MERCURY ENTERS GEMINI AND GOES OOB Mentally instable? Mercury enters one of the signs that it rules on the 11th June and goes OOB on the 24th remaining in this condition until the 7th July. Mercury is obviously in his element here, a rational and agile thinker open to new ideas and experimentations, puns and intellectual flexibility are also part of the game although Mercury is also the prankster of the zodiac and here words could be used to alter the truth in some way! The OOB status could make this planet very versatile indeed with great curiosity and a real talent for the [...]
SLOW AND STEADY WHEN MERCURY RIDES THE BULL…. Mercury enters Taurus on the 3rd of April. Mercury in this Fixed, Earth sign can be associated with common sense, down-to-earth thinking and practical intelligence with an eye on security and self-worth issues. When contrasted in the natal chart, he could turn narrow-minded, stubborn, inflexible and suspicious of new ideas and theories. In all cases he takes his time to make decisions but once made they usually become irrevocable. Mercury transits are fast. However, this stay in Taurus will last just over two months due to the retrograde [...]
MERCURY ENTERS ARIES Forget those sweet words and dreamy thoughts now it’s time to defend our views and follow through with our plans in a “no holds barred” manner.

Mercury will conjoin Jupiter (18°13’) on the 27-28 March – plan ahead but don’t be sloppy and read all the fine print before signing anything important! Artwork: myskypie2023 [...]
MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT IN CAPRICORN Mercury stations direct at 08°08’ Capricorn (antiscion 21°52’ Sagittarius), the second planet this month to do so. Mercury is stationing exactly quincunx Mars (which stationed direct on the 12th of this month) and they have mutual reception (Mercury is in the sign of exaltation of Mars and Mars is ruled by Mercury). Quincunxes are “frustrating” aspects that demand action to be resolved. Anger and irritation may be the theme of the moment but the mutual reception between these planets means that they will help each other to find a solution.[...]
Mentally unstable? Mercury enters one of the signs that it rules on the 3-4th May (depending on your time zone) and goes OOB at 5°34’ of the sign on the 7th remaining in this condition until the 30th of May when it will be at 24° 43’ Gemini just after stationing retrograde the previous day. Mercury is obviously in his element here, a rational and agile thinker open to new ideas and experimentations, puns and intellectual flexibility are also part of the game although Mercury is also the prankster of the zodiac and here words could be used to alter the truth in some way!

In all cases he takes his time to make decisions but once made they usually become irrevocable. Mercury transits are fast.
