June begins with Mercury retrograde, which straight away tells us that this isn’t going to be a normal month. At the very least, if we try to maintain our usual ways of doing things, we could be shown that things will not work very well for us. After all, Mercury is the Trickster, and he delights in tripping up those who are too fixated on their plans and who have subsequently forgotten the joys of play.

In the sign of Gemini, this is a stronger Mercury retrograde than normal, for Gemini is Mercury’s sign, so we will likely see more of the planet’s classic retrograde effects. This transit will slow us down if we’ve been going too fast, or we’ll be confronted with the issues we’ve been avoiding. We could experience glitches in communication or problems with travel, transport, technical items, and machinery, such as computers, phones, cars, and so on. Take note of any odd occurrences, particularly if they are frustrating, because there might be a message hidden in the annoyance.
