As you may know, Astrology goes much deeper than just your Star Sign. When it comes to reading the stars, each planet represents a different aspect of your personality, from how you express yourself, to how you react emotionally, from your love language to what drives your passions.
Mercury is the planet of communication, it’s how we speak, write, learn, teach, share information and how we communicate intuitively, through body language and for some signs, even through energy, music or art. It rules all aspects of sharing ideas and expressing ourselves!
Mercury takes on the flavour of whichever sign it resides in so depending upon the location of Mercury in your chart, your communication style and the way in which you learn may be different to other people you know.
You can check your personal astrological chart, including your Mercury placement here. You’ll need your date, time and location of birth, because your astrological chart is a unique map of the sky at the precise moment and place we were born.
