On June 29, Mercury turns retrograde in Cancer. We can get off to a bad start with this one. That’s because Mars has just hit Mercury-ruled Gemini to join Uranus.
One energy means great aspiration for the future. The other one seeks solace at home with his family. There is also a Cardinal T-square on the same day. It’s enough to really drive people.
This energy conflict persists for more than a week. It is worn by people. Mars will eventually outgrow Uranus, but by then Mercury will square Saturn in Aries. ::insert swear word here::
Mercury turns direct on July 23rd, but it’s also pretty ugly. At that time, Mercury will square Saturn. Mars in Gemini, ruled by Mercury, squares Venus in Virgo, ruled by Mercury. Owners!
Expect disturbing delays in the area of life related to the house Mercury transits. You can also expect to feel it (Cancer). Emotional people, beware!
Sorry to be so negative, but I call them as I see them. This is a good example of how Mercury retrograde periods are not created equal. Gemini, Virgo and Cancer, my heart goes out to you.
How does Mercury retrograde affect you?
