Mercury is moving more quickly and thinking and talking faster when it is traveling through its own sign of Gemini.
Venus, normally at home in Libra, is comfortable in this fellow air sign of Gemini. It can relate easily to Gemini’s scholarly approach to things, and loves to partner with others on intellectual pursuits while traveling though this sign.
With Mercury and Venus conjunct in Gemini today, Friday May 24th, 2013 at 4:54p PDT, this is a wonderful combination under which you can exchange information and have conversations that are direct, thought-provoking, objective, and emotionally detached. These qualities are important because the conversations you are open and willing to have now may actually be effective in bringing clarity and understanding to situations where they have been lacking and needed for quite a while.
Keep in mind that this Mercury-Venus conjunction in Gemini is occurring the same day as the Full Moon, so there will be plenty of emotional energy in the air. But with the conjunction happening at 18° Gemini and the Full Moon-Eclipse happening at 4° Sagittarius/Gemini, there is little direct interaction.
Yet when it comes to one-on-one relationships or partnerships, there is plenty that can be clarified and discussed without much of the Moon’s emotional drama coming to the fore. Under the influence of this Mercury-Venus conjunction in Gemini, ideas can simply be ideas, thoughts can simply be thoughts, and feelings can be presented simply and rationally without anyone needing to take anything personally. Conversations and exchanges of information will have a child-like curiosity about them. It’ll be as if each person involved will be fascinated by what they finally get to say, and through listening, what they finally get to learn about the other person or about the subject matter they are discussing. Any emotions that may come up as result of the Full Moon-Eclipse energy can be discussed rationally and quickly with surprising specificity and objectivity.
These could be the best conversations you’ve had in a long time, and in some of your relationships, possibly your best conversation(s) ever.
Remember throughout this day of Mercury-Venus conjunction in Gemini that you are gathering and exchanging information for understanding’s sake. You are, in many ways, learning for clarity today. Embrace the lessons that come forth to help you and your partner(s) be heard and known.
Thank you for reading and sharing Signs and Numbers. Until next post…
