As per astrology, Mercury Retrograde or Budh Varkri will be in retrograde motion 3 times in 2025. The first retrograde motion happened from March 14th to April 7th. The second retrograde will happen from 17th July to 11th August 2025, for a period of 24 days. A regular, but powerful retrograde that makes you feel introspective towards your goals and relationships.
Mr. Prashant Kapoor, the world’s 1st medical astrologer, explains this phenomenon of Mercury Retrograde.
Let’s give you a detailed understanding of Mercury Retrograde and what remedies should be undertaken.
What does it mean?
Mercury Retrograde means that it appears that Mercury is travelling backwards across the sky. And since it moves backwards, there are times when you will experience frustration, delays, and unfinished business. However, you will have to pause and reflect before taking any new step due to the frustration. Think as many times as you want before you sign that new contract or send that resignation mail, or sign your divorce papers.
Also, since this event of both Budh Vakri and Shani Vakri is coming together in 50 years, it is a golden period for many zodiacs.
Which signs will be most affected?
Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius will be most affected, since these signs are usually considered to be most stable and resistant to change. But this retrograde will make them susceptible to changes, and it will be essential for them to accept the changes without too much resistance.
For Gemini, Virgo, and Libra, this is a golden period, and they will be able to come out of the retrograde in a smooth way.
How will this retrograde affect everyone?
Mercury is the planet of communication, transportation, and technology. So, this retrograde will affect the way we communicate with others. Let’s understand the remedies people should do:
- Chant the Budh mantra in the morning: Om Bram Brim Broom Sah Budhaey Namah.
- Observe Fasts on Wednesday and Ekadashi.
- Donate to the needy.
- Reciting the Shri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram or worshipping the Buddha avatar of Lord Vishnu will also reap benefits.
- Feed green fodder to cows daily during the retrograde period.
Other Points to consider for people
- For people who will go through a period of healing, they should communicate with loved ones and become more expressive and outgoing. They should also introspect more about their relationships during this retrograde period.
- People should allot more time to their dreams by restructuring and adequate planning.
- Have more mentally stimulating conversations with your loved ones rather than unrelated talks.
- It’s also time to take a step back and concentrate on your own inner self. Pause the meetings with friends during this period.
Astrologer Prashant Kapoor believes that while the above guidelines are general guidelines for billions of people falling under the same zodiac. However, all cannot experience similar events, and hence, one should consult a reputed astrologer to get individualized guidance on remedies. Overall, this is a period of major planetary change that will affect all the signs.
