check out dis article and see what you think about it


In mythology, Mercury was the herald of the gods, having as one of his duties, guiding the souls of the dead down to the underworld. He is represented as an athletic young man, with winged sandals. We see his image used as a symbol for rapid floral deliveries today.

Mercury rules two signs of the zodiac, Gemini and Virgo. Both of these are intellectual signs, though Gemini is of the air element while Virgo is earth. Gemini in particular is associated with the communicative nature of Mercury, to the point where some Geminis are known to have their friends helplessly fleeing from a non-stop barrage of words.

The spiritual nature of Gemini though, is very impressive. We have often seen Geminis as channels or mediums, conveying the words of those beyond our mortal ken. Perhaps more magically however, is the ability that almost any Gemini can manifest, is to be in the right place, at the right time. Perhaps you've encountered one. Sitting at a bus stop, depressed, and the old woman next to you says just the right thing to start you thinking about a new dimension of your life. Or, you could be at a concert and happen to overhear a 'chance' remark from someone whose perception of the music elevates your enjoyment to a whole new level. This is Gemini.

Often, due to the apparent restless nature of the sign, the Gemini will seem to be everywhere. From a spiritual point of view, this makes perfect sense. She/he is honing their special perceptions and learning to articulate them in such a way that the rest of us may better understand. Mystically, we might say that the gods are looking through the eyes of the Gemini, and when that deity chooses to speak, perhaps we all should listen. This is Gemini.

Ruled by Mercury as well, of course Virgo is also a Divine messenger. In this sign however, this tendency takes on quite a different look. Where Gemini will delight and inform us, Virgo intends to improve us. With an innate understanding of the Divine which resides within us all, Virgo will see the beauty of the perfection which may be hidden inside the sometimes ugly mortal shell, and will be compelled to free it. Remember, as an earth sign, just talking about Divinity isn't good enough for Virgo; it must be made tangible and real.

Virgo may be considered to be more of a servant of the gods, but with special gifts for humanity. For instance, that of healing. Mercury, or his Greek counterpart Herme

i did a thread a while back that was sort of on the same topic although from a much more social standpoint as opposed to the apparent spiritual standpoint of this thread.

But yes, i a m a strong believer in the planetary bonds. not only in just virgo and gemini, but libra and taurus as well, and even the traditional bonds, to an extent (pisces + sagi; aqua + cap etc etc)

mercurys entire mythology is almost completely based off the theme of duality. remember in the ancient times astronomers observed mercury as 2 different planets, as it could be seen as the sun would rise, and as it would set. the day version they named "apollo" for the sun's messenger. the night version was named "hermes" for the jack of all trades. this is representative of the two sides which split mercury, the day version being the represent of gemini and the night version represent virgo. because gemini is more talkative and social, and virgo is more a practitioner of several arts. mercury is the only planet with two asigned astrological elements. the day version is earth and the night version is air. both are considered mutable. therefor, mercury is the only planet ruled strictly by "logic" elements (earth and air are traditionally considered logic elements while fire and water are "emotional") and the only planet strictly mutable. take from that what you will. obviously you can see mercury has a strong connection to rational thought, which is why virgo and gemini are considered intellectual, and also a strong connection to change, which could be one explaination for some virgo and geminis restless nature.
