Mercury Retrograde June 7- July 1 2014
Mercury goes retrograde in Cancer June 7-17, this is an excellent time for getting in touch with everything that nurtures us and also feeds our souls. Now is the time to explore more intimate and sympathetic nature, these affect our decisions. Some thoughts of the past can be especially strong during this time.
Mercury goes retrograde in Gemini June 17-July 1, we look at past decisions and ideas from a brand new enlightened perspective.
Retrograde Mercury is aligned with the Sun the 19th late in Gemini, bringing illumination to thoughts. It’s the best time for processing recent events, ideas and for beginning to look at problems or issues from a new perspective and with a new understanding.
Mercury Retrograde in Cancer
It dominates emotions and logical thinking. Centered on nurturing emotional energy, the family, our home, the negative aspects, people can show their prejudices and rude behavior, not for the good. Our thinking can lack objectivity and interactions could lack understanding also consideration. On the other hand, we get overly sensitive and can take everything personally.
Those born under the Cancer and Gemini sun Signs will feel the effects a little stronger than others, it is strongly advised to be aware of this retrograde and not start anything new, from a discussion to signing a business agreement, it’s best to wait until the shadow is clear (mid July).
Relationships, Couples and family relationships generally will suffer the most in this Mercury Retrograde and we certainly cannot expect better with this Mercury Retrograde in the family sign Cancer.
If however, we are prepared and aware of truthful communication without hurting someone else’s feelings, we can take advantage of absorbing positivity, rather than emotional drama. We also can manage the whole downside of the usual one to one communication issues with Mercury Retrograde.
No one actually escapes the discomfort of any Mercury Retrograde, wherever even if we have Gemini, or Virgo in our charts, we will experience some effects of the Mercury Retrograde cycle, it could be misunderstandings or the manner when others are affected.
Mercury turns to Gemini on the 17th and is ruled by mercury. Those with a Gemini or Virgo Sun. Those with a Gemini Sun, Moon or rising will most likely, be at the uncomfortable position of having to re think where they are most comfortable. Now, on the other hand, for the Gemini that are aware of Mercury Retrograde, this is the opportunity to clarify all communications being precise; there is no room for any misunderstanding.
WHAT EXACTLY DOES MERCURY IN RETROGRADE MEAN?
It’s when all the planets in our Solar System travel around the Sun in a regular round orbits. They never stop, back up or go the other way. But from looking at it, as perspective on Earth, it looks like they do.
Imagine that you are driving down through the middle of a circular multi lane highway, orbiting a central point and your car is Earth, the other cars on the highway are traveling in different lanes, at different speeds . But those cars don’t ever stop or back up and neither does yours. At times you will pass one and that car can appear to slow down, go backwards past you, now our perspective on Earth, looking at those other planets, they will sometimes appear to slow down and then turn backwards for a little while and then they slow down again, going forward, and then pick up speed again. That is what you call “retrograde in motion.”
WHY DOES EVERYONE MAKE MERCURY RETROGRADE A BIG DEAL?
Mercury rules everything associated in communications, business trips and all commerce. When Mercury goes into retrograde, these types of things have a higher than average tendency to become chaotic. All phone calls get dropped more often, new business agreements made during that time are likely to backfire and the line ups at airport security, Customer Service desks will to be more annoying, any type of new business decisions should be made after the retrograde.
Mercury rules all new and important business, it goes through the retrograde three to four times every year, it gets a lot of attention.
WHEN IS THIS HAPPENING NEXT?
This time: from Saturday June 7 2014 until Tuesday July 1 2014.
WHAT CAN I DO TO STOP THIS?
Nothing. Every Astrologer spends a lot of time talking about astrology, it isn’t fatalistic and they do have a point. There are advantages every time Mercury goes into retrograde.
if you do try something new you will feel that it is a struggle to get things done and have a very hard time completing any type of project or task, you can stop and wait until it is over or stick with it, just be advised that it may feel like the process is much more stressful and better to wait until after the retrograde is over.
WILL IT AFFECT ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS?
When people hear Mercury turning into the retrograde, everyone wants to run and hide until the retrograde is over. So why even think about romantic relationships? Do they go haywire too? Love, just like everything else is also affected by the astrological transits. Mercury retrograde is no exception. Yes the same confusion and miss-communication problems you experience during a retrograde can affect your love life.
If you are single, don’t get into a new relationship during this time. The chances that the relationship will be short lived or may not turn out positive. Try not going on a first date, if you do, you both may make a bad first impression. Spiritual signals may get crossed, you might have trouble picking up each other’s energy
EXCLUSIVE OR STEADY RELATIONSHIP?
You are not immune from the Mercury’s troubles either. Avoid having major discussions if at all possible. Things are highly unlikely to be resolved, miscommunication, confusion also broken promises are possible. Put off serious discussions or decisions until after the retrograde. It will save you a lot of drama.
DEALING WITH MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE
These are life altering agreements that shouldn’t be taken lightly. A marriage should be planned after Mercury retrograde, so the wedding vows are strong. If you are certain about your feelings, this will transit and cause problems with the wedding arrangements and details. Now as for divorce, it’s best to wait until the planet goes direct. You may encounter messy legal proceedings.
It sounds as if you need to avoid romance during Mercury retrograde. While it’s advised not to start anything new related to love relationships, there are so many ways to take advantage of this type situation. The retrograde can actually help your relationship in many ways!
If you are single, don’t think Mercury has singled you out. Yes it’s not a good time to pursue a new relationship, it’s an excellent time to rekindle an old relationship. Is there an old relationship you have thought about lately?
This is best time to take a chance and try to get in touch. If you are on social media (Facebook, Instagram, twitter and etc.,), you can look up this person, send a message or just like a post, try and get their attention in a nonchalant way.
This time is good for revisiting past relationships. Most reconciling with the past relationships happen during Mercury retrograde. Also coming to terms with relationships if you have had a break up, this could be the time to move on.
For everyone in a serious relationship, Mercury Retrograde is the best time to recommit to one another; renew your love. Also reminisce about the times you both first met or the early years of your partnership. Revisit the places you went when your love was new. Renew your wedding vows or go on that second honeymoon. Using this wonderful opportunity to reconnect with your partner. This time will strengthen the bond of your relationship.
Mercury Retrograde is not the time of doom and despair. Consider the chance to reevaluate your love together. Release negativity from the past that is holding you back, cherishing the beautiful times together. Embrace Mercury retrograde and let it prepare the most greatest love ever.
