Keyword: reasoning Topic: intellectual drive, communicationDomicile: Gemini and Virgo Exaltation: Aquarius Fall: Leo Exile: Sagittarius and Pisces Planetary Joy: Cancer Mercury in Aries People born under the influence of Mercury in Aries have an agile and competitive thinking style and enjoy debates in which they can distil sharp arguments just for the pleasure of arguing. Their ability to think quickly makes them formidable opponents in verbal disputes, where their agile mind proves to be an inexhaustible source of original ideas. However, it is important that they practise modesty and humility, regardless of the situation they find themselves in, so that overconfidence does not lead them to consider themselves intellectually superior to others, making them arrogant and presumptuous. Furthermore, the tendency towards impulsiveness, typical of Aries, leads them to make hasty decisions, as they hate waiting. While this impulsiveness makes them act quickly and confidently, it can also result in unfinished projects, especially when circumstances do not keep up with their mental speed. Therefore, it is important for these people to find a balance between impulsiveness and concluding ideas, with reflection on the speed of decisions and patience in completing projects being essential so that they can make the most of the opportunities that life has to offer them. Mercury in Taurus People born under the influence of Mercury in Taurus have an inclination towards practicality and the appreciation of what is tangible and useful, thus, their thoughts and choices are always governed by practical utility, which, despite not standing out in brilliance or originality, , provides comfort and makes life easier. The ability to concentrate on practical issues gives them a great ability to focus, being able to ignore external distractions as if they didn't exist, however, they need to pay attention so that their focus does not become something exaggerated and frivolous, as this can make them blind to important issues that should be perceived for their own good. Furthermore, although they are slower to form opinions, once they are formed, they are reluctant to modify them, reflecting very well the typical Taurean stubbornness, a stubbornness that can also be seen in the way they insist on remaining within their comfort zone, the which makes it avoid risks so as not to lose stability. Despite this, this positioning also gives them persistence and seriousness in the pursuit of goals, standing out for the determination with which they build their lives on practical and stable foundations, at the same time that they tenaciously pursue their dreams and aspirations. Mercury in Gemini People born under the influence of Mercury in Gemini are characterised by having a very intense curiosity and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Owners of an inventive mind, they stand out for their mental originality that helps them find surprising solutions to complex problems. However, this search for knowledge must be in harmony with concentration, since, when unbalanced, it can lead to dispersion, causing people to start several projects without completing them. This ability to consider multiple points of view can also result in indecision and frequent changes of mind, generating a reputation for volatility. On the other hand, when done well, it allows them to focus on objective truth, transcending personal preferences and prejudices. Another striking characteristic of those who possess this Mercury is their deep logical and scientific thinking that leads them to develop exceptional communicative skills in both speaking and writing. But, once again, you need to find the right moment to break so that there is no overload, resulting in fatigue and irritation. If this happens, the person needs to move away a little, working with periods of isolation to recharge their energy. Mercury in Cancer People born under the influence of Mercury in Cancer have a mind permeated by deep emotional patterns, where the past plays a significant role. For them, life experiences are fundamental to establishing emotional roots and a sense of security. However, unconscious desires can distort this perception, leading to selective observation and interference with logical reasoning. The absorption of information often occurs unconsciously, making these people highly influenced by the environment, resulting in a variety of behaviours, from becoming a fervent follower to constantly changing their opinions under the influence of others. Furthermore, this sensitivity leads them to believe that everything in the environment is directly linked to them, and it is extremely important that they work on this important point so that they can develop their own opinions and not feel constantly targeted by external influences.Mercury in Cancer also evokes a strong desire for family ties and a peaceful home environment, with this affinity for family matters being a competitive advantage that allows them to develop business skills essential for success, especially in areas where emotional sensitivity and understanding basic needs are essential. Mercury in Leo People born under the influence of Mercury in Leo have a determined mind, endowed with a powerful will and a firm purpose, being able to focus intensely on what they want and exhibiting remarkable energy and willpower. They are people who like to be recognized as authorities in their areas of activity, benefiting from a dramatic and persuasive speech, although, in excess, this can lead to intellectual pride and arrogance, and it is important that they learn to look at those around them. as important parts of your own success. Intellectual self-confidence is also a striking characteristic, promoting a positive approach to problem solving, however, attention is needed, as this self-confidence can result in a tendency to deal with issues in a generalised way, ignoring important details, especially if it is something that is not in your interest. Their persistence and determination means that they rarely give up on their plans and projects, even in the face of adversity. This perseverance, combined with creativity, organisation and leadership skills, gives them remarkable executive capacity, making them stand out in areas where they can further expand their intellectual development. Mercury in Virgo People born under the influence of Mercury in Virgo have an analytical and meticulous mind, distinguished by their ability to reason practically and their insistence on exact precision. This characteristic may seem tedious to some, but for those with this position, organised environments and efficient methods are essential, especially in their areas of expertise. These are people who are extremely interested in concepts that have a practical application, aiming for status and financial success, which makes them discard very idealistic or unrealistic thoughts, dedicating themselves completely to carrying out tasks and avoiding wasting time on activities considered useless. However, it is important that they recognize that pragmatic thinking is just the first step towards new discoveries and innovations and that investing time in acquiring new knowledge and exploring new ideas can significantly enrich their lives. Another point that deserves attention is Virgo's typical perfectionism. They need to learn to balance this desire to achieve perfection