What it means for you
When Mercury goes retrograde, it appears to move entirely backward through the zodiac. In Vedic astrology, a retrograde planet is considered stronger, internalizing its energy rather than projecting it outward. You may experience delays or deep internal reviews depending on which house this transit occupies in your natal chart.
This Mercury retrograde transits Cancer and Gemini — but that area could rule your finances, your career, or your identity depending on your Ascendant.
Vedara maps this transit to your specific natal houses and tells you the exact life area under review.
