Mercury is how you think and talk: your wit, your curiosity and the way you take in and pass on information. It never strays far from the Sun, colouring how you learn and connect.
What it governs
- Role: Mind & voice
- Keywords: mind, communication, how you think and speak
- Type: Personal planet
Mercury is a personal planet. It moves quickly through the zodiac, so it describes something close and individual about you rather than your whole generation.
Wherever Mercury falls, its sign shows the style it acts in and its house shows the part of life it touches. Mercury in a bold fire sign plays out very differently from Mercury tucked away in the quiet twelfth house.
