We are officially in the throes of Gemini Szn! Happy birthday to all my fellow twins, this is our time! Gemini gets a bad rap for being two-faced when I would like to think of us as multidimensional, energetic, and youthful. We are the messengers of the zodiac, so we love sharing information. Sometimes we tend to have our foot in our mouth and can often flit from one thing to the next.
Always on the search for our other twin, we have the amazing ability to connect with people of all ages, from all walks of life. We know a bit about everything and are blessed with the gift of the gab. Being a social butterfly, you can count on a Gemini when you want to have a good time or someone to talk to about your latest find. In conjunction with all this lively and exciting energy that Gemini szn can bring, we are now entering mercury retrograde......IN GEMINI.
When this happens, the planet that is "in retrograde" deviates from its usual movement pattern
and appears to be moving backward.
During this time, things can get a little crazy. Mercury is the planet of communication,
and it governs the signs of Gemini and Virgo.
Gemini, in particular, rules communication, words, electronic devices,
automobiles, neighborhoods, and siblings.
When Mercury is in Rx the following events can occur:
💬 phone calls are dropped
💬 text messages are sent to the wrong person
💬 flights are delayed
💬 people are more accident-prone
💬 arguments over a miscommunication
💬 electronic devices start to act up
When people think of Mercury in retrograde, many tend to get a little frightened.
Although it can be an intense time, retrograde is here to help us understand things differently
or even better in some cases.
Because so many things can go wrong during this period, it is imperative to remember what
we should be doing during retrograde.
Retrogrades often point energy inwards and make things more internal rather than external.
Mercury in retrograde wants us to slow down and reflect because
things are not always what they seem.
We should be reframing our usual thinking patterns, reviewing old ideas of perceiving
or understanding, and reflecting on our communication.
We are being led to visit particular people and situations that were once in our lives.
This feeling is emphasized with Mercury being in the sign of Gemini since it is
one of the most social and
people-oriented astrological signs.
The likelihood that someone from your past will come back or revisit you is highly likely. It could be a friend from elementary school, your old neighbor or
a family member.
You might tap back into old projects with a new perspective on how to approach them.
A blast from the past is the theme for this retrograde.
To add more excitement to this retrograde period,
Venus, the planet of love and beauty, is also in Gemini!
Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, is in its home in Pisces.
Mars, the planet of action and power, is in the watery and sensitive sign of Cancer.
With Venus in Gemini, we are given the space to enjoy the fun of variety
and embrace our inner childlike enthusiasm.
This Venus placement enjoys talking about everything under the sun,
playing like no one is looking, and constantly starting something new.
The opportunity to try something new or build a stronger foundation on skills that
you have is now available.
Gemini loves people so talking on the phone for hours and spontaneous reunions
are possible.
Jupiter has a lot of fun in Pisces bringing luck and expansion to our Piscean qualities of fantasy, creativity, intuition, and areas of devotion. As Jupiter blows things up, be careful when it comes to taking on more than you can handle. Pisces is super psychic and creative, but it is also a sign of self-victimization, escapism, and blurred lines. On the light end, we might watch some great movies, become obsessed with new music, or create some beautiful art. On the darker side, we can be more prone to overdoing it by finding ways to escape.
These can include:
💫 drinking too much alcohol
💫 smoking too much weed
💫 overspending on impulse buys
💫 spending too much time isolated from society
💫 trapping ourselves in a self-contained prison
💫 lack of attention to personal hygiene
💫 becoming victims of our own circumstance
Jupiter in Pisces can make us blind to our boundlessness, so have fun tapping into a bit of fantasy but remember to balance fantasy with reality.
Jupiter is in Pisces in my third house, which is interesting because that is the house ruled by Gemini. I am a double Gemini, so there is a lot of luck for me right now when it comes to working with technology, discovering new hobbies, reconnecting with old friends, and I might even get a new way of communicating and traveling.
Lastly, with Mars in Cancer, we can expect a bit of emotional turmoil. Mars is the planet of action and power. It is its fall in the watery, sensitive, and overprotective sign of Cancer. When a sign is its 'fall' it has a difficult time expressing itself spontaneously. Cancer is sensitive, nurturing, and empathetic. Cancer is ruled by the moon and is prone to mood swings as the moon moves very quickly. They are also known for protecting their hearts and caring for the people they love. As Cancer is the sign of the crab when in her element she provides a safe and secure home. Always dependable and fiercely attached to their fellow crabs. When she is feeling insecure or unsafe she can make herself a weapon, using her shell as armor, perpetually on the defense, always ready for a fight.
Mars in Cancer brings more intensity to emotional sensitivity and an eagerness to fight. We are more prone to extreme moodiness and mood swings. It is very important to stay on top of your impulses and be more mindful when controlling your anger. This can be a bit of a struggle but with patience, it is possible as Cancer is also extremely calculated. The likelihood of fights or tension with other women is at its peak with this transit. All of this energy is giving us more opportunities to see what is worth the fight.
Mars in Cancer wants us to connect with our roots, and strengthen our connection with our tribe. Get back in touch with those you love, not only family but also friends! Text someone you love, call, and do a wellness check on someone you haven't heard from in a while, maybe do a small dinner party with delicious drinks and rich desserts. We should also be intentionally cleaning up our home as Cancer is the ultimate homebody and wants a home where they feel safe and secure. After spending almost a year and a half inside, we might be inclined to move things around or get rid of all the impulse buys from earlier last year.
There is so much social and creative energy in the cosmos! We should take advantage of the energy the universe is providing us and make the best of it. The sun is shining, the weather is warm and the possibilities are infinite. Make this summer one to truly remember!
