What Mercury Sextile Saturn Means
Mercury sextile Saturn on May 22 is the second time this year that these two align cooperatively, and in Gemini, Mercury's home sign, the mental sharpness is even more pronounced. Your thinking is structured without being rigid, your speech is careful without being cold, and your ability to organize complex information into clear, actionable frameworks is operating at peak efficiency.
This is an ideal day for business meetings, contract negotiations, and any communication that requires both precision and authority. Your words carry credibility. Your plans have legs, and the people who need to take you seriously (bosses, clients, institutions) are more inclined to do so. The combination of Mercury's speed and Saturn's thoroughness means you can process information quickly without sacrificing depth.
Travel for business, professional correspondence, and hard mental work of any kind are all supported. If you have been putting off a task that requires sustained focus (a financial analysis, a strategic plan, a proposal that needs to be bulletproof), this is the day to tackle it. Your mind is a precision instrument right now. Use it before the window closes.
