Mercury in Astrology
Mercury's position at birth describes your mind and intellectual powers. The sign and house it occupies, as well as the
links it makes to other planets, show not only how you communicate, but what kind of mind you have - how you think
and reason - and how, and what, you learn. Its position also shows your relationships to your brothers and sisters - or
your lack of them. Above all, it is concerned with making connections. It also rules all forms of trade and commerce.
