Mercury retrograde has a dodgy reputation in Astrology, but its reverse direction can actually be a good time to take stock of a situation. As a Gemini you always pencil in, you never ink.  This allows you to back out if you need to or to cancel plans all together, but sometimes focusing more on an exit strategy blinds you to the advantages of staying put. Go ahead and give recent choices the once over because there's a good chance you’ll discover that you were a lot savvier than you originally gave yourself credit for. Believe it or not, it's why God created Mercury retrogrades.
