Mercury retrograde for a Gemini?

How Mercury Retrograde Affects Geminis

Mercury retrograde can cause Geminis to experience communication challenges, misunderstandings, and delays. It may feel like plans are disrupted, but it also offers time for reflection and reevaluation. Many Geminis find that staying flexible and patient helps navigate this period more smoothly.

Being ruled by Mercury, I would like to know how does Mercury retrograde affect you? Do you hate this time? Do you think it throws you off? Do you enjoy it? Anything that you care to share that you have noticed?

I have mercury in Gemini, am mercury dominant, and born during mercury rx, I don't notice much during mercury rx having to do with myself.

I notice mercury rx affects those around me though, esp Capricorn men. They are always messaging me during these times. I'm talking about men I went on a single date with years ago, men I haven't spoken to in years, pop back up randomly. I don't know what they are thinking.

Interesting -maybe because you were born during Mercury retrograde?

I'm no where near Mercury dominant but I've been feeling a little off, which usually I don't feel during these periods.

And lol at the Cap's. I have one guy who does this like once a year/year 1/2. Same experience, went on one date with him like 5 years ago and he comes back out of nowhere. Don't know his sign.

I have my Mercury in Gem, I’m a gem sun, moon, mercury and some other placements, but I’m still new to astrology though. This month I have been feeling either really pissed and annoyed or super tired, nothing in between. Sometimes sad. Probably it’s also because I have been working a lot this week, worked like crazy from morning to night and I kinda was grumpy. Or maybe it was the Mercury retrogade

Thanks for your response- I'm a Scorpio and I have been feeling the same way this month lol. After thanksgiving things got weird.

I asked mostly because i have noticed a change in the behavior of my boss, who is a Gemini. I feel like he was a lot more present and maybe nicer/polite before. I have known gems to switch up on me after a few months tho (yes the other face lol) so I cant tell if it's the retrograde or what. He also has A couple other Mercury ruled placements.

It sucks and I'm trying not to take it personal and think to much of it, but he is my boss! In the meantime I've decided to just take it a day at a time and do what I gotta do..hopefully as this retrograde season goes away things will get better.

I have gem mercury and i feel a bit sensitive lately. I get pissed off with aqua men in my life for some reason :/ both gemini moon.

Me too. Maybe my boss is feeling this way too.

This retrograde stands out for me. Usually they are almost non existent in my life, at least in 2017
