Astro Alert! Mercury Retrograde in Gemini Horoscopes


It's that time again! From May 18 until June 11, 2015, Mercury, the planet of communication, commerce, and transportation, will be retrograde.

Mercury Retrograde in Gemini

This time Mercury will retrograde in one of the sign it rules: chatty, social Gemini. As a result, it's possible that the usual Mercury Retrograde mishaps might become more of a nuisance!


In particular, if you have anything going on communication-wise that involves writing, speaking, teaching, or learning, this might be a time when you're better off reviewing your work and double-checking your sources even more than usual. Remember that after Mercury turns direct, whatever communications-related project you have going on will likely shine due to the work you put into it now.

Since Mercury and Gemini are also connected to siblings and your neighborhood, watch out for misunderstandings between you and a brother or sister or neighbor. Do your best to avoid making a vital decision about any situation connected to you and any of these people in your life.

There might be some type of frustrating situation that happens in your neighborhood over the next few weeks and if so, you'll need to be patient. Roadwork or some other situation that makes commuting in your area more frustrating is possible. Allow extra time if you drive; take the bus or train to work or school.

And lastly, this won't be a good time to purchase a new car. All major purchases are best put off until after Mercury is direct (especially anything electronic), but car repairs or issues might be an extra nuisance now.

Hang in there! Read your sign's Mercury Retrograde Horoscope below to learn how you can maximize the benefits of this phase while minimizing the frustrations...

Aries Horoscope 

(Mar 21 - Apr 19)

Since Mercury will retrograde in your 3rd House of Communication, Transportation, Short Distance Travel and Siblings, ALL of the general Mercury Retrograde advice stated in the overview will apply to you tenfold. Do your best to diffuse any dicey situation between you and a sibling. Assume that one of you is not armed with the correct information and perspective, and remember that your relationship is more important than whatever issue the two of you can't agree on is about. If you have a short trip planned, make sure your car is serviced properly beforehand. You won't enjoy a road trip with car trouble.

Taurus Horoscope 

(Apr 20 - May 20)

With Mercury traveling retrograde in your 2nd House of Income and Talents, your mind will certainly be on money. The problem is, you may also be more confused than usual about a financial matter. Perhaps you'll have a choice to make about which one of your revenue streams to pay extra attention to and put a greater focus on. You might wonder if you'll need to give up one way you earn money for another. Allocating your time and carefully evaluating where your best return is will be called for.

Gemini Horoscope 

(May 21 - Jun 20)

You're ruled by Mercury and as a result, you're typically more sensitive to his retrograde times than others. This one however, might prove to be a doozy! That's because Mercury will retrograde in your sign, and as a result whatever you say can and will be held against you. Try your very best to take this potential with a grain of salt and a good sense of humor. Expect to feel misunderstood or misrepresented, and do your best to come across as honestly as possible in conversations. If you can't make up your mind about a situation, be honest about that fact. It's better than confusing someone you care about by flip-flopping around the issue.

Cancer Horoscope 

(June 21 - Jul 22)

If you're a writer or in the communication arts, your imagination might require extra time alone in order to create your best work during Mercury Retrograde. Allow yourself plenty of time in solitude to jot down ideas, brainstorm, or to rework an important draft. You might realize that you're flow of thoughts or ideas are blocked due to something bothering you from your past. This can be a memory, anxiety, or unresolved situation that causes you significant distress. If so, now is the time to revisit that time and work through whatever you need to.

Leo Horoscope 

(Jul 23 - Aug 22)

A miscommunication between you and a friend is possible during this Mercury Retrograde phase, but if this happens it'll likely trigger you to reconsider the bigger picture of your social life. Are you still compatible with the people inside your circle? Or are you veering off into a different direction -- one that requires a different network of acquaintances? Be honest with yourself and realize that you don't have to completely disconnect from one set of friends in order to explore new interests. It's a matter of reprioritizing your social time.

Virgo Horoscope 

(Aug 23 - Sep 22)

Career will be your focus this Mercury Retrograde, since Mercury will backtrack through your 10th House of Profession over the next few weeks. You might feel like you and your boss or another VIP are crossing signals a bit too often. He or she might not understand everything you're trying to convey in the way you hope. Don't assume that this person is downplaying your ideas or doesn't value them. It might be a matter of how you're presenting information. What about a different approach? This is the time to consider how being more open to change in communication can actually be the catalyst that'll take you to the next level professionally.

Libra Horoscope 

(Sept 23 - Oct 22)

If you're in school studying for an advanced degree, license, or certification, it's possible that your brain will literally hurt over the next few weeks as you try to assimilate some difficult material. Consider hiring a tutor or asking your professor for extra time privately in order to review what you don't understand. If you are willing to put in the extra time to master whatever it is you're studying, then you can be sure you'll ace your upcoming exam. Also, if you plan on traveling during this time allow extra time for potential delays. Double-check to ensure you've packed all important items and documentation.

Scorpio Horoscope 

(Oct 23 - Nov 21)

There might be some frustrating financial paperwork to go through or a delay in processing paperwork you're counting on for a loan, line of credit, or mortgage this Mercury Retrograde. Do your best to remain patient if you find yourself mired in this type of red tape over the next few weeks. Trust that it will get resolved and that any delay may actually work out to be in your best interests. This gives you time to research other options, better interest rates, or to find a missing document that you're looking for. Avoid new investments during this time.

Sagittarius Horoscope 

(Nov 22 - Dec 21)

You and your partner might begin to feel as if you're each on a different planet when you try to reach an agreement about an important matter. Mercury will retrograde through your 7th House of Relationships during the next few weeks, calling attention to any weak links in your ability to speak and listen to one another. Collaboration is possible, but only if you each understand what the other person wants and needs. You might think it's one thing, but unless you get clarification from your mate, you might be disappointed to realize it's something else entirely
.

Capricorn Horoscope 

(Dec 22 - Jan 19)

With Mercury moving retrograde through your 6th House of Work and Daily Routine, you may find that more of your assignments come back to you from your supervisor with requests for revision. Be patient if this happens and see it as an opportunity to improve your efficiency and overall productivity. Paperwork might seem endless during this time but again, this is your chance to prove just how organized you can be. If there's any miscommunication between you and a coworker try to resolve it as best you see fit. There might be a difference of opinion on how to approach a major project. In this case remind yourself that two minds are better than one.

Aquarius Horoscope 

(Jan 20 - Feb 18)

If you notice that you're thinking more and more about an ex-lover, the temptation to contact him or her might be strong during this time. If you're connected on social media or live in the same neighborhood, don't be surprised if your paths cross over the next few weeks. Sure, sparks may fly, but before you jump back into a relationship that wasn't right the first time around, take time to remember what went wrong in the first place. Unless there has been a dramatic change, a second chance might only lead to further disappointment.

Pisces Horoscope 

(Feb 19 - Mar 20)

Relatives you haven't heard from might come out of the woodwork over the next few weeks thanks to Mercury moving retrograde through your 4th House of Home and Family. You may enjoy rekindling the connection between yourself and these family members. In fact, it'll be a great time to organize a family reunion or other gathering. You might also notice a stronger interest in looking back to your families past. Studying your roots or genealogy will be quite rewarding during this time. You may find out information that you never knew about before!
