Asking questions is fine as long as you listen to the answers. This is a great time for reviewing information – it will be easier to join the dots once the retrograde is over. Speak slowly and listen harder.
Reflecting on past experiences can show you the way forwards now, too. You might need to think things through again before you make your final decision, but you’re happy to take as long as it takes.
Mercury retrograde in Gemini encourages us to slow down and connect the dots. The connections don’t come as quickly, nor the responses as glibly. The immediate reply won’t be the final answer; fine-tuning (possibly prompted by new information) will be needed to get you from Point A to Point B.
You’re likely to be surrounded by gossip, too, but this needn’t be a bad thing. It can be fun raking over the past with friends and updating each other on the latest news. Sharing what you know can make your world run more smoothly – so as long as you remember that some juicy facts are meant to be kept secret.
Retrograde Mercury in Gemini can cause communication mayhem. Somehow, words seem to take on a whole new meaning – it can feel like you and the person you’re talking to are actually speaking different languages (when you’re not!). And you might get the wrong end of the stick when someone tells you something. It’s worth checking and rechecking anything you’re told. Other people tend to be more critical than usual – but here’s a top tip: you probably don’t need to point out absolutely everything that’s wrong.
There can be last-minute cancellations, missed and/or garbled messages, and possible car or computer issues. Save your money for the time being and don’t go shopping for electronic items if you can avoid it. Mercury retrograde in Gemini is like a double dose, since Gemini is one of Mercury’s home signs.
Travel plans are also prone to delays or complications and major moves can be a source of regret. Boring as it might sound, it’s best to stay put as much as possible. Alternatively, you could see it as ‘meant to be’ if your plans are thrown into chaos and change.
This retrograde Mercury sometimes brings out scammers and con artists so, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. If someone promises you the Moon, make sure it’s actually their Moon before you strike a deal.
