As mentioned earlier in the month of Gemini, Mercury is very much at home in its own sign of Gemini. Information comes and goes quickly and effortlessly, making communicating a breeze.
Jupiter is known for its growth and expansion characteristics. It can also make whatever it touches larger than life, therefore, it can take the information and communications of Gemini and expand them or elaborate on them.
Jupiter is also known for bringing a jolly and optimistic quality to any matter. So, with Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Gemini @12:56a PDT, Jupiter thinks that information is good, right? Information is meant to be shared – why not share it in a big way and with as many people as possible? And while we’re at it, why not dress it up a bit?
The challenge with this conjunction is that not everything is meant to be shared. When Mercury, the ruler of Gemini conjuncts Jupiter in Gemini, you can only imagine how quickly word can spread about just about anything and everything.
And in sharing, some of what is shared spreads faster than you may intend it to. In fact, the information may move faster than you realize, causing you to possibly miss out on an opportunity to get some control over what is being said and who it’s being said to. On top of that, you may find that what is being said isn’t false, but there may be some elaboration of the truth. Rather than omissions from the story, there may be additions instead.
Yet, one thing to keep in mind is that Jupiter is at home in the sign opposite Gemini, Sagittarius. It is not only about making things bigger and more optimistic – it is also about gaining wisdom from experience. That said, when Jupiter in Gemini is conjuncted by Mercury, it’s not just about the ideas and/or words. It’s learning from the experience of what fast-moving information and/or quick-flying gossip can do. There’s wisdom to be gained from the communication experiences that you have during this time. It can be quite an adventure if you choose to see it that way.
Unfortunately, we often learn when things go badly. So for most of you, there would need to be the experience of having information you didn’t want out being spread all over, or someone making a much bigger deal about something involving you than was actually the case. This could be a major lesson in what to share with others, learning that what you say may not remain in close circles. You may learn to be more aware of what you share and who you share it with.
However, some of you may have a positive experience with this Mercury-Jupiter conjunction. In this case, you may learn how to get a positive message or helpful information to others in a fun and easy way. You may also notice that since jolly Jupiter is bigger in size than nimble Mercury, it doesn’t move as quickly. Much like information, good news rarely travels as quickly as bad news. With Gemini being an air sign possessing the qualities of natural objectivity and emotional detachment, it could be a great time to take the time to have patient yet remarkably thorough conversations that help clear up any confusion that may exist in any matters at hand. This conjunction can bring positive communicative energy to interactions of all kinds.
The effects of this Mercury-Jupiter conjunction in Gemini will last for another day or two, so make the most of this energy that allows you to choose your own communications adventure.
