From the end of July and until 11 August, another phase of retrograde Mercury has been held, the second of 2025. This planetary movement, known for disturbing communications, decisions and plans, may have an impact on all signs of the zodiac, but there are three that, according to astrologers, will feel more effects in the early days of the month.
Three signs under greater pressure
According to the Mexican newspaper, natives of twins, virgin and fish will be among the most affected by this cycle. The general recommendation goes through some caution: postponing important decisions, avoiding misunderstandings and maintaining a more introspective approach.
For the natives of twins (May 21 to June 21), this is a particularly sensitive period. According to the same source, they are the first to notice the effects of retrogradation. We advise extra attention in emails, documents and the way they communicate at work or in a personal context.
Virgin (August 23 to September 22) could face a mental overload. There is a trend for chaos, associated with frustration for not being able to control everything. To deal with the moment, it will be best to abandon perfectionism and bet on realistic reorganization, without excesses.
Already the natives of fish (February 20 to March 20) may come across disagreements, especially in close relations. The emotional energy of this sign makes it more permeable to misunderstandings. The advice is to rely on intuition and avoid getting involved in conflicts that do not concern them.
How to deal with this phase?
Astrologer Amy Lea explained to the Lifestyle Instyle website that retrograde Mercury can be seen as an opportunity for a fresh start. Instead of looking for answers or making hasty decisions, it is ideal to listen carefully to what is happening inwardly. According to the expert, this phase helps to perceive situations that previously went unnoticed.
Among the most practical councils, the recommendation is to avoid signing contracts. If it is unavoidable, it is appropriate to carefully read all clauses and, if possible, ask for a second opinion. The astrologer adds that it will not be the ideal time to start new projects or force change. It will be best to wait for ideas to be based.
Two more cycles by the end of the year
This is the second cycle of retrograde Mercury in 2025. By the end of the year there will be one more, scheduled between 9 and 29 November. Until then, it is important to calmly manage the present moment, prepare emotionally and avoid entering anxiety spirals associated with this phase.
Despite the symbolic burden that many attribute the retrograde Mercury, it is possible to cross this period with tranquility. The key may be in slowing, communicating more clearly and facing the unforeseen events with practical spirit. After all, the planet resumes the direct movement as early as August 11.
