What is Mercury Retrograde?
Retrograde simply means that a planet is moving so slowly that it's like it's moving backwards. Because the pace is so slow you can feel the energy more intensely and the typical behavior of the planet may be a bit off. It's a time to Re.. reflect, redo, restart, refocus, etc.
Mercury - the planet of communication, thoughts, ideas, what we want, creativity, technology. It's normally quick moving energy. Rules the signs of Virgo and Gemini so it fluctuates from feminine and masculine energy depending on where it's placed. With it retrograde in Gemini it's a time to do less. Think less.
Retrograde is from May 29 - June 22, shadow period continues into July though
It is impacting the collective United States 7th house. Mercury is trine Saturn and will be squaring Neptune and sextile Chiron
What do you plan to do to make the most of this energy as opposed to feeling controlled by it?
