Mercury Retrograde in 2024: Dates and How They May Affect You
Prepare for Three Retrogrades in 2024
Mark your calendars, as Mercury will go retrograde three times in 2024: from April 1 to April 25, from August 4 to August 28, and from November 25 to December 15. These periods are believed to have a significant impact on our communication, technology, and decision-making abilities.
Pre-Shadow Period and Shadow Period
The first Mercury Retrograde of 2024 will begin with a Pre-Shadow period in Aries on March 19 at 3:02 AM Universal Time (10:02 PM EST). This period is when the planet slows down and appears to move backward in the sky. During the Retrograde period, from April 1 to April 25, Mercury will move through Aries and Pisces.
Following the Retrograde, there is a Shadow Period, which begins when Mercury re-enters Aries on April 25. This period lasts until Mercury fully exits the Shadow Period on May 17. During this time, the effects of the Retrograde may still be felt.
Plan Accordingly with Mercury Retrograde Dates
To minimize the potential impact of Mercury Retrograde, it's wise to plan ahead. Consider rescheduling important meetings, signing contracts, or making major purchases during these periods. Be cautious in your communication, double-check emails and documents, and back up your data regularly to avoid any technological mishaps.
