Mercury enters Gemini, its own sign, Sunday 11th June 2023 12.26 BST

Chatty planet enters chatty sign. It’s no surprise that British comedian Alan Carr presenter of the TV show ‘Chatty Man’ has Mercury in Gemini along with the Sun and Venus! 

This is a move that should speed things up. Mercury in Gemini thinks quickly, communicates quickly and is light on its feet. Communication should now flow more freely. You might feel like meeting up with friends, writing a journal, article or even starting that book you’ve been thinking about. You’ll want to stay informed and catch up on any news stories you missed while Mercury waded through practical Taurus. You’ll probably feel more alert.

This is a quicksilver trickster planet and you may be more changeable, adaptable, restless and moody now Mercury’s in its own sign. You’ll definitely want company, will expect to be entertained by witty conversation and might surprise yourself with your inclination to gossip.

It’s not a great placement for decisions, however, as there’s always more information to be gathered before conclusions can be reached.

Moments before moving into Gemini, Mercury makes a trine to Pluto which returned to Capricorn less than an hour before. So, the Pluto power sweeps in from the Earth element and you might get one final piece of news about property, business, finance or even nature as Mercury leaves Taurus and our communication planet is blown away on a rush of information and chatter. 

Mercury is an inner planet so stays close to the Sun in the birth chart. For this reason, Gemini Sun people often have Mercury here too. These double Geminis are the people who really know how to communicate; the expert wordsmiths who use language as easily and fluently as they breathe – Russell Brand is a great example. 

Anne Frank, whose ‘Diary of a Young Girl’ has given us unique insight into the everyday life of a young teenager hiding for two long, fearful years in an Amsterdam attic, also had Sun and Mercury in Gemini. She fervently hoped to become a writer and her diary, published in 1947, three years after her death in Bergen-Belsen, fulfilled that wish.
