What Does Mercury Mean In Astrology and How Does It Affect My Communication?
Mercury, currently the fastest planet in our solar system is commonly misunderstood. Today I’ll explain what does mercury mean in astrology and how you can benefit from it.
Let’s Jump in!
The Significance of Mecury
Mercury is known as the communication planet or “the thinker and the talker”. The zodiac signs Geminis and Virgos, are both ruled by this planet. Mercury creates the passage of clear thinking, thought, and communication to others. When we have trouble communicating it is usually because we are not fully aligned with our Mercury.
Mercury deals with all things communication and has strong influences in writing, talking, logical thinking, reasoning, reading, and other mental ability used to express itself in our reality. Typically we think of the conscious mind when it comes to mercury as our thoughts are constantly changing and being analyzed 24/7 in our conscious mind.
How Mercury and Mercury Retrograde Effects You
Mercury will make you more chatty, curious, and explorative as it’s such a youthful planet. Learning through shared experience with others is one of the best ways to strengthen your Mercury.
Things to look out for in Mercury is the fact it can leave you feeling “airy” and too much in your head. This will cause you to overthink things and situations that have an easy solution. To avoid this, it’s best to always stay present, trust your intuition, and don’t take long to make decisions as the longer you wait the harder it will be to decide
Now let’s talk about retrograde.
Mercury is well known for its “Mercury Retrograde” which everyone, even if you’re not into astrology has heard about. Mercury’s rise to fame is because of how often it goes retrograde which means how often it seems to spin backward or go in the opposite direction. This is because Mercury is one of the fastest planets. That being said we have a lot of Mercury Retrogrades throughout the year.
During Mercury Retrograde things tends to shift as electronics and communication can slow down. Communication with others can be difficult as the energy can cause people to misinterpret what you say based on what they believe in their heads. This is a time when you really have to focus on what you say and to not gossip as word will spread like wildfire and possibly create an unwanted situation for you.
Overall, carefully use the energy during these times as this will benefit you in spreading good messages to others by being able to communicate effectively.
This will also show you a different way to communicate as one communication method may no longer serve you.
