↳ mercury in gemini: the master thread

Mercury is ruled by Gemini and Virgo, meaning that Gemini Mercury ppl are particularly at home within how they perceive the world around them and can compute this into engaging with others. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that this doesn't come with challenges.

Mercury in Gemini people are sharp-witted and eccentric. They are the people with photographic memories, that might be processing five different pieces of information at the same time. They might appear a bit lost or somewhere far away. Yet, still present within the moment.

They are constantly trying to evolve and dismantle their own perception so that they can advance in better or more solidified understandings of who they are or what they want to know. The problem with Gemini Mercury ppl is that they expect themselves to compute information (1/2)

faster than computers, and have to often be reminded they are not machines but humans. If they could, they'd implant microchips in their skulls to rid themselves of having to be "flawed with humanity" but in the meantime - you might notice them always carrying a large coffee.

They need to learn to be more patient with themselves, and that the things that take time to understand - aren't always bad investments. Their time is precious, and if they can't do something quickly - they might struggle to want to do it at all.

However, these are our biggest dreamers and innovators in society. These are the people that forget to sleep because they're building worlds inside their heads that they want to build into realities for the rest of us who just can't move as quickly as they do.

So if you have a Gemini Mercury person in your life, encourage them to rest. Or cut back on their caffeine, ask if they've had enough water (because they probably haven't). It's not that they are absent-minded or uncaring - it's that they are lightyears ahead of us all in thought
