Mercury Retrograde

Mercury will turn retrograde June 18 until July 21. The shadow period started June 2 and can sometimes be more challenging than the actual retrograde period. Retrograde shadow times are usually 10 days before and after the actual retrograde. Communications will be distorted and misunderstood. People will say one thing but mean another, be careful. Electronics will go haywire and just not work smoothly. This is the best time to complete projects already started, try not to start anything new if at all possible because they will just be frustratingly slow. Do not purchase any major products. As with all mercury retrogrades it is a time for redoing, renewing, readjusting and reorganizing. This particular retrograde, in the sign of Gemini, will bring many secrets to light that will surprise us and make us rethink our direction both personally and professionally. In other words, thinking of decisions involving should we stay or should we go or just change the dynamic. Venus will start slowing down getting ready to move in a direct motion after being retrograde and this will help bring calm and peace. Don't forget to breathe!
