Guess What? It’s Mercury Retrograde Again… Here’s Your Horoscope for the Week of June 15

Things seem to pile up one after another lately and, unfortunately, this week’s major astrological event doesn’t make it any better. We’re talking about the dreaded Mercury Retrograde that’s set to throw you off-balance once again.

Happening on June 18, the Mercury Retrograde in Cancer will make you feel more sensitive, emotional, and irritable around your loved ones and coworkers. Be careful about lashing out to others or making snarky comments. Remember to always take a moment to calm down before saying anything mean!

After all, with Mercury being the planet of communication, our words will most likely be overpowered by our strong emotions which may lead to undesirable outcomes. Be wary of miscommunications, indecisions, and impatience at this time.

More importantly, keep an eye on your gadgets; Mercury Retrograde has an annoying tendency to make appliances and electronic devices break down oh so suddenly which is honestly the last thing you need right now.
