Mercury, the
1st planet out from the Sun, is a tiny planet
revolving quickly around the Sun. Mercury goes
retrograde about 4 times a year for 3 weeks at a
time. This generally causes miscommunications
and mechanical breakdowns. Beware all of you strongly Virgoan or Geminian persons--you
will likely feel these periods and its well worth marking your calendar so you can be vigiliant during Mercury
Retrogrades.
People with strong Mercuries in their Natal Charts
are often high energy, thin and quick of wit. If someone is always buzzing about, flitting from one conversation
to the next, they're probably strongly Geminian. If you see someone always analyzing, mind moving from one
problem or puzzle to the next all the while popping vitamins, you're probably seeing a strongly Virgoan person.
It is believed
that when all planets have been discovered, then
each sign will have its own planetary rulership. Until
then, Mercury rules both
Gemini and
Virgo.
The Gemini Mercury is more of a curious intellect with a short attention span,
while the Virgo Mercury is more concerned with detail and analysis.
