What is the current retrograde?
Mercury retrograde begins on May 10 and lasts until June 3, 2022, making it one of the most popular explanations for why everything in your life seems to be falling apart. Expect significant challenges, particularly in the fields of technology and communication, during this period of chaos.
To add to the spookiness, we also have a Friday the 13th this year, exactly at the start of Mercury retrograde. Friday the 13th, which is widely regarded as a day of bad luck and creepy feelings, will give you the creeps.
Mercury, on the other hand, has been slowing down since the end of April, putting us in a fog since then. This eerie mood will last until the middle of June, so take a deep breath and trust that you’ll make it!
As with any Mercury retrograde, keep your head down, relax, and don’t overthink things! There will undoubtedly be delays, uncertainty, and drama, but it is something we will all have to deal with. Go with the flow, don’t sign any contracts, and don’t embark on any major projects during this time.

The Sun is in Gemini this week, Mercury in Taurus, Venus in Taurus, and Mars in Aries.
From May 20 until June 21, the Sun is in Gemini. With the Sun in Gemini, we are motivated by knowledge and diversity. Under this effect, we become more gregarious, intellectual, and insatiably curious. Because of our curiosity and awareness of all of our possibilities, we tend to spread our efforts. We’re more outgoing and adaptable, but we can also be unreliable.
Gemini is the sign of duality and compromise. The energy of Gemini is intellectual, cheerful, perceptive, and flexible. It’s skeptical, willing to consider alternative viewpoints. We’re ready to trade, share, and exchange information, as well as teach, lead, and learn.
During the Sun-in-Gemini cycle, we receive information and profit from the impartiality of this transit. It’s a clever and crafty influence since we’re quick-witted, cheery, and entertaining, and we can easily adapt, watch, and listen.
On the other hand, we can be gossipy, too academic, or overly rational when a gentler approach might be preferable. We may be living too much in our heads, disconnected from what’s in our hearts, as we convey and digest information.
From April 10 to 29, and May 22 to June 13, Mercury is in Taurus. When Mercury is in Taurus, our thoughts are grounded, substantial, and practical. More imaginative thinking loses out to common sense. Under this effect, we communicate more intentionally, and our minds are more focused to the world of the five senses. We choose the tried-and-true over novel ideas.
We can simplify our lives by focusing on one item at a time, but we risk becoming too limited, conservative, or inflexible in our thinking. It’s a period of pragmatic intelligence and leisurely decision-making and mental processes. We may (and are satisfied with) rote, routine, deliberate, or monotonous labor and procedures.
From May 28 through June 22, Venus is in Taurus. Venus is naturally passionate, satisfied, and possessive in Taurus. We desire security and place a high value on things that last. We have a voracious thirst for pleasure.
Taurus is a sign that appreciates the present moment and the world of the senses. During the Venus-in-Taurus cycle, tangible and tactile gestures of love and romance play a prominent role. Under this influence, we tend to cling to someone or something we care about.
Excessive possessiveness and seeing our spouses as objects that we own or desire to own is the dark side of this.
In terms of money, Venus in Taurus seeks out products that are high-quality, robust, practical, and long-lasting. Now is a better time to hold on to our belongings. We prefer earthy, natural, and grounded things in art, tastes, and pleasures. This is a moment when we can be a little more indulgent. We prefer stability over excitement in love and pleasure because uncertainty disturbs us more than usual.
From May 24 through July 5, Mars is in Aries. Mars is at ease in Aries, one of the signs it rules, and as a result, its strength is amplified. Under this influence, our energy is spontaneous, forward-thinking, and even bold. Our competitive spirit is strong, and we are determined to succeed! We are busy, focused, and self-assured.
Our acts are straightforward.
We immediately seek out the quickest route from point A to point B. Impatience, arrogance, impulsivity, short-term memory, unreflectiveness, and self-centeredness are the dark sides of Mars in Aries.
With Mars in Aries, we pursue our goals straight-forwardly, confidently, and unashamedly. The same is true when it comes to expressing rage. Our desire to be first, to arrive first, and to accomplish things on our own is well-developed; our independence, enterprise, and initiative are well-developed.
This transit is better for tasks that demand courage and a lot of enthusiasm and energy, but not necessarily for a long time. We don’t want to look back or overthink things; all we care about is what we can do right now. We aren’t ones to mince words, so we go straight for what we want.
