Get ready as the last Mercury retrograde of the year is approaching! When emails disappear, you experience unexpected traffic at unusual hours, or you find yourself having a misunderstanding with someone close to you, it’s natural to wonder if Mercury is retrograde again. This could be a plausible explanation given that the planet associated with communication, transportation and technology is retrograde for up to 12 weeks each year. However, the dysfunctions and slowdowns experienced could also be related to the period before Mercury retrograde: the pre-shadow phase of Mercury retrograde. This phase provides insight into the challenges that may arise during retrograde as Mercury begins to gradually slow down before going into retrograde motion.
If you’re not exactly thrilled to learn that the sometimes frustrating impact of Mercury retrograde extends beyond what you first thought, you should know that there are ways to take advantage of the pre-shadow phase of Mercury retrograde. Read on for all the information on Mercury’s 2024 retrograde shadow period, which begins on Thursday, November 7 and ends when Mercury officially enters retrograde on Monday, November 25.
What exactly is Mercury’s pre-shadow period (retrograde)?
Before each Mercury retrograde, there is a pre-shadow phase. As you probably know, Mercury retrograde usually lasts about three weeks. During this time, the planet of communication seems to have reversed course, from our perspective on Earth. But before entering retrograde, Mercury begins to gradually slow down about two weeks in advance. That’s because direct-moving Mercury is the fastest planet in our solar system, completing its orbit around the Sun in just 88 Earth days.
