Mercury in Gemini natives are rather fun, they consider communication and intelligence of great importance. They have a tendency to rationalize and compartmentalize everything. Later, they 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 demonize people they do not understand.
Their mind can become overactive and can cause them difficulty in relaxing, certainly when there is much going on in their lives. In a negative chart, it can make them natural liars. Taurus influences can help soothe the mind a bit. When the Sun is in Taurus, the fundamental values tend to be more traditional, which can alleviate some of this.
When Mercury is in this sign it makes the native's mind quite dynamic, but memory is less exact, and there is a tendency to alter the original story in a way that is more appealing. This is not necessarily a deliberate process, but is more about the way these natives store things in their own memory. This makes them natural story-tellers, but less reliable.
