Why phones, messages, documents & decisions need extra mindfulness
Mercury is the planet of communication, speech, intellect, paperwork, travel logistics, gadgets (especially mobile phones) and day-to-day coordination.
When Mercury goes combust (too close to the Sun) or retrograde, these areas don’t stop—but they misfire, delay, or demand revision.
2026 is unusually active for Mercury. Let’s decode what’s happening, what it means, and how to stay protected—especially after what you noticed on 27 Dec 2025, when your mom dropped her phone.
 What Does “Combust Mercury” Mean?
When Mercury comes very close to the Sun, it becomes combust—its clarity gets “burned” by solar heat.
Effects you may notice:
Forgetfulness, miscommunication
Phone damage, data loss, wrong clicks
Documents misplaced or misunderstood
Speaking without being fully heard
Technical glitches despite best efforts
Combust Mercury = mind working, but signal weak
 What Does Retrograde Add?
Mercury retrograde repeats, revisits, delays, and corrects.
Combined with combustion, it often shows:
Dropped phones
Wrong messages sent
Emails missed
Contracts needing rework
Old issues resurfacing

 About Your Mom Dropping Her Phone (27 Dec 2025)
Yes—your intuition is spot on.
From 28 Dec 2025, Mercury moves into combustion territory.
Physical signs like:
Phone slipping
Screens cracking
Objects falling from hands
are classic Mercury pre-shadow signals.
 Astrology doesn’t create fear—it creates awareness.
This period asks for care, not panic.
️ Mercury Remedies (Simple & Practical)

it’s here to teach conscious communication.
Slow words.
Mindful tech use.
Clear intentions.
That’s how you stay ahead of the cosmic curve.
