Mercurian

 

Because today is a full moon and the moon is a Libra moon, I decided to balance this and throw up my natal chart.  When I was born on the 2nd of June 1959 in Warwick Qld  / The planets were like this and funnily enough I have both Mercury and the Sun in Gemini on the day of my birth.  Mercury is the ruling planet of Gemini.  Therefore it plays a huge role in how my act is played out on the stage of life and where my strengths and weaknesses are and where I am most appreciated and what I am most suited to in my life's work.

I would say that if you read this, you will know immediately that my natal chart is pretty spot on in the interpretation of the chart itself!  It was interesting to me.  I am going to read and do Montana's now and see just how alike we really are.

On the day and at the time of my birth, the Moon was in the sign of Aries. My imagination is lively and fantastic and brings about periods of enthusiasm during which I am driven by my sudden impulses. My sensitivity lives on thrills that I want to experience in the instant… till exhaustion. My spontaneity is coupled with some instability: Mood swings and whimsical behaviours are the dangers to which my excitability exposes me to. I often show a demeanour that is full of contrasts, especially in my intimate life.  One never gets bored with me, even on a daily basis.

Isn’t real rest about being touched and stimulated, over and over again?  Boredom is what I dread most. 

Therefore, it is easy for me to adjust to precarious life rhythms and to quickly achieve balance, as temporary as it may be, should unforeseen evolution emerge.

Interpretation of the 9° Gemini symbolic degree

"A young woman gives a child a glass of water while a boy helps an old man get on his feet."

Intelligent, devoted, and philanthropist character. Life is dedicated to the alleviation of people's physical and moral sufferings. Adoption is possible. This degree sometimes indicates a medical practitioner, a scientist, a priest, or a patron whose name goes down in history.

What is Mercury in Gemini?

Mercury describes your relations, your communication skills and the way you relate to the external world. However, other astrological elements also influence these areas.
The sign Mercury occupies is significant only if Mercury is part of your planetary dominants. In your chart, Mercury is in Gemini.

You need to know everything about the world around you and you probably want to share the results of your observations with everybody. You have a real gift – or desire – to pass on acquisitions and knowledge.
Your inquiring mind is the drive behind your frequent discussions and your exchanges. You prefer to increase the number of your centres of interest rather than to lock yourself up in an exaggerate specialisation.
But don’t lose sight of the essential thing: your thirst for knowledge may scatter your capacities. Diversification also has its dangers… However, your open-mindedness spares you the traps of cultural discrimination: everything is worth your interest, in principle. Rejecting a foreigner may deprive you of enriching discoveries or assessments. Your strength lies in your ability to broaden your horizon and to know.

Mercury Dominant

The Mercurian tradition points out the importance of communication. From idle but enriching chatters to observation gift.

Such a dominant as Mercury in Gemini endows you with a wide range of expression. Human beings have one thousand facets and one thousand masks they wear according to circumstances and the fortunes of the game of life. You take the role of an observer who is avid for novelties, discoveries, and surprises. 

Everything catches your attention and becomes an opportunity for new encounters, relationships, and learning. The world amazes you, amuses you sometimes, and stimulates your curiosity. Because the most important thing is to discover, and because you consider that each new situation is packed with potentialities, you try to fill the gaps in your knowledge. 

Although your open-mindedness may scatter your centres of interest, it also enables you to carefully avoid sticking to only one immutable and rigid view. The slightest sign enables you to perceive the other side of the coin, as well as the infinite complexity of people and of situations. 

On the human plane, you seek the dialogue and the information without which you know that you are not able to fully grasp the nature of your interlocutor. This keen interest in the Unknown sharpens your inter-relational skills. All these qualities are traditionally associated with Mercury.
If Mercury is part of your natal chart's planetary dominants, in astrology, you are said to be a Mercurian.

Interpretation of the 10° Gemini symbolic degree

"Sheltered under a large rock, a group of bohemians gather around a fire for their meal."

Sensual, caring, and anxious character endowed with a strong concern for the family. Short trips and long journeys play an important part in life. Many changes of residence are caused by professional reasons, exile, or widowhood. The family is the source of the greatest fulfilments, as well as of the most painful sorrows. Success can be achieved in travels and tourism, aviation, or sports competitions.

Sun in Gemini

With your outgoing nature and your inquisitive mind, you are made for communications. Your will to process information endows you with a sociable character, a pleasant and often courteous demeanour. Although there is a danger that you may scatter your energy, you focus your attention on each and every novelty.
Your mobile mind works wonders when your activities demand a variety of capacities. Indeed, how is it possible to discover without searching and to be enriched without interacting?

Gemini’s curiosity offers unlimited perspectives. Are you considered to be superficial? When one is researching, one needs to launch experiments with no other goal than to enlarge one’s horizon.  

Gemini wants to embrace everything because everything may prove useful. This diversification ability is very helpful in relationships.   Chatting always produces something interesting.
You are always comfortable in any communication position. More than anyone, you can leap at an opportunity subtly suggested during a debate. After several trials, you can also uncover solutions that remained unidentified.
However, although diversification is fine, scattering may be risky. Therefore, it is important for you to limit your field of activities and to focus on the pieces already collected, to standardise and to synthesise them.

Sun Dominant

If the Sun is part of your natal chart's planetary dominants, in astrology, you are said to be a Solarian: You loathe pettiness and Machiavellian manoeuvre, and you are fond of natural nobleness as well as of direct and honest attitudes.
You endeavour to get out of muddled or dark situations as quickly as possible. Your need for transparency may lead you to make cut-and-dried judgements such as yes or no, and black or white. However, your honesty commands your entourage's consideration.
At times, you come across as authoritarian. It is true that you never want to be thought of the notable absentee, and that you manage to make people pay attention to you, as well as to your plans and your assessments. To this end, the Solarian sometimes develops a great talent for placing himself under the spotlight without missing a single opportunity to arouse interest.
Some other Solarians, although more discreet, still manage to be the focus of any debate, even in situations of exclusion. It is your way of being present even though you are actually not there... More than other people, you appreciate the esteem extended to you. It is useless to cheat with you, since in all areas you consider establishing enduring relationships only with those who love you, admire you, respect you, or express some degree of affection to you.

Your will to straighten out your inter-personal relationships is your strength and sometimes, your Achilles' heel. You cannot achieve anything behind the scenes. Therefore, your comportment is marked with heroism, and your stands are devoid of ambiguity, in the sense that your commitments are unfailing, and your rebuffs, final.

It represents the boss, authority, beside the father and the husband ; the age of the Sun goes from 20 years old to about 40, following the Venus age when one is aware of his seductive power.
