Mercury retrograde 2033: dates, degrees and what it means for each sign
Everything about Mercury retrograde in 2033 in one place: the exact station dates and degrees, the shadow periods, which other planets are retrograde at the same time, and a reading with practical advice for each of the twelve signs.
Mercury is retrograde three times in 2033: February 18 – March 13 (Pisces), June 21 – July 15 (Cancer) and October 16 – November 6 (Scorpio back into Libra). With the shadow periods, each cycle lasts about eight weeks. Astrologers read it as a time to re-read, back up and finish rather than to launch.
Mercury retrograde 2033: the dates
- February 18 – March 13, 2033 (22 days). Mercury stations retrograde on February 18, 2033 at 21:20 UTC, at 15°34′ Pisces. Mercury stations direct on March 13, 2033 at 02:58 UTC, at 1°02′ Pisces (the evening of March 12 in US time zones).
- June 21 – July 15, 2033 (24 days). Mercury stations retrograde on June 21, 2033 at 10:05 UTC, at 17°56′ Cancer. Mercury stations direct on July 15, 2033 at 14:19 UTC, at 8°31′ Cancer.
- October 16 – November 6, 2033 (20 days). Mercury stations retrograde on October 16, 2033 at 22:03 UTC, at 14°16′ Scorpio, backs into Libra on November 2. Mercury stations direct on November 6, 2033 at 12:40 UTC, at 28°27′ Libra.
Mercury is retrograde three or four times a year, for about three weeks each time. In 2033 every one of them begins in a water sign.
Times are UTC. Nothing reverses in space: retrograde motion is the apparent backward drift a planet shows when Earth overtakes it (or, for Mercury and Venus, when the planet overtakes Earth).

The whole year is on the retrograde calendar 2033.
What Mercury retrograde means in 2033
In astrology Mercury stands for communication, plans, travel, contracts and technology. Mercury retrograde is read as a review of how you think, talk and organise: messages cross, plans get revised, and people and conversations from the past return. In Pisces the subject is faith, compassion, imagination and endings. In Cancer the subject is home, family, belonging and emotional security. In Scorpio the subject is trust, intimacy, shared resources and what stays hidden. In Libra the subject is partnership, fairness, agreements and balance.
Who notices it most. For Feb 18 – Mar 13, 2033 astrologers look first at people with the Sun, Moon, rising sign or personal planets between 1° and 15° of Pisces, and at the same degrees of Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius. For Jun 21 – Jul 15, 2033 astrologers look first at people with the Sun, Moon, rising sign or personal planets between 8° and 17° of Cancer, and at the same degrees of Aries, Libra and Capricorn. For Oct 16 – Nov 6, 2033 astrologers look first at people with the Sun, Moon, rising sign or personal planets from 28° Libra to 14° Scorpio, and at the matching degrees of Aries, Cancer, Capricorn, Taurus, Leo and Aquarius. Everyone else can read it through the house it falls in, below.
What to do
Back up your devices, confirm times and bookings, and re-read before you sign or send. It is a good period for editing, repairing and finishing; brand-new contracts and big launches go more smoothly once Mercury is direct. The longer guide, with the astronomy and the reading of a natal Mercury retrograde, is on the Mercury retrograde page.
Mercury retrograde Feb 18 – Mar 13, 2033 for each sign
Read your rising sign first if you know it, since it sets the houses; then your Sun sign. Houses are counted from your sign in whole-sign style. The birthdays show whose Sun the retrograde touches directly: Mercury covers 1° Pisces to 15° Pisces, and the Sun moves about one degree a day, so the dates are approximate.
Aries: 12th house
Area of life: rest, solitude, endings and what you keep private. The noise is inside: overthinking, vivid dreams and things you never said. What to do: write it down before you say it, sleep more, and finish something privately before you announce it.
Mercury makes no major angle to a Aries Sun this time, so the house carries the reading.
