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

Yes—your intuition is spot on.

From 28 Dec 2025, Mercury moves into combustion territory.
Physical signs like:

💡 Astrology doesn’t create fear—it creates awareness.

This period asks for care, not panic.
