Mercury turned direct on March 15.
So yes, the retrograde is technically over. But if things still feel a little off, slow, or unclear… that is completely normal.
Think of it like this:
You were driving in reverse for a few weeks.
On March 15, you shifted the car back into drive.
But you did not instantly hit full speed.
You are easing your foot back onto the gas, reorienting yourself, and getting back on the right road.
That is the phase we are in right now.
March 15 — Station Direct
The car shifts into drive.
But there is still hesitation, recalibration, and a slower pace.
March 15 to April 7 — Shadow Period
You are moving forward, but you are driving over the same road you just reversed through.
You are noticing things you missed.
You are correcting your direction.
You are cleaning things up.
This is why you may notice:
Conversations are finally making sense
Delays are starting to resolve
Projects are picking back up
Old topics coming back, not to frustrate you, but to finish properly
Simple timeline:
March 15 onward, you are moving forward again
Late March to early April, things start to feel smoother
After April 7, you are fully back up to speed
So if things are only just starting to click into place now, you are not behind.
You are exactly where you should be.
You are not stuck.
You are recalibrating your direction.
What has started to move forward for you lately?
