Kennedy Montgomery Interviews Rebecca Gordon: What Mercury in Retrograde Reveals
In this insightful episode of Kennedy Saves the World, Rebecca explores the deeper purpose behind Mercury retrograde and why this recent cycle felt particularly intense. As Mercury stations direct, she reframes retrograde not as a disruption, but as a necessary pause. A moment designed to slow us down, create space, and reveal what we may have missed while moving too quickly.
The conversation highlights how this retrograde unfolded in Pisces, one of the most challenging placements for Mercury. With clarity obscured and direction less defined, this cycle invited a shift away from linear thinking and into a more intuitive, reflective state. Rebecca explains how the very frustrations we experience during retrograde are often signals, guiding us toward greater awareness, better timing, and more aligned decisions.
She also offers a grounded perspective on astrology itself, reminding listeners that it is a tool for preparation, not control. Like the weather, it helps us navigate the conditions, but it does not dictate our lives. Rather than resisting retrograde periods, Rebecca encourages us to move with them, leaving space, adjusting expectations, and remaining open to unexpected insights and redirections.
This episode offers a refreshing and empowering approach to Mercury retrograde, inviting listeners to trust the pause, embrace the unknown, and recognize that what feels like disruption is often a meaningful course correction.

“After having read Rebecca Gordon’s book, Your Body and the Stars, I knew it was important to go deeper into studying how the zodiac sign influences health. This class isn’t just for those interested in medical practice, it’s suitable for everyone who also want to be more attuned to their bodies. We were treated to fun and informative sessions on going through our natal charts and watching out for potential health issues, as well as identifying some alignments that could affect the health.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the Astrology of Relationships class. Rebecca is a gifted astrologer with a creative and unique voice. She introduced me to new techniques and added layers to my understanding of synastry. Her distinctive take on the waltz between the sun and moon in relationships provided a fresh new perspective for my understanding of aspects in relationships. There is a Facebook group to connect with your fellow students. I love that all her classes are live and interactive.”
— Celeste B, Astrologer
“After studying astrology for over 20 years to then becoming professional the last few years, I am a great believer in continuing development. Through studying and learning from many teachers, I have followed Rebecca for the last two years.
Specialising In Medical Astrology I loved her Health and Wellness course, there was so much information which gave me a deeper understanding of how to bring in the ecosystem.
I would highly recommend this class even if you are not an Astrologer you will still benefit from this class.”

“I have taken two full courses and countless workshops and private sessions with Rebecca. She is undoubtedly a master of her craft and a true mentor for her students. I live in gratitude to her for the rich knowledge she has equipped me in understanding myself and in helping others learn about themselves through astrology.”
— MORGAN R, MEDICAL RESEARCHER
“I met Rebecca years ago at a workshop she was teaching. I was immediately drawn to the lightness and life that she brings to the ancient art of astrology - she makes it so accessible and fun, without sacrificing any of its depth and life-changing potential. It’s been such a joy to be in her astrology school. I’ve gained a much deeper understanding of myself, and seen how we are all “wired” really differently, based on studies of natal charts. This has helped me to be much more patient and understanding with my friends and family ;) And, the class really feels like a true spiritual community: supportive, intimate and inspiring. I will miss our weekly gatherings!”
