The BIG NEWS today is Mercury in Taurus squares Mars in Aquarius causing communication to be a bit aggressive and intellectually egotistical. The best way to handle this is to not go there in the first place. There could be insinuations and undertones that sound outright LOUD, when you think you are playing it low key. Nope! Everyone hears the irritation in your voice or what you are not really saying. It's heard loud and clear.

The best way to handle tough communication is to just listen. Let the other person just unload and let them get tongue tied and twisted. It's amazing how much you can learn from listening and if there is any sign that knows how to listen and listen well, it's a Gemini. This Mercury placement will move out of Taurus in 2-1/2 after this square to Mars and move into its home placement of Gemini. As this transition is occurring, takes notes and keep your mouth shut. Mercury rules the mind and the mind is very busy with this aspect, which can result in difficulty concentrating due to so many thoughts and ideas. This makes you overly talkative where you lose sight of the essence of the conversation or what you were saying. In other words, you might be talking so much you end up saying, "Oh, I forgot what I was saying." You want to say as much as you can before you forget what you were going to say, which leads you away from the topic of conversation and down a different path of discussion. Mercury also rules the nervous system, which can make you nervous if you are talking or if you called up to speak.

About 2-1/2 hours after the square above, Mercury will move into Gemini, it's home placement where it is quite comfortable and relaxed. Mercury in Gemini says, "Now watch the professional speak! Let me show you how it's done. Sit back and watch the master communicator." While this placement may be talkative and have a million things going on, you can bet that Mercury in Gemini will be listening to everything, even listening to what is going on in the next room.

Keep in mind that Mercury in Gemini is juggling a million things at once and doing it well. This is the placement of the salesperson, marketeer and promoter. Make certain you sell yourself, promote yourself and market yourself well during this time. This transit of Mercury in Gemini will last until May 28, 2020. Step on the gas!
