Natal Mercury in the SignsNote: If your natal Mercury is in the same sign as your natal Sun, you communicate in a way that’s reflective of who you really are. If your natal Mercury and Sun are in different signs, you may communicate in a way that’s different from who you really are.
Natal Mercury in Aries With your natal Mercury in Aries, you don’t beat around the bush. You get right to the point, and some people appreciate that, while others find you too aggressive. You can come up with ideas that you’re enthusiastic about, but generally don’t dwell on the details. You love to begin new projects, but you can jump from one to the next quickly, always finding something else that catches your interest. This could’ve been a problem in school, where you didn’t get something right away so you’d give up on it, and you may have come across as less intelligent than you actually were. You don’t wait around for other people to make decisions for you, and make them for yourself rather quickly, which can get you in trouble sometimes. Natal Mercury in Taurus With your natal Mercury in Taurus, you take a slow, steady approach to matters. When you study something, you take your time, and while others may think you’re too slow, once you absorb information, you don’t forget it. It takes time for you to begin new tasks and projects, but you stick to it once you do, though you can take longer to finish them. You don’t speak up too much, so your words have more weight to them. You’re practical about matters, use your senses to help take in information, and learn best when you see how things work in your own life. You can have good taste, and an eye and ear for artistic talent. You may be good with speaking and writing. Natal Mercury in Gemini With your natal Mercury in Gemini, you have a quick mind, but it can be difficult to concentrate on anything for very long. You need constant variety and need to keep your mind busy, otherwise you get restless and bored. This can lead to bouts with anxiety and nervous energy. You can absorb lots of new information quickly, but you tend to know a little about a lot instead of being an expert with anything. You’re analytical and tend to favor logic over everything else, and have a hard time listening to your gut. If you can’t see it with your own eyes, you won’t believe it. Your communications can lack a personal touch because you tend to keep your emotions out of it, but that can make it hard for people to connect with what you say. You can be charming, humorous, and decisive. Natal Mercury in Cancer With your natal Mercury in Cancer, your communications are often colored by your personal experience, which can make it hard for you to be objective. Many of you may keep your thoughts and ideas to yourself, worried about what people will think and not wanting to be subjected to criticism. You dwell on your thoughts for a while, and it can seem like it takes you a long time to make decisions even if it doesn’t. Your memory is incredible, with this placement being one of the best for it. Anything that impacts you emotionally, you’ll remember for lifetimes, though you tend to remember more of the emotion of the moment or experience and not the words. You have good intuition for what people are feeling, can be passive-aggressive, and can present ideas well. Natal Mercury in Leo With your natal Mercury in Leo, you talk with flair, and you command people’s attention. You express yourself with warmth and this gets people on your side. You’re strongly connected to your beliefs, stubbornly so at times, and can be a little proud. You need to express yourself, and may be a creative person. You can be a great speaker, with passion and flair. You need to watch for believing that your thoughts, opinions, and ideas are better than everyone else’s, and be more open to what other people have to contribute. If you have a proper outlet for expression, this can be curbed, so make sure you’re not holding anything in and are properly expressing yourself. Natal Mercury in Virgo With your natal Mercury in Virgo, you’re not extremely expressive with your communication style, but you have a lot of knowledge that you can share, and you’ll contribute all of the facts that you know. Details are your thing, and you see and know them all. Stepping back and seeing the bigger picture is where you can have trouble. You’re extremely organized with your thoughts and ideas, and require a certain amount of structure and order to be mentally calm. Daily tasks are always finished quickly with you because you need them out of the way before you can wrap your brain around anything else. You have a hard time letting other people do things because you believe that you’re the only one who can do them right, which makes you take on too much. Natal Mercury in Libra With your natal Mercury in Libra, you want to be surrounded by people who are your intellectual equal. It’s frustrating when you don’t feel that you are, but it could be that you’re just trying to outdo other people. Whenever you’re giving an opinion, you try to look at it from all sides, but you can go too far and end up making the argument for too many sides. You try to be diplomatic in the way you talk to people, not wanting to hurt anyone, and find gentle ways of breaking things to people. Compromise can be your middle name. Indecisive can also be your middle name. You can be quite charming, objective, a people pleaser, and need to spend more time figuring out what it is that you like instead of going off of what other people say. Natal Mercury in Scorpio With your natal Mercury in Scorpio, you’re an