Hello Mercury, OH I mean Gemini, sorry. These two energies seem to be almost the same. Mercury, being the ruler of Gemini, is such a great guy to have in charge of this elusive sign. You never seem to be able to pin these characters down to one train of thought. They have so many thoughts you know. Never at a loss for words they can be utterly charming one minute and the next discussing the origin of time. Their minds are like quicksilver ever changeable and intriguing yet can get down to basics easily.

Gemini is the first of the air signs and as such likes to soar above the rest of us into the higher realm of ideas and thoughts. They are in love with words. Ideas for the sake of ideas and communication is great for these light-hearted souls. Mercury in mythology is known as the trickster, and like him, these happy-go-lucky guys seem to have that trait also. They make great storytellers for all ages alike ... love them. Gemini is a dual sign meaning that they see two sides of situations often unable to discern which would benefit them in the outcome.

Gemini rules the lungs, shoulders, hands arms, and nervous system. Notice that there are two of everything except the nervous system, exemplifying the duality of their sign, yet again. Being natural communicators, they need human contact to make their known to others as viable. They are the namers, the wisdom seekers, the magician and poet. The often feel lonely as they travel so fast that they hardly light and take root anywhere. The biggest growth for them is to stick to the things that they set into motion ... You know relationships, jobs, and projects. Once the glamour has gone, and so too often are the Gemini. They seem like a butterfly as they flit around one thing after another. If something bores the Gemini then they are gone like the wind. If you want to deal with them it is necessary to appeal to them through their logical mind. They like their drama mentally and not emotionally. If you go through the emotional body then they are gone very quickly, as this is just too frightening for them to handle. Emotions throw them into a tailspin that they just cannot abide.

These quick-witted souls make great teachers, writers, reporters and salesman due to their facility for communication. If we know any young Gemini's then we know that if they talk about something then they think that they have already done it. They are really that triple minded. Thoughts equal action being accomplished. What fun.

Wouldn't it be great to have that happen in real time. We could just sit around and think and the world would be a better place. Love that thought. Can you tell I identify with Gemini?

Getting to their flirtatious nature ... This is where you can see the artist at work. They are the best of the best of flirts, as this is their nature, to be at play with another. Leading the friend down the garden path of surprise and wonder at what we will find at the end of the journey. This is their meat and potatoes. Oh how they love this part of their lives. If they had their way, then they would flirt, talk, and communicate their joy at life. Sounds like a plan.

What the Planets are Doing...

Hang on to your hats as this is the beginning of the summer we will never forget. The Sun moving into Gemini will give us to opportunity to get some insight into our lives so we can see where we are going.

May 22nd Jupiter opposes Saturn so we can get our finances in order as we want to go for the gusto. But Saturn says look carefully and don't step on any pebbles along the way.

On May 27th the Full Moon Uranus enters Aries. Pisces is celebrating. We can feel like a loose canon if we let this energy take over or we can just sit and watch others go nuts. High energy, as Uranus (unexpected chaos) in Mars sign( the warrior). Do you think that the war could escalate?

June 5th Jupiter moves into Aries and hangs out with Uranus for about a month. A genuine due of dynamic energy. Jupiter (expansion) Uranus (chaos). Who could ask for anything more? As they now are living in Aries we can see how the world at large deals with this dynamic energy. And yet the best is yet to come next month.

Mars leaves Leo and moves into Virgo. Mars is not terribly happy in this thought-oriented sign, so watch out as he might just disturb your ideas about something important to you. However, in the beginning of this energy pattern Mars will be in a difficult aspect to Uranus and Jupiter so we can just sit down and watch the fur fly.

Mercury moves into Gemini on June 9th. Such fun as we can all just go thought crazy. Can you see it with the Sun and Mercury in Gemini where thoughts rule. You might want to stay indoors on the 10th of June as there are so many aspects that it will be hard for us to get a handle on our duties. Just kidding. There are really a lot of aspects that day.

The new Moon is on June 12th. Don't forget to write your goals. Please make a note on your refrigerator as by the time this rolls around you will have forgotten to write your goals. So much Mercury and not enough Saturn.

June 14th Venus takes leave of Cancer and moves into Leo. She isn't terribly happy here, but loves the attention she can manage to inspire here. It is also Flag Day. Fathers Day falls on June 20th. Honor him in the same manner that he honored you. Enough said. Be nice anyhow. Get ready for next month.
