Mercury retrograde occurs three or four times a year (Image: Getty)
Many of us may have felt off over the past few weeks and attributed it to Mercury being in retrograde, which happens three or four times a year. However, if you thought you were in the clear, think again, as a psychic advisor has revealed that we are now in the post-retrograde shadow – which means more to deal with.
Mercury retrograde ends on April 7th, but the post-retrograde shadow will last until April 26. Nataliia Myronova from the Nebula spiritual guidance platform, said this is the “cosmic equivalent of trying to fix something after the damage has already been done”. During this period, Mercury moves from 26°49′ Pisces to 9°35′ Aries – meaning that while it is not retrograde, it is also not fully stable. But what does this mean for each star sign?

Aries
Myronova said Aries will need to “reassess past decisions” during this period, particularly impulsive ones. Communication could be fragile, so you will need to take extra care not to turn minor disagreements into a “full-scale war”.
She said: “It’s time to finish that thing you abandoned halfway through or a relationship in which you didn’t say goodbye properly. But beware, because old problems will reappear, giving you a chance to deal with them for good this time.”
However, it’s not all negative and you will get a second chance to correct mistakes, according to the psychic advisor.
Taurus
“What you know best will be put to the test. We are talking about financial security. Do not rush to spend all your savings on a reckless purchase,” Myronova explained. “Now is not the time for impulsive investments.”
Someone from your past may want to make their way back into your life, but you should think twice before saying yes as this is a “time for completion, not starting something new”.
Gemini
Mercury is your ruling planet, so periods like these can really hit you hard. This means you should prepare for misunderstandings and delays as well as “a sudden desire to crawl under a blanket and avoid human interaction”.
“Old work projects may resurface. Time to wrap up those unfinished assignments. Be careful with contracts and read the fine print twice. Then once more,” Myronova advised.
Cancer
During this period people, conversations, and past situations will make an unexpected comeback. This is a time to address unresolved drama in family matters and reevaluate friendships and romances. “However, revisiting past wounds could be triggering—self-care is a must, so remember about mental health check-in,” the expert said.
Leo
Leos should make sure to handle money matters with care during this period, reviewing finances before making any bold moves. Your social life will also be impacted and will take a dive into the past as you will see some old familiar faces. Expect a reunion with someone from your past, Myronova said.
“You may feel an itch for change regarding your career crossroads. Don’t rush into anything. It’s time to strategize.”
Virgo
You’re going to feel this period deeply as a Mercury-ruled sign – and it will be especially impactful in your work and communication. You should expect delays and miscommunications, but while conversations may feel confusing, you shouldn’t expect the worst.
Myronova said: “Rushed conclusions may harm relationships with important people in your life.”
Libra
Trust issues, past partners reappearing, and career doubts are “all on the menu” for you this period, resulting in a confusing love life. Relationships will be shaky and if someone from your past reappears, “proceed with caution”, Myronova warned.
She added: “If your job feels off, you might start rethinking your professional path. Don’t let your financial impulsivity win. No sudden splurges on things you’ll regret later.”
Scorpio
Scorpios should double-check bank statements because “financial changes are coming” so it is best to avoid unnecessary expenses and risky investments.
“Old conflicts are resurfacing. If you’ve been suppressing anger, Mercury is about to stir the pot. Better use this period for personal growth instead of revenge plotting,” the psychic advisor warned.
Sagittarius
This period might lead to feelings of nostalgia and past relationships, travel plans, and abandoned ideas will all come knocking.
Myronova said: “If one of your love stories ended abruptly, expect closure. Be extra clear with your words, because some misunderstandings may arise otherwise. This is a great time for internal reflection and adjusting your plans.”
Capricorn
During this period old career plans will return, but make sure to finish what you started first. You should also check legal matters carefully and read contracts at least twice, Myronova said.
“Stick to what works. This isn’t the time for sudden changes—slow and steady wins. Use this time to improve existing projects and avoid trying to make drastic changes.”
Aquarius
You may feel like your projects or career are stuck in quicksand during this period, but it’s important to remember that it is only temporary.
The expert said: “Your creative projects need tweaking. This is a time to refine, not launch. In your career matters, you may expect some delays, but not disasters. Hang in there—progress will come. Be careful with money. Scams and mistakes in transactions could be lurking.”
Pisces
Mercury is still hanging out in Pisces for a bit, which means you are getting a “double dose of introspection”. Past emotions will resurface so you shouldn’t be surprised if old wounds open up for a “final healing moment”.
“Your intuition is on fire. Listen to it, because the universe is trying to tell you something. If you’ve been creatively blocked, this is the time to get back into the flow,” Myronova said.
