Mercury goes direct, we can breathe a sigh of relief The horosocope for each sign, meaning and effects of this transit

Mercury has taken over our lives and our summer. In July, the planet of communication entered a period of retrograde motion, which ends on August 11. Now it's moving forward again, kicking off an important astrological phase, a kind of new beginning that brings relief, especially if we know how to navigate it.

Mercury goes direct in August 2025: what it means and what to expect

As we've already mentioned, Mercury rules communication, technology, travel, and thought. During its retrograde, things can get slowed down and messy, causing misunderstandings and glitches. When Mercury goes direct, energy clears up and our perspective realigns. You might feel more focused, experience fewer miscommunications, and travel without fear of delays. This is the time to finalize things, take action, sign contracts, speak up, and start living again. But not everything that glitters is gold. It’s best to avoid clinging to past mistakes and conflicts, and steer clear of acting on impulse. Most importantly, don’t forget the lessons learned during Mercury retrograde.
