Travel and higher-education plans need patience during July 2026's Mercury retrograde for Scorpio, but a breakthrough in long-distance or academic matters arrives once Mercury turns direct on July 23rd.
Acharya Raj Mishra describes July 2026 as a month of "productive delay" for Scorpio (Vrishchik) natives, with Mercury retrograde moving through the ninth house of travel, higher learning, and long-distance connections until July 23rd.
Travel & Education: Proceed Carefully
Visa applications, university admissions, or long-distance travel bookings may face unexpected delays or paperwork errors this month. Build in extra time and avoid finalising international plans until after the 23rd wherever possible.
Old Connections Resurface
A foreign contact, former teacher, or overseas opportunity from the past may reappear around July 15th. Approach it with curiosity rather than immediate commitment.
July 23rd: The Path Clears
Once Mercury turns direct, a long-pending visa, admission, or travel plan is approved. This is an excellent window for signing academic or international agreements in the final week of July.
Health & Relationships
Digestive sensitivity continues to require attention, particularly rich or unfamiliar foods while travelling. Emotional honesty with a partner deepens trust as the month progresses.
Scorpio's patience with delayed plans in July 2026 is rewarded with genuine long-distance breakthroughs.
