Astrologers warn that there are intense weeks ahead, full of misunderstandings and delays, in which everyone’s patience will be put to the test, but four zodiac signs will feel this transit directly in the face.
Traditionally, Mercury retrograde is the time when communication is not constructive, and projects fall through the cracks. However, beyond its bad luck reputation, this transit functions as a mirror of the past, forcing us to stop and correct errors we’ve ignored. For certain natives, these weeks will come with an avalanche of challenges that are difficult to manage if they do not learn to be flexible.

✦ GEMINI ✦
Gemini is at the forefront of the impact, given that Mercury is the very planet that rules their destiny. For them, the July interval will feel like a total blockage in expression.
They will often find themselves endlessly repeating what they have to say in order to be understood correctly, and short-term plans will be postponed without explanation. Decisions made on the spur of the moment will have to be completely re-evaluated, and astrologers advise them to read any document twice before signing.
✦ Virgin ✦
Another sign directly targeted is Virgo, a sign recognized for its acute need for control and organization. This time, the retrograde movement will hit them directly in the professional area and in their daily habits.
Projects at work will progress extremely hard, collaborations will become strained, and the small details that gave them security will be overturned by unforeseen events. Virgos will have to temper their perfectionism and accept that sometimes life cannot be programmed in a table.
✦ piercing ✦
Not even Sagittarians will escape the effects of this turbulent transit, but in their case the impact will be strongly felt on the axis of relationships and future plans.
Ghosts of the past tend to come back into their lives around this time, either in the form of former partners or through heated arguments that were left unresolved years ago. In addition, if they have scheduled trips or long journeys, Sagittarians should arm themselves with a lot of patience, because route changes and delays will be the order of the day.
✦ Fish ✦
Pisces will also go through an extremely delicate period, but from an emotional point of view. Their sensitivity will be at its highest, which will favor the emergence of major misunderstandings with close people and family.
Issues that seemed long buried will resurface to be clarified, and Pisces natives will have to make a conscious effort not to make radical decisions on the spur of the moment, guided only by states of anxiety or impulses.
Despite the tense atmosphere, the end of this transit should not be seen exclusively as a catastrophe. Although it brings temporary blockages, Mercury retrograde offers all signs the rare opportunity to put an end to chapters that have been left open for too long and to repair deficient relationships or projects.
Until July 23, the best weapons for surviving this astrological merry-go-round remain a keen attention to detail and a refusal to act in haste.
