This article is the second part of the series regarding Mercury Retrograde in 2022. You can visit the previous article if you wish to know more about the general meaning of what Mercury Retrograde represents here.
The traditional advice with Mercury retrograde is “Don’t travel. Don’t sign contracts. Don’t marry. Don’t touch electrics!” This is mainly because the energy of Mercury is directed inwards for introspection rather than outside for our daily routine. However, this is a great time to revisit, review, resume, and resolve anything that will arise during this period or we have currently “on the table” in front of us.
Mercury goes retrograde in Gemini and then Taurus from May 10th through June 3rd.
During the times that Mercury is retrograde, people often notice more challenges with correspondence, our communication as we interact with others. It can also show up in our relationship to our neighborhood, our siblings and challenges with cars, transportation or electric equipment. This is marking the second Mercurial backspin of the year and we want to be as conscious as possible especially given that this retrograde takes place in Gemini, one of the zodiac signs ruled by Mercury itself.
It will be a time for insight and discernment, seeing from different views what you believe as true in regards to your dreams and wishes. We need to review what we think we want and desire as we may have become influenced and projected somebody else’s opinions onto what is right or not right for us. i.e make the clear distinction on what are the things that I want and what others want for/from me.
Mercury turns retrograde in between a Solar Eclipse in Taurus and a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio, making this a volatile period when we can expect endings, beginnings, and major turning points in our stories. Gemini being a mutable sign, there will be a need to adjust to numerous changes occurring at once, thus, flexibility will be key in order to be able to also stand our ground. Then, Mercury will move back into Taurus where the Solar Eclipse was on April 30 and the North Node is currently – see article for more details. This move will trigger Mercury, the planet of thinking and communication to touch this part of our personality transforming the way we are seeing things regarding everything that relates to Venus’ (Taurus ruled by Venus) domains: values, relationships, personal assets and resources, money, beauty, etc. With Mercury in Taurus, it may also suggest to review our values and virtues or even to be now challenged by the Universe in order to consolidate our faith and have a stronger determination to hold onto what we value the most in life.
The most intense and challenging period will be for all mutable and fixed signs: Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, and Sagittarius as well as for Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius, marking this a time when major life events will take place which will radically reshape their life. Hold the intention for what you wish to create while remaining flexible enough to flow with unexpected changes. You may need to process some disillusioning experiences, but you will ultimately be able to reorient toward greater clarity once this transit ends.
Below are the domains of life where each zodiac sign will be triggered by this Mercury Retrograde transit to review and reconsider (look for your Sun, Ascendant, and Moon Signs):
Aries: communication, electronic equipment, studies, short trips & money, personal goods and values, talents;
Taurus: money, personal goods and values, talents & decisions, self-actions, ambition, physical body, image;

- Taking any major decisions;
- Travelling (delays, accidents, losing items might happen, etc);
- Buying expensive items (you may see them on Sale after the period end);
- Communicate a new release related to information and/or data.
