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 house your Mercury occupies reveals where your mind is most active and engaged. It shows the areas of life that stimulate your curiosity, occupy your thoughts, and call you to communicate, learn and exchange ideas. This is where conversations shape destiny, where information matters, and where your voice becomes part of your purpose. Mercury’s house is the environment your mind lives in — the arena where your thoughts, words and ideas come to life.
