Brace Yourself for the Worst Mercury Retrograde of 2021 Are you currently feeling like there is a sign on your back that says, “Kick Me?” Or maybe you feel like all of your relationships are a little off and you’re not really sure why? You’re not imagining it. Mercury has been in retrograde since Saturday, May 29, and will be until Tuesday, June 22. According to local psychic, Stephanie Burke, this one is a real doozy. "It’s safe to say nothing could’ve prepared us for this,” said Burke. “This is the worst Mercury retrograde of the year. This time, it’s in the sign of Gemini where Mercury is most comfortable, thus allowing it to reach its full potential while in retrograde. While they’re all challenging, this one will be the toughest for us in 2021. Not to mention it’s happening right in the middle of eclipse season!”
