Mercury Retrograde 2028
Avoid transport chaos, travel stoppages, product recall, stalled negotiations and other Mercury Retrograde issues. Just plan ahead – with specific astrology dates.
Mercury Retrograde in January 2028
I am writing this two years before it happens, but your first Mercury Retrograde rescheduling happens from 4-19 Aquarius from January 9th to March 5th.
If you have Aquarius factors in your birth chart, your social media, group, friends, clubs, teams and circles will see one or two rewrites in your diary. Some plans may come to nothing.
Globally this hits sport and politics. Also the big groups – the United Nations and NATO.
In general expect extreme weather, computer failures and other X factors to get in the way of your plans. Have your own Plan B and C.

May 6 to June 30, 2028
Mercury Retrograde at 6 to 16 degrees Gemini will deliver stoppages and cancellations with public transport, trains, short haul flights, the internet, computers, telephone networks and the media.
This is more than just the usual inconvenience of regular plan upsets. It’s a global domino effect, for whatever reason. It may be extreme weather or major IT failure. AI will be hard hit.
August 30 to October 26, 2028
Mercury goes forwards, backwards, forwards and stalls now. It occurs at 3-18 Libra. If you have Libra birth chart factors this is about a business partnership; marriage; divorce; separation. It’s about legal disputes, conflicts and (on the world stage) two allies, but also battles and war.
Have Plan B and C for the usual transport, travel, telephone and/or computer issues that come with Mercury Retrograde now.
2028 to 2029
At 17 to 29 Capricorn, Mercury Retrograde finishes 2028 and starts 2029 with rewritten rescheduling. From 17-29 Capricorn, in particular, Mercury rewinds from the year before. You will see reshuffling, redundancies, resignations which don’t stick now or take months to conclude.
As this comes on the back of Christmas, extreme weather (snow, storms, heatwaves and other weather events around the world) will stop, cancel or slow down transport and travel.
January 14 to February 13 2029 replays December 2028, specifically the 22nd to 31st.
So I’m sorry but it’s not a smooth Christmas and New Year period. Fortunately you have astrology tell you two years in advance. Images: Dreamstime/Rawpixel.
