Mercury’s retrograde in Gemini and Taurus is activating Aries’ third house of communication, so it’ll be important to think about how you speak and communicate during this time. “They’ll definitely start doing some subconscious deep digging and displaying one genuine self-expression,” Holmes predicts.

What effect does Mercury retrograde have on me, Gemini?
Mercury retrograde hell has back, Gemini, and you’re the main attraction (sowwy, I’m just the messenger!). First and foremost, any Mercury retrograde is usually a tornado of dramz for you since Mercury is your ruler, and when our ruler is out of whack, we feel whack! Second, this Mercury retrograde is occurring in your zodiac sign, which means you’ll be perplexed at every step. The best course of action is to go with the flow, to take your time, and to trust your instincts. Anxiety will start to surface for you near the end of the journey, so practice mindfulness and take a break.
What does Gemini’s retrograde mean?
Mercury will be travelling backward through your sign, Gemini, when it first begins its retrograde, from May 10 to 22. Because it is also your ruler, you may feel slowed down and off-track, especially when it comes to achieving personal goals. However, when your sun sign season approaches, you’ll no likely have a lot of social and travel commitments that you’ll want to stick to, as you should. Just remember to leave enough time to make it to happy hour or the airport. From May 22 to June 3, the planet of communication will pass through your twelfth house of spirituality, so think back to where you were in mid-April. You may have felt drowsier and dreamier, pondering what you want to accomplish in the coming weeks. This is the moment to channel that energy towards becoming even more aware of what you want to achieve and how you may best care for your mental and emotional well-being while doing so.

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 2022 Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn you won’t have to prepare for absolute chaos.
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:
