Buddha Vakri 2026: From July 7, 2026, Mercury, the planet responsible for intelligence, speech, business and communication, is going to retrograde in its own sign Gemini. Whenever a planet goes retrograde, its effort power increases and it brings back to the fore the stalled things of the past. Since Gemini is the zodiac sign of communication and thinking, it is common to have confusion, malfunctions in gadgets and misunderstandings while speaking during this time. This retrograde period will last till July 23, 2026, when Mercury will turn direct. Let us know what effect this astronomical event is going to have on all the 12 zodiac signs:
