The Sun began its transit through the sign of Cancer today, June 21st, at 1:18 PM EDT heralding the arrival of Summer ... also known as the Summer Solstice - the longest day of the year - the days begin getting shorter each day until the Winter Solstice in December ... the pace of life now takes on a somewhat slower tempo than the hectic pace it had while the Sun was racing through Gemini - and it's a good thing with all that fiery planetary energy traffic jam we experienced a few months ago ... also Uranus is slowing down - thus creating more intense, agitational vibrational energy - preparing to turn retrograde in Aries soon, and Mars stirring up the agitation burning its way through the restless sign of Gemini - so Cancer energy is certainly a welcome relief to a point !!! ... in addition, we now process life through a more emotional rather than an intellectual filter ... with the Sun in Cancer one needs to shine through nurturing warmth, through protection, through attracting others through sympathy/dependency, and through family, ancestry or roots ...
Cancer is the sign whose keyphrase is its need to give and receive emotional warmth and security, to feel and to give devotion ... Cancer born individuals are warm and understanding but they can be very touchy at times ... wound them or befriend them and they will never forget ... they love to keep in touch and usually have a remarkable memory ... this is probably the most sensitive sign of the Zodiac but it is also often the least likely to let you know what they are feeling deep inside ...
Cancer is a feminine/water/cardinal(beginnings) sign ... its symbol is the Crab - possessing an impenetrable exterior which covers soft flesh below ... the glyph of Cancer is the claws of the Crab which are also representative of the human breasts ... symbolically, the glyph shows two circles of the Sun that are connected to two crescent Moons ... these Moons represent the Cancerian desire to store memories and possessions, and the circles tied to the Moons represent the force which is expressed through the emotions and the imagination ... Cancer rules the breasts and the stomach which explains why Cancer born usually love to eat and often fight the battle of the bulge - unless modified by other energy in the natal chart !!! .. they are also subject to digestive ailments resulting from tension and emotional stress ... anatomically, Cancer also rules digestion, the left eye of the male and the right eye of the female ...
Cancer is ruled by the Moon - maybe you can see why Cancer born individuals seem to go through so many mood changes so quickly - after all, the Moon does change signs about every 2 to 2 and a half days ... it takes roughly 28 days to complete a spin around the entire zodiac ... the Moon represents the female principle - mother, wife and women in general ... it also represents the public in general, along with instincts, moods, the tides, phases, receptivity, fluctuation, habit patterns, reflex actions, personal interests, desires, needs, magnetism, growth, fertility, the need to touch, impressionability, consciousness, liquids, commodities, nursing, tradespeople ...
Cancer and the Moon are the respective sign and planetary natural rulers of the 4th house whose keyword is security ... the 4th house is the house of HOME ... it describes the parents, the family you came from - your roots - and the home you will establish ... it includes your heritage, heredity, ancestry, psychological roots and your private life ... the 4th house also shows property - houses and real estate - and all that is secluded ... it is the house of endings, the closing years of life, the ending of all matters, fame after death and place of burial ... it represents the parent who has greater influence on you as a child, your subjective self, and the foundation on which you build your own unique character ... as a child one may perceive this house as relating to both parents but as one learns through growth and understanding, the 4th house will ultimately reflect the nurturing parent ...
The essence of the Sun in Cancer is living through nurturing ... holding on with Love ... the instinct for survival ... Cancer has also been often referred to as the "Lighthouse of Welcome" ... the ultimate lesson learned here is that ones family is the Human Race itself ... emotional awareness is more acute here so use it constructively ... determine and perform your responsibilites generously ... learn to trust in the Universe and understand that all things must pass, and realize each day is a new day a new beginning ... the energy of the Sun in Cancer may be expressed the following ways:
POSITIVE: emotional, feeling, receptive, sensitive, psychic, gentle, tender, vulnerable, sympathetic, nurturing, providing, caring, protective, maternal, feeding, domestic, patriotic, shy, retiring, collecting, tenacious, oriented toward the past, retentive, emotionally encouraging, thrifty
NEGATIVE: insecure, moody, defensive, devious, over-emotional, non-trusting, hypersensitive, touchy, brooding, smothering, clinging, consuming, over-protective, dependent, fearful, timid, clannish, withdrawn, grasping, stuck in the past, afraid to let go, anti-social, argumentative, apathetic
Happy Birthday all Cancer born individuals !!! ... the Sun remains in Cancer until July 23rd ... for now, our feelings will be heightened, and we will be more in touch with them whether it be through a fleeting glimpse or a deeply profound experience with something or someone near and dear to us ... and, as the Crab always carries its home - its shell - on its back wherever it goes, we all might as well click our heels 3 times and repeat what Cancer energy so lovingly makes us aware of - There's no place like home !!!

