At 3:27 am PDT on June 11, Mercury entered Gemini, one of its home signs making it very powerful through early July. This ends the 2 month long Taurus backdrop to planets and houses we have in Gemini and Virgo, and brings Air to the forefront of those planetary Lights and life houses.

This should bring a quickening to all things related to Mercury in our charts. Because it is still accelerating since its last retrograde, it will bring speed to our ability to coordinate things, discover things, give and receive information, and see things from multiple points of view. It is now the final dispositor to all the other planets except Neptune, and continues in this role until the Solstice when the Sun enters Cancer.

The rest of June should see things unfold at a very fast pace as Mercury moves through Gemini with great speed. It then enters Cancer on June 26 after which it will be ruled by the ever changing Moon. As it’s still catching up to the Sun, it is the planet which “leads the Light,” showing that a prerequisite to “enlightened action” at this time involves discovering the new information or perspective we need to make things real.

We’re in a time of opening to new things through the Solstice, and then either sharing with others or having information shared with us. This will shift when Mercury enters Cancer, when we’ll have to have a more caring view of things as we come to the next “fusion of Life and Mind” at the next Superior conjunction on June 30/July 1 at 10 Cancer.

Remember that it has just shown us a primary theme of 2023, which is “the old answers can’t solve the current questions” and old approaches won’t necessarily get the job done. Still, we’ll be getting very fast experience of Mercury through mid-July, after which it’ll rapidly slow down and enter its next shadow zone on August 3, preparing to go stationary retrograde at 22 Virgo on August 23.

For now, face forward, prepare to accelerate many Mercury-related things through mid-July, and then get everything in order, since once Mercury begins to slow down in its shadow zone we’ll begin to feel the retrograde effect. I’ll write more about that in late July.
