Mercury of Gemini qualities is rather fun, open but very dualistic and socially calculated location which places importance on communications and intellectual experience.

In the rush to mentalise and compartmentalise everything, there's a certain tendency to jump to conclusions without taking enough care in the examination of the little gray details. They want to understand things unequivocally, so they often look at it in blacks and whites, and may occasionally demonise people they don't understand.

The mind can become overactive and can cause difficulty in relaxing, certainly when there's much going on in their lives. Taurus influences can help soothe the mind a bit.

When Mercury is in this sign it makes the mind quite dynamic, but the memory is also less exacting, and there is some tendency to alter the original story in a way that is more appealing. This is not necessarily a deliberate process, but is more of the way they store things in their own memory. This makes them natural story-tellers, but makes it that much less reliable. In a negative chart, it can make them natural liars. When the Sun in in Taurus the fundamental values tend to be more traditional, which can aleviate some of this.