RESTLESS & DETERMINED - GOTTA MOVE !!!
Mars begins its transit through the intellectually curious, communicative sign of Gemini this evening, June 20th at 10:50 PM EDT ... as Mars often represents fiery actions and Gemini is an Air sign - Air gives life to Fire - Mars functions extremely well here ... in fact, it may work too well and too fast at times in Gemini ... a keyword for Mars in Gemini would certainly be "spontaneous" ... under this energy one is mentally active and naturally curious with a very restless mind and tongue ... one can assert themselves flexibly, cleverly, and with many talents ... verbal expression and learning is important ... in fact the desire to talk and communicate is so strong that one may talk incessantly and we may find ourselves thinking or perhaps forced to blurt out SHUT UP !!! ... in addition, having variety and being on the move is necessary ... energy flows very easily here into mental pursuits and/or skill with the hands ... there is often a display of great dexterity and manual skills ... there is a drive towards learning more, developing new skills and making additional connections between people and/or concepts and ideas ... there is usually versatility and adaptability but there is always the risk of being easily distracted as ones focus and desires change quickly and frequently ... think of the term "once is ENOUGH" !!! ... ones identity is tied to ones thinking and communication or to ones manual skills ... sexual drive and physical energy are affected by what one sees, thinks - new ideas, and by conversations ... under this energy if someone is ever ticked off, you can forget about getting a word in at all !!! ... as for partnerships and sex, this energy frequently requires more than one partner for total fulfillment ...
The essence of Mars in Gemini is getting through communicating ... it's the live wire ... it's touch and go ... in fact it is a real go-getter - quick to think, quick to act, and then quick to move on ... if you want to know something, it won't be too long before you simply go and ask ... the desire nature, the tongue and the nervous system are all wired together here ... attaining the object of ones desires and satisfying them is usually achieved quickly ... there is a need with Mars in Gemini to learn to slow down in order to see what is really happening in order to discover what it is your heart truly desires ... the contact ultimately to be made under this energy is with onesself - until you are able to concentrate your attention and learn to distinguish between what you want, what you have, and what you can't have, you will fall victim to your nervous system running in overdrive and dictating what you do ... high strung energies need a constant outlet ... and when you run into someone who frustrates your energies, it becomes necessary to determine what it really is about that person that is driving you - up, down, forward, backward, wild or plain crazy - and you may ultimately discover it is something inside of YOU!!! ... the energy of Mars in Gemini can be expressed in the following ways :
POSITIVE: sharp-witted, humorous, stimulating, ingenious, dextrous, resourceful, adaptable, quick, agile, lively, mobile, eloquent, inquisitive, communicative, contact-maker, versatile mind, flexible, full of ideas, multi-talented
NEGATIVE: sharp-tongued, sarcastic, irreverent, argumentative, mischievous, meddlesome, unreliable, hasty, jumpy, unrelaxing, restless, verbose, nosy, rambling, gets wired crossed, scatters thoughts, changeable, lacking in perseverance
Gemini born individuals, enjoy this extra burst of get up and go for the next six weeks, but remember to be careful not to "incinerate" those around you with this "fired" up energy !!! ... for all of us, it is a good idea to focus on developing one talent ... find some kind of pursuit that involves discipline in addition to speed and judgment ... Mars remains in the sign of Gemini until August 3rd ... so let's get out there and - BUST A MOVE !!!

