Mercury enters Gemini on May 11th. Mercury is empowered in the sign it rules, which means rapid communication and the influx of new information/choices will be enhanced. This is a prime influence for learning more and making new connections at top speed.

This transit can introduce new and interesting facts, but it will be difficult to focus on one thing as more new facts continually come at you. The duality of situations and stories will be emphasized – there’s always another side, but is it true? Maybe, maybe not. Layers of truth will be revealed – Mercury in Gemini is not straightforward. Misunderstandings and incorrect classifications will run rampant. Nonetheless, Mercury is at its sharpest and most flexible in this sign. Excellent for leaps of logic, mastery of words and following trails of info that lead you to some very interesting places.

This is the planet/sign combo of the magician or trickster, depending on how the energy is used. Words can be used to distract from the truth or open your eyes to previously unrealized truths that will transform your world.

Mercury rules the transiting North Node in Gemini, so activation of your path forward will be enhanced. Pay attention to random messengers who direct your attention to crucial details. A one-off meeting (even a Twitter exchange) can open some important doors. And above all, keep questioning, talking and looking at the choices – you have options.
