As Mercury prepares to do its infamous backtrack in Cancer come June 29th, we’re in for a wild ride, and it’s not just because Mars will have just strutted into Gemini to shack up with Uranus. Picture this: one energy is all about racing ahead full throttle towards the future, while the other longs for cozy nights snuggled up at home with family. And if that weren’t enough, there’s a full moon Cardinal T-square adding its own dramatic flair to the mix. I mean, talk about the cosmic gremlins turning up the chaos dial! This clash of vibes is gonna linger for over a week, testing our patience like never before. By the time Mercury finally decides to go direct on July 23rd, we may just be left wondering if we should have locked ourselves in our rooms with a pint of ice cream instead. So, are you bracing yourself for the delightful and oh-so-fun hiccups this retrograde is bound to bring? Buckle up—this is gonna be a doozy! LEARN MORE.

Mercury will turn retrograde in Cancer on June 29th. We’re likely to be off to a bad start with this. It’s because Mars will have just hit, Mercury-ruled Gemini, to conjoin Uranus.

One energy represents a spectacular push towards the future.  The other seeks comfort at home with family. There’s also a full moon Cardinal T-square on the same day. This is enough to really set people off.

This clash of energy will be maintained for more than week. It will wear on people.  Mars will eventually leave Uranus behind, but by then, Mercury will pick up a square to Saturn in Aries.  ::insert swearing here::

Mercury will turn direct on July 23rd, but this also a super ugly situation. Mercury will be tightly square Saturn at that point. Mars in Mercury-ruled Gemini will be squaring Venus in Mercury-ruled Virgo. Egads!

Expect bothersome delays in the area of life associated with the house where Mercury is transiting. Further you can expect to feel it (Cancer). Emotional eaters, beware!

I’m sorry this is so negative but I call them as I see them. This is a good example of how Mercury retrograde periods are not created equally. Gemini, Virgo and Cancer, my heart goes out to you.

How will Mercury retrograde affect you?
