I have this but don't really relate as Gemini planets may over ride it pretty well but I can feel touches of it though

My mercury is retrograde and I'm very unusal. When it comes to learning concepts, I like to be able to read about it, so I can understand it mentally. When it comes to performing what I've learned I need to practice after doing each movement, if it's for a dance/ whatever because it is so easy for me to interpret things wrong. My teacher did an activity in classes where he set up a tripod by taking its legs out and unlocking the locks, etc. It involved a lot of watching then doing. I mixed up the whole process and I was even watching it intently trying to do it right because I didn't want to mess it up. Then this boy in my class laughed at me and called me stupid.. I'll never forget that.
Some people just learn differently. If I read step 1 was to ___ then step 2 ____ , I can remember it.

I would trade mercury retrograde to a direct any day. I know it may have the pro of better understanding once the puzzle peices fit, but in the mean time it makes us come off as slow and in the mean time, when learning things it takes us longer. And how often do we learn things? All of our life is a learning experience, so we're pretty much screwed.

OMG I was in a dance group and I am the same way

Mercury is Retrograde in Capricorn

Mercury retrograde indicates a contemplative and reflective mind, that has a strong inward focus, that points to a strong link between the conscious and the unconscious mind. Mental responses are generally not as quick as when Mercury is direct, but the mind is deeper and more profound and more sensitive to the feelings of others. Learning of new concepts can also be slower as information and skills are gained through careful assimilation rather than through intuition. The person is less verbal especially about their feelings and may keep a lot inside, and be rather self-critical. The challenge provided by Mercury retrograde is to achieve a focus for your perceptions and relationships and to find a balance between your discriminatory powers and your intuition.

Mercury Retrograde
* reconsiders before speaking
* lots of inner conversation and thoughts
* expresses self better in writing
* feels misunderstood

Mercury involves mental processes and communication of all kinds. Exploring ideas, seeking knowledge, writing, public speaking, making contacts, even short trips and commerce fall into Mercury‘s domain. Mercury is retrograde at least three times each year, and is our most frequently retrograde planet. During this usually three week timeframe, misunderstandings increase, mail and email gets lost, messages are delayed or appear elsewhere, misdirection and frustration with miscommunications of all kinds tend to intensify. Odd ideas tend to occur as normal abilities and patterns of writing, learning, and speech become disrupted.
For a few, this retrograde actually has the opposite effect. New ideas, new speaking or writing abilities are often revealed in folks whose natal Mercury is retrograde. Are you normally hesitant or afraid to speak out? Do you find yourself very concerned with how others will take your words or what will happen if you speak your mind? You few, may tend to get a kind of vacation from or improvements in both your usual internal and external dialogue.
In Karmic terms, Mercury retrograde in your natal chart suggests that you may be dealing with old lessons about the negative consequences of uninhibited speech. Motives mean a lot to you. You could find yourself attracting more than your share of criticism or opposition to your ideas, but if you let that stop you from speaking your mind, you are essentially inhibiting yourself from communicating. You can learn to overcome your fears. Most other people are actually more concerned with how the world sees them than they are about what they think about you. Apply your curiosity, flexibility, and take an active interest in the welfare or interests of people around you. Half of your ability comes from listening! If speaking to groups of people makes you nervous, let your thoughts escape into the outside world by writing. Make small talk wherever possible about any topics of interest, while you boost your self confidence and begin to overcome your hesitance of expounding your personal views in public.

------------------------------------------

I talk to myself all day long. I also talk to God all day long. Life is one large mental process for me.

Hi Ami! I have Mercury and Jupiter retrograde.

With Mercury retrograde (anaretic 29 in Libra) I find that I often have delayed reactions to things. I have a pretty sensitive Pisces Moon, so no matter what I FEEL it, but it may take a couple days to "logic" it out. I need time to find my thoughts.
