Mercury
characterizes our intellect and ability to express ourselves; influence relationships and personal development.
Astrologically speaking, Mercury is the smallest planet and the closest one to the Sun. It moves very close to the Sun, that’s why it appears in the same or the neighboring sign in the horoscope. It never goes further than 30° away from the Sun while being observed from the Earth.
In astronomy, Mercury stands for some kind of a bridge between consciousness and unconsciousness. It describes what we talk about - which is closely related to our thoughts - but also the way we speak and express ourselves. The important factor here is the tone as well as the volume and speed of our speech. It also plays a huge role when it comes to relationships - especially family related. Furthermore, it has an impact on our intellect and mentality because it points out our way of absorbing, processing and interpreting information.
