Mercury in Gemini

Mercury in Gemini...

When Mercury is in its own sign of Gemini, a person has the ability to think quickly and with agility. They communicate clearly and speak succinctly. They enjoy speaking and using language as a skill. They see words as a tool to move through life. They can talk their way out of problems, sway opinions, gain information, pass on information or even trick people. Anything involving words interests them including reading and writing.

Mercury in Gemini learns quickly and easily follows logic, but they bore easily, so they have difficulty paying attention and following through on drawn out projects. Anything fast-paced is better suited for them.

The same is true when they are in the position of teacher or when they are passing on information in any way. Listen closely because they will dispense the information quickly and won't have the patience to back up for you. Knowing a little about a lot is a common theme for those with this position. They are curious people with a low threshold for boredom, so they find it difficult to focus on anything long enough to learn it really well. However, their curiosity leads them from thing to thing and their interest helps them retain an amazing amount of knowledge.

Most of it is trivia-type knowledge, but as they acquire more and more of it, they have a knack for putting it all together and gaining a sort of wisdom about how the world operates. They truly enjoy figuring things out, and see life as a sort of puzzle. They pull bits of information from everywhere and enjoy putting it all together. They ask questions, dig for information and do a lot of observing. For those with Mercury in Gemini, life seems to operate as a logical system that never fails to intrigue them.

Although they have an opinion about everything, nothing is so firmly decided that they aren't willing to consider changing their minds. In fact, if a

logical reason is presented to a Mercury in Gemini person to convince them that an opinion of theirs is faulty, they won't hesitate to change their minds. This willingness to listen to arguments and weigh the facts is a welcomed trait for many of those who enjoy a good debate. This position enjoys a good battle of the wits, and their ability to pull obscure facts from the far reaches of their memory makes them excellent verbal jousters.

They are accurate and precise, keeping all emotion out of their communication. The facts are all that matter. They don't let emotion cloud things. For this reason, Mercury in Gemini people can seem a bit cold and emotionless. Their focus on accuracy over feelings makes them say things without considering how they will be received. The less sensitive and emotional signs usually find them interesting, but those whose feelings are hurt easily will often find them curt and rude.