at all costs in a healthy way so as not to run the risk of losing sight of important issues due to excessive concern with insignificant details. Mercury in Libra People born under the influence of Mercury in Libra are people who focus on seeking balance and harmony in all areas of their life. Diplomatic and charming, they communicate with kindness and courtesy, valuing cooperation and carefully considering all perspectives before making a decision, especially if it has an important bearing on their plans and objectives. Because they genuinely value the opinions of others, these people prefer to work in intellectual partnerships, seeking consensus and collaboration rather than confrontation, which makes them skilled at mediating challenging situations and finding solutions that satisfy all parties involved. However, this inclination to harmonise different points of view can result in indecisiveness, as they are reluctant to express dissenting opinions to avoid conflicts or maintain constant approval. Furthermore, they are aesthetically conscious people who highly value elegance in both their verbal and written expression, finding pleasure in the harmony of forms and the beauty of words. It is worth highlighting that this aesthetic sensitivity is not just limited to their communication, but is also reflected in their search for balanced and pleasant environments. Mercury in Scorpio People born under the influence of Mercury in Scorpio have an intuitive and perceptive mind, capable of penetrating the deepest human motivations. Their keen perception leads them to critically examine the nuances of human interactions, although they do not always express compassion in their analyses, and can be very direct to the point of hurting others unintentionally, since they prefer brutal sincerity to false courtesy. People with this Mercury make meticulous plans, guarding their secrets until it is strategically advantageous to reveal them. This means that they may feel impelled to manipulate others to achieve their goals, especially if there are hidden motivations at play. It is important that they understand that manipulation should not be seen as the best path. Endowed with determination and ingenuity, they face challenges with resilience, standing out in roles where research is a key element, thanks to their analytical mind and insatiable curiosity. On the other hand, their investigative mind can make them obsessed with control, fueling possessiveness in all the relationships and partnerships they build, and it is very important that they learn to balance this intense energy, finding healthy ways to express their desire for control without suffocating those around you. Mercury in Sagittarius People born under the influence of Mercury in Sagittarius are endowed with an inquisitive mind, eager to explore broad and abstract issues, such as spirituality, philosophy and high ideals. Although Mercury is in exile in this sign, this does not make them illogical, but rather less interested in trivial details, focusing their concerns on the big picture of life and the attitudes that shape the world around them. They are people recognized for their frank and direct communication, reflecting a deep desire for intellectual freedom and sincerity. However, it is important to note that they can sometimes find themselves entangled in traditional concepts, despite their search for originality and expansion of thought. This is because, even with the unique ability to develop deep and almost prophetic insights, they tend to fall into social conformism to the point of nullifying their own innovative perspective, thus inhibiting their ability to promote constructive and innovative dialogues. Therefore, it is important that they learn to recognize the relativity of truth and value the diversity of perspectives in order to be able to see beyond the superficiality of the world and put into practice their unique role in promoting critical thinking and intellectual expansion. Mercury in Capricorn People born under the influence of Mercury in Capricorn are known for their ambitious, organised and pragmatic mind, demonstrating great concentration, ability to organise themselves and a meticulous approach to their thoughts and actions. Your patience and discipline often result in remarkable mathematical and administrative skills. Realists, they value ideas that have practical value, avoiding being easily deceived, while their determination and persistence enable them to overcome obstacles efficiently, even though they can reflect on the means used to achieve their ends. This is because their ambition, when in exorbitant doses, can lead them to develop greedy behaviours and a tendency to instrumentalize others in pursuit of their goals, sacrificing human considerations in favour of material interests and status, and it is important that they learn to measure this desire so that it is a boost to success and not something that can undermine relationships and partnerships. Furthermore, they are people who tend to have conservative political and social ideas, valuing the established order and respecting time-tested traditions, which can cause them to become inflexible when faced with certain issues. Mercury in Aquarius People born under the influence of Mercury in Aquarius nurture a mind open to new experiences and the search for truth in an impartial way, prioritising objectivity and the veracity of facts, often putting freedom first in their thoughts and actions. Its originality comes from the ability to accept ideas that challenge the status quo and transcend the conventional.

Furthermore, their sense of community drives them to seek the common good and collective cooperation subconsciously, being able to see beyond the obvious thanks to their inquisitive mind, which makes them agents of change and leaders in favour of progress and evolution. of society. Another point to highlight is that, because they have a stabilised and concentrated mind, they are able to mentally access a variety of ideas and concepts quickly, which helps them understand the complexity of the universe. Mercury in Pisces People born under the influence of Mercury in Pisces have a mind immersed in imagination so deeply that they can visualise thoughts and memories with almost photographic clarity. In this position, intuition is the main communication tool for these people, allowing them to build a deep connection with others, often even telepathically, mainly because they are extremely empathetic. However, this sensitivity can make them susceptible to the subliminal influence of those around them, absorbing their states of mind and thoughts to the point that their decisions and actions are affected and, because of this, they need to be very careful so that this effect does not occur an emotional sponge does not make them vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation. Furthermore, because they are so intuitive, their conclusions are not based on logical reasoning, but rather on an almost unconscious abstraction, making it necessary to focus and concentrate on what is real so as not to end up delving into illogical and inaccessible idealizations. This abstract intellectuality makes them adept at dealing with chaos, being attracted to areas that require a complex and subjective understanding, and it is important to create healthy connections to be able to clearly express their ideas.
