The Mercury retrograde is an event in space in which it appears that the planet starts moving backward.
Of course, something like this causes changes in the entire universe—it affects technology, human relations and individual mental health.
Mercury doesn’t change its orbit often but when it does, nobody stays intact.
This year, one of the periods in which Mercury will enter its retrograde is July 7-August 2 and this is when you can expect the unexpected.
Nevertheless, this phenomenon doesn’t affect everyone the same and here is exactly what it brings for your zodiac.
Aries
Sadly, the Mercury retrograde will have a bad impact on your career this month.
There is no such thing as aiming too high and being ambitious is awesome—just make sure to think things through before acting on them.
Don’t make any impulsive moves and I can assure you that everything will turn out for the best.
Taurus
Instead of keeping all of your emotions to yourself, talk to the ones closest to you. If there is something bothering you about your romantic partner, friend or a family member, try discussing it because things will appear much worse than they actually are.
Gemini
This is the month in which someone special from your past will try to make a big comeback in your life.
This is the person who’s hurt you way too much and as soon as you think you’re over them completely, they come knocking at your door.
It’s up to you whether you’ll give them a second chance or you’ll be strong enough to stick to your decision.
Cancer
If July is your birthday month, it brings you an opportunity to turn a new page. It’s time to leave the past behind and start this new year without any emotional baggage.
Of course, retrograde Mercury won’t make this task easy for you. However, you’re the one who has to take your life in your own hands and do what’s right.
Leo
If you belong to this zodiac, July will be a preparation for some big things headed your way. So, even if something you don’t like starts happening in your life, have in mind that it is all for your greater good.
Virgo
The following month will bring some new people into your life, despite that probably being the last thing you wish for right now. Be careful not to completely let in those who don’t deserve to stay and not to chase away those who do!
Libra
Sadly, for you, the Mercury retrograde doesn’t mean good news. You’ll spend most of the time overthinking and overanalyzing yourself and some of your wrong moves from your past. Remember that you can’t change history, so there is no point in obsessing about it.
Scorpio
For you, a time of revelation is coming. You’re about to find out some things you thought you were better off not knowing.
Nevertheless, have in mind that the worst truth is always better than the sweetest lie. Be grateful that you’ve finally opened your eyes and faced reality and remain strong enough to take it.
Sagittarius
For you, July will be full of crossroads and huge decisions that will impact the rest of your life.
When this happens, ignore what everyone else is telling you and just follow your intuition. Sometimes the smartest choice doesn’t equal the best one for us.
Capricorn
Most of the time this month, you’ll be overwhelmed by anger and unnecessary tensions.
You’ll be in the constant mood for arguing with your loved ones and as soon as this period passes, you’ll see that not one of these little things were worth losing your nerves over.
Aquarius
The thing that will destroy your inner peace in July is pessimism. Somehow, you’ll just wake up one morning and start seeing everything around you negatively.
Don’t let these dark thoughts affect your judgments and do your best to chase them away.
Pisces
Anxious and depressive thoughts are what will bother all Pisces this July.
When this starts happening, just have in mind that you’re the ruler of your mind and your emotions.
Don’t forget that everything you’re going through right now is nothing but a phase that will go away.
