now that i have though about it i can even see how this manifests in my own life
i have mercury in capricorn (also, like virgo an earth sign)
i have the moon in gemini
when i need to get stuff done, i rely on my mercurial capricorn-skills to plan, organize, set dates and time-schedules, i always look at what the most practical fastest and most beneficial way is- i cut it up in manageable pieces that are realistic and get things done, whilst i am progressing i check boxes and make sure i am doing things accordingly. i am focused, practical and grounded, i never assume i always plan ahead and make sure i take in all pros and cons. this is how i got through high-school, college, this is how i manage my budget for the month, my savings, my day to day life, my home organization even- everything- literally everything i do is very very practical, i like to plan out my daily tasklist, weekly tasklist monthly etc etc, i have excel sheets and notebooks and its about getting where i want to be through dedicated every day routine work- something that has paid off immensely and being prepared is half the work truly.
now my gemini moon doesnt like this- so in order for me to stay focused i cant just sit down for three hours and do my planning and organizing- thats impossible for a gemini moon- why, because i need variety and change and if i do something for 2 hours straight i can after that shoot myself through the head and just forget about it- so what do i do to break up the mundane work- every half hour i have to take breaks- i talk to someone, i write on this forum, i take a walk, i paint, i clean my house- if dont do this- my mind will go insane on me and nothing gets done- so the mercury in capricorn is what is driving me to accomplish my goals (all mercurial in nature- budget organization managing etc) but my actual gemini moon, because it is so restless and needing variety actually makes that difficult so i have to literally use the same mercurial skills to mentally feel fit to do the mundane tasks- i need to talk to someone, that clears my head, i need to write on this and other forums, that clears my head- it also takes up time and thankgod i know now i needed to do this and every 30 minutes change activities- but before i knew this i literally had full blown panick attacks whilst studying with my mind after 2 hours of reading or writing would go bonkers and i couldnt retain any information and became restless- causing me to think i was going mad
this is the most perfect explanation to me why mercury is exalted in virgo (i can only imagine what that would be when my mercury in Capricorn has benefited me extremely well) and not in gemini- it all makes sense.
now back to work lol
