Mercury

Mercury is the messenger planet, ruling all forms of communication, commerce, and mental activity. It describes your thinking style, how you absorb and share information, and the way you navigate daily interactions. Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo, connecting the curious, social mind with the analytical, detail-oriented mind. When Mercury retrogrades, communication and technology often go awry, inviting review and revision. Its placement by sign and house reveals where your intellectual gifts are strongest.
