The Long Trek of Mercury in Gemini

The start of Mercury in Gemini is on April 30th.

Enters Retrograde Shadow (starts slowing) on May 4th at 4 degrees Gemini.

Turns Retrograde at 13 degrees Gemini on May 18th – June 11th

Turns Direct on June 11th at 4 degrees Gemini

Clears Retrograde Shadow on June 27th (passes 13 degree Gemini)

Mercury squares Neptune 3 times (9 degrees Gemini to Pisces) during it’s retrograde suggesting a dissolving effect (confusion – thinking you have the facts/data/assumptions correct when they are yet to be fully formed) on your opinions, plans, and perception of children, siblings and friendships.

Dates to be extra mindful of decisions/discussions are May 9th, May 29th and June 23rd while simultaneously understanding that something is in the forming/molding/gestation stage as Mercury is also positively contacting the North Node in Libra (the inner relationship/integrating your duality of thinking one thing and doing another in relationships). The future is taking shape but patience is a virtue…
