How Mercury in Gemini is read
Mercury in Gemini is traditionally read as gathering and connecting information quickly and communicating well in speech and writing. It is broadly curious. Gemini is a Mercury-ruled sign.
Dignity
Traditional astrology rates how comfortably each planet works in each sign (essential dignity). For Mercury, Gemini is domicile (rulership): the planet's nature comes through directly.
In Vedic astrology (Jyotish)
Jyotish calls Gemini Mithuna. Because it divides the zodiac by the stars (sidereal), a Western Mercury at Gemini 0° to about 24° is in Taurus (Vrishabha) in Jyotish. Reading both systems side by side shows different sides of the same person.
