Mercury entered its home sign of Gemini at 3:16p PDT on Tuesday, 6th June 2017. Now in familiar and comfortable territory, Mercury can be its swift thinking, fast talking, quick-witted best.
That said, information will be furiously flying through the airwaves, the internet, and therefore, into people’s ears and out of people’s mouths. It seems most everyone is trying to be in the know, and everyone else is trying to get their versions of events and their stories and accounts out into the ears, eyes, and minds of those who want to know. There’s a race to plant seeds for their ideologies and perspectives to take root in the popular consciousness.
Yet with the over-abundance of information, people are also becoming more discerning. Under the presence of the Gemini 7 Sun, people are actually trying to slow down the rushing rapids of information coming downstream. They’re actually trying to filter through everything coming at them to figure out what is really factual and true. This was especially the case on 8th June as the Sagittarius Moon began moving into position for the Full Moon on the 9th – people didn’t just want information; they wanted information that was factually and actually true.
But in order to figure out what is real and true, they needed to be able to filter through everything coming at them. Were they able to keep up with the flow then? And can they keep up with the flow now?
Were you able to keep up with the flow, and are you able to keep up with the flow now?
Most people won’t be able to keep up with this 2017 Mercury in Gemini, and as result, they may become detached and disinterested. It’s simply too much coming too fast, and people want more time to process but aren’t getting that time and space to do so. As result, they may simply check out, paying little or no attention to most of the information being presented to them.
There’s pros and cons to this detachment and disinterest:
- On one hand, it’s great because those saying things for attention’s sake may quiet down.
- On the other, this could also be a time when people miss critical information and communications because they simply cannot review or cover everything.
Yet there will be some people will be able to keep up with the rapid pace of Mercury in Gemini, and they’ll be among the first to begin making sense of all the seemingly unrelated streams of information. They’ll begin noticing the rhythms, patterns, and purposes; figuring out the mind games being played.
The most important thing to know about this 2017 Mercury in Gemini period is that you will be responsible for how you choose to communicate during this time, and you may be held accountable for how and what you choose to (and not to) communicate as well. It may be easy to say anything or nothing in order to sway things to go the way you want them to go in the moment… until you realize that your words may have turned matters in the opposite direction from how you want them to go. Instead of trying to be witty or trying to outsmart others, be honest and direct. Honesty and directness may return your best results in the long run.
It will also serve you well to ask serious questions and give serious attention to the answers you are given. Also pay attention to the information being communicated to you and around you, and take time to process what is coming through.
