Left Brain v Right Brain Test
This left Brain v Right brain test asks you to test your perceptions on whether the figure is moving clockwise or anticlockwise. Clockwise, it seems is right brained and of course anti-clockwise is left-brained.
As a generalisation if you have Mercury in the fire or air signs then you would be more inclined to be a lefter, whereas with Mercury in water or earth signs you would be more likely to be right-brained.
With Mercury in Gemini I am usually left brained, i.e. my perceptions rely on logic facts and details. So I should see the figure moving anti-clockwise right? Wrong! Today I am seeing it move clockwise, so today I am right-brained i.e. I am perceiving things through feelings and imagination.
Is this the result of Mercury retrograde I wonder?
If you know already whether you are usually left or right minded I would be interested to know if the test shows up the result you expect.
PS in true Mercury retrograde fashion there is a problem uploading images - so I can't sign off in my usual emoticon style

I am a Gemini with Mercury in Gemini too - and for me the dancer is definitely going clockwise. I can't see anyway you could perceive it as going the other way. Admittedly, I do have Mercury in a close trine to Neptune, and sextile my Moon/Pluto conjunct! Fascinating.
Thanks for your comment Vivienne. Nice to meet a fellow Gemini, sounds as if you are an astrologer as well :)
I too have Neptune trine Mercury. I found that if I concentrated then she did dance anti-clockwise, but soon turned back. I'm going to do the test again when Mercury is direct to see if it's still the same
Well I am a natal Mercury in Taurus, and left-handed too, so you'd expect me to see her moving clockwise, right? Wrong! For me she only moves anti-clockwise???
Nice post Sas. x
Thanks Kitty, can I ask you to retake the test when Mercury is direct again? I'm interested to see if it differs according to the direction of Mercury
:-O She's moving clockwise now! Wow! That's so bizarre. How fascinating.
Take care :-) x
Clockwise Sas,(Mercury in Capricorn) wish I'd seen your blog before today.
@ Kitty, still clockwise for me - but I put that down to being ultra stressed right now
@ Gle
thansk for the commetn Glo, I'm still new to Blogging and didn't think to share it with my JR friends, sorry
did I say Gle? I meant Glo of course *blush*
I have Mercury in Scorpio (3rd house), am left-handed, and saw the dancer moving clockwise. I have trained myself to write with my right hand but it is slow and not always pretty.

Hi Sasha I've just noticed something strange about the test, if I look at it face on she is going clockwise, yet if I turn my screen at a slight angle and look sidways at her she then moves anti-clockwise.
Now that Mercury is retrograde, I thought I would do it again. At first, she was still going clockwise, then she went counter-clockwise, and then clockwise again. My natal Mercury is direct.
Since yesterday, everytime I have thought about someone, they have called me. Two friends called last night. This morning as I was getting ready to hit the send button on an email to a business contact, she called.
Hi Sasha
As Mercury began this current retro in Libra it seems fitting that it is refelcting through other people