MEMORIES ... LIGHT THE CORNERS OF YOUR MIND ....
... and that they may certainly do as Mercury began its transit through the sensitive and sympathetic sign of Cancer this afternoon, June 16th, at 3:09 PM EDT ... our thought processes now turn from an intellectual mode towards a more emotional mode of operation as the ruler of Cancer is the Moon which among other things rules the emotions ... Mercury in Cancer has a way of picking up everyone elses signals .. the mind becomes as much a receiver as a transmitter under this energy ... here we have a highly intuitive mode of thinking and communicating ... this placement also usually bestows a very good memory along with strong poetic power ... Mercury in Cancer thinks with the heart and often interprets the meaning of others communications through how it "feels" ...
Mercury in Cancer does not always say everything it is feeling as it tries to avoid hurting itself and others as well with careless ill-spoken comments ... one is very protective of their thoughts ... it likes to nurture ideas and encourage growth before sharing ... one uses emotions as well as logic and often may end up letting sensitivities sway ones decisions ... subconscious fears, habits, or prejudices could inhibit ones objectivity or openness to the new ... there is usually an above-average psychic ability ... one learns through absorbing their experiences and making emotional connections ... interest here may include family, food, the home, the land, the past, the public or security !!!
The essence of Mercury in Cancer is thinking through nurturing ... its the caring mind ... one has to be careful not to take everything so personally here ... it is important to remember to look at the facts in addition to the opinions of others ... it is also important to remember and be aware that each one of us is our own source of light and warmth ... most importantly it is necessary to make a collection of good memories that will give rise to clear and positive thinking ... the energy of Mercury in Cancer can be expressed in the following ways:
POSITIVE: mentally tenacious, good memory, reliable, sensitive mind, poetic, intuitive, agreeable, absorbs information, attuned to public opinion, profound, polite, softly-spoken, discreet, diplomatic, arouses sympathies, emotionally appealing, persuasive speaker
NEGATIVE: mentally habit-ridden, distracted, inflexible, overly impressionable, impractical, irrational, yes-person, too open, taking things too personally, depressive, self-conscious, unclear, incomprehensible, diffuse, prejudiced, untruthful
Mercury remains in the sign of Cancer until July 2nd ... with Mercury in Cancer, one should realize that the natural ability to influence others is worthy of only the highest motives ... tuning in to ones finer feelings and expressing them is ultimately more rewarding ... and finally, try to focus on what you are after, who you are with and why ... and then stick with it !!!! ... and by all means - enjoy the mental trips down memory lane !!!

OVERCOMING LIMITATIONS & OBSTACLES TO BUILD A FIRMER FOUNDATION !!!
Saturn, the planet representing the urge for security and safety and whose keyword is "the teacher", stationed back into direct motion late yesterday evening, June 12th at 11:52 PM EDT ... Saturn is also known as the celestial taskmaster who teaches us the lessons, both easy and challenging, we must learn from life ... it frquently puts limitations and obstacles in our path in order to make us slow down and make sure we are building foundations and structures on solid ground ... while Saturn has been in retrograde motion, since January 25/26 of this year - depending on the time zone you reside in , we all have been reviewing and trying to restructure systems, programs, organizations, corporations and rules to allow them to function more efficiently ... we also have had time to become more aware of our own personal authority and power and whether or not it fits within society or needs some adjustment on some level ... we have also been reveiwing whether or not society rules and policies are helping give us structure or limiting us in some way ...
Just a reminder that Saturn was transiting through the sign of Libra during this retrograde period ... and the essence of this transit is being tested through relating ... needless to say relationships and partnerships both personal and public are going under the universal microscope for closer scrutiny ... in Libra, the greatest lesson Saturn will ultimately teach us is that of BALANCE in relationships ... letting give and take have equal power ... through these balancing acts, one will be able to determine and establish their place in the professional and personal landscape of their individual lives ... there could also have been challenges in our financial situations as well ... and Libra born individuals may especially have been sensitive to this retrograde energy that was taking place in their birth sign ... but we all, regardless of birth sign, were dealing with this energy on some level of our lives ... and with the present state of the economy and business it makes a lot of sense !!! .. Saturn is teaching all of us a very difficult lesson ... but holding firm and staying positive will get us through this stronger and better able to deal with life and its many challenges ...
