Mercury Retrograde: How a Psychic Reading Can Provide Clarity

The preshadow phase of Mercury retrograde began on October 21, 2025.

As reported by The New York Post, the pre-shadow phase begins at 20°42 of Scorpio and continues until Mercury turns retrograde in early November. The planet associated with communication, logic, and travel doesn't fully stabilize until December 16. This indicates that the upcoming two months will feature the typical mix of miscommunication, tech issues, and existential overthinking that Mercury retrograde is notorious for.

DO YOU FEEL OFF?

“The pre-shadow is when we begin experiencing the effects of Mercury’s deceleration. It's the phase where retrograde themes start to surface—misunderstandings, delays, and déjà vu moments.”

As Mercury moves backward, astrologically, it retraces its path over the same degrees it covered during the shadow. The pre-shadow lays the groundwork for what will later need revisiting, while the post-shadow helps tidy things up afterward. It’s not a curse but rather a prompt to slow down, be attentive, and always read the fine print before proceeding.

This specific retrograde begins in the deeply emotional sign of Scorpio, known for digging into feelings, before transitioning into the outspoken Sagittarius, famous for being overly talkative. Prepare for blunt words, sudden revelations, and a general sense that everyone’s filter is malfunctioning.

Astrologically, Mercury retrograde occurs three to four times a year, but the shadow periods on either side extend its influence to nearly half the year. In other words, we spend a significant amount of time under Mercury’s mischief.

If you’re already preparing, that’s wise. Back up your files, double-check your messages, and perhaps reconsider sending that 2 a.m. text. The cosmic interference has begun, and the signal will only become more distorted from here.

The pre-shadow is often overlooked, but astrologers suggest it's where the foundation is laid. This is the phase of the cycle when certain themes start to appear, like the old argument you thought was resolved, the ex who unexpectedly reappears, or the email you should have reviewed before sending.

Few cosmic phenomena are experienced as intensely as Mercury retrograde. Three to four times annually, the planet associated with communication and connection seems to reverse its course, leading to weeks of miscommunications, disrupted plans, and the return of old memories.

Although the scientific explanation is straightforward, the spiritual impact can be quite overwhelming. This is why a psychic reading during a retrograde can be highly beneficial—offering you clarity, helping you embrace the lessons, and enabling you to move forward with renewed faith and balance.

Mercury Retrograde: Discovering Lessons Amidst the Chaos

Mercury retrograde impacts us more intensely than most other celestial events. Typically, Mercury moves through a sign in a matter of weeks, but during retrograde, it stays longer, amplifying its effects. This is why life seems to fall apart—messages go awry, plans fall apart, emotions run high. Yet, within this turmoil lies a reminder to pause, reflect, and reset.

Upcoming Mercury Retrograde

Note the dates: the last Mercury retrograde of the year starts on November 9, 2025, and concludes on November 29, 2025.
