Mercury is a fast-moving planet and hates it when it's moving slowly. The storm period of Mercury retrograde is when Mercury is moving at its slowest, less than 40 minutes per day. Most people don't feel the effects of Mercury retrograde until it enters the storm period though. The shadow period starts when Mercury first hits the point in the Zodiac it will turn direct at, and ends when it last hits the point in the Zodiac it will turn retrograde at. With Mercury retrograde, we experience a shadow and a storm. When a planet retrogrades, what that planet rules tends to be thrown off, along with what the sign it's retrograding in rules.
