To: August 12, 2025
Sign: Cancer → Gemini (Vedic calculation)

Mercury, the planet of communication, logic, contracts, and decision-making, turns retrograde in July 2025, creating subtle disturbances in professional life. Whether you're planning a job switch, launching a new business, or signing deals—pause and read this first.


What Happens During Mercury Retrograde?

In Vedic astrology, Budh Graha governs:

  • Communication and technology

  • Business intelligence

  • Contracts and travel

  • Networking and coordination

When retrograde, Mercury appears to move backward and creates mental fog, miscommunication, errors in judgment, and delays in decision-making—especially in career and commerce.


Career Moves to Avoid During Mercury Retrograde:

1. Avoid Signing Major Contracts or Agreements

Legal clauses, typos, or technical errors may slip through. Postpone deals or have them triple-checked.

2. Don't Start a New Job or Venture Without Review

If you must begin something, ensure all past associations are resolved. Often, new ventures started during retrograde require revision or restarting.

3. Delay Big Announcements or Brand Launches

Avoid marketing blitzes or rebranding exercises. Messages may not reach your audience as intended, or tech glitches may spoil the impact.

4. Don’t Rely on Technology or Software Launches

Emails can go missing, devices may malfunction, or data may get corrupted. Back up everything.

5. Avoid Career-Ending Conversations

This is not the time to resign in anger, confront a boss, or escalate internal issues. Emotions can be misunderstood—pause and rethink.


✅ What You Can Do During Mercury Retrograde:

  • Revisit old contacts, resumes, or business ideas

  • Re-analyze past strategies and failed plans

  • Resolve unresolved communication issues

  • Refine your brand voice, pitch decks, or offers

  • Seek inner clarity through meditation or journaling
