EYE ON THE SKY: MERCURY RETROGRADE IN CANCER/GEMINI JULY 7-31ST.

Everyone cringes at the thought of Mercury retrograde but it is not bad for everyone and gets a lot of bad press.  You all  know about Mercury retrograde so I wanted to share some new things.  First of all if you were born with Mercury retrograde, you are more right-brain orientated and have more spatial orientation and recognize patterns and are not logical.  It will be interesting to observe if during Mercury retrograde you need to be more intuitive rather than logical during the  transit.

Secondary, Mercury retrograde is not bad for every rising sign.   It is most difficult for the rising signs of Cancer,  Scorpio,  Pisces,  Capricorn, Aquarius, and Sagittarius  due to house ownerships involving  the 6, 8, 12 and even the 7th  house ruler.   It  actually makes Virgos and Geminis stronger in their physical body but maybe more inward.

Mercury retrograde is happening in Cancer, where it tends to more mentally confused as the two mental planets do not get along as the sign of Cancer is more emotional and Mercury wants to be logical.   It is going retrograde in Pusyha which gives it blessings of Brihaspati but some slow energy from channeling Saturn.  It will briefly retrograde back into Gemini at the end of the month and that will not be that helpful for planets at 29 degrees are not very sharp or clear.

Mercury transits from the rising sign or the moon are considered good when they are 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10th or 11 houses from the moon or rising sign.  Hence if your rising sign or moon is  Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Libra, or Virgo Leo, it is considered a good transit.  Still it is moving toward an exact conjunction with Mars on July 8th and so you have to be careful with  increasing  debates and arguments and may lead to accidents from some rising signs and if you are running a Mercury/Mars or Mars/Mercury period and are Aquarius or Sagittarius rising or moon.

Mercury and Mars can   can lead to disputes  and aggressive arguing nature , being too self-centered and ruthless.   Awareness around this is going to be important as debating about who is right becomes an ego-centered event to justify our position and keep us chained to a position and not open to seeing other points of view.  Be open to listening more and understanding and integrating others points of view over the next few months.

So like always, back up your computers early, get your letters and marketing and business dealings done early today,  be redundant about communications and do not assume that your emails and phone messages and texts will get picked up.  Most of  all,  be patient as Mercury is like the Greek god of Hermes and he wants you to laugh when these things do not go right. He is the trickster, so smile and accept and be patient and know it will be over by July 31st.   For some, those 23 days will seem like forever so smile!!
