Mercury in Gemini

Mercury is at home in Gemini: the mind is quick, agile, verbal and endlessly curious. It collects facts, jokes, languages and acquaintances, and connects them at speed. Speech is fluent and plentiful. The weakness is depth — many topics, fewer conclusions — and a nervous energy that needs an outlet. The work is to finish the thought and to let silence be part of the conversation.

In plain words

Mercury stands for how you think and talk. In Gemini, that works in a Gemini way: curious, chatty and restless. You want to know a little about everything and talk it through.
