Let me start with an apology for any typos or confusing sentences here – Mercury is in retrograde, and I am feeling it. Are you? Mercury is in retrograde from May 10 to June 3, 2022, and it will be moving through Gemini and Taurus, so we may experience some interesting energies. It may be a little crazier than other retrogrades because there is a Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse this weekend too. Take the usual Mercury retro precautions: backup your computer, expect travel delays, put on your patient demeanor, and be careful to communicate clearly. This retrograde starts in Gemini (from 5/10 – 5/22), whose hallmarks are communication and curiosity. That makes this a wonderful time to study, gain knowledge, or learn a new skill. Don’t expect to master them during this time, but definitely start. Pay attention to not only what you communicate, but how as well, until Mercury moves out of Gemini. Your words may unintentionally cause some harm or hurt feelings now. Prioritize self-care and mental health, not only because of the retrograde, but also because of the Lunar Eclipse this coming weekend. It may be bringing in feelings of insecurity, fear, and doubt. These energies combined may have you feeling unfocused, fuzzy, and ungrounded. It will pass! After 5/22, Mercury moves into Taurus (still in retrograde) and the energy will definitely change. We will naturally be a little more diplomatic and thoughtful, as this is part of the Taurus energy. You may find a little push-pull between Mercury’s energy (a planet of action) and Taurus (a sign of stability). This might feel a little like stress while you’re feeling that you want to rest and ground (Taurus), but your mind is telling you to keep moving (Mercury). Find ways to address both energies as part of your self-care. Practices that are “mindful movement,” like yoga and hiking, might be great choices right now. Now we need to address the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse coming up. This Full Moon is the Full Flower Moon. It is also a super moon and, because of the eclipse, a blood moon. So, would we call it a Super Full Flower Blood Moon, or a Full Flower Super Blood Moon? Whatever you call it, here’s the timing: The event occurs overnight between 5/15 and 5/16. The moon is actually full at 12:14 AM EDT on May 16th (14 minutes after midnight overnight between 5/15 and 5/16). We will be feeling the energy before that, for sure. We will be able to see the eclipse, weather permitting. It starts about 9:32 PM EDT and the moon will be in total eclipse at about 11:25 PM EDT on Sunday night (5/15). This Full Moon is in Scorpio, bringing lots of creative ideas with it, and maybe some chaotic energy. Due to Scorpio’s introspective nature, this info may come from deep within your soul and/or your subconscious. We are being shown that we have energy and creative power, so once we have a support structure and resources, we can move forward with our dreams.
