Mercury re-enters Gemini on June 13th at exactly 10:27 am CDT and will stay here until July 4th. It’s time again to re-focus our communication style towards being more curious and adaptable. Give your brain a bit of a break - let it jump from thought to thought, let it play with new ideas, and most importantly, let it be open to learning.
Mercury in Gemini loves facts and information. It can’t get enough, actually, so we may find ourselves searching for more and more information, taking for granted that will lead us to the answers we seek. And often it does, but let’s not assume fact-gathering sessions give us the whole story. I think we will figure out rather quickly during the Full Moon on June 14th that we must synthesize all that information into something more significant if we want to find the answers we seek.
On June 19th Mercury connects with Jupiter. Look for an opportunity to put what you’ve learned or figured out into action. Use what you know and put it to good use.
Then on June 26th, Mercury connects with Chiron. Find a chance to work through an emotional wound with a conversation or by shifting your perspective.
Mercury connects pleasantly with Saturn on July 1st. Try to approach matters intellectually around this time. Rely on reason and wisdom to improve your mindset, and consider how your decision-making affects your long-term outcomes.
Finally, on July 2nd Mercury squares off with Neptune. Again we may be confronted with the realization that information alone can’t always give us the whole story. Remember to listen to your intuition and instincts.
Over the next three weeks, I want us to remember that our minds have two levels - conscious and unconscious. If we spend all our time on one level, we are missing what we could learn from the other. So turn your conscious brain off sometimes! When our conscious minds are dimmed, we can give more energy and power to our subconscious, so it can do what it does best. And I promise that your subconscious has a lot of helpful information and ideas in there. We often do our best thinking when we are not thinking at all.
