Mercury retrograde – the cosmic excuse for everything going wrong.

Mercury retrograde is here.
Delivering messages you sent three years ago, exes you buried, and conversations you swore were over.
Late, soaking wet, and absolutely unbothered.

And here is my little doodle about the whole cycle (dates calculated UT):

Preshadow: 13th June a 29th June 2026:

Things slow down, you can notice the first delays and misunderstandings.

Retrograde: 30th June a 24th July 2026

Don’t do any important decisions now. Be prepared that communications got lost. Electronic devices break. You might say or buy something you later regret.

Postshadow: 25th July to 7th August 2026

You are probably busy cleaning up the messes. People you met in the retrograde phase might disapear. The ideas and projects you started in the retrograde phase might turn out as strange.

Anyway, write every idea you had down. When the next retrograde in Octuber comes you might find a new perspective.
Not all is wrong. It might be even revolutionary, something before the time was right.
