Ever notice your phone glitching, your emails vanishing, or your best friend suddenly misreading your vibe? Yep, Mercury retrograde is lurking. The next one’s rolling in soon—late March to April 2025—and it’s ready to stir up communication chaos, tech tantrums, and emotional whirlwinds. But don’t panic! Whether you’re a Gemini losing your words or a Pisces drowning in feels, we’ve got your back with crystals, rituals, and tips to ride it out. Let’s dive in—here’s your survival guide, straight from Iluterra.
Who Feels It Most?
Mercury rules communication and logic, so some zodiac signs get hit harder when it goes retrograde. Here’s who’s bracing for impact:
  • Gemini: Brain fog and tangled conversations.
  • Virgo: Overthinking and perfectionist meltdowns.
  • Libra: Relationship hiccups and decision paralysis.
  • Pisces: Emotional storms and tech gremlins.
    Not your sign? No worries—these tricks work for anyone caught in the retrograde riptide.
