Mercury resumed direct apparent motion this morning to begin 12 days of learning. Today’s direct station concluded Mercury’s slowest retrograde of the year, 24 days to retreat less than 10 degrees.
Now, Mercury will continue its pedantic trend by taking 12 more days to traverse the last 6 degrees of Gemini for the third time in less than two months, to challenge and (potentially) reward you.
If you have ever had the experience of seeing a movie, reading a poem, or taking instruction on the same material three times in succession you know both the challenge and the reward.
The challenge is to be patient, both with yourself and the material. The reward, at least potentially, is to thoroughly understand and master what you have been repeatedly exposed to — if you can handle the challenge.
Because Mercury rules Gemini, it’s emblematic correspondence to mind, intellect and communication is well expressed while moving through mutable air. Hence, the learning you receive between now and July 13 (when Mercury enters Cancer for the second time in less than two months) promises to be both thorough and useful.
