MERCURY Turns Retrograde on Monday the 26th until June 19, 2008!
And other planets are moving retrograde at the same time. Pluto began to go retrograde on April 2 of this year and Jupiter began to retrograde on May 9.
Read on to learn more . . .
This week begins with Mercury stationing at 22° of Gemini and beginning its backward motion in our sky until June 19th when it begins to move forward again. On the same day this week Neptune begins to move retrograde at 24° Aquarius.
All of this means that you may seek more solitude as both your conscious and unconscious minds are out of balance and your life requires some quiet time and meditation. Delays begin to occur forcing us to take a break and avoid being too serious. You may begin to feel a little edge and grumpy for a while, but eventually the future begins to look good and prospects improve.
You can expect the normal Mercury Retrograde activity: mail will be late, cars won’t start, computers will have a mind of their own and friends and colleagues will cancel appointments or just not show. And, some times our well-intentioned actions will be misunderstood. Knowing this will help you to see what you might not have seen otherwise. So, enjoy the quiet time and the awareness you will receive from this planetary activity.
ARIES: Mercury beginning to go retrograde on the 26th brings general delays and equipment malfunctions. If you carefully verify information, reservations and schedules you will keep these to a minimum. You also may be visited by a close relative, or talk to close friends who may shed light on issues that have puzzled you for years.
TAURUS: Aside from personal pleasure, you are entering a yearly financial peak this week. Though Mercury is turning Retrograde on Monday, you are still going to have opportunities to increase your cash flow. Just take some time the next few weeks to look at the fine-print and do research and take better care of how you communicate.
GEMINI: Job-seekers need more patience now so that you can research job opportunities more carefully – ask questions and read the fine print on all contracts. That dream job might not be all that it sounds like. This is also a good time to review your current state of health and seeing where you can make improvements.
CANCER: By now you have achieved many career goals. So, it is time to reorganize and pull back from doing too many outside projects and fully focus on one important enterprise. The good news is that your love life is improving. You are gaining more clarity and social confidence and ready to step out on the town.
LEO: While dear ‘ole Mercury is going retrograde you will have a tendency to worry needlessly about everything that comes your way. You and close friends could be at odds when words are misinterpreted. But, you will be supercharged with energy and display some talent for a new venture that is presenting itself to you. Do it!!
VIRGO: In many ways you are in a fortunate cycle as Jupiter travels through your house of Luck!! Though Mercury is retrograde, this is the time to make plans and map out a strategy for your future. If you proceed decisively with your game plan, stellar conditions show you are likely to be a winner when Mercury turns direct on June 19th.
LIBRA: Career is very important this week and great progress is being made toward creating a new life for you. This week links you to people who believe in your talents as you are given an opportunity to expand your creative talents. Among the promises of this cycle is receiving what is due you. J Enjoy.
SCORPIO: You will feel free and more fulfilled by focusing on a personal dream involving family life, a home improvement or a real estate purchase. You will need to be a realist about finances and how this change will impact others. This week will be ideal to take the next steps toward a goal that you have held back on.
SAGITTARIUS: A love bond may be unsettled with you feeling misunderstood or troubled over a recent event. The timing is excellent to sort out what is causing this tension. Getting to the bottom of the conflict will enable you to discuss it calmly if a potential conflict arises this week when Mercury turns retrograde on Monday.
CAPRICORN: If is often said of you, dear Capricorn, that you know you are getting ahead when you are under fire. And just when you know you are gliding through a negotiation without a hitch, a rival enters the scene and impedes the progress. This is the time to count to ten (remember Mercury) and know that all will work in your favor.
AQUARIUS: Romantically you may feel that you are tied to someone to whom you have an obligation. But, lately the association has been troubled. An all-to-familiar pattern may be emerging. Venus patterns shows you two can set your sites on a plan to improve your future, and in the process your bond will strengthen. J
PISCES: A partner or ally is paying attention to your actions this week. This person will respect your courage if you are confident in your decisions. You may be tempted to sit on the sidelines and let others take charge, but try to resist. You have learned recently that taking the easy way is often the hardest way – and the most rewarding.
