So how are you doing under this Mercury retrograde? It may be feeling more intense or draining than "usual", primarily due to Mars also being retrograde.
During this Mercury Retrograde cycle (June 4 - 28), Mercury will be in Gemini. There are so many new ideas and the influx of information is so diverse it can border on distraction, making it harder than ever to make decisions and remain firm-- without worrying. Both sides are right at different times and for different reasons and thinking is so interesting that the mental game of figuring out all various ways you can reach your potential can be more enjoyable than actually doing anything. Mental stimulation can reawaken your love of learning, as everything becomes more interesting and exploration teaches you so much about yourself, the world, and all sorts of things.
With Mercury retrograde in Gemini, the same area of the chart that's being illuminated here in the Gemini cycle (New Moon was 5/22) is also being reworked by Mercury - which means that there's quite a bit of emphasis in this area of your chart.
Here's where both the New Moon & the Mercury Retrograde are impacting each of the signs:
read your Ascendant as well as Sun Sign
Aries - communication, daily schedule, siblings, information, cars
Taurus - resources, finances, income, talents
Gemini - Happy Birthday :) Your physical body, appearance, outlook
Cancer - hidden matters, selfless service, inner healing/clearing, retreat
Leo - goals/aspirations, friends, organizations, networking, causes
Virgo - career, life path/calling, mission, business,
Libra - higher mind/higher education, travel, beliefs, learn/teaching
Scorpio - partnership values, joint resources, investments, intimacy
Sagittarius - relationships (personal & business), counselling, other
people
Capricorn - work, health, service, job
Aquarius - creativity, play, children, romance
Pisces - home, family, real estate
With the Mercury retrograde, keep in mind that this area is being reviewed and some of you may be going back and forth over an issue, while others are just getting caught up and chilling out.....
In the Cosmic Order there is no such thing as a delay, and Mercury retrograde is just the Universe helping us catch up or catch a clue as the case may be....
And of course, the usual counsel of 'don't buy a car, start a job, make an important decision, sign a contract' etc until July if at all possible applies now and certainly any elective type physical procedures would better be postponed.
Keep in mind as Mercury Retrogrades this time, it is conjunct Jupiter (June 18) and trine Uranus (June17).
Usually, these transits are quick and don't have a major effect or change your life in permanent ways, but due to Mercury Retrograde, these aspects remain in effect for weeks instead a day, and this is where you can see the difference retrograde makes; the aspects last longer, so if you don't notice their influence at first, you will by the time they separate.
The aspects that Mercury makes now can promote your ability to sell yourself, market your ideas, and expand your business, but it can also create temporary difficulties. Opportunities to try something new, work with new people, and upgrade your information can be the start of something new and interesting, even if there are a few minor obstacles and it takes a few extra weeks.
Take the time to rethink and assure any anxieties that might come up and you could find out some information that radically changes your life for the better.
