Mercury’s “Retrograde” 6/29 – 7/23 2026

When you are one with the universe, you take what goes on in our collective sky seriously.

To add to the energy of the Strawberry Full Moon we experienced last night, Mercury started its optical illusion retrograde which will continue this transit until July 23, 2026.

During this time, we can experience disruptions in our daily conversations, travel interruptions, and technology that does not seem to cooperate with our needs. These minor inconveniences can lead to a frustrating period in our lives. (Only if you let the disruptions win.)

As someone who has been through a few Mercury retrogrades in their lifetime, it is important to acknowledge that the disruptions are a part of the journey and a small delay could be the exact thing that puts you right where you need to be, but only if you can stay balanced in your orbit and not partake in the rash emotions of the retrograde.

A retrograde is an energetic “test” from the universe and a way to gauge your adaptability when things are not going how we need them too. The challenge is to be patient with ourselves and those around us. By sharing in our collective love and light might not solve all your disruptions, but it is a safe space to create a world that works together when the universe wants to evaluate our patience with each other.
