Mercury went retrograde in Gemini 2 days ago and it will stay there for close to a month. A retrograde happens when a planet moves so fast it looks like its going backwards. The activities of that planet come into play during this time.

With Mercury in that sign, this will be a time where we engage the throat chakra a bit more.

Polishing how we communicate our ideas and feelings will be a more dominant focus.

This means that you will want to exercise neutrality when perceiving the ideas of others. This will allow you to listen instead of judge. Most of the misunderstandings caused when Mercury is retrograde are because there’s a tendency to hold prejudice in the attempt to observe others.

This doesn’t only involve inter personal relationships, but also those with the self.

You will thrive harder during this retrograde when you find time to be still and silence the mind on a regular basis. A daily reminder that you are the observer of the thoughts and not the thoughts themselves will keep you leveled.

Journaling will also prove very beneficial. Part of this involves creating a to do list and following through it, as well as writing down thoughts you’re unsure of in place of having strong emotional displays.

Creating art will engage your mind. Get in touch with your creative side.

Intuitive guidance will also be coming in, so be open to aligning to any forms of communication your guides will use to make their message heard to you.

Here are some crystals you will definitely want to work with under this transit;
