Yes, it will end. Just not before driving us a little crazier for a little longer.
While Mercury goes direct on the 31st, the second shadow phase lasts with Mercury in Cancer through August 15th. Thankfully during the shadow phase, the energy is not quite as intense, but the lingering possibility exists for misunderstandings and miscommunications.
Since we are in Leo Season and the New Moon is in Leo on August 1st, we will have no patience dealing with this shadow season and will likely be feeling much more upbeat and outgoing. Due to the fiery energy of Leo some of us might be feeling a little antsy and ready to move forward full force. There will be no stopping us! Hold up. Wait a minute. Moving forward is just fine, but since we are still feeling that shadow effect, make sure your are crossing your T's and dotting your I's. Pay attention to what is going on around you while you are charging forward. Maybe speed walking versus full out running. Mercury retrogrades teaches us things that we need to work on and during the two weeks of the shadow season, we are asked to start putting action behind those discoveries. Hang in there everyone. It's easier to work with the strange energy of Mercury Retrograde than to fight it, so put in the work for the lessons you learned and look forward to Mercury moving out of Cancer and into Leo on the 15th of August!
