Mercury, the planet of the mind, goes retrograde in Cancer-Ashlesha on July 18th up to August 11th, in the planet’s longest and slowest retrograde phase of 2025.
There are classic experiences associated with this three-week-plus window, where communication and commerce come into focus, and you have the opportunity to reassess your plans. Mercury begins in Ashlesha, the intense and protective transit associated with psychological insight and financial security. You may be rethinking your budget at this point, or a planned purchase is delayed while you do your research on the market.
This is a good time to window-shop, understand a delivery system, and possibly save yourself time and expense in the long run. Retrograde phases have a way of throwing up an important detail you could not possibly have known at the time, so deferring is a smart move and not necessarily a sign of indecision. The New Moon in Cancer on July 24th is a new beginning where Mercury sees you picking up on a recent offer or opening that resurfaces. Think carefully before accepting a second-around deal, as your initial hesitancy or unwillingness may have been for sound reasons.
Conditions change, however, so also pay attention to any new terms and ways that you can profit. By July 29th, Mercury returns to Pushya to bring a generous and supportive atmosphere, where you may revise your thinking upwards in terms of making a gift or donation. August 9th’s Full Moon brings a potential business deal together and you may complete a job or idea from the past, though it pays to wait until after August 11th to finally commit.
