Mercury is now in RETROGRADE in its homesign of Gemini. This makes the influence of Mercury super strong. And it’s not going to stop anytime soon. Mercury’s orbit usually puts it in a sign for about 3 weeks. But Mercury will be in Gemini for 2 months.

Mercury in Gemini…..
It’s Mercury Retrograde. Not just any Mercury Rx, it’s Mercury Rx in its own sign of Gemini.

This is about wanting it both ways and refusing to make a decision. It is happening on many levels at once. We don’t want to decide between this or that. We want to have it both ways at once.

We don’t want to decide on a candidate, we want them both, or all. We don’t want to PAY for our information, yet we INSIST that it be delivered on-time and that it be brilliant. We don’t want to pay more for gas, but we want to drive large cars that get low mileage. We don’t want to decide what to do, we would rather rant and continue the way it’s always been. This is a cycle and that can continue as long as you don’t want to become conscious of what you’re doing. Maybe you get something out of your current situation that you LIKE. Why ruin a good thing? Or maybe something won’t be there you rely on, but you can blame whoever is most convenient. Which only helps when you want to remain stuck where you are and refuse to take any responsibility and make any changes.

When Mercury makes its Retrograde station, it will trine the Moon, Chiron, North Node, and almost Neptune. We can be very close to accessing important information from dreams, teachers, and intuitive knowing that will have a long-lasting positive effect on our lives and our ability to tune into our intuition. But some doubts can arise that seem to make that dream slip beyond your grasp….

Mercury is square Saturn. And Saturn is in Mercury’s other rulership sign of Virgo. So you can get lost in details and negative viewpoints. Maybe you need to slow down and go over something in detail so you can get clear and make a firm decision.

This is a time of re-thinking how we communicate. Saying unkind, insensitive things because you’re online can do real life harm. Acting on assumptions during this Mercury Retrograde can backfire. And not for the reasons you think!

During this Mercury Retrograde, the goal is to regain our happiness and love. At the midpoint of the Retrograde (June 7), Mercury and the Sun conjunct, and when they do, Venus will also be exactly conjunct the Sun and Mercury. Love and agreements are possible! But you may need to rethink something and revisit friends, relatives, and coworkers to put a big smile on your face:-)

Do the ONE thing that will change things NOW — appreciate the beauty that surrounds you. Even if it’s just for seconds, it will change your mood.