Now that Saturn has turned back into direct motion, we are better able to see where we stand and begin to move forward in building a more secure structure and foundation in our lives ... at this point we can start working diligently towards pursuing more stability and security in our lives ... no doubt we may encounter limitations or restrictions either self imposed or imposed by authority figures on some level ... or perhaps the Universe itself will even throw a road block or two our way to see how we implement our work ethic and/or partnership/relationship issues we have been working on and refining since January 25/26 !!!
My fellow Capricorns, it is now time for us to "wake up" from our "hibernation period" and move forward with our lives - this is our ruling planet !!! ... we have a yearly period of about four and a half months to review and rethink ...
Saturn will not complete its transit through the sign of Libra until October 2012 ... Saturn requires every one of us to often be taught through difficult lessons in life ... but if you keep your feet firmly planted and try to stay positive and understand that the "light at the end of the tunnel" usually signifies greater personal as well as spiritual growth, you will definitely come through a much stronger person and better for the lessons you have taken seriously and made great personal effort to learn from ... you will certainly be better equipped to deal with life and its many challenges !!! ... Saturn remains in direct motion until February 7th, 2012 ... Now is a good time to make sure that each cornerstone of whatever foundation you are currently working on building is firmly planted and secure !!!

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE !!!
Venus - the planet of love, affection, attraction, beauty, happiness, value and values, indulgence, superficiality, social and artistic expression, and harmony - began its transit through the sign of Gemini yesterday morning, 6/9, at 10:23 AM EDT ... being an air sign, Gemini encourages Venus to move about and here variety is indeed the spice of life which includes objects, foods, experiences, and PEOPLE !!! ... this Venus is both lighthearted and emotionally objective ... Venus in Gemini really likes intellectual stimulation as much as romance ... there is a tendency towards a lack of commitment as Gemini makes Venus way too lighthearted to remain in one place for too long and can cause it to be very flirty ... often there is literary talent along with a love of language as well as sociability ... it enjoys mental stimulation as well as learning ... there is a pronounced casual air in relating to people ... this Venus just loves good ideas ... affection is expressed playfully, youthfully, verbally and lightheartedly ... the handling of money and possessions is usually objective and logical ... this Venus wants good communications and intellectual give-and-take in love relationships ... flirting and engaging in superficial relationships could occur due to the desire for a lot of variety and new stimulation as well as a desire to keep things cool and steer clear of too much emotional intensity ... intelligence and quick wit is highly attractive here ... this Venus enjoys being amused and entertained, otherwise there will be the tendency to look over ones shoulder at whoever is passing by ... Venus in Gemini is frequently drawn towards younger partners ...
The essence of Venus in Gemini is loving through communicating ... a sparkling personality ... there is a strong desire here to prevent stagnation and maintain fluidity so if you fall in love under this energy blindly expecting security and predictability you could be in for great disappointment ... Venus in Gemini is a budding love rather than love in full bloom so it has to be allowed to develop ... loving through communicating means letting the one you love know it rather than sitting on your feelings ... this Venus likes to get around - it is said that sexual or family ties are your "heart", but it is the diversity of social relationships that are the "lungs" which breathe life into your very being ... being a sign of duality, Gemini will cause Venus to be more aware of what it wants than what it thinks it wants ... it is most likely that under this energy one will only attract what it truly desires ... the energy of Venus in Gemini can be expressed in the following ways:
POSITIVE: amusing and friendly, cooly affectionate, light-hearted, emotionally objective, socially at ease, emotionally buoyant, stimulating company, lively conversationalist, ear to the ground, good-humoured, expressive, agile and witty, socially adaptable, emotionally flexible, well-connected, chraming, courteous, tactful, co-operative
NEGATIVE: overly flirtatious, flippant and flighty, makes light of others feelings, emotionally distant, social butterfly, superficial values, lack of commitment, meaningless banter, shallow gossip, empty gestures, verbose, restless and fickle, double standards, inconsistent partner, social opportunist, insincere, easy come - easy go
Gemini born individuals, this is your time to "glow" and become more "attractive" ... as always, you should seek out and ask for what you want - you just might get it !!
