Mercury in Gemini: Double-Talk

Posted By admin 5:30am GMT

The gift of gab is yours for the taking! Communicator Mercury enters its home sign of Gemini this week, staying until June 7. Our minds should be sharp and clear, and we’ll bandy about some interesting new ideas. This is a great time to build your own communication skills. Practice dialogue and “mirroring” (reflecting back what the other person said). Before you launch into a long-winded speech, make sure the other person is engaged and “gets” your point. Gemini rules the hands, so quiet your restless mind with crafts, playing an instrument or making a DIY project.

Memorial Weekend Forecast: Talk Time

Posted By admin 5:30am GMT

Fire up those coals and let the chitchat begin: A social Memorial Day weekend is in store. The Sun, talkative Mercury and social Venus are all in Gemini, ruler of communication. It's the perfect time to gather with an eclectic group of family and friends. With Venus retrograde (moving backward), we'll need to watch our social graces (no fair taking all the best cuts of meat or holding forth with a mouthful of potato salad, buddy). However, retrogrades are a great time to connect with the past. Perfect timing for anyone heading back to a hometown for a reunion.