incredible investigator and researcher. You can dive into anything, and you’ll search until you find everything there is to find. You’re highly observant, and can see everything that happens. When you speak, you speak with passion, but you’re a private person who doesn’t give much away about yourself. When it comes to personal situations, your judgment can be clouded by your emotions, so you do best in situations that don’t actually involve you. You almost always win a fight because you’ll stick it out longer than anyone else. You tend to assume that people have bad intentions, and can be suspicious of their motives. You need to be challenged constantly intellectually so you have something to direct your mental energy towards. Natal Mercury in Sagittarius With your natal Mercury in Sagittarius, you think big and skimp on the details. The little stuff doesn’t mean much to you, but the wider perspective gets you, and you can be a visionary. You’re optimistic in your communications, and can easily make people feel better about themselves and their life. You just may be a little out of touch with reality, or gloss over it. You don’t care much for structure and order, believing it’s a waste of time and energy. You’re enthusiastic, but you can be preachy at times, so you need to work on listening to others better. You just love a good debate, and have a hard time pulling yourself away from one. You can be blunt, humorous, and a great defender. Natal Mercury in Capricorn With your natal Mercury in Capricorn, you take a more practical approach. You go for projects that seem realistic to you, and that you know you’ll be able to accomplish. When you communicate, you demand authority, and you’re someone who’s believable. If you have a lot of information to go through, you’ll make it easier by doing a little at a time. You can be a skeptical person, needing to see for yourself how things will work out. Your judgment tends to be pretty good, though you have a hard time with people who are too big and bold. You’re an adept thinker but not usually very quick, thinking a lot about what you say before you say it. You want to be seen as being totally capable, but it keeps you from being more intellectually spontaneous and open. Natal Mercury in Aquarius With your natal Mercury in Aquarius, you have a strong intellect. You love to learn, and you’ll stick with something long enough to actually learn it. You know a lot about a lot. You love to debate, though you can sometimes be too forceful with your ideas. You can come across as too intellectual, and out of touch with emotions. You’re an interesting conversationalist, and can have a good perspective. When it comes to learning, you generally need to do so in an unconventional way. You’re drawn to unconventional ideas, original thinkers, and anything that seems futuristic. You like to be a rebel, and can pick out when someone is being biased or closed-minded. Natal Mercury in Pisces With your natal Mercury in Pisces, you’re more of a listener than a talker. You don’t mind having a conversation with someone, but it all depends on whether you’re in the mood for it or not. You can be a people pleaser and say what you think people want you to say. You have an active imagination, and love to daydream. You take in information from the world around you through feelings and emotions. This allows you to see things in a way that’s different from everyone else. You’re open, and listen to your gut, but can have a hard time expressing yourself directly. You need to learn to not worry about what other people want to hear so much. Natal Mercury in the HousesNatal Mercury in the 1st House
With your natal Mercury in the 1st house, you take an intellectual approach to situations, and come across as someone who thinks a lot, even too much. You love conversation but may be a talker rather than a listener. You have a childlike curiosity, especially with new projects or ideas, and you tend to react in a more analytical manner instead of an emotional one (unless your Moon is also in the 1st house). You may need to get out of your own head. You need some variety in your life or you get bored easily. You can become scattered and have a hard time focusing on one thing for very long. You’re an adaptable person, which can make you a good problem-solver.

You can use what you already have to solve them. You take your time when making decisions, not seeing the point in rushing. You also take your time when learning new things or taking in new information. You can focus on one project or idea at a time, and have a hard time dealing with more than one at once. Once you set your mind to something, there’s no convincing you otherwise, no matter how much the facts may be stacked against you. You can be good with financial planning, and this is a good position to make money through technology, communications, writing, or as an accountant. Natal Mercury in the 3rd House With your natal Mercury in the 3rd house, you’re a mentally active person. Mercury is at home in this house, and you’re at home when you’re using your mind. You engage in many mental activities and communications, love to engage with people and exchange information, and are always on the hunt for new knowledge to obtain. You can be interested in many different things, though you may not throw yourself into them much, and your interest is more superficial. You have a short attention span but are an apt pupil. You can also be good at teaching. You need to keep busy, and can work with siblings, neighbors, younger people, or within your community. You may be prone to nervousness.

