Mercury retrograde 2026: dates, meaning and how it affects each sign
If messages keep crossing, your phone is playing up and someone from your past has suddenly got back in touch, chances are someone will tell you: “it’s because Mercury is retrograde”. Here you’ll find what Mercury retrograde really is, all the Mercury retrograde 2026 dates (plus 2027 and 2028), how it affects each sign according to astrology, and what to do (and not do) while it lasts. But first, see it for yourself: drag the date and watch Mercury “go backwards” in the sky.Quick answer: Mercury goes retrograde three or four times a year, for about three weeks each time. The current one runs from 24 October to 13 November 2026, in Scorpio (with a shadow period from 4 October to 30 November), and the next one from 9 February to 3 March 2027, moving from Pisces into Aquarius. It’s an optical illusion: seen from Earth, the planet appears to move backwards. Astrology links it to misunderstandings, delays and returns to the past, and advises reviewing rather than starting. In the experience below you can see in real time whether Mercury is retrograde right now.

What does your date of birth say about you? For centuries, numerology has looked for meaning in numbers, and the most important of them all is your life path number.

Best of all, you can play with them: work out yours, add your partner, your parents or your siblings, and discover your family’s numerology map.Quick answer: to calculate your life path number, add up all the digits of your date of birth and keep adding the result until you’re left with a number from 1 to 9.
