IT’S OVER! The dreaded (or for some, welcomed) Mercury Retrograde ended earlier this morning, Tuesday, 1st July 2014 at 5:50a PDT in the sign of Gemini. Now in direct motion in its sign of rulership, Mercury is happy to be at home in its element of quick-moving intellect and information for the next 12 days before moving into the emotionally nurturing sign of Cancer on 12th July.
Of course, just like anything changing direction, there is a bit of a pause before things are going full speed ahead. Even though Mercury in Gemini is now direct, things may still be a bit slow for a day or two more before suddenly increasing their rate of motion into a fast-moving stream of mental and communicative activity. Take advantage of the (very brief) momentary lull.
If you tend to lag behind when things really get moving, this first day or two of Mercury Direct in Gemini may be your chance to get ahead of the fast pace. Take this time to plant some intellectual seeds through your communications with others. Putting some ideas and thoughts in the ears and minds of others now may be advantageous in the long run as you see how they move forward from here.
If you generally tend to rush things, be patient! You may be rushing things ahead of their time if you’re too eager now. In fact, this slow start to Mercury Direct in Gemini may end up being a case of “be careful what you wish for” as you may find things moving faster than even you want them to over the next week or so. You won’t be able to put the genie back in the bottle once it’s out and moving, so take a deep breath before you say anything. Be conscious of what you’re starting now.
For everyone, these 12 days of Mercury Direct in Gemini swiftness are sure to bring forth a lot of ideas and information very quickly and with remarkable ease. Hold on to your hats and do your best to keep up. Most important, recognize the power of an open mind and an open mouth during this time. Your thoughts and words have power – choose them and use them wisely.
Thanks for reading and sharing Signs and Numbers. Until next post…
