Planets in Signs
Mercury
Mercury is the mind — the voice, the thoughts, the intelligence, the words that shape your world. It rules communication, learning, perception, humour, curiosity and the way your brain naturally operates. Through Mercury, we see how you process life, how you speak truth, how you listen, and how you connect thought to reality.
The sign your Mercury lives in shows how your mind works. It shapes your thinking style, your communication tone, your intellectual rhythm and the natural language of your thoughts. It reveals the way you analyse, interpret, understand and articulate your inner world. Mercury’s sign is the personality of your mind — the voice inside your head, the style of your humour, and the unique way your thoughts translate into words.
Aries Mercury
Mercury in Aries speaks with a heartbeat. It thinks in sparks, decides in fire, and moves through life with a mind that refuses to dim itself for comfort or permission.

These are the voices that lead, challenge, provoke, ignite and awaken something dormant in others. Their thoughts arrive like lightning and their words carry courage — sometimes too sharp, sometimes too fast — but always real. This mind was born to pioneer, to say what others swallow, to risk vulnerability in expression and to trust the first spark of knowing.

Their voice adapts, shape-shifts, entertains, teases, teaches, and reveals truths through humor, movement, and dialogue. They don’t just speak; they weave realities with language. They notice what others miss. They connect dots no one else sees. They thrive in duality, in versatility, in experiencing life from multiple angles.