Taurus: 11th house
Area of life: friends, groups and long-term hopes. Group chats misfire, plans with friends fall through, and old friends reappear. What to do: confirm arrangements twice, reconnect with one person you lost touch with, and review the goals you set a year ago.
Easier for Taurus born around April 21 – May 6 (Sun at 1°–15°): Mercury sextiles your Sun.
Gemini: 10th house
Area of life: career, reputation and public role. Career conversations loop back: a delayed decision, a former boss, a public statement you want to rephrase. What to do: update your CV and portfolio, re-read before you publish, and follow up on an application you had given up on.
Strongest for Gemini born around May 22 – June 6 (Sun at 1°–15°): Mercury squares your Sun.
Cancer: 9th house
Area of life: travel, study, beliefs and publishing. Travel plans, courses, visas and publishing dates shift, and you revise an opinion you were sure of. What to do: recheck bookings and documents, leave slack in an itinerary, and return to a course or a text you left unfinished.
Easier for Cancer born around June 22 – July 7 (Sun at 1°–15°): Mercury trines your Sun.
Leo: 8th house
Area of life: shared money, debts, intimacy and trust. Shared money, taxes, debts and insurance paperwork come back with corrections, and so do conversations about trust. What to do: go through joint accounts and old forms carefully, and have the honest talk in two calm parts.
Mercury makes no major angle to a Leo Sun this time, so the house carries the reading.
Virgo: 7th house
Area of life: partnerships, marriage and one-to-one relationships. Misunderstandings with a partner or a client; a past partner may get in touch, and agreements need rewording. What to do: ask what the other person actually meant, and re-read a contract with a partner or client before you sign.
Strongest for Virgo born around August 24 – September 8 (Sun at 1°–15°): Mercury is opposite your Sun.
Libra: 6th house
Area of life: daily work, routines and health habits. Work details slip: calendars, handovers, tools, and small errors that multiply. What to do: double-check deadlines and files, clean up your task list, and rebuild one routine that stopped working.
Mercury makes no major angle to a Libra Sun this time, so the house carries the reading.
Scorpio: 5th house
Area of life: romance, creativity, children and fun. An old flame, an old hobby or an unfinished creative draft comes back, and plans for fun get rescheduled. What to do: edit the draft instead of starting a new one, and treat a returning romance as a conversation to finish, with the decision later.
Easier for Scorpio born around October 24 – November 8 (Sun at 1°–15°): Mercury trines your Sun.
Sagittarius: 4th house
Area of life: home, family, roots and where you live. Home and family logistics get tangled: leases, repairs, a talk with a parent that you have had before. What to do: recheck the paperwork about where you live, finish the repair you started, and let a family conversation take two rounds.
Strongest for Sagittarius born around November 23 – December 8 (Sun at 1°–15°): Mercury squares your Sun.
Capricorn: 3rd house
Area of life: communication, learning, siblings and short trips. Messages cross, short trips change, and siblings or neighbours resurface with unfinished conversations. What to do: confirm times and addresses, back up your phone, and reply after a second read rather than at once.
Easier for Capricorn born around December 22 – January 7 (Sun at 1°–15°): Mercury sextiles your Sun.
Aquarius: 2nd house
Area of life: money, income, possessions and self-worth. Bills, invoices, subscriptions and price quotes need a second look; a payment can arrive late or wrong. What to do: check statements line by line, chase what you are owed, and re-read the terms before any purchase you could postpone.
Mercury makes no major angle to a Aquarius Sun this time, so the house carries the reading.
Pisces: 1st house
Area of life: your body, identity and how you come across. You rethink how you present yourself and what you say you want, and old statements get quoted back at you. What to do: re-read anything you send about yourself, from a bio to an application to a big announcement, and change your mind openly if you need to.
Strongest for Pisces born around February 19 – March 6 (Sun at 1°–15°): Mercury retrogrades over your Sun.
