Gemini Season - Mercury Retrograde in Gemini - May 29th, 2021

You’ve heard it out there when communications get mixed up - “It’s gotta be Mercury Retrograde.”  So what is Mercury Retrograde and how can it affect us?

Mercury Retrograde is when the planet of communications, commerce, mechanics and travel starts slowing down and seems to move backwards (though no planet actually moves backwards in the sky.)   Mercury isn’t at full power during this time so what it rules will not be running as smoothly as it usually does.  Emails may get lost or misconstrued, travel may take a little longer, phones may lose texts and your car may not be working as well as it usually does.

Mercury Retrograde in Gemini is focused on how you write, research, communicate with others and socialize.  Give yourself extra time when going somewhere, double check any important presentations or  the class or learning might be full when you try to get in. It’s important to be flexible during Mercury Retro.  Maybe you’ll be going to another restaurant than you planned, for example.

Also, reflect  on how you’re connecting to others - would you like to connect differently to friends and family?  Take this time to consider how you express yourself.

The last time Mercury Retrograde was in Gemini was May 2015.  If you can remember that time, you might have a similar experience or situation over the next three weeks.  But, you have different knowledge now and can handle it in different ways if it makes sense.

Bottom line?  Mercury goes Retrograde three to four times a year so you move through this energy often.  Take your time, pay attention to details and double check important information and you’ll do just fine through June 22nd when Mercury moves direct again.
