2026 Mercury Retrogrades: Cycles of Reflection

As we look to our regular Mercury Retrograde (MRx) passages (which always occur about three times during any given year) we have additional timeframes to be acutely aware of within 2026 due to one Eclipse Season and another inner planet cycle of reflection of Venus Retrograde coupled with the preparation Approach to Mars Retrograde that will intertwine along with them.

We gratefully enter 2026 under no inner planet Retrograde Cycle nor Mercury Retrograde activity, unlike what 2025 granted us entering it during our last Mars Retrograde.

Understanding Mercury Retrograde and what it actually is meant to positively do for anyone is wise timing is everything wisdom to always take into consideration for our planning and scheduling needs. These recurring astrological cycles are mistakenly overly associated with fear and frustration, which absolutely is not the reaction we are ever meant to have with them.

“Mercury Retrograde is always first & foremost: A Cycle of Reflection.“ ~Sharita Star

Read that last statement again.

The only reasons Mercury Retrogrades “trip up” anyone is that:

One: most people are unaware it is in affect because they have never been introduced to the value of astrology, and naively choose to make initiations for intended long term success during them. 

Two: those who are aware of it are fooled into believing they should fear it every time is comes back around because they are simply misinformed.

If you know what not to do, and most importantly, what you absolutely can do under these reflective, recharging, reassessment and ultimate “time out” periods: you will always be in the energetic flow of Mastering Mercury Retrograde.

Before we get into when all of 2025’s cycle of reflection periods will urgently ask us to have the heads up in our calendars, let’s give you some astrological tips and tools to implement during any of them.

Why Are We Not Favored To Move Forward Under MRx? 

Mercury is our Messenger planet from above that guides all communications, thinking, mentality, movement, electronics, transportation, travel, changes, perceptions, adaptability and all exchanges of information that occur down here below.

When in Retrograde -due to the backtracking energy that is cast off from Mercury- all of the matters it watches over do not function nor move forward optimally. Precisely why, anyone is well advised to utilize these periods of time for pause, redoing, and only focus upon reworking what already exists.

Human error is always highest under Mercury Retrograde than any other time of the year. Naturally, forward thinking and planting for future success under this time is equally not well supported. 

Therefore, hold off on important decisions such as: starting a business, signing contracts, launching a product, getting married, buying a new car, engaging in any kind of new relationship, purchasing new technology, or buying a new home. None of these initiating actions will turn out well for the long-term, and if implemented under MRx, it is an astrological guarantee they are energetically tied up in faulty foundations that never have the genuine ability to sustain themselves for success.

What Are We Favored To Do With Success Under MRx?

Taking the first rule of thumb that Mercury Retrograde is a cycle of reflection, we are promised to flow with this reassessment time when we honor staying in this exact frame of mind. By only placing our attention upon what already exists, and choosing to wait and see about the future, our personal mastery of this cycle absolutely unfolds.

Getting out our “RE” vocabulary is one of the best ways we can discover ease and peace of mind.

Rerouting, reconnecting, reconsidering, recharging, resting, relaxing, reorganizing, researching, retreating, remembering, replanning, reframing, rescheduling, rekindling, repairing and replacing are all wonderful ways to reap the rewards of what this cycle of reflection is absolutely all about.

Mercury Retrograde is a marvelous time to work with: unfinished projects, revisiting existing creative outlets, reconnecting with old friends/former associates, reassessing existing business plans, practicing the pause, expecting rescheduling of plans, anticipating delays and set backs, having backup plans ready to go, replacing objects in need of repair (yet make sure these are done correctly), doing research, retreating away from the world, and above all, remembering to take a silent listen for oneself (extra meditation, journaling and yoga time please!).

Mercury Retrogrades & YOU! 

For anyone’s individual experience, taking a look at your Personal Forecast is always extremely favored to know the precise and specific areas of your life that each one will be seeking your reflective focus within.

As everyone collectively experiences any and all MRx cycles, each one is energetically different from the last, making no two MRxs exactly alike. While the same rules of thumb will always apply, the pulse will always cast off unique affects being Mercury is in another zodiac sign each time. Equally, the other positioning of the planets above any MRx also will relate to, also are never in the same configurations.

So, where is change and necessary reflection asking for your attention during any given year, and especially this one? Is it your income, lifestyle and vocation? Or your home/family life, wealth, and inner healing? Or how you approach your life, heart space and beliefs? What about your communication skills, relationships and hopes for the future? 

Take the 21 Day Journaling under MRx Challenge!

Wherever Mercury Retrograde lands in your life or business, know this: it is always time to sharpen the saw within it. The value of astrology is, you always have a precise map and blueprint to help personally guide you through any of them.

Each Mercury Retrograde lasts for approximately 21 days (3 weeks). All have an Approach period, (date when Mercury crosses over the degree point it will fully Retrograde back to) and a Shadow period, (date when Mercury moving forward crosses back over the degree point it began to Retrograde upon). The Approach alerts us to what MRx reflections and matters are on the way to be resolved, while the Shadow allows us to tie up the loose ends and recorrect any natural errors that occur during the Retrograde itself. As noted below, two of 2026’s Mercury Retrogrades overlap an Eclipse Season and Venus Retrograde coupled with the preparation Approach to a Mars Retrograde in early 2027: our other highly important inner planet cycles of reflection to be fully aware of.

