In theory mercury being slowed should give more power to it but that is theory. Its up to you if you continue this or not. Mercury is one of those things where the effects of the retrograde start slightly before it I sometimes but not all the time notice. So I wouldn't start this so close to retrograde. I can't give you a definitive answer I looked this up it said starting retrograde in 11 hours. I'd say your cutting it close with Mercury.
How do you notice?
When planets are direct or retrograde, their relative frequencies shift, which we receive here on earth.
When planets shift from direct motion to retrograde motion, they reach a point where they are „stationary“ for a short while, meaning, they move with the same observable speed relative to us, thus „freeze“ in the sky for a short period (if you ignore the spin of the earth).
During this time, they radiate their energies in the purest form.
How can a retrograde hit us while mercury is still moving in direct motion?
How did you notice it?
Is my information incorrect?
From a mere scientific viewpoint, based on the doppler effect, this view makes much sense.
