Mercury has just ingressed its home sign of Gemini, except that it is also grinding to a halt in preparation for its retrograde on 6 May in 1+° Gemini.
Mercury is chatty and curious in Gemini, ideas come fast and furious, fuelling many an intellectual adventure. From Stephen Arroyo once again, Mercury in Gemini can be interpreted as such:
- Communicates fluently, quickly, cleverly, and intelligently — sometimes superficially
- Urge to express perceptions immediately
- Needs to learn through establishing and identifying connections among people and ideas
- Changeably curious mind expresses itself through friendly interactions with others and through endless questions
- High level of nervous energy is expressed through talking, writing, or other forms of manual/mental dexterity (62–63)
As Mercury slows to a stop, however, these qualities can feel blocked, or at the very least, weighed down. Much patience is required.
