Potentially, this could be a time when past issues and Exes reappear. Keep in mind that sometimes an Ex is an Ex for a reason, so use caution and be wise when making important decisions &#8211; as there is a strong possibility of miscommunications, glitches, and delays. If in doubt, take your time, remove rose tinted glasses, and see what transpires before acting or deciding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Mercury Retrograde Tip:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TRIPLE CHECK Travel arrangements, meetings, and all types of important documents and communications before signing and sending electronically or in the post!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Mercury appears to be moving backwards, reminiscent of a \u2018slingshot\u2019, the effects will likely be felt with communications, plans, technologies, and travels. During a Mercury Retrograde phase, it is recommended to delay signing on the dotted lines for agreements and commitments, as the energies can be tricky and uncertain. If this cannot be avoided, then thoroughly review everything several times over before completion. Mercury is known for exceptional analytical skills, attention to detail, making wise decisions, and accurately assessing situations to avoid mistakes \u2013 which is why caution and awareness are needed in these areas during retrograde phases. Due to Mercury appearing to move backwards, there is a strong possibility of nostalgia and memories being evoked, or perhaps people and situations from the past are reappearing in the present tense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/psychictoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/shutterstock_508294351-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10544 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/psychictoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/shutterstock_508294351-1.jpg\" alt=\"image of planet mercury\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Mercury <\/b><b><i>(the Planet and Deity)<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mercury is a \u2018Personal Planet\u2019 which affects daily life and is associated with Communication, Intellect, the Mind and Learning \u2013 influencing Expression, Ideas, Information Processing, and Thoughts.

During Mercury Retrograde and Retroshadow, Mercury moves slower than normal. The Mercury Retrograde Diagram shows how Mercury appears to be moving backwards in the sky from the Earth\u2019s perspective <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(see the diagram\u2019s Orange S Line from West to East, showing Mercury going back on itself at the S<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bend<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This trajectory is known as Retrograde, which means \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">moving backwards<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019. The Mercury Retroshadow phase is\u00a0a 2 week period before and after the Retrograde cycle. The Retroshadow effects can seem much less potent than Retrograde &#8211; but are still worth consideration. The full duration for Retroshadow and Retrograde cycles are approximately \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 7 weeks long.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/psychictoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot_4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10549 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/psychictoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot_4.png\" alt=\"mercury retrograde diagram\" width=\"574\" height=\"909\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>Who is Jules?<\/h3>\n<p>Jules has been a practicing Psychic, Medium, Channeller, Soul Plan Practitioner and Reiki Master for over 30 years.
