The first Mercury retrograde of 2026 is ending on March 20, marking the end of the cycle that began on Feb. 26. The next phase, "retroshade," will be in the zodiac sign Pisces, which may be more confusing and erratic than the actual retrograde. Some zodiac signs will have a better experience than others during this period, particularly those of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces whose derived angular houses are affected. This allows us to understand situations and relationships differently, leading to choices that could potentially rock our world. Observers should welcome this change with a welcoming arms and an open mind.