Venus now joins the party with the Sun and Mercury, and it remains in the sign of Gemini until July 4th... we all should trust in our natural wit and appeal ... try listening to your heart rather than your own and other peoples voices ... others will appreciate you if you truly appreciate them ... expressing your feelings verbally will open new doors both socially and emotionally ... get out there and experience the reality of variety truly being the spice of life - you'll "love" it !!!

ABUNDANCE ... COMFORT ... DEVOTION ... APPRECIATION !!!
Jupiter, the planet symbolizing growth, expansion, laws, beliefs, ethics, opportunity, wealth and faith began its transit through the sign of Taurus today, June 4th, at 9:56 AM EDT … this Jupiter is all about manifesting things … it values money, possessions, physical gratification and beauty … there is usually a very deep appreciation of sensual pleasures … beliefs often center around being practical and the material world … one may spend a lot of their money and income on books, seminars, the search for knowledge and the collection of art objects … one needs to be careful about putting too much importance on possessions or gratifications … trust is usually placed in what is safe, secure and familiar … one may idealize enjoyment, finances, ownership or perhaps strengthen their faith and trust in life through contact with nature and simple pleasures … growth is achieved through being steady and reliable …
Jupiter in Taurus makes one very much at home with financial dealings and very adept at investments and finance … one may do well in working in their own business or working with other people’s money … this energy may produce one who becomes a stockbroker, banker, or one who deals in any field that requires patience and structure …positively used, there is the ability to develop a deep understanding of the true value of life … one truly enjoys the luxuries money can buy as well … this energy also tends to make one quietly stubborn with an intense dislike of being pushed too hard … in addition, there is found concern with justice and orthodox religion … if not careful with this energy, one can become the victim of their expensive tastes leading to over-indulgence, laziness and indebtedness ...
Jupiter in Taurus is all about growth through being stabilized … there is usually the ability to attract wealth in some way or other … but if not careful one may end up amassing wealth and accumulating material things and then wallowing in it and somehow losing everything or losing control of it … one must remember the Law of Infinite supply which states that in order to maintain wealth one must invest what one has in helping to further others … eventually one may come to realize that a sense of wealth rather than the wealth itself is all that really matters … this energy likes the good things of life, being the provider, material wealth, traditional values and warmth and comfort … it dislikes bare existence, wastefulness, being in debt, scarcity … the energy of Jupiter in Taurus can be expressed in the following ways :
POSITIVE: sound judgment, contemplative, practical philosopher, comfortable, gives stability, steady progress, trusting, jovial, good-humored, generous, good appetite, affluent, money wise, charitable
NEGATIVE: self-opinionated, too cautious, smug, expects too much ease, stick-in-the-mud, cynical, irresponsible, wasteful, gluttonous, greedy, penny-pincher, exploitive, overly status – conscious
Jupiter remains in the sign of Taurus until June 11th, 2012 … Taurus born, this is your time, for the next 12 months, where you may discover an extra chance for opportunity, growth and just plain luck coming your way so keep your eyes and ears open … hopefully the expansion will not be all in your waistline !!! … we all will have the opportunity to manifest more on the material level over the next year … just make sure to appreciate it for what it is and not flaunt it at others … and ultimately when we are devoted, kind and use sound judgment, and realize that there is much more to life than we know about, we will all be that much better off !!!

SPIRITUAL, MYSTICAL, IMAGINATIVE ... DELUSIONAL !!!
