GEMINI SEASON
Happy Gemini Season! The sun has moved into the mutable air sign of Gemini, ushering in a literal breath of fresh air following the steadiness of Taurus season. While Taurus season asks us to slow down and bask in the beauty around us, Gemini season wants to sweep us away and relish in the exciting varieties that life has to offer. As Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, Gemini season is a time for stimulation, curiosity, and exerting our social energies, which is a welcome change after some of the recent astrology we’ve experienced.
MERCURY RETROGRADE IN AQUARIUS
Mercury retrogrades are very common. They happen consistently, three or four times a year, when the planet’s apparent motion makes it seem like it is moving backwards. This means that they are a kind of transit we’ve moved through up til now – before we were even aware of them – and will continue to move through for the rest of our lives. We know how to live with them. This doesn’t mean we don’t feel their impacts, but those tend to be more short-term.
