We This Mercury retrograde is one of the major turning points of 2008. We will experience important and major transitions during all of the Mercury retrogrades in 2008, but the one in May/June becomes extremely important because it brings in information that will be key to rectifying many issues that have been occurring since 1995, when Pluto went into Sagittarius, the opposite sign of Gemini.

Because 2008 is universally a ONE year (in numerology), signifying a time of new beginnings and setting a new pace and focus for the new nine-year cycle, the Mercury retrograde process becomes important with the adjustments required as we weave through our new journey. Our new direction emerges as we move into 2008, with many planets opening doors for new beginnings. The middle-of-the-year Mercury retrograde, in the air sign of Gemini, provides information that brings many issues back around to be seen in a different perspective. This becomes an important interpretation to the changes slated for 2008. Air signs signify our mental attitude and our mental outlook, which will be greatly impacted by the information streaming in at this time.

These signs of the zodiac that are in Air signs, relates to our mental and higher mind pursuits. and spiritual world and the mental adjustments that need to change at this time. The purpose of Mercury retrograde is to review and revise our life and our connection with reality. Mercury has an orbit that is faster than the Sun, which represents our purpose and reality. At times Mercury gets ahead of the Sun allowing us to look into the future toward new and innovative ideas. However, we cannot continue in that vein until we come back to the present designated by the Sun and put our new ideas into manifestation and into our reality. . During the time that Mercury jumps ahead, we ultimately have to bring the ideas back into the present to test and evaluate to see how they fit into our life. As Mercury retrogrades back into the present, the connection with the Sun happens as we test drive our ideas and re-align with reality and the natural timing of the universe.

The Mercury retrogrades that are occurring in 2008 provide the opportunities for us to make mental adjustments during the Mercury retrograde time frames, as prompted by the new information streaming into the events of mid-year. These adjustments will be very necessary as they allow us to make major changes, emphasizing our new beginnings and the course corrections to move away from the old situations to blaze new paths.

Mercury Retrograde Workshop

Mercury Mercury in Gemini prompts us to review the information that has made it ways into the events and circumstances that we have before us. Gemini requires that we have an adaptability and the capability to put the puzzle pieces of information together. Our own goals that are prompted by our values within the scope of new information associated with our new direction will be the issues to address during this Mercury retrograde. Ultimately we will move into our own directions according to our values of our philosophy that was used and lived during the time that Pluto was in Sagittarius, opposite of Gemini.
As Mercury retrograde in Gemini opens the door for a great amount of information to come streaming into the picture, Pluto then retrogrades back into Sagittarius to review the information and the relevance to the Pluto ethics and motives that will be revealed as the information is revealed. The ultimate direction of the pathways that are opening up and setting the pace during the ONE universal year of 2008 will have this Mercury retrograde bring information into the picture to set the viewing and create a new perspective. The ONE year opens up new directions and the Mercury retrograde shines the light onto the importance of the information that is now being revealed. This creates changes in our life, setting a new pace mid-year for 2008.

Pluto moving into Capricorn has opened new doors for us and has set a new pace for 2008. This changes our career and business pursuits. Along with the business changes, our concepts about money, prosperity, and good-will for all becomes the scenery along the road that unfolds as move we move into our rightful direction. We will find that transformations will occur in the business world and begin to open up new doors according to our value of others and the importance that people and the good-will toward others is interwoven into our goals. However, Pluto cannot move forward into the Capricorn arenas until changes occur by seeing the information that will be revealed during the May/June retrograde. Because Pluto represents power and Capricorn represents business, people within positions of power in the Capricorn environment will require an accountability review from the information that is now coming about through the Mercury retrograde in Gemini.
Gemini represents the communication, written, verbal and through actions, that has been the expression of Pluto in Sagittarius. This final journey of Pluto back into Sagittarius will provide the ââ'¬Â¦litmus test (so to speak) with the information that will be revealed during the Mercury retrograde through Gemini. The New Moon at 13 Gemini on June 3rd becomes a key date as this degree is exactly where Mercury will retrograde to and hovers for about 10 days, June 14th through June 24th.

Mercury retrograde according to your Sun Sign shows how these changes will impact your outer world and your business arena. Mercury retrograde according to your House Cusp (where Gemini is in your chart) shows the impact of these changes in your own personal world.
