With Sun in Gemini since 5/21, perhaps you have merrily skipped from cell phone to magazine to email and back again. And since speedy Gemini  loves the variety, sometimes you've read your emails while talking to your best friend (I won't tell), or played a computer game and watched a movie at the very same time. And the super-Mercuried (this has nothing to do with fish) among us pull off the occasional triple - that would be talking on the cell phone while checking email and reading a book, all the while maintaining cognition and coherence.

However, even the quick minded may have noticed a shift as of last Monday eve on Memorial Day. Instead of another chat on the cell phone, you are looking up a recipe for dinner. Rather than read another book, it feels like time for a bath. A few choice words said with feeling count for a hundred witty nothings. What has happened?

Mercury, ruling prince of Gemini, moved into Cancer, sign of deep feeling. What is Cancer about? I always return to my favorite source, the Odyssey, yet no need to repeat here. New readers can check out the Cancer chapter to see if themes resonate. If so, they will only increase in coming weeks with Mercury stationing in Cancer (2 months + in the crab!) and then Sun following into the depths on the solstice.

The special talents of Mercury in Cancer: perfectly planned menus, caring for others with your words, having wonderful ideas percolate up from your belly, and a rich creativity born of intuitive insight.

The drawback - your mind can be a big puddle when emotional storms drench the brain circuitry responsible for logic.

Here are some assorted (Gemini) tidbits to nurture the feeling mind (Mercury in Cancer).

If it's intelligent astro depth you seek, those well chosen words with feeling, I most enthusiastically recommend the Moonkissd site of my friend Jessica. Celebrities, travel, books and readings, she has it all!

And yet if you have had moments where your mind has become the puddle; or perhaps you are the type of person who might enjoy a sumptuous blend of relaxation, spa treatment, therapy and meditation all combined into 1 hour - I also give big thumbs up to Float Matrix here in SF. The care and integrity of owner and proprietor Kane shows with each well placed slipper, and especially comes through his warm and direct gaze you will get no matter how your nerves have frazzled or shoulders have tensed. He knows - just float, and you'll come out with all edges smoothed, skin pure and mind supple. If you go please do me a favor and tell him Jonathan the astrologer sent you!

Your scribe the astrologer, is, dare i say, smoking Wall Street with recent market forecasts. The market is a wild beast, though, and I've already learned that it will allow a streak but will find a way to keep me humble. Check out results here - swing trading results are easiest to see. Ps, due to successful stock market calls and clients interested in financial work availability for other personal readings is now extremely limited.
