Turns Retrograde at 13 degrees Gemini on May 18th – June 11th

Turns Direct on June 11th at 4 degrees Gemini

Mercury squares Neptune 3 times (9 degrees Gemini to Pisces) during it’s retrograde suggesting a dissolving effect (confusion – thinking you have the facts/data/assumptions correct when they are yet to be fully formed) on your opinions, plans, and perception of children, siblings and friendships.

Dates to be extra mindful of decisions/discussions are May 9th, May 29th and June 23rd while simultaneously understanding that something is in the forming/molding/gestation stage as Mercury is also positively contacting the North Node in Libra (the inner relationship/integrating your duality of thinking one thing and doing another in relationships). The future is taking shape but patience is a virtue…

The number 4 is also prominent in this retrograde process (shadow begins at 4 degrees Gemini and the actual retrograde at 13 degrees (1+3=4). Four energy is about practicality, organization, building resources and seeking knowledge. You are gaining expertise in the areas mentioned below. Pay attention to your process and anticipate solid perspectives and plans to emerge by the end of June.

For you especially please work with the “time conservative” principle. Being time conservative means that you build an extra 1/3 of “time” into what is usually a rout and routine task.
