Mercury in retrograde might be over — but here's why you're not in the clear just yet
Praise be. On August 11, 2025, Mercury, our planet of the mind and mouth and the mischief that lives between, ends its retrograde. When does Mercury retrograde end? Mercury will station direct at 3:29 am ET at 4 degrees of Leo. But it ain't time for rainbows and reckless abandon quite yet, folks. 3 After the planet stations direct, we'll continue to feel the ill effects of the slowdown for up to two weeks, a charming/jarring little epilogue known as the shadow period. Anna – After the planet stations direct, we'll continue to feel the fallout for up to two weeks, a charming/jarring little epilogue known as the shadow period. Or, if you're the whimsical type, Mercury 'retroshade.' The fastest-moving planet in our solar system, Mercury, goes retrograde three to four times a year, and when you factor in the shadow periods of the retrograde, we spend up to six months a year at the mercy of Mercury's slowdown. The planet won't clear its post-retrograde shadow until August 25th; until then, we're still under the influence of this cosmic melee. When is Mercury direct? Author and tarot reader Kerry Ward tells The Post, 'Things can still feel unsettled and choppy for up to two weeks after Mercury has turned direct. Don't rush straight back into booking big trips or moves, making deals, engaging in difficult dialogue or negotiations or upgrading your tech. Allow a bit of grace for issues to resolve themselves.' Blessedly, the post-retrograde shadow can bring clarity and finality to issues and circumstances we may have been battling during the retrograde cycle. What is Mercury retrograde? 3 Blessedly, the post-retrograde shadow can bring clarity and finality to issues and circumstances we may have been battling during the retrograde cycle. AIExplosion – 'This two-week post-retrograde period is a good time to reflect on your hardships and the response of your shadow side (no doubt activated by the frustrations you endured). It's definitely from our strained moments, impatient episodes, and setbacks that we see the repressed side of our personalities emerge. What did you (or your partner/family) notice about your behavior during this transit?' asks Ward. For post-retrograde reflection and emotional recalibration, Ward recommends her Unleash Your Shadow Self self-help workbook. Dear gods, will it get better? Luckily, there are some positive changes afoot and ahead in August, and they start today. 'On August 12, the Venus-Jupiter conjunction comes with a rare and welcome shift — a moment of clarity and confidence,' Kate Kettlekamp, resident astrologer at Gamblizard and founder of Kronos Astrology, told The Post. 'Later in the month, on August 23, the New Moon in Virgo invites a reset. Think habits, systems, and long-term goals. When Venus enters Leo on August 25, the energy shifts noticeably toward boldness in love, money, and creative choices. Risk is supported here, but only if it's backed by real intention.' When is the next Mercury retrograde? 3 The fastest-moving planet in our solar system, Mercury, goes retrograde three to four times a year. zwiebackesser – The final Mercury retrograde of the year goes down, or back as it were, in the sign of Sagittarius from November 9 to November 29. The pre-retrograde/retroshade period will extend from October 21st to December 16th. Look alive, folks!

Happy Birthday, Cancer! Here's what's in the tarot cards for your year ahead
Happy solar return to you, Cancer! In honor of the sun moving into the cardinal tides of your sign, author and tarot reader Kerry Ward has prepared a tarot spread for your year ahead, featuring her Good Karma Tarot Deck. As a Water sign ruled by the moody mirror magic of the Moon, Cancer is associated with intuition, the divine feminine, and the sacrament of care. Cancereans move through the world within their own kind of weather, easily able to cast shadows, sunshine, heavy fog, and sudden downpours on others. Keen emotional intelligence, coupled with borderline psychic ability, translates to supernatural sensitivity and ability to meet the needs and treat the ails of others. Cancers learn through feeling, have a near masochistic sense of nostalgia for the dead past, and can sometimes confuse care with control. Tarot spread for Cancer season Good Karma tarot deck photographed by @inlovewithcameras 'Cancers are empathetic, creative, and hard to forget. Their sensitivity to and compassion for others is intense, and they possess a unique blend of passiveness and extreme stubbornness, loveliness and terrible moodiness. If you know a Cancer person, do wish them a happy birthday (because they won't forget if you forget, trust me!),' said Ward. People of the crab, read on to learn more about what the upcoming year holds in store for your sign. To book a personalized birthday tarot reading with Ward, visit her offerings page here. What does the Universe want you to know this birthday? PAGE OF WANDS With the guiding light of the Page of Wands, Ward tells the crab contingent that this is their era of experimentation! 'Play, innovate, step outside your comfort zone, and see what (or who…) is out there! Adopt a fearless and light-hearted approach to your life with the intent of seeing, doing, and trying more! Expand your horizons; the world is waiting for you.' First step? THE FOOL 'Good Karma tarot deck photographed by @inlovewithcameras' As you welcome your solar return, Ward recommends drawing a clear line between the present moment and the past, making sure to step forward without looking back. 'Make a dramatic and surprising fresh start in an area of your life where you want new energy and opportunity to enter. This might involve technology, travel, Aquarius folk, a progressive and humanitarian role, a project that leads to an invention, or a side hustle that something you're innately good at!' Who are you becoming in the year ahead? THREE OF WANDS To aid and abet your rebirth, Ward encourages Cancers to be 'more spontaneous, more open-hearted, and more forgiving of yourself.' 'Do not be ashamed of your desires.' She cautions that playing it safe amounts to keeping yourself small. 'You want bigger! Bolder! Better! Altering your approach will fling open many new doors.' What is your purpose in the year ahead? FIVE OF SWORDS Ward imparts that the divine purpose of the Cancer contingent this year is repair as self care — and acceptance as accelerant. 'You are meant to heal and to feel more at home in your skin and at peace with any and all divisions and demises from the past year or so. People fall out, leave, change, inflict betrayals, and cruelty. You feel everything intensely and deeply, and it's hard to let go of old wounds as their familiarity offers a kind of comfort.' Ward assures that if you can process this pain with an eye on objectivity and forgiveness, it will pave the way to progress on every front.
