Doesn’t it feel like the three-week hellscape of Mercury Retrograde starts earlier and lasts longer than that? Last month, we felt the burn way before the 29th. You could blame it on the holidays … or, like alizakelly, shake your fists at retroshade
— but weren’t we all feeling the burn a few weeks before? Sure, you could blame it on the holidays … or you, like me, could shake your fists at retroshade.Technically speaking, retroshade refers to a planet’s “retrograde shadow period,” which occurs both before and after the retrograde itself. It’s when the planet slows down as it prepares to enter retrograde and speeds up as it leaves its backward motion behind.
To understand this concept, visualize walking in the snow ten paces, creating a trail of footprints behind you. Then, if you were instructed to walk backwards four paces, retracing your exact steps, you would find yourself returning to those same footprints again. Finally, you’re told to continue forward the remainder of the trail, which means stepping into those footprints for a third and final time in this bizarre winter exercise.
Basically, retroshade is a planet retracing its steps. Let’s take, for example, the current retrograde. Mercury went retrograde on December 29 at 24º Capricorn, and will conclude its backward motion at 8º Capricorn on January 18.
So, to recap, between Mercury Retrograde pre-shadow , Mercury Retrograde , and Mercury Retrograde post-shadow , we’re looking at a whopping nine weeks of mayhem. Yikes.Fear not, friends. The retroshade period is not nearly as calamity filled as the retrograde itself.for the retrograde by tracking the pre-shadow phase.
since October 30 and will finally finish its backward spin on January 12 , yielding ten long weeks of … well, burnout.
