Mercury in Gemini: Can You Just Hear the Twitter?

Wired and Twittering

There’s no better image of Mercury in Gemini than twittering birds, and it’s no coincidence that we now have Twitter on Real Astrologers.

Mercury in Gemini is tailor-made for Twitter, the new way to keep track of friends and family. The messages are short, sweet, and not too deep.

Even though Neptune has turned Direct, it will take some time for the illusive One to pick up speed. And Mercury is now at a virtual standstill until it turns Direct tomorrow. I feel like I’m hanging in midair turning slowly but it’s just a strange feeling, not a bad one.

Neptune is stationing within a degree of exactly squaring my Mars, so by the end of the year, he’ll be back to making me feel like I’m off balance again. It’s all about having faith as in the Fool tarot card when dealing with Neptune. Like that’s [...]
