CHECK IT OUT! Look at the teal-colored-drop-down-menu and you will see that the MONTHLY HOROSCOPES are back. The YEARLY HOROSCOPES are also updated.

The BIG NEWS today is Mercury in Gemini turns Retrograde (Rx). It's not like we didn't know this was going to occur because myself and I'm certain others have been posting about it. And as I ALWAYS enjoy reminding you, Mercury Retrogrades three (3) times a year without fail. If you are not use to it by now (at your age) and still need to do the dramatic freak-out, then that's on you. By now you should have already been doing your maintenance work, on the car, computer, etc. This is the time to retrace your steps, clean-up your mess before you progress forward.

If you have been following my horoscopes long enough, then you already know that it is really tough for me to see Retrogrades as a negative. That just does not make sense to me. I've been calling these DO-OVERS for years, as long as I can remember, maybe since my 20's. Retrograde give you a second and third chance to do-over what you did or what you are currently doing. It's a time to stop, reflect as you are shifting gears and then begin moving forward again.

I liken this to driving a car. Sometimes you have to go in reverse. Let's not act like we don't know how to go in reverse. We back out of the driveway every single day. There ya' go, retrograde motion. How hard was that? Sometimes you are in retrograde motion 'all the time' where you are constantly having to back-track and retrace your steps. That's on you! I do not particularly like retracing my steps, which is why I'm so dang organized. I always say that I'm too lazy to look for my keys, so they go RIGHT THERE! Then Mercury Retrograde should not pain you a bit if that's your normal motion. Ya' get me? Do you understand the words that are coming off my fingertips? I Love this 'Rush Hour' scene.

And before we shift the car into reverse (retrograde motion) the car has to be stopped. So the two (2) weeks leading up to Mercury Retrograde was when Mercury was in his pre-retrograde shadow gradually slowing down to come to a stop. Like you would if you were driving and coming up to a stop sign. You would gradually come to a stop. The stop is called 'Stationary'. So all day today and the last few days Mercury has been in its 'Storm' which is that time period closest to the Retrograde where the energy stands still (stationary). Then Mercury shifts gears at 24 degrees 43 minutes tonight at 6:34 PM EDT and begins going backward in degrees, which is Retrograde motion. He will go backward in degrees until June 22, 2021 at 6:00 PM EDT where he will reach 16 degrees 07 minutes. Now why in the world would the Universe (God) be taking us back to 16 degrees 07 minutes where it was on Friday - May 14, 2021. Why do we have to go backward in time and retrace our steps to that time period? WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? Right? Why are we going backward right now at this point in time. So going backward is the 2nd pass over these same degrees. When Mercury turns Direct on June 22, 2021 and moves forward again, it will move over the same set of degrees from 16 degrees up to 24 degrees where it started retrograding, make that the 3rd pass over these same degrees. How cool is that? That is how retrogrades work, all of them! So save the drama and do your Life's work. Make sure you click the Mercury in Gemini Retrograde Astro Meme above for more on Mercury in Gemini after you finish reading this write-up.

Further, we are already in 'Retrograde Season' which is the late Spring and Summer months. As a Gemini, we late Spring and Summer birth dates have natal charts that are full of retrograde planets. I figure this is why many of us are 'late bloomers'. I did not start college until the age of 27 and then stayed 8 years. Once I got 'the get' (understanding) then I was sold on college and went all the way (doctorate). I did the same thing with yoga. Once I got 'the get', I went through one 200 hour teaching training and then kept going accumulating 700 Hours and then several hundreds hours more in additional specialty training and all after the age of 55 including opening a yoga studio at age 58. I'm a late bloomer. So what! I'll be the same age if I don't do it. Right? We late bloomers typically come into our 'own' and our 'abundance' later in Life. So again before you go into dramatic freak-out call unnecessary attention to yourself over this Retrograde, dial it down a notch so you can see and do what you need to see and do.

Sat. May 29, 2021 Mercury in Gemini (Rx) Retrogrades May 29, 2021 at 6:34 PM EDT Mercury turns Direct on June 22, 2021

As you can see from the Memes above, all we also 'get to' experience Mercury conjunct Venus, which is music to our ears. As you can see, this energy began on April 14th, it is exact today, and will last until June 5, 2021. So this is a very sweet sounding aspect with a nice friendly tone. If you lose your friendly tone or you have lost your friendly tone during this time period, you have been or probably will be embarrassed. I would bet money on it!

Let's remember that conjunctions intensify the energy of the planets involved, so this is aspect brings the best out in people (personality wise). This aspect is Loving because Venus is involved. Yay! People like talking to people during this aspect instead of texting them. You may, or others may, walk away mumbling, "(Insert name) is so nice. I really like him/her." So you see, this is a great aspect to make a first impression.

This aspect is also wonderful for speech and writing skills since this aspect expresses itself so well, which is another reason why I have made a zillion astrology posts this past week on my social media. I did have to send a pissy email to a business yesterday and I was really nice about it. Even the individual I cc'd to thought it was a really nice email even though I had to call the business out. Thank you very much Mercury conjunct Venus because I deliberately waited as close to this aspect as possible on a business day, which was yesterday (a Friday).

So there you have it my dear little Astrotators. This really is a wonderful time and if you can refrain from being dramatic, then you will reap rewards for a job well done by the Universe (God). Drama is a quick way to lose time, energy and most of all, opportunity. Take this time period to mean, CLEAN UP YOUR ROOM! Meaning, clean up your act and take care of those little thing that need attention. Unstick locks, walk around with a screwdriver and tight door knobs. Walk around with a can of WD-40 and get the squeaks out of the doors. Opportunities typically come walking through a door. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OFF MY FINGERTIPS? (winky wink)

By the way, look at all of those Retrograde planets in the late Spring, all of the Summer and early Fall. Same thing every single year, just a different year. No difference. Occurs like this every year, different dates but same time period.
