Here we are again, at the impalas of another Mercury retrograde. This time around, Mercury will be moonwalking in the air sign Gemini. From May 29th to June 22nd, Mercury will be reawakening the past and wanting to stir up trouble. Fortunately, we composed a list of tips and dates for you to watch out for.

Key Dates For Mercury Retrograde:

• May 14th is when Mercury first entered the degrees it will be traveling over during the retrograde, known as the pre-shadow phase. This is when the story that will unfold during Mercury retrograde began.

• Mercury retrograde commences on May 29th and aligns with Venus in Gemini. This will make us reflective over past loves and old friends, as well as making us second guess financial investments.

• June 5th brings a square between Mercury retrograde in Gemini and Neptune, who’s in Pisces. Emotions, paranoia, and exhaustion will run deep. Try to relax.

• The solar eclipse in Gemini on June 10th will connect with Mercury retrograde. June 10th is the sweet spot of the retrograde, as Mercury is in the heart of the Sun. In order to move forward, we’ll have to heal some of our deepest wounds. This is gonna sting a little. But, it’s imperative to tend and discuss our sentiments. 

• Mercury retrograde ends on June 22nd.

• The post-retrograde shadow (known as Retroshade) lasts until July 7th. Will be going through the same energies and stories that began during the pre-retrograde shadow and May 14th for a third time. 

Magical Tips To Survive And Thrive During Mercury Retrograde:

• Place fresh or dried lavender in the corner of the room where you keep your technological devices. Lavender is the flower and scent associated with Gemini, which will help remedy any Mercurial mishaps. 

• Citrus is the essence of Mercury, which is why it’ll do us all good to cool down in a lemon balm bath or shower. Even ingesting water with fresh lemon squeezed into it will help soothe Mercurial missteps. 

• Being that Mercury retrograde is retrograde in an air sign and anxieties will be high, mediation will act as a grounding force and aid in relation. 

• Place smoky quartz crystals on your electronic devices to ensure they aren’t susceptible to any issues. Cleanse them daily with crystals.
