Mercury Retrograde In Gemini On 26 May perhaps - Countdown To Next Round Of Communication Glitches Begins!

By Graham Flynn


Are you ready for one more round of miscommunication and technical glitches coming up soon? Mercury, the quicksilver trickster entire world of Communication, turns retrograde on 26 May 2008 inside sign of Gemini and is able to lead to much more havoc for the communication realm. Astrologically speaking, planets don't suddenly seem to switch gears and turn backwards from Earth's perspective. They remain in a stationary country of movement for about two weeks ahead of turning retrograde. Some planets are prone to turning retrograde at a high frequency and Mercury tops the list - it goes retrograde about 3 times a year, spending about three weeks in each retrograde period.

Mercury also remains stationary for about two weeks just before turning retrograde and we are currently in what is astrologically known as the 'shadow period' of a retrograde period (11 - 25 May well 2008). Due to the fact Retrograde periods are all for the planetary energies reversing gears, that may be what turns from the out too - our thought processes and intellectual capabilities become hindered to an extent as well. In Greek mythology, Mercury has been traditionally linked to Hermes, the Messenger of the Gods, who connects individuals by bringing news and relaying messages. In modern-day terms, the world Mercury related primarily to communication, studies/learning and even short-distance travel.

Gemini stands out as the third sign of the Zodiac belonging on the Air element and traditionally rules the fingers. Being a mutable Air sign, Gemini will be the symbol on the Twins and is a versatile, flexible, adaptable sign that functions primarily from the mental/intellectual realm. Those who have prominent Gemini influence in them need others to feed off that abundance of mental energy in them. Right after all, Gemini is an 'thinker' sign from the highest order that thrives within the social realm and bases its self-esteem primarily on harmonious interpersonal relations.

Putting these pieces of facts together, what occurs when Mercury turns retrograde in Gemini (at 21 degrees) on 26 May? First and foremost, expect major hiccups when it comes to communication of each type 1 can almost certainly think of - interpersonal, social, technical and even political! Mercury also rules more than electrical gadgets like computers, laptops, palmtops so do remember to back up your difficult drives before Mercury turns retrograde. Already, some persons are feelings the effects as Mercury Retrograde ways ever closer. Computer and technical glitches seem to be the norm in recent days and breakdown in other sorts of communication glimpse being the order on the day as well. Over a bright side, this lays the groundwork and foundation for all of us to be psychologically prepared when mercury Retrograde hits us at force impact in a few days' time.

So what are the elements to glimpse out for to be able to make sure a smoother ride through the sea of confusion that lies ahead of us? First, focus over a REs - re-think, re-evaluate, re-confirm, re-peat...re-everything! Do not make hasty decisions and don't start to conclusions either. You're likely to regret or transform your mind about them later. Secondly, do not schedule critical events during the retrograde period that has to do with communication, for example signing new deals, task contracts, mortgages for down payments etc. You happen to be most likely to transform your mind about them at a later date. Expect delays of all types, transportation, so remember to give allowance prior to you leave residence to arrive for your destination. Instead of initiating or starting new projects, eat time out to complete unfinished ones.

On a broader social level, this period is likely to usher in a period of miscommunication, specifically since it coincides of the Jupiter Retrograde in Capricorn period. There's a high possibility of muddled or contradictory info from governmental organizations, political parties and social institutions, adding on the level of confusion that's already clouding everyone's thought processes. The emergence of lies and deceit are normally more rampant so it would be wise not to take everything mentioned at face value.

Most importantly on an individual level, this Mercury Retrograde period ushers in a period of self-renewal for us, even if on a intellectual/mental level. Not merely are we are encouraged to think twice about what we say, we are also urged to clean out the mental garbage that is certainly been clogging our minds. It's an beneficial time to revisit the past memories and arrive to terms with them (if one hasn't already done so) and it is also a great time to reconnect with individuals from the past - lovers and buddies alike. All in all, this period heightens our sense of self-awareness and quickens the pace of self-healing so that we can clear out a lot more space in our lives. Consume the needed time-out to recharge yourself mentally, emotionally and spiritually, so which you gain additional inner strength and resilience to face what's to arrive as soon as Mercury once more turns direct in Gemini (12 degrees) on 19 June 2008.
