It’s that time of year again – well actually this happens three times every year – Mercury is going retrograde. It isn’t as bad as many people make it out to be if you approach it as a necessary recharge point in your energy cycle. Yes, it can be frustrating – it took me an hour to get my laptop turned on today and it’s still glitchy – but there is a message for us to slow down. Take more time from May 10th through June 3rd to reflect, to become introspective, to remember and revise.
We are often rushing everywhere and doing everything all at once, in a hurry to just get each task completed, to get through the day just so we can start the next one. During this retrograde period use this energy of retrospect to see just how far you’ve come and appreciate that.
The retrograde will cover the first 5 degrees of Gemini and from 29 Taurus to 26 degrees of Taurus, ending on June 3rd. If you have planets of chart points in those degrees of in air or earth signs, fixed or mutable signs, you may feel it a little extra. Take your time and re-read before publishing. Back up your work, back up your computer, make a backup plan especially if you are traveling. Most of all be patient because there could be a very good reason things won’t go through or why you are delayed. Our next Mercury retrograde will be in September and the final one for 2022 is at the very end of December into January 2023.
