Mercury Retrograde 2026: see the most affected signs

The third and last retrograde Mercury of 2026 takes place in Scorpio, between October 24 and November 13, with an aggravating: Venus is also retrograde in the same period, and the two return to direct motion on the same day. In the astrological universe, there is no punishment, there is an invitation — and this invitation calls for profound review, especially for some signs.

Signs of the fixed cross feel more

As this retrograde Mercury occurs in Scorpio, a fixed sign, tension is concentrated on the fixed cross. The signs that tend to feel the period more strongly are: Scorpio, Taurus, Lion and Aquarius.

For Scorpio, being the sign of retrogradeness, the invitation is for a profound revision of one’s own identity, the way of communicating and showing oneself. It is the most significant period of the year for the sign.

Taurus, as the opposite sign, receives attention turned to partnerships, marriage and societies. Unresolved conversations can resurface and agreements may need to be reviewed.

Lion forms a square with Scorpio, so home, family, and roots come into focus. Domestic affairs and issues of the past ask for a new look.

Aquarius also forms a quadrature, and the pattern shifts to career, public image and vocation. It is worth reviewing professional directions before hitting the hammer.

If you have Sun, Moon, Ascendant or Personal Planets between the 5th and 21st degrees of these signs, it is worth redoubling your attention. To find out if this is your case, see here your free Astral Map in Personare.

Impacts on other signs

Aries: Intimacy, debts and shared finances come to the surface. It is a good phase to renegotiate what already exists and review agreements with partners or with whom you share the account.

Twins: routine, day-to-day work and health require adjustment. Since Mercury is its regent, the period comes stronger. Review processes and confirm each combination.

Cancer: romance, creativity and pleasure come into review. Flirting with the past may reappear, and caged creative project asks for a second chance.

Virgo: communication, messages and paths require attention. As Mercury also rules Virgo, the climate tends to weigh a little more. Reread before sending.

Libra: finances, values and self-esteem go into review. Reorganize your budget and keep your purchases on impulse, even more so with Venus, your regent, also retrograde.

Sagittarius: time of collection. Dreams, memories and internal issues come to light. Rest, therapy, and silence now yield more than a busy schedule.

Capricorn: Friendships, groups and collective projects ask for review, and reunions are common. It is worth looking at who really adds to your network.

Fish: Beliefs, studies, travel and legal matters call for caution. Review long-term plans before closing and check documents calmly.

Period calls for patience and review

With Mercury and Venus retrograde simultaneously, the period between October 24 and November 13 invites us to slow down and revise important areas of life. Astrology suggests avoiding impulsive decisions and taking the opportunity to adjust what is already in progress.

For readers of Ponta Grossa and region, the time may be conducive to reflecting on local issues such as business partnerships and community projects, but the source did not detail specific regional impacts. The important thing is to use the energy of revision in favor of personal and collective growth.
