For everyone that has been going through a hard time this past month (starting from July 7th to be exact) and absolutely everything has been going wrong, you should mark down August 1st as a national holiday. August 1st marks the day Mercury is out of retrograde for the Cancer sign! Personally, this is every reason to celebrate because this last month has been a rollercoaster.

For those of you who are in the dark about Mercury Retrograde, this marks a time in the cosmic calendar where Mercury appears to be moving backwards in its orbit. Now Mercury is deemed as the ruling planet of communication so with the ruling planet of communication orbiting backwards, communication itself is going to be, in simple terms, a wild ride. For those who follow their astrological star alignments, this is the wrong time to be making big decisions, traveling, or even just confronting people about problems.

Mercury Retrograde usually lasts about a month as this past one started on July 7th and will end on August 1st. The next retrograde takes place in Scorpio's sign, taking place from October 31st to November 20th but, this isn't the time to think about that. Right now, let's just celebrate the end of this one with 26 dogs absolutely adorable dog pictures, one for each day Mercury might have royally screwed us over.
