Mercury retrograde ends July 23, 2026, clearing communication in Brazil

The second Mercury retrograde of 2026 concludes on July 23, when the planet resumes direct motion in Cancer. A stationary phase follows until July 27, after which astrologers expect the lingering effects of the retrograde to fade.

During the retrograde period, communication, travel and technology were said to experience confusion and delays. With the direct motion, forecasts point to clearer dialogues, smoother transportation routes and greater technical stability, encouraging people to restart paused projects and implement revised plans.
