Mercury in Astrology is the planet of communication. Mercury was the Messenger of the Gods and so, naturally, the sign and house placement will tell a beautiful story about how that individual communicates, as well as how they think. This might not sound as hot and steamy as your Venus or Mars Placement, however, I assure it can be. Mercury is more significant in terms of success and compatibility than you might think – especially in today’s society.

Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, and is therefore also associated with the 3rd and 6th Houses. Mercury in and of itself is not masculine or feminine, rather it absorbs those qualities of the sign which it rests in. Where is your Mercury placed? How do you use your words to define and create?

As humans, what makes us stand out from the rest is our ability to communicate – our diversity of “thought” (so they tell us) and communication. The animals which we decide to value more than others, is also very closely linked to how complexly they are able to communicate or not. We, as humans, judge people and things based on how they communicate or do not communicate, and once you understand this, you can step into your own power and strength in terms of communication.
