Attention All Geminis: Mercury is in Retrograde!

via: astrologyforyou:

The Mercury Retrograde begins on November 23, 2011 at 11:20pm EST, and it will last until December 13, 2011.

A planet is called ‘retrograde’ when it moves backwards through the Zodiac.
Mercury usually turns retrograde 3 times a year, and usually lasts about 3 weeks.  

The planet Mercury is associated with, or the ruling planet of communications, travel, and learning. Therefore, a Retrograde may affect these aspects of every day life for the next few weeks. 

During a Mercury Retrograde, the following may be affected: 

• Classes and school
• Sending correspondence 
• Signing of agreements/contracts 
• Mechanical equipment, like computers, radios, phones, clocks
• Travel, or travel equipment, like cars, bicycles, trains, planes

Things to avoid during a Mercury Retrograde: 

• Making important decisions 
• Travel 
• Placing ads 
• Purchasing communications equipment
• Signing contracts (this includes getting married, or any commitments like relationships)
• Initiating business deals 
• Sending any important messages 
• Starting school
• Starting an important project/enterprise

Mercury Retrograde is a good time for: 

• Reviewing and revising 
• Cleaning out the (metaphorical or real) closet 
• Make repairs 
• Catching up on old business
• Do tasks you’ve been postponing
• Confirm reservations, check your facts
• Change your mind
• Deeply considering issues 

Typically, anything that you begin during a Mercury Retrograde does not last. For example, anything put in writing (contracts, for instance) turn out needing serious revising. 

A Mercury Retrograde is, instead, a good time to catch up with ourselves, and to look back. It is said that something from the past may return in a different form during this time.

Your enthusiasm for connecting with people could create problems this month. Vivacious Venus and chatty Mercury enter risk-taking Sagittarius and your 7th House of Others on Nov. 2, increasing your opportunities for making new contacts. Personal and business alliances seem especially alluring when…

You’ve always been practical when it comes to financial matters, but sometimes consumerism can cause you some stress. Of course you want to show the special person in your life how much you care, but do you need to spend a lot of money to prove it? Find a balance you can both live with. You don’t need to buy a car. A small token of thoughtfulness would be appreciated.

Each Sun Sign of the Zodiac can be divided into three subsections called Decans. 

Each Decan roughly corresponds to 10 degrees or 10 days of the Sun Signs time period. Decans can provide a more detailed account of an individual’s personality traits and character and reveal how people born under the same Sun Sign can be very different.

The Gemini personality can differ according to which one of the Gemini Decans or ‘weeks’ an individual is born under:

If you were born between May 22 and May 31: The Gemini/Gemini decan or the Week of Freedom.

This is the first of the Gemini Decans and is ruled by the planet Mercury. First decan Geminis are observers and curious seekers, always ready to be distracted by a marvelous scenery, an interesting thought or entertaining conversation. Typically intelligent in a rapid, logical and detached way, these restless souls are likely to be somewhat uncomfortable if both minds and hands are not occupied. These people can easily become the life of the party, and they share a great love of light social situations where the people are many and the demands are low. They have an eternal youthfulness over them, thanks to Mercury, wich also provides a nice blend of creativity and logic. They are perceptive and shrewd, and in some cases emotionally shallow. There is often a great interest in communication and education with a strong affinity to the arts. This Geminis must do everything they can in order to concentrate on a single purpose and take advantage of the self-discipline that is afforded by Jupiter (the other secondary planet governing this Decan) whose influence provides the ability to forestall failure. 

If you were born between June 1 and June 11: The Libra/Venus decan or the Week of Language

The influence of Venus, one of the secondary planets governing this Decan, makes for an individual more concerned with the “me too” than the “I am.” This Geminis hate to be alone. Relationships with others is extremely important, they are usually charming and possess a love of beauty. Something of a “closet romantic,” these natives yearn for lasting love and have a good chance of finding it, assuming that the inherent fears associated with this Decan can be put aside. These subjects are effective speakers who can communicate information in both a clear and convincing manner. In general, they insist upon harmony and good taste. The disposition tends toward being positive and friendly, but these individuals will stand up for ideals. Alternatively, if the influence of Mars (the other secondary planet governing this Decan) is overly-prominent, then these natives may be more aggressive. 

If you were born between June 12 and June 21: The Aquarius/Uranus/Saturn decan or the Week of Reason.

The third and last of the Gemini Decans is ruled by Uranus and Saturn. These natives possess an inherent desire to reform beliefs and situations to the benefit of all, not merely a select few. Third Decan subjects may (or would like to) belong to clubs, organizations and groups that are supportive of personal beliefs and ideals. Indeed, those ruled by this Third Decan would make for excellent leaders. Saturn supplies knowledge and scholarly effort which is seldom found in the customary fickle nature of Gemini individuals. However, Saturn also brings worry. Third Decan Gemini natives should strive for the greatest things they can attain while trying to avoid worry in the process. Those born under the jurisdiction of this Decan are usually self-absorbed and inventive, with a hesitatation of allowing those around them to get too close. They may place other goals ahead of relationships, or seek much freedom within any partnership.

Be the one to make the first move at the beginning of the week. It’s a ‘you snooze, you lose’ time for you, so set the alarm a little early, beat a work deadline and tell someone how you feel! Then, if there’s conflict in some sphere of your life around Wednesday and Thursday, don’t avoid it. Unsure how to proceed? Find someone who’s handled something similar in a way you admire, and just ask. Over the next few days, your always-abundant interpersonal skills are even better than ever, and everything that’s wonderful about you is even more so. Rock your world!

Career & Finance

The key to how seriously to consider any piece of advice is to consider the source, especially at the beginning of this week. What’s their agenda? How have they fared handling such issues themselves? Around Wednesday and Thursday, amp up your productivity by eating small, healthful snacks and staying hydrated. A big lunch equals afternoon lethargy and lost time, but you do need fuel. You’ll shine in groups and one-on-ones on Friday and Saturday; even a completely non-work-related social occasion can net you a very useful connection. On Sunday, downtime’s in order — you’ve earned it.

Love & Relationships

Clarity is key when it comes to matters of the heart this week. Can you organize your romantic hopes and dreams into something a little more concrete than an amorphous idea? How about an actionable next step or two? It doesn’t sound sexy, but love takes work, whether you’re looking or coupled up. Hint: Get an emotionally solid and intelligent friend to help with your plans. When the weekend comes, things spring into motion — it’s an awesome time to put your plans in action. Plus, you’re great with the flirting as well as the deeper, more meaningful stuff!
