Mercury’s Retrograde Through the Aquarius Zodiac
Overview
Mercury retrograde in Aquarius blends the quick-thinking, communicative energy of Mercury with Aquarius’ innovative, unconventional, and future-focused mindset — but in reverse. This transit invites a rethink of ideas, networks, and visions for the future. Communication with friends, communities, or online platforms may get glitchy, and plans around technology or innovation might stall. Still, it’s a powerful time to revisit old ideas, reconnect with past allies, and reassess your relationship to progress, freedom, and individuality.
