Mercury in Retrograde – June 18 – July 12, 2020 in water-sign Cancer is fast approaching. I have written about Mercury’s affects for awhile. The thing is, it becomes what you focus on. I personally use Mercury in Retrograde to review and refresh my skills. You learn to be understanding when communication fails. I take caution as time leads up to these times to not purchase, sign contracts or travel. If need be, I double and triple check.
I have a feeling that this retrograde is going to be a bumpy ride. From May 11 to May 14, Saturn, Venus, and Jupiter all began retrograde periods. Don’t be surprised if you are beginning to feel overwhelmed. For those interested, here is a handy chart of what is going into retrograde this year:
