Astrology Notes: Mercury:

In Astrology, Mercury, is the planet connected to our thoughts and our communication… Gemini is ruled by this planet, which may explain their chattiness and hours spent on the phone…

Gemini in Mercury will exhibit a strong influence over the natal chart and will likely mean a quick mind and quick wit… words and thoughts may be continuous with a strong desire for variety.

A Taurus Mercury may indicate someone who is slow to think, or who insists on taking their time before making commitments, this does not always have a bearing on the mental capacity to learn, although it may cause some upset in childhood in the early school years. 

It is helpful to be aware of your children’s journey through school, especially during the younger years, if your child appears to be learning things at a slower pace, or is having difficulty in grasping a subject, try encouraging patience, and positive re-enforcement as he/she learns. Be prepared that you may need to assist your child in the beginning and a consultation with his/her teacher may be very beneficial. 

Because Mercury is the planet of communication, when he goes retrograde he can create some havoc in this area… In Astrology, going retrograde means the planet appears to be going backwards in the zodiac. 

Watch for mis-communications, important phone calls, text’s, emails missed, lost, received late, or the content misunderstood.

It is advisable to wait out the Mercury Retrograde before signing important papers or making long-term commitments, if this is unavoidable you are advised to read very carefully all the conditions relating to the signing or commitment. 

Those with Gemini in Mercury, Gemini Sun, or Gemini Moon may be affected more during a Mercury Retrograde.
