How to Survive Mercury Retrograde 2025 Without Hexing Your Wi-Fi Router
(or Yourself!)

Ah yes, Mercury Retrograde—the astrological version of “have you tried turning it off and on again?”, or resisting the urge to throw your phone into oncoming traffic after receiving an unwelcome text message.

In 2025, Mercury moonwalks through our lives three times, and here are the exact dates to reflect on how it went as well as prepare for (or blame things on, let’s be honest):

• March 14 – April 7, 2025 (Sheesh, this one was rough!)

• July 17 – August 11, 2025

• November 9 – November 29, 2025 (Happy Thanksgiving?)

So how do you survive it? Simple: don’t take anything personally, especially if your phone autocorrects “namaste” to “nuisance.” (It’s not wrong.) Easier said than done!

First rule: back it up, buttercup. Your laptop, your phone, your carefully crafted moon water inventory spreadsheet—Mercury RX loves a tech mishap the way a Virgo loves a freshly alphabetized bookshelf. Double-check travel plans, read the fine print, and for the love of all that is sacred, don’t sign contracts while Mercury’s doing the moonwalk. Unless, of course, you enjoy spiritual plot twists.

Second: reclaim the "re" words. Retrograde is actually the Universe’s passive-aggressive way of whispering, “calm down or I’ll make you calm down”. Reflect, revisit, revise, reconnect. Refrain from texting your ex unless you're spiritually prepared for a karmic pop quiz. And if your crystal grid collapses mid-realignment, consider it divine choreography—Mercury just wanted a front-row seat.

Finally: laugh. Seriously. This Mercury Retrograde (in the sign of dramatic Leo) isn’t here to ruin your life, it’s just here to make sure you’re paying attention—to yourself, your truth, and whether your soul is subscribed to the right vibrational data plan. So light some sage, charge your crystals, and trust that even the cosmic chaos is part of the plan. See you on the other side!
