Gemini 2008 Monthly Horoscope

Mercury Retro in Gemini

During the first three weeks of June (beginning May 26 until June 19th), Mercury (planet of communication) is retrograde (backward movement as seen from the Earth) in Gemini, sign of gathering and sharing of information. Mercury is also the planet that influences thinking, ideas, driving, traveling, and interacting with ease and curiosity. When Mercury is retrograde information facts, plans, ideas, messages, etc.) seems to go into hiding. The reality is that all that
we have encountered in the last three months has overloaded our mental processes. We must go into a review, assessing all information and experiences from the past. Our minds (thinking) become internalized. We sift through experiences and information to eliminate what is not useful, and to absorb on deeper levels what is valuable. Mercury retrograde times (always three weeks long) can be very useful. We look at previously held information with new eyes. We review and assess.

It is important to understand retrogrades (all planets retrograde) so that we can make use of a cycle of time that assists us in evaluating our life, ideas, plans, thoughts, experiences and beliefs. Decision-making is different during Mercury retrogrades. We are in fact to put off making decisions (major ones) when Mercury is retrograde. When we understand retrogrades we no longer make ill-informed or ill-timed decisions, we can actually save time, money, and avoid difficult outcomes. Mercury retro forces us to review all aspects of our lives. Previous relationships and situations that are incomplete come back into our lives. Our minds turning inward, we don't see the fine print. We can miss important dates, and we can become forgetful.

It is good to know what not to do in Mercury retro. Since our thinking processes are internal and information can be hidden it is best to refrain from important decisions, dates, commitments, plans and transactions. When Mercury turns direct again information that was hidden during the retro is revealed and we will ask ourselves what were we thinking when, in the retrograde, we did the following: bought a house, car, large appliance, signed major contracts, took out a loan, made a major commitment or decided to move.

In other words, in Mercury retro we DON'T buy a house, car or large appliance. We DON'T make commitments, take out loans, promise anything, or begin to or decide to move or purchase anything of importance. The reasons are that when the planet of mind and communication (Mercury), is retro, many things are concealed, unseen, unknown, out of sight, secluded, and rather mysterious.

When Mercury moves forward again, the previously hidden information is revealed, disclosed, laid bare, becomes public, is unveiled, and brought to light. Therefore, unless one is born with a natal Mercury retro, it's best to refrain from any important measures and decisions until Mercury is direct again. Then, everything (facts, figures, the reality of what was hidden) will slowly come to light over the nextweeks. We need strength to cooperate patiently during retrogrades for they are spiritual periods of rest and NON ACTION. Retrogrades are times of preparation. It is wise to follow these greater realities as they provide us with a timing mechanism that proves to be highly ecological. The energies that fall to Earth from the planets, constellations and stars are greater than our desires and thoughts. For those asking about free will…we can choose to work with these greater cycles or not. That is the only free will we have at the present.




ARIES: (March 21 - April 20) What is the status of your car? Does it need a tune-up and/or repairs? What is the status of the computer and phone systems? Do they need upgrading? Are there people you must contact, tasks to tend, bills and correspondences waiting for your attention? Whatever must be done, do it slowly, with care and attention and give yourself more time than usual. Have intentions to complete all past work. You have three weeks.


TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21) Previous financial situations not able to be tended to till now will need your attention. With all bills and monetary interactions, check and recheck the amounts for there could be mistakes. It will be important to re-evaluate your budget and spending. I think you have many valuable items, which could be sold so you have more capital to work with and in order to purchase preparedness supplies. And create that environment you're impelled to build.


GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21) You ponder upon how others perceive you. Realize you have
leadership abilities. In the next several weeks your thoughts will make you aware or self-identity. Do not allow criticism to undermine your goodness. There may be a challenge between your love of self and your judgmental self. Someone else may activate this. Know that your childhood experiences were chosen by you for learning.


CANCER: (June 22 - July 22) Fears may be ready to set up housekeeping in your emotional mind. Inform them they are not welcome. Others can assist you if you talk about what's bothering you. Fear can become addictive, looping over and over in your lower mind and bringing you to your knees metaphorically. If there is lamentation and grief, that is allowed. But fear isn't. It isn't real and is based on non-information.


LEO: (July 23 - August 23) Reassessing friendships and social interactions, future goals, hopes, wishes and aspirations are your currents of thought in the coming weeks. Re-evaluating these keeps us in touch and aware. Whenever we feel tension and longing a new need and aspiration is
calling us. Respect this. When desires are spiritualized, they become aspirations. They tell us of the pathways to our future.


VIRGO: (August 24 - September 22) Your life direction will come into focus along with who you want to be in the coming years. These are very important considerations. Sometimes we don't really know what life has in store for us. And sometimes we can't visualize anything. What in your life are you striving toward? What things/events are most important for you? Do the environments you find yourself in, reflect you?


LIBRA: (September 23 - October 23) Several times in our lives we have spiritual experiences that lead us to reassess life's purpose and our purpose within life itself. We refine and redefine; we ask if there is actual justice in life. There is but it's often hidden unless we quest beneath the surface of accepted reality. Ethics become important. What are your ethics? Do you know what they are? Remember at all times to radiate Goodwill.


SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22) Other people's money and resources will be on your mind and/or money and resources you hold in common with another. Arrange a meeting specifically concerning these resources stating what both of your needs are for the future. You will reassess and rearrange but it must be done with equanimity. We will begin to enter into a sharing economy. Knowing this you can better manage your need for power. Power with others works.


SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21): Remembering all previous relationships may occur the next three weeks. It's good to assess what was gained, what worked, what didn't and how your belief systems (patterns learned when you were small) affected the outcomes. Something special is or will be occurring intimately. Perhaps it's that you understand how love works and that it's not about the other. It's about your intentions and ability to see the life principle in action.


CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20): Daily work and agendas, interactions with co-workers will be the focus. Something from the past shows up and through cooperation and intentions for right relations you create a state of cooperation that surpasses all expectations. Home life on a daily basis may feel changed. A previous restrictive attitude of someone near you continues to be difficult. Eventually this must be faced lest something is lost forever. Schedules shift and change constantly.


AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 18): It's good to know there's a difference between what makes you happy and what makes others happy. They're not the same. It is a radical shift within ourselves when we ask what makes another happy, soothed, comforted, and cared for. When we realize these we may at first have to sacrifice our own comfort. But should we tend to the other, joy replaces discomfort and the happiness is ours. This is Soul work.


PISCES: (February 19 - March 20) The following issues will be on your mind in the next three weeks. Your mother and you as mother (if you are); your relationship with your children, especially daughters; concern about your home – where and how you live and what the future will bring in terms of home, family, and the quality of nurturing you will receive. There will be conflicts felt amidst all the realities. What you truly want may not be available. But something greater is. Definition and seeking helps it find you.
