Moon moves into restless, inquisitive Gemini today, touching on our current Mercury Retrograde story. Over the last few days we’ve started to take a second look at our choices. What is working in our life and what is not? What needs a fresh pair of eyes?
Mercury Retrograde is a time when things are typically not moving forward. We’re retracing our steps, reviewing, and reworking, especially events and decisions from the previous four months. The planets caught up with Mercury at the time of the retrograde, especially the sign Mercury is in, will flavor this rewind. With Mercury in Virgo, it’s a review of our discernment, our organization, our dedication, and our service.
One of main planets influencing this current Mercury Retrograde story is Neptune. Opposing Mercury via the sign of Pisces, Neptune may be touching on a story where we feel like we’re either not in control or struggling to assert ourselves against an indomitable force. Neptune shows us where we need to make sacrifices, where there’s a plan that is much bigger than our human selves at work. It will also show us our illusions and where we’re not seeing clearly.
Neptune energy is also good for reflection and meditation. So, with that in mind, use today to go with in. If Gemini shows us the multiplicity of choice, then Virgo shows us where we need to bring that choice into something coherent and organized. Do the work today, but also make sure you bring in the energy of quiet self care.
