now listening: fast as you can - fiona apple
*Mercury is in Gemini, I’m only going to write this for the length of the song Fast As You Can by Fiona Apple* press play now.
Wow ~ Fiona filmed this in the same LA train station I use quite frequently. A connection. A memory. I feel closer to her. This feels fitting because when Mercury is in Gemini it notices everything. It sparks the memories, it adds to the story. Alsoooo sometimessss it can miss some details teehee but that’s ok! Because if it was important enough to be noticed it would have shown itself, right?! Duality, babyyyy. Mercury is in Gemini so it’s time to connect the dots and prioritize what keeps grabbing your attention.
Mercury will enjoy a short stint in its home sign of Gemini until June 17th. While we have our planet of communication + mental processing in a sign that likes to go fast, let’s work with that! For the next few weeks, follow your gut instinct. Your first impulse may be the right one. Keep a notepad near the shower. Voice memo those sparks of an idea while you’re on a long drive. Damn, that sounds like some goodass Gemini in Mercury times. Try itttttt! You may even feel inclined to wander for wander's sakes, so your brain has the space to create something out of nothing.
That’s one side of the twin Gemini duo. The twin that is out to go, do, try. Then there’s the other twin, they’re the one that’s not afraid to change their mind. It’s a no from me dog. Maybe that impulse choice ~at first~ seemed great, you gave it a try, only to learn it’s not for you. Tried it, hated it, next! That’s AMAZING. THAT’S SOME GEMINI COURSE OF ACTION. We are going to gather and collect so much info so we know what we want to keep and what we want to get rid of. Gemini Mercury can be a prolifically expressive transit, so take this time to play around. Write that first draft. Try moving your bed to a different spot in your room. Gemini is mutable air, flowing with the breeze. Dare I say…winds of change? Le corny but le accurate.
Sometimes there’s this idea that Gemini twin energy is always about being with others, but it’s really about being with ourselves. The greatest relationship we have is the relationship with self. The joy of life is getting to know ourselves even better. Gemini shows us if you love the world you’re building, it’s hard to be bored or lonely, even if you’re physically on your own.
Wow that new song Run Your Mouth by The Marías is next on shuffle. Perfect follow-up song. The YouTube algorithm gods have blessed me. Damn the softclub style / visual aesthetics of this video are right up my alley. I’m inspired. This song title also feels appropriate ~run your mouth~ lmao open that throat chakra! If it feels scary to speak on it, practice by talking more to yourself, even in private.

Love you, bless you, twin time!
This resonated. Time with self, the contrast of what doesn't work, using your voice. Planning on doing lots of throat chakra work this Gemini season!
