Buddha Vakri 2026: In Vedic astrology, planet Mercury is considered to be the cause of intelligence, speech, reasoning power, business, communication and decision making ability. Whenever Mercury leaves its normal motion and goes retrograde (reverse movement), its effect is seen not only on the zodiac signs but also on the radix numbers of numerology. During this period, situations like misunderstandings in communication, confusion in business decisions, caution in financial matters and mental instability may arise.
Famous fortune tellers and horoscope analysts Dr. Anish Vyas According to (Pal Balaji Astrology Institute), Mercury will be retrograde from June 29 to July 24, 2026. During this time, communication, business and decision making ability may be affected. Especially people with radix numbers 5, 3 and 8 should be extra careful in financial matters, investments and important decisions.
According to numerology, people of radix number 5, radix 3 and radix 8 need to be most cautious during the period of Mercury retrograde. This time does not indicate taking hasty decisions, but moving forward with patience, prudence and in a planned manner. Let us know how the reverse movement of Mercury can affect these numbers and by what measures its negative effects can be reduced.
Importance of planet Mercury in numerology:
In numerology, every root number is related to some planet. The lord of radix number 5 is the planet Mercury itself. Therefore, the change in the movement of Mercury is first visible in the life of this radix number. At the same time, Mercury is also considered to be related to intelligence, analytical ability, writing, communication, business, technology and financial decisions. When this planet is retrograde, the person may sometimes face difficulty in taking right decisions, confusion in communication and unnecessary delay in work.
This is the reason why during this time it is advised to avoid doing any important work without thorough investigation.
Number 5: Haste can cause loss
If you are born on 5th, 14th or 23rd of any month, then your radix number is 5.
Since Mercury is the ruling planet of your radix number, this retrograde period can have the greatest impact on your life. Situations like sudden change in work area, confusion in decision making, confusion in business or wrong estimates in financial matters may arise.
If you are planning to start a new business, sign a big deal or invest, it would be better to be patient for some time. Any financial decision without complete information can cause problems in future.
Also, take the final decision only after thoroughly reading the emails, documents or any official papers. Small carelessness can cause big loss.
Radix 3: Restraint will become the biggest weapon in negotiations.
If you are born on 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th, then your number is 3.
The effect of Mercury retrograde may be more visible on your professional and social life. There may be a clash of opinions with colleagues or superiors at the workplace. Many times your words may be misinterpreted or you may misunderstand what someone is saying.
In such a time, instead of giving immediate answer to everything, it would be more beneficial to remain calm and understand the situation.
Vigilance is also necessary in financial matters. Avoid investing on someone’s advice or spending without planning. If you want to start a new project, then proceed only after making complete preparations for it.
Number 8: Take special care in business and money related matters.
If you are born on 8th, 17th or 26th, then your number is 8.
For people of this radix number, the retrograde movement of Mercury can bring situations like interruption in business activities, delay in payment and financial pressure. If you are involved in business, it will be necessary to examine all aspects thoroughly before any new investment or partnership.
Do not ignore your health during this period. Constant stress can increase problems at both mental and physical levels. Maintaining regular routine, adequate sleep and positive thinking will be beneficial for you.
