On May 29, Mercury stations retrograde at 24°43' Gemini, and from now until June 22, it will backpedal through the sign of its dignity and ask us to review, reconsider and, in some cases revise, our attitude towards certain life areas.

If you don't know which house Mercury is retrograding in your horoscope,you can refer to the list below to find out which house the full moon falls in your solar (sun-sign based) chart.

Aries, Mercury is retrograding in your solar 3rd house.

This is the house of communications, short trips, contracts, transportation, neighbors and siblings. Misunderstandings can occur easily now, especially with siblings and neighbors. If you are involved in a writing project, you may encounter writer’s block; and although not a common occurrence, laryngitis has been know to afflict those involved in teaching, singing or lecturing at this time. Be certain that any contract you sign contains all of the terms that were agreed upon before signing it. Make sure that your car’s maintenance is up to date, and allow extra time for traveling as trains, planes and automobiles are not likely to cooperate with you. Neither is your computer, the US Post Office or cyberspace for that matter.

Taurus, Mercury is retrograding in your solar 2nd house.

This is the house of earned income and assets (excluding real estate). Pay careful attention to your financial statements, especially your bank accounts as miscalculations, overdrafts and ATM errors are more likely to occur at this time. If you are anticipating a raise now, expect it to be delayed or less than promised; and if you are promised one now, it may not come to pass. Since this house also rules our value system and self-esteem, some of you may find yourselves examining, and perhaps reconsidering, what you hold most dear while others may be experiencing twinges of insecurity.

Gemini, Mercury is retrograding in your 1st house.

Since this is the house of the physical self, you may find yourself reassessing your image and contemplating a new hairstyle, wardrobe or cosmetic procedure. However, it is best to wait until after this transit is over before taking such actions, because the odds are that you are going to change your mind and return those purchases or be unhappy with your new look. If you undergo a cosmetic procedure at this time, you are likely to be unsatisfied with the results or will need to return for some type of correction or touch up once Mercury goes direct.

Cancer, Mercury is retrograding in your 12th house.

This house rules the subconscious mind, past associations, and things that are hidden. Exercise caution when dealing with other people because you are more susceptible to deception, and your intuition may be less than reliable now.  There is a high likelihood that you will hear from, or at least hear news about, someone from your past. It is also possible that psychological issues stemming from your youth or childhood will re-emerge. This is a good transit for looking within, and therapy or past-life regressions can be very beneficial now. Secrets from the past may be revealed to you at this time, which may be to your benefit.  However, bear in mind that if you try to hide anything now, it will likely be exposed after Mercury turns direct.

Leo, Mercury is retrograding in your 11th house.

This is the house of friends, acquaintances, colleagues and large groups. During this time, you need to listen well and choose your words carefully to avoid misunderstandings with others.  Friends may be unreliable now, or you may discover that someone is not really a good friend at all. There is a strong possibility that old friends and contacts will return to our life now.  If you are a member of a group, club or fraternal organization, meetings and/or events may have to be cancelled or postponed. Since this house also presides over our hopes and goals, you may find yourself re-evaluating your objectives.

Virgo, Mercury is retrograding in your 10th house.

This house rules our career, destiny, public status and the other parent. Tread carefully when dealing with superiors because missteps now will affect your future. This is not the time to change careers or jobs unless you are returning to a past connection. If you are promised a raise or promotion, expect it to be delayed. Since this is the house of our destiny, you may be questioning or reassessing your life path. Avoid making decisions during this time because your judgment is not at its best. If you deal with the public, you must strive to be as clear as possible. Do not engage in any questionable actions now because they are likely to be exposed after Mercury turns direct.

Libra, Mercury is retrograding in your 9th house.

This is the house of long distance travel, legal affairs, education, marketing, lecturing and publishing. Affairs connected to foreign cultures or long-distance travel may be subject to delays and interruptions. If you are involved in a legal matter, do not expect any progress at this time because adjournments are likely to be the only order of the day. Those involved in publishing or marketing need to carefully proofread their materials, while those who lecture need to check their presentations and projectors. If you are a teacher or student and require textbooks, they are likely to be backordered. If you are graduating from college (or higher) during this period, be sure to confirm that all of your paperwork is in order and be prepared for a long drawn-out ceremony.

Scorpio, Mercury is retrograding in your 8th house.

This is the house of jointly-held assets, certain financial investments, psychic occurrences and “other people’s resources.” Pay close attention to any assets you own with another person, as well as investments that you do not handle directly such as brokerage accounts, pensions, 401(k)’s, etc. You should also be careful when completing forms relating to medical, unemployment, disability, insurance or social security benefits, or scholarship, mortgage and grant applications. You could receive notice of a tax audit or discover that you are the victim of identity theft. Latent psychic ability may also reveal itself during this time.

Sagittarius, Mercury is retrograding in your 7th house.

This is the house of marriage, committed and business partnerships, competitors and professionals that we consult. You should exert extra care now when communicating with partners, especially in connection with unresolved past issues that may resurface during this transit.  Although it does not guarantee a lasting union, reconnecting with past partners is a possibility now. If possible, avoid consultations with professionals at this time, because what you are being promised is likely to change. If you must do so, be sure to obtain any fee quote in writing.  If competitors have been behaving in an underhanded manner, now is the time you are likely to learn about it.

Capricorn, Mercury is retrograding in your 6th house.

This is the house of health and work. If you take any medical tests during this time, especially x-rays or imaging tests, do not be surprised to hear that it has to be redone because the film is not clear or the results are inconclusive. However, an upside of getting a checkup during Mercury Rx is that anything previously hidden is likely to be seen. At work, extra care is required because clerical and accounting errors are more likely to occur, and there is also a greater chance of misunderstandings with co-workers.  If you accept a new job during this period, unless you are returning to a past employer, something about the position is going to turn out differently than you expected or were promised.

Aquarius, Mercury is retrograding in your 5th house.

This is the house of children, romance, hobbies and creative expression. You may experience a renewed interest in a former hobby or creative pursuit during this time. Reconnecting with former romantic partners is also possible, although it may be as simple as just hearing news about them. In current relationships, unresolved issues from the past may resurface now, and if they do, an extra effort may be necessary to get your point across. Children may cause disruptions in your life now, or you may find yourself feeling nostalgic about your own childhood.

Pisces, Mercury is retrograding in your 4th house.

This house represents your home, family, real estate, and one parent. In terms of your home, be alert for dead batteries in your smoke and fire detectors.  If you have a security system, it is a good idea to test it.  Appliances are more likely to break now; and if you have any repairs done, be clear about what the warranty covers before you undertake it or you may wind up with an unhappy surprise. If you are a landlord, you may encounter issues with your tenants, such as the rent check that “gets lost in the mail” (though at this time it might actually be true!) or calls for repairs in their apartments. You may have contact with relatives that you haven’t seen or heard from in a very long time. Another possibility is that unresolved issues with your parents are revived.
