7° Gemini: the gift of persuading with warmth and good humor

The eighth degree of Gemini combines the Mercury decan, the Leo dwad and the term of Jupiter, like the one before, but it is the last of this dwad: Leo’s brilliance is refined here and already lets you sense the precision of Virgo that follows. The eloquence is more mature, less theatrical than at 5°, more convincing than at 6°. There is a quiet charm here, a way of reassuring while you speak, of making boldness acceptable.

A Sun at 7° Gemini makes you someone who persuades without forcing, very much at ease in negotiation, training or sales built on trust. The Moon here softens relationships with humor and good cheer. Mars, placed at this degree, argues with an enthusiasm that doesn’t turn into a quarrel. On the Ascendant, you come across as reliable, someone whose word reassures and who naturally inspires confidences.

Your lever is to use this power of conviction for causes worth the effort. Persuading is a power; this degree does best when it uses it honestly, leaving others time to think. Practice asking a sincere question before defending your point of view: listening strengthens your credibility and makes your good humor even more contagious, even in the most delicate discussions.
