Can I get a "HELL YEAH!" Today Mercury in Gemini turns Direct, which means it begins growing in degrees again. Retrogrades work like this . . a planet moves forward (Direct) through a series of degrees such as - 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 . . and then the planet turns Retrograde and starts going backward in degrees such as - 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16 . . . then the planet returns to Direct status (forward motion) and moves over the same set of degrees a third time such as - 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24.

Do you see that? The first time the planet moves over a certain set of degrees is the first time, meaning your first opportunity. Then the planet turns Retrograde and you get a do-over (so to speak) to do something or better or right. Then the planet moves forward (Direct) and moves over that same exact set of degrees a third time giving you a third opportunity to right yourself before progressing forward. ALL RETROGRADES work this way.

On May 29, 2021 Mercury in Gemini turned Retrograde at 24 degrees until today where Mercury will turn Direct at 6:00 PM EDT at 16 degrees. The last time Mercury in Gemini was at 16 degrees was on Friday - May 14, 2021. All of this information and the dates you were to pay attention have been in the Mercury in Gemini write-up since the beginning of May 2021. This is why it is important to stay on top of the Monthly Astro Memes page.

In the Mercury in Gemini write-up I gave you these dates and posed the question, "Why in the world would the Universe be taking us all the way back to Friday - May 14, 2021?"

May 14, 2021 was last time Mercury was in Gemini at 16 degrees. So here we are back to that time period when the degrees moved backward to 16 degrees here on June 22, 2021.

Look at the run of numbers from 16 to 24 that I listed above.

16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 - was May 14 to May 29, 2021.

24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16 - was May 29 to June 22, 2021.

16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 - will be from today, June 22, 2021 until July 7, 2021 where Mercury in Gemini will finally reach 24 degrees, which is the degree it was at when it first turned Retrograde on May 29, 2021.

Whew! I know that's a lot but that's how it works.

So again, here we are on June 22, 2021 at 16 degrees. The Universe (meaning GOD) took us back to Friday - May 14, 2021. Go back and look at your emails, texts, calendar and find out what was going on in your Life that GOD would take you back to that date. Why, where and how did you need that do-over?

So you see, this Mercury in Gemini Retrograde-ness is not really over (fully) until it reaches 24 degrees and we get back to where Mercury was when it first turned Retrograde on May 29, 2021. That time period between May 14 - 29, 2021 is what you need to look into.

Retrogrades look like a 'Z' pattern. Forward, backward, forward. In this case, 16-24, 24-16, 16-24. Cool huh?

While it might be easy to sit and type over your head without giving you these details, I could not sit with myself without doing my best to 'empower' you. If I do not do my best to 'empower' you, then that leaves me with power over you. In other words, I know something you don't know. I do not operate at that level. If I share this information with you, then we both have it. I have not lost anything because I still have the knowledge and now you do too. Therefore, you are now empowered and do not 'need' me. That's what empowering others does for you and them, its frees both of us from each other. I find empowerment to be so insanely cool because you still have and other people have as well, which is KNOWLEDGE. See, there's my Jupiter in Aquarius 'I know therefore I am' and now you know too.

Let's say you are a late Spring, Summer or early Fall birthdate, then chances are you have several Retrograde planets because that is Retrograde season and that could easily explain why you might be a late-bloomer.

As a Gemini, I'm a late-bloomer. I started college when I was 27, stayed for 8 years, earned my doctorate. I became a yoga teacher at age 57, became a yoga studio owner at 58 and now I'm 60. Once I bloom, it's jackrabbit f-a-s-t, like one of those flowers that bloom quickly on a National Geographic commercial.

Honestly, I believe for myself, earlier in my days I would not have been able to handle what is mine today and what will be mine after today because I have the Sun trine Jupiter (BIG ASS EGO) and my Jupiter is in Aquarius (KNOW IT ALL). It does not mean that those who have the Sun trine Jupiter are late-bloomers like me, it's just for me, that's how it worked out. I had to get over myself and get humbled before I could handle what I have now and do what I feel compelled to do. I can honestly look back and see how I would not be able to be who I am today without some ass-kickings. I still landed on my feet because I learn quickly. Which brings me to this next paragraph . . .

Now that we have the understanding and knowledge that Retrogrades are a blessing in disguise, we can look at the Sun trine Jupiter that hits exact tomorrow. Naturally I Love this aspect because I have it. It's also important to know that humility will bring everything to you faster and with less drama. PRESIDENT Trump also has this aspect in his natal chart.

Remember in last Wednesday's Daily Horoscope I typed this ---> Just think about this . . . a week from now I will be harvesting my crops, imagine where you will be and it will be so. That's really not my line, it is part of a line spoken by Maximus Decimus Meridius in the movie 'Gladiator'. I LOVE THAT MOVIE! He said, "Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me!"

Well Astrotators, tomorrow is a week later and here we are. Have you decided how BIG you will be, go, do and arrive? Certainly I have BIG plans for myself because I don't know how to do small. I just don't know how to do that, or shrink, or fade, or wilt. So folks, it's time to ratchet yourself up. Let's do this.

Like a slow moving locomotive that will be beginning to build-up speed again, tonight at 6:00 PM EDT Mercury turns Direct. Visualize the locomotive cranking up energy and building up power as he begins moving forward again. Mercury will sit still in a holding pattern, just like you do in your car when you shift gears from Drive to Reverse and then back to Drive again. Mercury will be Stationary Direct (sitting still preparing to move forward) and it will take him a Good two (2) weeks to get back up to normal speed. But thank God, he is moving forward again. Be patient and give him some time to pick-up speed and you will be rollin' again. In the meantime, SUN TRINE JUPITER . . HELL YEAH!
