When so many planetary events happen in such a short amount of time, it’s bound to feel intense, exhausting, even a little wacky. You’ll be able to express yourself to others clearly, and to use language with fun and curiosity and joy. Mercury will only remain in Gemini for about two weeks, but while it’s here, your thinking might snap into focus, sharp and sparkling. Gemini is the natural home of Mercury, one of the signs where it can express its energies most easily and most truly. In particular, Mercury - planet of communication and connection - is moving into curious, social Gemini, which signals great things. Fortunately, some of this week’s change is pretty clearly, straightforwardly positive. Change of any kind tends to be tiring, and right now, we’re being asked to process many types of changes at once. But what, specifically, does all this change mean for us?įirst, when so many planetary events happen in such a short amount of time, it’s bound to feel intense, exhausting, even a little wacky.

Already this month, there’s been a lot happening astrologically. So while January may have held the marquee event of the year on a grand scale, on a personal level, this week might feel as intense, if not more so. Most agreed that the biggest single planetary event of the year would be January’s Saturn-Pluto conjunction - a rare meeting of two of the solar system’s most intense and most powerful planets, bringing with it major changes in the structures our society is built on.
