Navigating the Cosmic Aftermath: How to Survive Retroshade After Mercury Retrograde

Writer: Flavia da MattaFlavia da Matta

Just as we breathe a collective sigh of relief at the end of Mercury retrograde, another cosmic phenomenon emerges to challenge our resilience: Retroshade… While Mercury resumes its direct motion, Retroshade lingers, casting its shadow over our lives with residual challenges and echoes of the retrograde period. But what is retro shade? It’s the post-retrograde that occurs right after the retrograde ends and happens for 2 weeks from the date of the end of the retrograde! Two more weeks to go! But fear not! With the right mindset and strategies in place, we can navigate this transitional phase with grace and resilience. Here's how to survive Retroshade:


Understanding Retroshade

Retro shade can be compared to the cosmic aftermath of Mercury retrograde. It's a time when we may still encounter communication glitches, technological mishaps, and delays, but much less than during retrograde. Think of it as a cosmic cooldown before things fully return to normal.


Tips for Surviving Retroshade


  1. ⁠Stay Grounded: Staying grounded is crucial amidst cosmic chaos. Engage in grounding practices such as meditation, yoga, or spending time in nature. Touch the ground, hug a tree. Connecting with the earth's energy can help anchor you during times of uncertainty.

  2. ⁠Reflect and Reevaluate: Use this period for introspection and reflection. What lessons did Mercury's retrograde teach you? Take stock of your experiences and consider how you can apply these insights moving forward. Use this time to realign with your goals and intentions. It's a great time for journaling!

  3. Communicate Mindfully: While communication may be much easier than during Mercury retrograde, it's essential to communicate mindfully. Be clear and concise in your interactions, and practice active listening to avoid misunderstandings. Choose your words carefully, and be patient with others.

  4. ⁠Proceed with Caution: Just because Mercury retrograde is over doesn't mean all challenges disappear overnight. Proceed with caution in matters of technology, travel, and decision-making. Double-check details and be flexible as you navigate through Retroshade.

  5. Embrace the Journey: Remember that Retroshade, like all cosmic cycles, serves a purpose in our journey of growth and self-discovery. Embrace the ups and downs, trusting each challenge presents an opportunity for personal evolution. Cultivate a mindset of resilience and adaptability as you move through this transitional phase.
