When the first retrograde of Mercury starts on January 21, the Moon will be crossing in front of Mercury, and Jupiter will be at opposition to Mercury. Things will probably be tense and emotional. Relationships, money and human values play a significant role in the years' first retrograde. This is an apt period to reconnect with people and situations that were once special in your life. This is a time when old connections are likely to spring up from nowhere.

During the second retrograde that starts on May 19, 2015, Mercury would be in its home town of Gemini. This would bring in much energy and aggression into the fore. There would be a frenetic mindset among people with words being spit out without second thoughts. This is a time to stay low and look for the silver-lining in the cloud.
