MERCURY RETROGRADES IN GEMINI:
On Saturday May 29th at 6:34 P.M. EDT until June 22nd at 6:00 P.M. EDT our favorite mischief maker will be doing its best to disrupt our plans. I don’t look at Rx Mercury as evil or purposely upsetting things. It isn’t about causing problems so much as ensuring that we keep an open mind and not assume that things will work out a certain way. Because this is occurring in Gemini, one of the signs Mercury rules, it will have a greater effect than many retrograde periods. Most issues regarding communication and travel will have to be carefully examined with extra preparation to ensure a successful result.
Gemini has much to do with relationships and the way that we communicate with each other. While Mercury is running backwards it would be smart to try and restrain your desire for quick answers. This transit often implies a time when we should be more patient and allow for things to unwind in their own time. The worst thing you can do under Rx Mercury is to rush to judgment. You may not be hearing all of the information necessary to come to a successful conclusion and you may regret acting out without all the knowledge you need. This can be a very positive and productive time and if you can stay calm you will see that things have a way of working out. Yes, you may have problems with the car, cell phone, etc. Papers, emails and other forms of communication may get lost or sent to spam, and there will probably be a few distracting problems. But in the long run there is a purpose to all that occurs. And you may not see that purpose until after the fact. I know of many instances when an event or decision was postponed during Rx Mercury and in the end I was truly grateful for the delay. It allowed me to see things in a different light and the results proved much more positive than they would have otherwise. So don’t assume anything. Keep your eyes and ears open and seek the truth. It’s out there and you will find it.
