say they don’t remember your words—on an emotional level, there may still be lingering triggers. In general, during Mercury retrograde, our concentration on external circumstances decreases; distractibility, forgetfulness, and general disorganization may appear. We can easily miss something important—fail to see the whole picture or overlook significant details. Therefore, it is not advisable to conduct any important operations with documents, whether buying, selling, processing documents, or loans. Advertising and marketing campaigns will not bring the expected effect. It is not advisable to buy new equipment, especially computers and communication devices. Additionally, it is not recommended to repair anything. Surgical operations are undesirable. Of course, we often cannot avoid all these measures, but if you can, it is better to wait until Mercury is direct. You can also note that such situations play out particularly vividly in those areas of life which house in your chart will be touched by Mercury’s transit motion, and especially if it conjuncts your natal planets. In any case, maintain calm and a joyful outlook on life!
