Mercury retrograde: every date until 2030
The next time Mercury is retrograde is from 24 October 2026 to 13 November 2026.
Three to four times a year, Mercury seems to run backwards for about three weeks. Mercury is the fastest planet: it overtakes the Earth on the innermost orbit, and from here it looks as if it were going back. Tradition reads these weeks as a time when messages, contracts and technology snag: you check twice and allow extra time.
