When you think of Mercury, if the first thing that comes to mind is ‘energy, then you are on the right track. This planet is also known as the planet of communication and it rules in the affairs of speaking, writing, books, online communications and learning. All these are within Mercury’s domain, so we can say that these days, many of us get to meet the mercurian side of others before other aspects because our first point of contact is online, you get to assess their style of talking or writing before anything else.
With this planet things happen fast and are almost always in motion, so when you are prompted towards logic and reasoning, with an energy that is neither masculine nor feminine, know that you are operating within the realm of Mercury. The good side about the planet Mercury is that it helps you to take things apart and put them back together due to its inquisitive, curious, communicative, and versatile nature. But on the flip side, you can also be high-strung or nervous, nit-picky, indecisive, and overly technical. When Mercury is weak in a person, the person can stammer or suffer from other speech disorders.
