From July 18th to August 11th , Mercury goes retrograde — and if there's ever a time to pause , now's the time.
When this planet of communication, technology, and logic goes backward (or seems to go backward), we feel the world turned upside down: messages exchanged, plans postponed, devices that stop working, and emotions that speak louder than reason.

But it's not all drama. Mercury retrograde is also an opportunity to review, reorganize, and regain focus. An invitation to look inward and reinforce your wellness routine—because when the outside world is unstable, the inside is the safest place.

Below, we share how each sign might experience this phase — and the MPL Beauty ritual that will help you navigate it with more balance, presence, and intention.

Cosmic survival tips:

Mercury retrograde almost always brings the same ingredients: communication breakdowns, unexpected delays, logistical mix-ups, and heightened emotions. During this cycle, the ideal is to avoid important decisions , back up everything , and embrace the chaos as an opportunity for a reset.

Adopting small wellness rituals can make all the difference. Refocusing, cleansing, and aligning with what truly matters is the best way to get through this period. After all, self-care is your greatest energetic protection .