An especially conscious observation to note: ALL 2026 Mercury Retrogrades only reflect within our three WATER Signs in Astrology: Pisces, Cancer & Scorpio. SO, Be Extra WATER Aware & Prepared as well!

LunarOScopes, 18 May Scorpio Full Moon, Let’s Release

SharitaStar.LunarOScopesF18“Emotion is the indicator of how much power you’ve got.” ~Abraham

Recognize Your Feelings Are Powerful Allies
We intentionally create our lives through emotion, which in turn, directly allows us to manifest accordingly via our thoughts as The Law of Attraction promises. Lunar energy from above is astrologically in charge of how the messages of our human emotions play out in precise timing. We are always offered the chance to evolve and align down here below, yet equally we must remember we energetically cannot solve everything we may need to in our lives all at once. Everything meant to emerge has a precise rhythm and measured motion in our timing.

As we become deeply aware of what we are feeling in our lives -when we move away from fear and tune in to our source that knows it is a vibrational and expanding being- we have leverage, control and clarity to move through what the contrast of our lives may be bringing towards us. If we choose resistance to what is, our thoughts only block what is meant to be inspiring us. Thus, we miss our opportunities, neglect to heal and recharge, surely keeping us in a downward spiral we feel no control within.

Ask yourself this question. Why do I ever feel stuck or dissatisfied? 


Answer. If you are not tuned into your feelings, your thoughts naturally are not focused and intentionally aligned with your desires. Negative emotions will only continue to point out what it is that you do not want if you are not coming from the feeling energy of expansion and choosing to be a deliberate creator.

Law of Attraction Fact: “You get what you think about whether you want it or not. There is no vibrational word for NO. Attention to whatever it is, always means YES.”~Abraham

To naturally allow us the time and space to work with how we can align in our rightful feeling vibration to attract what we want, each month, a New Moon opens a waxing phase of initiating energy favoring creation until we reach the Full Moon, opening up a waning phase allowing for natural correction, reflection and release.

LunarOScopes capture the forecast of these cycles indicating what is meant to begin or conclude, timing when and what specific area of life our Sun Sign benefits by turning our feelings into intentional thought. Of course this generalized view provides one part of our soul story focus, while examining our natal chart -cast from our full date and time of birth- provides us with our personal and deeper dish details.

Transforming Insecurities with Courageous Rebirth
Full Moon in Scorpio 5:11pmEDT, 18 May, Let’s Release & Reflect
Waning Phases always favor to let go, review, redo, and heal energetically throughout one half of your Zodiac Pie. This month our request is from 27 degrees Scorpio through Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries and Taurus until the third New Moon of Spring 2019 arrives at 12 degrees Gemini 03 June. This third Full Moon of Spring and fifth of 2019 casts us into a period of reflection and reassessment from where The Eagle asks for transformation within our lives.

Our Scorpio Full Moon finds us involved in adjustments and clearing from this area of our life. As we work courageously with our feelings -relying upon only our self to discern the sensations we are receiving- we allow any insecurities we may have to regenerate, release and heal. The 27 degree point represents relying upon patience, recognizing the seeds we have previously sown, and choosing a warrior presence for anything we are meant to face and not remain in fear about. This friendly and fortunate number is extremely important to understand and assimilate into our healing, reminding us to practice a peaceful response to conflict in our life absolutely assists us to rise above it. As we engage this month’s Full Moon reflections, being gentle with ourselves and within our relationships to others, allows us to hold our keys to success.

Transforming Materialism with Intuition
New Moon in Scorpio 11:02amEST, 07 November, Let’s Carefully Begin & Initiate
Waxing Phases favor actions involving planting anew and moving forward, as energy increases throughout one half of your Zodiac Pie from 15 degrees Scorpio through Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries and Taurus until the next Full Moon at 0 degrees Gemini 23 November. This second New Moon of Autumn 2018 falls within the sign of power, rebirth and transformation, favoring for a deep look at death and rebirth that undeniably shows us wealth is far beyond a financial picture. This is a profound time to listen carefully to the intuitive areas of our lives from where we both organize and communicate from.

We have another distinct opportunity as our previous Libra New Moon offered in October to tap into what needs simplification concerning materialism across the board. This is the second New Moon in a series of 7 through 05 April 2019’s New Moon in Aries that will all fall at the 15th degree. The entire world is being distinctly asked to come into a powerful realignment concerning our relationship to materialism -which if denied- will cause upsets and situations to personally arise that could otherwise be completely avoided.

This New Moon at the 15 degree point of Scorpio continues to ask that we look at both sides of any issue concerning value within our lives, with intuition at our side and to accept what it is that we must allow to become reborn in order to do so. This request is equally intensified as Venus Retrograde is still in transit until 16 November, casting another mindful net around what we may be beginning anew for this waxing phase, while the preview to more reflection is also underway as the Approach to the year’s final Mercury Retrograde (16 November to 06 December) has been on since 28 October. Whatever we may be shown that especially relates to money, beauty, value, luxury, legal agreements and relationships that doesn’t already exist- absolutely needs to be very carefully researched and monitored. Remembering Retrogrades always favor we simply return to what already exists for review and redo success, allows these specific areas of focus to find a positive flow of renewal, refreshment and intense resolutions to unfold.

Autumn’s 2nd New Moon is here Dear Star! How will you embrace Transforming Materialism with Intuition?