Neptune - the planet of the spiritual, universal, ethereal, mysterious, mystical, enlightenment, psychic, delusional, imagination, escape, surrender, sacrifice, artistic inspiration, musical ability, glamour, fantasy, romantic love, dissolving, uplifting, confusing, consoling, undermining, drugs and alcohol - began its retrograde journey for 2011 early this morning, June 3rd, at 3:28 AM EDT ....
One of the main energies of Neptune retrograde is to not just have blind faith ... be it personal spiritual quests or the "collective" quest of society, Neptune retrograde energy means a reexamination of hopes and beliefs ... we may all need to individually question and test all aspects of faith ... we begin to question and develop objectivity in regards to the intangibles of life such as truth, fear, hope and inspiration ... when Neptune is retrograde it is closest to the Earth making its function even more intensified ... artists, musicians, poets and those who are leading a highly spiritual life may especially feel the energy of a Neptune retrograde and be truly inspired ... during a Neptune retrograde if we aren't pursuing a spiritual quest we may become confused, disillusioned or full of illusions ... there is a chance that some may fall into drugs, alcohol or other escapist behaviors ... ideally, this is a time to question the ideas society accepts about faith, fears, truth and understanding ...
Neptune retrograde is a time for everyone to tune into the collective unconscious and realize how our own fears, illusion, confusion or spiritual journey are connected to what is happening with humanity ... this is a time to determine whether or not our own individual energies are being used positively to develop faith and spirituality, or if one is simply pursuing a path of escapism and disappointment ... Neptune retrogrades about 5 - 6 months every year ...
Neptune is currently transiting through the sign of Pisces - the sign it naturally rules ... but it only got as far as 1 degree of Pisces just giving us a glimpse of what is to come during its transit through this sign ...
Neptune, by retrogrde motion,will return to the sign of Aquarius, which represents a need for unification through liberation, for last minute business and won't return for approximately 165 years !!! ... while Neptune transited through Aquarius, we've all been put through tests to see exactly what freedom is and to realize that the best way to unify is ultimately to liberate ... this can lead to the ablility to tune into other fellow human beings and to become united as one ... this period has also come to help begin to illuminate those who can see the "Light" and those who cannot ... Neptune in Aquarius sought inspiration through groups, networking, and individuality and can lead one to be quite the humanitarian ... Neptune, which began its transit through Aquarius in January of 1998, will complete its final transit through Aquarius on February 3rd, 2012 ... now isn't that going to be an interesting year indeed with everything else going on !!!
Pisces born, since Neptune is your planetary ruler, this is your yearly time to review and rethink what has been going on in your life since the last Neptune retrograde ended on November 6/7th, 2010 depending on which time zone you live in ... where have you been seeking the "ideal" and where have you looked at things realistically or perhaps through the proverbial "rose colored glasses" ???
If you have had a natal chart done, then you might get an idea what area of life this Neptune retrograde energy will be affecting ... in other words, where have you possibly let illusion mislead you ... or perhaps where are you seeking the "ideal" ...
Neptune remains retrograde until November 9th ... this would be an excellent and possibly extremely rewarding time to keep a dream journal as your dreams are sure to be enhanced with symbolism and information from the Universe resulting in profitable and/or illuminating ideas ... after all, hasn't it been said "a dream is a wish your heart makes" ???
One of the main energies of Neptune retrograde is to not just have blind faith ... be it personal spiritual quests or the "collective" quest of society, Neptune retrograde energy means a reexamination of hopes and beliefs ... we may all need to individually question and test all aspects of faith ... we begin to question and develop objectivity in regards to the intangibles of life such as truth, fear, hope and inspiration ... when Neptune is retrograde it is closest to the Earth making its function even more intensified ... artists, musicians, poets and those who are leading a highly spiritual life may especially feel the energy of a Neptune retrograde and be truly inspired ... during a Neptune retrograde if we aren't pursuing a spiritual quest we may become confused, disillusioned or full of illusions ... there is a chance that some may fall into drugs, alcohol or other escapist behaviors ... ideally, this is a time to question the ideas society accepts about faith, fears, truth and understanding ...
