Mercury in Astrology

About Mercury

Mercury is the planet of communication; it rules Virgo and Gemini both mutable signs. 

He is the Messenger, who travels in the Under world and also the Universe, communing on these levels. This symbolizes the duality of Mercury between conscious thoughts and the world of Spirit. This is the eternal struggle that Mercury has to contend with.

Mercury symbolizes the present, and the thousands of thought forms, which enter our minds continually. Mercury has a way of responding to others almost instinctively, no sooner has one spoken, they are no longer our own, but part of the collective consciousness. Mercury when used consciously can create a great sense of presents and clarity in communications. Mercury can be thought of as the shepherd of the five senses. Being in control of all your values and responding by focusing on the present.
