Reflection: Mercury Retrograde in Gemini
Mercury Retrograde in Gemini began on May 29 at 6:34 am EDT/
3:34 pm PDT. One of the more challenging of the retrogrades. With Gemini in Mercury,
the planet of its Rulership or the planet that creates its energy, it increases
the effects of that planet and its transit. As it is travels in retrograde
motion, it enhances contradictory aspects of Gemini, bringing a strength and intensity
will keep you on your toes. The planet goes direct in Gemini (16º 08') on June
22 6:00 pm EDT/3:00 pm PDT, spending the whole of the transit in Gemini
The planet Mercury, in astrology, governs thought,
communications, ideas, short term travel and concepts. It represents the way we
think, communicate and share our ideas. It embodies how we communicate our
thinking.
The sign Gemini represents the duality of conscious, the
twin aspects of concept and thought. While Gemini can be concise, organized and
thoughtful, it can also be chaotic, capricious and frivolous.
Mercury Retrograde in Gemini may require you to, wherever
you have Gemini in your Natal chart, reevaluate some past concern with an eye
towards its repair or renewal. While the remedy of at be uncomfortable, the
resolution may offer healing and course correction. Overspeculation is
something you’ll need to watch for in this transit. Sorting things out, getting
to the point and keeping things simple may be the best way to navigate this transit.
This review will require clarity, honesty and self-awareness.
While retrogrades provide important solutions, you shouldn’t
seek to initiate them at this time. The retrograde urges the preliminary that
will allow you to apply those answers after the transit ends on June 22. Avoid
starting new activities and direct actions towards current and previous ones.
Honor your ideals and strive for positive critique and reality checks.
Gemini, some expectation or outcome needs
reexamination. The rush ideas to come maybe far more valuable to conclusion you’ve
already reached. that prove most constructive to your life.
Sagittarius, don’t operate off of old assumptions. Being
open to the unexpected offers new discoveries and new places to play.
Pisces & Virgo, this time may seem
daunting, even downright bafflingly, but this retrograde should offer
perspective and chances for growth and personal development
Because it is the reversal of the planet that governs
communication, thoughts and planning, it can create challenges and difficulties
in those areas. Communications, spoken, written and recorded (text, email.
voice messages, etc) can become confused, misunderstood or misinterpreted. To
avoid these complications, work towards communicating simply with a measure of
repetition. Retrogrades can confound
written contracts, electronic gadgets and even our nervous systems. At this time,
you should expect challenges regarding travel and short trips, so allow for
extra time and delays. Creative projects, especially performance and visual
art, generally go well at this time as do spiritual and metaphysical practices.
Mercury Retrograde in Gemini’s purpose is to provide a
second chance to review our actions and determine if they are true to our ideas
and philosophies. As you re-examine past concerns, strive to be true, to your
innermost self.
