''This little planet is known as the winged messenger, the planet of
communication and transportation of all sorts. It is a flexible, adaptive
planet, which continually accesses new data and responds accordingly.
Mercury represents non-emotional, highly rational objective thought, its
placement in a given sign reveals your intellectual style. Therefore, all
learning and assessing of information is ruled by Mercury, and when it
retrogrades (something you will read about from time to time in my column)
it tends to scramble information for everyone, making it a highly unreliable
time for anyone to sign contracts or make important decisions. This is one
of the few universal aspects which will affect every sign in my predictions.
This planet governs your speech and how well you get your ideas across. The
sign and house in which Mercury resides will tell you lots about your
natural style of gathering and dispersing information. When Mercury is
stressed out, others will challenge your opinions, or you may talk too much.
However, when it's in harmony with the other planets in your chart, it's a
great time to write that contract, buy a new car, or even give a speech.
Mercury also rules sibling relationships, maps, letters, postal matters,
travel plans, appointments, roadways, vehicles, advertising, publishing,
sales, and public relations. And yes, it rules on-line services, but not
cyberspace itself, which is under Aquarius. It even rules Fed Ex and other
express couriers.
Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo and, of course, the most adaptive
element of the universe, quicksilver -- known as mercury. Mercury spends
about 2-3 weeks in each sign, but when it retrogrades, which it does 3 to 4
times a year, it can stay in one sign as long as 10 weeks. Never far from
the Sun, it takes about a year to circle the zodiac.''