You like to stick to conventional methods. You have a long memory, especially if Mercury is in an earth or water sign and in the 4th house. You tend to view things through the scope of your own life rather than being objective. You like to engage with your family members, and want your home to be an active place where you can exchange ideas. You may have a strong interest in your family history and the stories that are passed down. History in general could be of interest to you, and you like to study the past. Natal Mercury in the 5th House With your natal Mercury in the 5th house, you can be a lively communicator. You have a great sense of humor, and are a fun person to be around. This is an excellent position for a comedian, impersonator, or actor. You can also be good at lying, and don’t see it as a negative thing. You can also make a good writer or speaker with your flair for words. If you have children, you want them to be intellectually talented. In love, you’re attracted to people who have strong intellectual abilities and connect with you mentally. Mercury is a dual planet, so this can show being attracted to or in love with two people at once. You can also play the field, or be drawn to people younger than yourself. Natal Mercury in the 6th House With your natal Mercury in the 6th house, you’re exceptionally detail-oriented. You don’t miss a thing, no matter how small it may be, but you can have a hard time with the bigger picture because of that. You’re good with organization, needing structure and order with your thoughts, ideas, and projects. It might be hard for you to get your mind to quiet down and it always seems to be going nonstop, which can lead to nervousness and anxiety. You could be a health nut, even a hypochondriac, and it’s mostly in your head. It would be good for you to find outlets for your mental energy, but also try to find ways to calm yourself down. You could work as a writer, in communications, advertising, with technology, or work with your hands. Natal Mercury in the 7th House With your natal Mercury in the 7th house, you usually need someone else to talk things over with to help you make decisions, come up with plans, and generate new ideas. You’re incredibly vacillating, so you need people to help you through a decision, otherwise you might never make one. You can see both sides of the situation, and can make arguments for both. You can overanalyze relationships and look at them too closely. You tend to be attracted to intellectual types. Since Mercury is a dual planet and this is the house of commitment, you could have to choose between two people, or be married twice or have two long-term relationships in your life. You could also be drawn to those younger than yourself. Natal Mercury in the 8th House With your natal Mercury in the 8th house, you like to dive into what drives people to do what they do. You enjoy investigating people, projects, and ideas, and are a good researcher. You’re drawn to things that seem mysterious or taboo. You have a powerful way of communicating, and people tend to take you seriously. You can come across too intense at times, and you absolutely loathe superficiality and small talk. If you don’t have anything important to say, you don’t say anything at all. You can be good with joint finances and dealing with money that isn’t yours, so this can be a good placement for a stockbroker, accountant, etc. Natal Mercury in the 9th House With your natal Mercury in the 9th house, you’re always on the hunt to learn something new. There’s no greater quest than the quest for knowledge, at least in your mind. By learning about so much, you feel that you expand your mind and your life. You can step back and see the bigger picture easily, though you can overlook the details. You like to share what you’ve learned rather than keep it for yourself, and find joy in teaching others. You can be blunt to a fault, offer your opinion when people don’t want it, and need to learn to censor yourself a little if you don’t want to find yourself in trouble all of the time. You seem positive and enthusiastic in your communications. Natal Mercury in the 10th House With your natal Mercury in the 10th house, when you communicate, you do so with authority. You demand that people listen, and they usually do, though you can be overly bossy at times. The 10th house rules your career, so you tend to gravitate towards Mercury-related professions, and could work in communications, as a writer or speaker, with technology, or doing anything with words. Since Mercury is a dual planet, you could have two different professions in your life, or work two at the same time. You need variety and change in your career, and if you don’t know what you want to do, you change work often. A job with constant stimulation is best for you.

You want people in your life who challenge conventional thinking and force you to think outside of your own box. You respect people who seem intellectually advanced.

Natal Mercury in the 12th House With your natal Mercury in the 12th house, you tend to keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself. The 12th house tends to hide whatever energy the planet within it rules, and with Mercury, it’s all about your mind. You’re less willing to volunteer your ideas, and you may come across as shy and quiet, especially in your younger years. It takes time for you to learn how to communicate in a clear, direct way.
