A Middle Way — Mercury’s Ingress to Gemini

Mercury enters Gemini at 10:57 am EDT tomorrow. This particular ingress to one of the two signs ruled by Mercury (the other is Virgo) appears to favor a middle way when thinking and speaking.

In addition, Mercury’s apparent motion has just started to slow down after recently exceeding a clip of two zodiac degrees per day.

Besides anticipating another Mercury retrograde (beginning at 3+ Cancer on June 7), deceleration advises a trend towards circumspection regarding versatile Mercury’s earthly corollaries — thinking and speaking among them.

Finally, there is the matter of what aspects Mercury will make immediately after having crossed into mutable air. The first such aspect — a conjunction with asteroid 10 Hygiea just across Gemini’s threshold — will be essentially concurrent with both Mercury and Hygiea having opened a square (separation of 90 zodiac degrees) from centaur object Nessus. Nessus is hovering just inside of Pisces.

All in all, it’s a busy day for Mercury tomorrow, probably indicating the same for you. Which is all the more reason to manage your mind and mouth well.
