Mercury in Gemini in the BirthChart

People with Mercury in Gemini tend to be intensely curious: they want to know everything about everything! The problem is that they must avoid wanting to learn too many things simultaneously, thus dividing their attention very often. This means they do not continue with many of their projects. That is, they end up starting everything and finishing almost nothing!

 

When this tendency is taken to extremes, it makes these people talk about various subjects but not master any of them in depth. Another problem may be their indecisiveness, since for them, it is possible to consider any situation from many points of view. Thus, they often change their minds, which can confuse others. For this reason, it is not uncommon for them to earn a reputation as people who are volatile or just a flash in the pan.

 

A brilliant mind

 

Only Mercury in Aquarius can match this position about mental originality. The inventive minds of people with this positioning can discover new and surprising solutions to problems and emergencies.

 

These people need a good education as they grow up to use their intellectual capacity better. This position is common among scientists, mathematicians, IT experts and computer science professionals, secretaries, designers, writers, reporters, journalists, teachers and speakers.

 

If Mercury is tense in Gemini, there can be endless talk about trivial matters. This positioning in their charts inclines these people from deviating from their goals and losing their primary focus. This is precisely what we have already said about wanting to learn a lot rather than delving into anything or starting and not finishing projects.

 

People with a well-developed position of Mercury in Gemini are capable of profound logical and scientific thinking. They are generally knowledgeable about many subjects and can communicate easily, quickly and accurately in speaking and writing. They usually deal with symbols and puzzles well and have an excellent vocabulary, which is one of the secrets of their ability to communicate and express themselves so well.

 

Lots, lots of information...

 

People with this position have susceptible nervous systems, which makes it more challenging to keep out external stimuli. All the talk and activity around them is recorded with intensity and vividness in their minds. This makes them have to deal with many thoughts and impressions simultaneously.

 

Their agile mind can register two impressions or have two thoughts almost simultaneously. However, their nerves can be destroyed if they are subjected to busy and complex environments for a long time. This may give rise to their getting tired, confused and irritated.

 

They, therefore, need periods of isolation to calm down and focus their mind. However, Mercury is home in Gemini, the sign of its natural ruling planet. If this position has favorable aspects, pure thought processes and logical reasoning can be developed to the height of expressiveness.
