Astrologer warned about the impact of Mercury retrograde on decisions in 2026

In 2026, Mercury will become retrograde three times, which traditionally affects the sphere of communications, transport and document management. These periods should not be perceived as negative, but it is important to direct their energy to analysis, correction of mistakes and completion of old cases. On October 30, astrologer Anna Malyneva told Izvestia about this.

The first retrograde cycle will take place from February 26 to March 20, when Mercury will be in the sign of Pisces. According to the astrologer, this is a time of "emotional fog and confusion" when it is difficult to make rational decisions. Malineva advises avoiding signing important documents and trusting intuition in financial matters, focusing on creativity and inner work. The next period, from June 29 to July 23, will be under the influence of the sign of Cancer.

"We will return to the past and family issues, possible breakdowns of household appliances and failures with real estate," — said the expert.

She recommends paying attention to home and loved ones, but postponing the purchase of a new home.

In autumn, from October 24 to November 13, Mercury retrograde in Scorpio will make thinking especially critical.

"Do not borrow or lend, do not take risks with large loans," Malyneva stressed.

According to her, at this time it is worth doing an audit of finances and an analysis of relationships.

The main rule of 2026, according to the astrologer, is to "think three times before you start." Mercury retrograde is favorable for completing things, but not for new beginnings.
