In 2026, Mercury retrograde hits the three water signs: Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio. When Mercury moves into the moon sign in this element, we are pushed to think outside our comfort zone, so prepare to feel like a fish out of water! These retrograde movements, the first of which begins on February 26, will change future relationships and help us better understand our emotions, as well as boundaries.

The several-week transit brings misunderstandings, technological problems, dubious rumors, and extreme nostalgia. Former partners reappear out of nowhere, accidents happen, and situations spiral out of control. The flip side is that we may revisit, reexamine, reexamine, and reevaluate things that have been on our minds and hearts. Mercury is moving more slowly, advising us to do the same. Most importantly, back up your computers and have an alternative solution for problems.

Mercury retrograde in Pisces: February 26 to March 20

This Mercury retrograde in Pisces will be tiring. We will need a good night's sleep to get through the day.

The reason is that Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and is the least favorable position for Mercury, focusing on details and being factual, while Pisces has a higher and more creative view of things. When they are together, the confrontational energy can bring us wrong information, as there is an imaginative talent. Add in the retrograde energy and it can make things even more confusing. As a result, our heads will be spinning and we will have brain fog. It will make us question our surroundings and our intuition every second, urging us to stop for a moment to meditate and relax from external irritants, such as gossip or other people's predictions that are stressful.

The pre-retrograde phase occurs from February 11 to 26, so be on the lookout for new information that appears then, because it sets the tone for the cosmic phenomenon.

The retrograde zone, or postretrograde zone, clears the cycle from March 20 to April 9. This is a time where we have a third pass to clear the clutter and drama from the retrograde.

Mercury in retrograde motion in Cancer: June 29 to July 23

Mercury retrograde in Cancer highlights issues that need to be transformed in family and living situations. Cancer is the sign of home and what we hold near and dear to our hearts. The sign speaks of what we protect most and what we want to cultivate. This Mercury retrograde will make us insensitive, so give up the pinches and make us feel like we need to calm down in a cocoon and hide from external negativity.

However, what we will discover is that it is important to connect with people who support us and who will support us whether issues need to be addressed within a family unit or close friendships. Drama with roommates may reach a peak, try to be diplomatic to resolve the issue smoothly. No matter how much we want to redecorate, avoid major changes because our choices will haunt us when Mercury turns direction.

June 13th to June 29th brings pre-retrograde energy, sparking frustrations and bad moods. Take a step back and head to the beach or pool to relax. Like crabs, the beach is our refuge.

The retrograde period begins on July 23 and ends on August 6, allowing us to temper our emotions by discussing them with trusted people in order to seek guidance on how to move forward.

Mercury retrograde in Scorpio: October 24 to November 13

Mercury retrograde in Scorpio will be a complex moment. At the same time, Venus will move backward through Scorpio and Libra, asking us to reflect on relationships and money. Since Mercury in Scorpio wants to "let the tea out," it will be interesting to see what comes out publicly.

With Venus transiting the moon at the same time, we can look back and analyze the past to see if there might be interesting rumors circulating about our interests. They will be unsavory and messy. Scorpio is the “claws of justice,” making us uncertain about the merit of rumors. Partnerships will be tested because we will discover who our true friends are, those who are not doing their job or who expose jealousy in friendships will be exposed. Those who have proven to be authentic will always remain present in our lives.

The pre-retrograde transit occurs from October 4th to 24th, pushing us to verify facts and search beneath the surface to verify the stories we are told.

It runs from November 13th to November 30th, causing us to reevaluate the revelations and decisions made during the retrograde. This is a time of reflection and contemplation.