Neptune retrograde is a time for everyone to tune into the collective unconscious and realize how our own fears, illusion, confusion or spiritual journey are connected to what is happening with humanity ... this is a time to determine whether or not our own individual energies are being used positively to develop faith and spirituality, or if one is simply pursuing a path of escapism and disappointment ... Neptune retrogrades about 5 - 6 months every year ...
Neptune is currently transiting through the sign of Pisces - the sign it naturally rules ... but it only got as far as 1 degree of Pisces just giving us a glimpse of what is to come during its transit through this sign ...

TALK ... TALK ... TALK - SHUT UP !!!
Mercury began its speedy transit through the curious and inquisitive sign of Gemini early this afternoon, June 2nd, at 4:03 PM EDT .... let the Mental Olympics begin !!! ... Mercury is very much at home here and functions well because this is an air sign and, this is also one of the two signs Mercury naturally rules - the other sign being Virgo ...
Mercury in Gemini gives a mind and tongue that can be very restless but very good at absorbing and learning information easily and then sharing it ... one can be quite articulate but sometimes have the tendency to talk or even gossip too much ... there is a skill for verbal expression and the ability to communicate quickly and cleverly ... often the ideas and manner of speech come off a bit superficial due to the urge to communicate perceived information immediately or because one is covering too much ground ... this energy is all about learning and communicating ... there is a high degree of curiosity about everything coupled with an eagerness to learn as much as possible - the world is ones school of life and therein exists a sumptuous, endless and delicious banquet of knowledge !!! ... the mind is likely to be logical, rational, and able to offer information on most any topic ... friendly interchanges are frequent along with the tendency to ask a lot of questions ... there is a high degree of nervous energy which can flow into speech, gestures, writing or manual dexterity in some fashion ... there is also the possibility of physical dexterity and flexibility ...
Those born with Mercury in Gemini, as well as the rest of us that are subject to its transiting influence, can be very hard to pin down ... one often holds down more than one job or may work on a number of projects at one time ... quick, versatile and interested in the world at large, one tends to live mostly on a mental plane ... one MUST have facts and information - there is a basic need to KNOW ... this energy frequently makes one good at languages and math, gives one a love of reading, studying , traveling, and talking with new people about what you have learned or are thinking about ... there is also the potential for a lack of being able to stick-to-it as well as a lack of order in ones life ... usually this energy can produce one who knows a little bit about everything but not a lot about anything !!!
The essence of Mercury in Gemini is thinking through communicating ... the mind is fed and nurtured through making contact with as many people and as many subjects as possible ... the intellect is wired up and ready to go ... it must constantly be stimulated otherwise nervous irritability or restlessness can occur ... the mind is efficient due to its ability to be quick and acquisitive, but the quality of the mind is only as good as what is being fed into it through social, business and educational pursuits - input becomes just as important as output !!! ... there is the capability of thinking on two or more levels at one time ... but one must guard against not having a definite direction to move in or else there can be the result of great mental confusion ... the energy of Mercury in Gemini can be expressed the following ways:
POSITIVE: articulate, curious, well-informed, widely read, quick-witted, lively mind, fast learner, dextrous, clever, humorous, sharp, fluent, inventive, versatile, original, handy, interesting, agreeable, unbiased, logical
NEGATIVE: chatterbox, nosy, gossip, superficial knowledge, highly strung, unruly mind, unperservering, fidgety, crafty, mischievous, flippant, makeshift, imitative, simplistic, trite, scatters energies, unfocused, misses the point
Mercury transiting through Gemini is an excellent time to open your mind to countless new ideas and information ... allow your mind to be like a sponge absorbing as much as it can realistically process ... Mercury remains in the sign of Gemini until June 16 ... we obviously have a lot of information to absorb and process ... and as much as we will want to share and express our opinions we may find ourselves or someone else saying to us - SHUT UP !!! ... ultimately one of the greatest lessons of Mercury in Gemini becomes the ability to respect the value of your own mind : watch what goes into it and what comes out of it !!!
