What Mercury does in a chart

Mercury is the part of the chart that answers one question:How do I process and explain things? It describes thinking and talking — not events, and not outcomes.

What Gemini does to it

Gemini is a air sign, so it moves on ideas and conversation. It is also mutable, which means it adapts things. Put those together with Mercury and you get thinks in connections — curious, verbal, restless, applied specifically to thinking and talking.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, so this placement tends to be coloured by thinking and talking as well.

The useful version

Is your Mercury actually in Gemini?

Mercury moves at its own pace and does not follow your sun sign. The only way to know is to calculate the chart.
