Horoscope fans beware, a distant planetary shift is set to throw every astrological sign into chaos and ruin your ability to communicate and travel for weeks. As we 'lap' the smaller planet, it appears to reverse direction, even though Mercury is still moving along its orbit normally. That is because Mercury has gone retrograde within the sign of Pisces, an astrological sign that loves to be misunderstood and is the complete opposite of one of the signs planet Mercury rules over, Virgo. Mercury retrograde in Pisces isn't diabolical, but it is slippery.' The next Mercury retrograde after the current three-week stretch is expected to start on June 29 and last until July 23.
