The Quiet Power of People Who Stopped Explaining ThemselvesAs Mercury resumes its normal forward motion, the effects of its recent retrograde are still being felt. The period following a retrograde is known as the 'retroshade', a time when the planet's energy is still adjusting to its new direction.
What's Happening in the Stars Now?
During the retroshade, which will last until early August, the energies that were disrupted during the retrograde will begin to stabilize. This means that any issues or problems that arose during the retrograde may still be resolved or clarified.
The retroshade is a time for reflection and review, allowing us to make any necessary adjustments before moving forward. As Mercury continues on its normal path, we can expect communication and technology to become more reliable and efficient.
