Mercury Comes Home to Gemini

When Mercury transits the sign of Gemini, this is the proverbial coming home for Mercury as this is its home sign. Gemini is the forever communicator always ready to gather information and share it with others. Gemini doesn’t like being bored, and this often leads to being the proverbial “busy body.” Always involved in many things at one time. Because of the multi-focused nature of Gemini, there is the saying that Gemini is often the jack of all trades but the master of none. Gemini energy gets so caught up on experiencing every little thing that it never takes time to learn about any one thing in depth.

Also, Mercury in Gemini enjoys talking, and this can oftentimes lead to talking about just about anything…including other people. Mercury in Gemini is quintessential gossip energy. Thus, over the next three weeks, it is important to be very mindful about what is said. This especially the case with this particular transit because Mercury in Gemini will be entering a retrograde period. With retrogrades in this sign, what is said could come back around to us.

Under this energy of Mercury in Gemini, it is also very likely that we will be quite restless and nervous. Generally, those with Gemini energy are quite restless and need a lot of stimulation to remain engaged. Mercury in Gemini is very likely to produce an overworked nervous system that is easily stimulated, so beware of the extra stimulants at this time such as caffeine because it could have you overstimulated and restless.

Logic will also reign supreme during this period as Mercury in Gemini is a logical air sign that doesn’t really focus much on the realm of emotions. Being “stuck in the head” can produce energy where Mercury in Gemini is very intellectual to the point of disregarding feelings. There is a certain coolness that some of the emotional types can find off-putting. Thus, this is something to consider as we navigate through Mercury in Gemini.

This can be a great time to make decisions if you have been wavering about something as Mercury in Gemini energy is quick-witted and produces energy where we are able to make decisions with ease. The same goes for communication. If the cat has had your tongue for a while, Mercury in Gemini could give you the push to finally say what you need to say…which isn’t a bad thing at all!

So, get ready for a very active time with Mercury in Gemini! We will all be using our mental faculties much more, and since we won’t be totally engulfed in the emotional realm, this is an excellent time to make decisions based on logic…with the flexibility to change if needed.
