Mercury

Mercury is the principle of mind in motion: how a chart thinks, speaks, learns, and carries meaning from one place to another. It governs language and exchange, the quick traffic of perception and reason, and it rules two signs — Gemini, where it is curious and connective, and Virgo, where it turns analytic and precise.

Overrun, Mercury scatters into chatter, nervous overthinking, or cleverness with nothing beneath it. Well-tuned, it is the clear, agile intelligence that translates the world into words and makes understanding possible.
