Mercury Aspects

Mercury symbolizes our intellectual and communicative nature. It governs two vital aspects of our lives: communication and cognition. Mercury is the celestial body that influences how we think, process information, and express ourselves verbally and in writing. In our astrological charts, Mercury sheds light on our communication style, the way we learn, and how we convey our thoughts and ideas to the world.

This aspect means that you have a very sharp mind, which you will use to get ahead. Very early in your life, you learned to look at the world clearly and objectively, and in turn you started to communicate in ways that were very advanced for your age. You may or may not go on to become an intellectual, but you will certainly create a life and a career in which you use your mind, and you will always be searching for stimulating and exciting experiences. Because you cannot stand boredom, you are sometimes very restless. The most important challenge you face is to be more disciplined, so that you stick to a task long enough to get some real benefit from it. If you don’t stick with something long enough to dive deep into it, you’ll remain in the shallow end of the pool, or worse, be forever jumping from one kiddies’ pool to another. Another possible problem, which may seem less serious but is in fact far greater, is that you prefer to deal with the world through your mind rather than your feelings. This will keep you from being truly in touch with many experiences in life, such as profound love and delicate sensitivity to beauty, for which your mind alone is not enough. Remind yourself regularly that you cannot make deep connections with other people through your mind alone. Unless you develop your emotions along with your mind, you may feel lonely and cut off from others. With your lively spirit, you may enjoy playing practical jokes on people. This is fine if you are careful not to hurt people who are more sensitive than you.
