Mercury retrograde in August will affect all zodiac signs: key dates are announced

Mercury retrograde will soon begin to influence people's lives again. However, don't be in a hurry to get upset and prepare for hardships and trials.

Mercury is the planet that rules communication, information, intelligence, and the little things in our daily lives. Astrologers told us more about how it will affect everyone.

Mercury goes retrograde 3 or 4 times a year. Its purpose is to remind us to be more attentive and clear in our actions. Therefore, all signs will have to be more careful and check everything twice before making a decision.

In August 2024, Mercury retrograde will be in two signs – Virgo and Leo. Therefore, from August 5 to 14, your usual rational perception may change to anxiety and criticality to the smallest detail. You may face disappointments, so it's important to find a balance and organize your routine.

From August 14 to August 28, Mercury will move into Leo, shifting the focus from external to internal factors. You may face self-doubt and misinterpretation of your actions. This will be a time for self-reflection and self-esteem development.
