Zodiac Signs During Mercury Retrograde: Chaos, Confusion, and Cosmic Comedy
Aries
is not handling it well—at all. Patience was never their strong suit, and during Mercury Retrograde, they’re ready to flip out over every delayed text or miscommunication. Expect Aries to be impulsive and frustrated, sending off bold messages they might regret later.
Meanwhile,
Taurus
is just trying to hold everything together. They hate disruption, and Mercury Retrograde feels like a giant cosmic prank. Taurus will stubbornly try to stick to their routine, even though the universe keeps throwing curveballs. Their frustration will come out in passive-aggressive sighs or extended snack breaks.
Gemini
is one of Mercury’s children, so when retrograde hits, they feel the impact more than most. Their usual charm and gift of gab suddenly short-circuit. Expect mix-ups in communication, missed texts, and a whole lot of “Wait, what did I say?” moments. Poor Gemini is just trying to keep up with the confusion.
Cancer
will take everything extra personally during this time. That email from a coworker? Definitely passive-aggressive (even if it wasn’t). Cancers will withdraw into their shell, avoiding conflict and worrying over every little thing. Retrograde makes them feel hypersensitive, so tread lightly.
Leo
might actually get a bit dramatic about it all. If something goes wrong, it’s the end of the world in their eyes. They’ll probably vent to everyone around them, turning even the smallest inconvenience into a full-on performance. But leave it to Leo to laugh about it later once the drama settles.
Virgo
, ruled by Mercury, feels this retrograde hard. Their organized world goes topsy-turvy, and they don’t handle it well. Virgos will try to overanalyze everything, stressing over things they normally have under control. Expect them to be perfectionists in panic mode.
Libra
just wants everyone to get along, but during Mercury Retrograde, that seems impossible. Miscommunications with friends, partners, and even baristas are more common. Libra will try to keep the peace, but deep down, they’re feeling the chaos too and may question every decision they make.
Scorpio
sees Mercury Retrograde as a time to dig deep into the past, which can be a bit dangerous. Old feelings, old flames, and unresolved issues tend to resurface for them. Scorpios love a good mystery, but during retrograde, they might get a little too caught up in their own heads, brooding over things better left alone.
Sagittarius
is just annoyed by the whole thing. They want to move forward, but Mercury Retrograde keeps pulling them back. Plans go awry, and they feel stuck. Sagittarius might become extra restless during this period, ready to escape the retrograde madness by any means necessary.
Capricorn
is busy trying to pretend everything is fine. Even when things are falling apart, they’ll keep a cool exterior, but inside, they’re annoyed. Mercury Retrograde messes with their carefully laid plans, which they cannot stand. Capricorns will try to power through, but expect a few clenched jaws.
Aquarius
actually finds the whole thing a bit amusing. They’re used to going against the grain, so Mercury Retrograde feels like just another weird twist in life. They’ll try to find the humor in it, though even Aquarius can get frustrated when technology fails or plans fall through.
Lastly,
Pisces
will be lost in their daydreams, maybe even more so during Mercury Retrograde. They’ll float through the chaos, trying to escape into their own world. While they might miss a few important messages, Pisces will roll with the cosmic punches, going with the flow in their usual dreamy way.
Mercury Retrograde might be chaotic, but the zodiac signs all handle it in their own unique (and often hilarious) ways.
