What Mercury Reveals in Your Natal Chart

Mercury is the planet of thought, communication, and intellect. Its position in your natal chart reveals how you process information, express your ideas, and learn new things.

Mercury and Your Mind

Mercury's position reveals your thinking style, how you communicate, your learning approach, how you handle information, and your intellectual strengths. Mercury is domiciled in Gemini (versatile thinking) and Virgo (analytical thinking).

Mercury Never Strays Far from the Sun

Mercury is always within 28 degrees of the Sun, meaning your Mercury sign is either the same as your Sun sign or one sign before or after it. This creates interesting dynamics between identity (Sun) and communication (Mercury).
