Mercury’ Astrological Significance
The Planet of the Mind
Mercury rules over mental power, communications, connections, and technology. Your Mercury placement rules over the way you speak, how you think, and how you process information. This is how you express yourself in the world. Mercury is not a “social planet”, but it is a powerful planet that dictates how social interactions and relationships can go. Your inner and outer voice is everything, and understanding where Mercury is placed can help you understand the best way to use it.

Google AI and a lot of questions.
A lot of the information in this section comes from my own personal experience and higher channelings, but I used one main source to fact check myself and fill in any gaps in my knowledge. I have been working with this book for years and I’ve found it to be one of the most concise and straightforward works on Astrology to date. This section wouldn’t have been entirely possible to create without the accompanying works of Isabel M Hickey and her book Astrology: A Cosmic Science.
