Mercury retrograde starts June 29, 2026, bringing good luck to four Indian zodiac signs

From the night of June 29, 2026 at 10:45 p.m., Mercury will enter a retrograde phase in the sign of Cancer, remaining retrograde until July 24. During this period it will pass into Gemini on July 7. Indian astrologer Anand Bharadwaj of Ujjain says the retrograde will affect all twelve signs, but four – Aries, Gemini, Leo and Aquarius – are expected to see particularly positive outcomes. They may experience career advancement, financial gains, enhanced reputation and relief from long‑standing personal or legal disputes.

Conversely, the same retrograde is forecast to be challenging for three other signs – Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces. Astrologers advise these signs to avoid hurried decisions in business or investments, to watch their speech to prevent conflicts, and to take extra care while traveling. General precautions for everyone include reviewing documents carefully before signing contracts and refraining from impulsive actions.
