3 Zodiacs Who Will Hear From Their Ex This Month (Thanks To Mercury Retrograde)

  • Updated

Mercury Rx brings back the ex for these three zodiac signs. Who can Aries, Aquarius, and Capricorn expect to hear from, and what should they do?

As the old saying goes, “Mercury Rx brings back the ex.” There will be multiple opportunities for an ex to return during Mercury retrograde in Leo from July 18 to August 11. Exes of all kinds will reconsider reaching out to their missed opportunities, unfulfilled crushes, and past partners. Although it’s exciting to hear that a potential ex may reach out, just remember that this could bring more drama into your life than it’s worth. Aries, Aquarius, and Capricorn need to be careful of who they let back in, since not every ex is worth a second (or third, or fourth) chance.

Aries

Could this situationship ever become something more, Aries? Long ago, you may have fallen head over heels for someone you never technically even dated. For whatever reason, this person and you couldn’t get out of your romantic gray area. Perhaps this was only meant to be a friends-with-benefits situation. Romantic feelings may not have been reciprocated if one person felt more strongly than the other. Either way, you have a chance to reconnect with this “ex” during Mercury retrograde. But can you get out of the situationship zone with them? Truly trying might require more effort, vulnerability, and consistency. Only time will tell if both of you are up for the challenge, so be careful with your heart.

Aquarius

The one that got away could come back, Aquarius. You may have dated someone you could’ve seen yourself marrying one day. This person may have had all the characteristics you desire in a life partner. However, your relationship didn’t go as planned. They could have gotten away for so many reasons, causing you to wonder what could have been. At first, this Mercury retrograde may seem like a blessing if this special person comes back into your life. But don’t get too excited just yet. Your relationship may have ended for a particular reason, one that cannot be discredited or overlooked. Give this reconnection time and space. Manage your expectations, since you never know what could happen with this ex.

Capricorn

Your sneaky link is thinking about you, Capricorn. There’s an ex from your past you may not be able to openly claim, let alone talk about. Maybe this relationship coincided with another relationship, or perhaps you both sworn to secrecy for another reason. Regardless, this secret love affair ended for a reason. Grieving your sneaky link in private wasn’t easy, so imagine how hard it would be to take them back during this Mercury retrograde. You may have to keep this on the DL if you cannot tell your friends that the “no contact” rule was broken. As exciting as it might be to hear from your sneaky link, you should go into this reunion prepared to repeat the clandestine cycle.
