Mercury Retrograde in Gemini, notes for Self Expression

During the period of May 29th - June 22nd 2021 take extra special care with your electronics, cars, travel arrangements and communications — especially since this retrograde round is in the sign of Gemini, ruler of the social scene and broadcaster of the latest and greatest, hot topics, and buzzy information.

General tips for enduring this astro weather: communicate and contribute with kindness, compassion and care toward others and self.

(Extra sensitive vibes are brought forth this month with Venus’s transit into Cancer on June 2nd and the New Moon Eclipse conjunct Mercury on June 10th 2021.)

And though Mercury (the ruling planet of Gemini) will be retrograde for everyone in it’s home sign (of Gemini), the house it resides within is determined by your natal chart. This house will also color the themes and experiences had - especially those in relationship to your expression - during this transit.

If you are curious about how Mercury’s visit in each of the houses influences general communication styles, have a look at the PDF House Projects and Mercurial Pursuits (available to Divine Style Legacy Clients only).

A quick note: when any planet retrogrades we are offered the time and space to review, revise, correct, reveal (with mindfulness) and repair. Considering the themes governed by each house below, what might be up for review and rearranging, repair and recharge, revision and reconnection during this Mercury Retrograde in Gemini within your style, comforts and creative expression?

Below, are some of the topics and physical areas of the body that each House is associated with. I chose to highlight these subjects because of their relationships to adornment, self-care, public reception, creation and all things Divine Style.

What House themes might also seek attention during this retrograde?

1st House - physical body and skin, character and impressions, face and upper jaw.

2nd House - spending and possessions, the neck and throat, lower jaw.

3rd House - education and messages, hands, fingers and signatures.
