"We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more." - Carl Gustav Jung

Mercury Retrograde

    The planet of communication and interaction, Mercury, has been in its rulership of Gemini since May 3rd and due to a retrograde period starting tonight, at 24 degrees and 41 minutes of Gemini, Mercury remains in this Mutable Air sign through July 10th, entering Cancer on the 11th of July. On June 22nd, Mercury will turn back to Direct motion at 16 degrees and 10 minutes, finally moving out of its shadow phase on July 7th, meaning it will leave the retrograde area that it covered 3 times between 16 and 24 degrees of Gemini.

   So, what does this mean for you? Mercury is concerned with planning, researching and organizing, as well as agreements and negotiations. This is the perfect time to get more information and become clearer on the important details of your endeavors. Don't be in a rush to finalize plans, unless you've already done all your homework and time is of the essence. Otherwise take your time considering your options and sharing your ideas with those closest to you in the planning phase. If you are traveling during this time, double check all the details before you go.

   After the past year it feels like we're ready to do quite a bit of socializing. In Massachusetts, things are opening up quickly with events and venues beginning to welcome people back. There's an air of excitement about all the possibilities and Mercury retrograde can have us confused about our options. This is not the time to jump into a new commitment without careful research. Think of a retrograde time as an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and your plans. Gemini has a tendency to jump from one thought to another, one plan or the other and it can become quite tiring. 

   I hope that you are enjoying the gradual return to sociability and seeing smiles again. Gemini rules the hands, arms, shoulders and lungs, so write or read more, hug longer and breathe deeper while keeping your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.
