About Mercury

Mercury is your mind in motion: how you take things in, talk, text, plan and argue. It's also the planet of errands, emails and that list on the back of an envelope. When Mercury passes through a house, conversations, paperwork and second thoughts pile up there. Good for sorting things out, less good for making your mind up quickly.

About Gemini

Gemini is curiosity on legs: chatty, quick and always halfway through three conversations. It learns by asking and stays young by never settling on one answer. At its best, Gemini makes everything more interesting, including you. Watch for scattered energy and a habit of leaving people on read mid-thought.

How long it lasts

Around three weeks in each sign, longer when it goes retrograde (appears to move backwards). Mercury turns retrograde during this stretch, so it spends longer in Gemini than usual and may leave and come back.
