Mercury turns retrograde tomorrow, from June 29th through July 23rd, 2026. Begin winding down new commitments now. Communication, intellect, and awareness are all within Mercury's domain, as are logic and reasoning, our manner of thinking, and how we create and express our thought processes. Remain flexible, allow extra time for travel, and hold off on signing contracts until it passes.
