With Mercury in Gemini from May 25th, 2025 until June 8th, 2025, and everything is sped up considerably – now we are thinking quickly, talking quickly, and not being too bothered whether what we say is actually true or not!

Mercury in astrology rules communication and mental processes, and Gemini energy is fast-moving, curious, intellectual, and communicative.

In fact, “mercurial” is a good way to describe Gemini, and Mercury, of course, is Gemini’s ruling planet.

A transit of Mercury through Gemini, then, is extremely Gemini-like in nature – expect the vibe to be chatty, sociable, light-hearted, flirtatious, and not particularly deep.

Gemini energy in astrology is impulsive and doesn’t care much for pre-planning, so during this transit, making fast decisions tends to work out better than spending ages over-thinking something.

Gemini energy is also highly rational, so try to put emotions to one side and consider the issue solely based on the facts.

The low emotional level of the Mercury in Gemini transit can be a blessing to people facing emotionally difficult situations, as it will be easier to maintain control over your feelings.

A restless curiosity is a hallmark of Gemini as a zodiac sign in astrology, and that’s very true for the Mercury in Gemini transit too.

This is an excellent period for learning or studying, and it’s very easy to get carried away with interesting research or an oddball news story – and before you know it, you’ve uncovered a whole lot of information you can’t believe you didn’t know beforehand!

Mercury always helps us to give a good account of ourselves, so Mercury transiting Gemini is traditionally a good time for job interviews or for seeking a promotion – or even election.

We can tell very persuasive stories at this time, and the advertising and marketing industries tend to benefit well from that.

Gemini has a very youthful energy, and when Mercury is in Gemini, we can expect a youthful vibe overall. However, this energy also works well across the generations, so this transit is wonderful for helping grandparents and grandchildren get the most from one another’s company.

Within families in general, the emphasis is on play and fun, so crack out the traditional board games or challenge each other to some word puzzles.

Because Gemini energy is quite fickle, however, sincerity is not always as easy to find as it might be when Mercury transits Gemini. Everyone is friendly, saying and doing the right thing, but it’s all just a little bit superficial.

Lots of lovely small talk, but very little emotional substance beneath it. In love, especially, it’s important to try harder to be sincere and thoughtful during this transit.

Mercury in Gemini rules the media, and social media too. During this transit, it’s very tempting to over-share somewhat, as communication is in overdrive.

Issues of privacy tend to be disregarded, so do be careful how much you choose to put out there. Don’t necessarily expect other people to keep your secrets either – it can be very hard to resist the urge to kiss and tell when Mercury transits Gemini.

Mercury in Gemini for an Aries (Aries dates: March 20 – April 19)

Mercury in Gemini for a Leo (Leo dates: July 22 – August 21)

Mercury in Gemini for a Scorpio (Scorpio dates: October 23 – November 21)

Mercury in Gemini for an Aquarius (Aquarius dates: January 19 – February 17)

Aquarius, Mercury transits your creative zone now, so if you’re a writer or an artist you can expect the ideas to flow thick and fast. Note, however, that this is not a great time for risk-taking. You may think you’ve analyzed the situation logically, but you’re missing a trick.

Mercury in Gemini for a Pisces (Pisces dates: February 18 – March 19)