In what retrograde are we now, in the year 2021?
The retrograde of Mercury has returned! Mercury, the planet in astrology that governs communication, entered retrograde on September 27, 2021, and will remain so until October 18, 2021. Mercury retrograde causes the planet to appear to move backwards from west to east.
When Mercury is retrograde, what signs are affected?
Nothing in astrology is more infamous than the dreadful Mercury retrograde. After all, Mercury is the planet that rules communication and cognitive function, so it has a lot of influence in your day-to-day life. When this fast-moving, very intelligent inner planet goes retrograde, it can cause confusion and miscalculations, causing all of your plans to fall apart. Fortunately, if you belong to one of the zodiac signs that will be least affected by Mercury retrograde in spring 2022Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricornyou won’t have to prepare for absolute disaster.
The next Mercury retrograde begins on May 10th, when Mercury is at 4 degrees Gemini. Miscommunication is a prominent topic of this flighty and fickle retrograde, as this mutable air sign has a tendency to think faster than its lips can keep up with. Mercury won’t remain in Gemini for long, as it will retrograde back into Taurus on May 22, returning to its stubborn and slow-moving zone once more. You may find yourself overthinking each decision and struggling to see past your loyalties to particular attitudes and ideas as Mercury returns to this fixed earth sign. Keep an open mind and double-check that you know what you’re talking about.
Mercury retrograde might throw your life into a loop, but it’s crucial to remember that it only lasts about three weeks. This retrograde, which ends on June 3 at 26 degrees Taurus, may lead you back in time, bringing up unfinished business that has to be addressed. Let this retrograde give you another chance to try again if there are any things left unsaid or decisions that have yet to be taken.
Cardinal signs, on the other hand, may be spared the brunt of this retrograde’s effects. This is why:
What impact does Mercury retrograde have on me?
Mercury is retrograde on Friday the 13th, which coincides with Friday the 13th. Mercury is the planet that regulates short-term travel, communication, and exchange in astrology. These aspects of life are jeopardized when Mercury turns retrograde, which happens a few times a year for a few weeks. In general, expect delays, the resurgence of exes, various system failures, and a regrettable text or two.
Because this retrograde happens in Gemini, the fast-talking and often short-sighted sign, lips will be loose and peace and quiet will be hard to come by. Friday the 13th does not have any astrological significance, but it does fall in the midst of this retrograde and a strikingly spectacular eclipse season. Grace is the key to navigating today and tomorrow: the grace period you’ll need to arrive on time and safely, as well as the grace you may provide to yourself and others when words slip and meaning is lost. With this in mind, I’ve come up with some sound recommendations for your sign this Friday.
What should you avoid doing when Mercury is in retrograde?
“We can have technical or mechanical troubles, and our wires in all forms of communication can feel crossed,” says Ellen Bowles, an astrologer and co-author of Astrology SOS. “Planetary retrogrades are periods of communal thought and rest. When Mercury goes retrograde, we are advised to slow down and double-check our work.” The desire to go over every last detail extends beyond the retrograde period itself, which lasts three to four weeks. Mercury’s shadow phase, sometimes known as “retroshade,” lasts for a week or two before and after the retrograde, and the same restrictions apply during this time as they do during Mercury retrograde.
What is retrograde in the year 2022?
Mars is the last of the personal inner planets, the planets closest to the Sun before Jupiter. This could explain its protective, if not confrontational, demeanor. Mars, like a heavenly guard, prepares us to defend what we value. For about eight weeks, the crimson planet hangs out in a zodiac sign, controlling worldwide mood and battling style. Mars pivots retrograde every two years, locking it in one or two signs for seven months. From October 30, 2022, until January 12, 2023, Mars will be retrograde in Gemini.
In astrology, where is Jupiter now?
Did you know that today, April 12, 2022, could be the most fortunate day of the year? That’s thanks to the extremely unusual Jupiter-Neptune conjunction.
Allow me to explain: Since December 28, 2021, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and prosperity, has been transiting through Pisces for a year. Jupiter orbits the sun every 12 years, spending around 12 months in each of the 12 zodiac signs. It is presently in the sign of Pisces. Neptune’s orbit around the sun, on the other hand, is far longer. It takes 165 years to complete the circle, which means Neptune spends an average of 13.5 years in each of the 12 signs.
