Mercury in Astrology

Published December 17, 2019 · Updated September 16, 2025 · by dxpnet Astrology Team

Mercury, the messenger planet, rules communication, logic, and mental processing. It describes how you think, speak, write, and connect ideas. Your Mercury sign shows your communication style, decision-making process, and how you learn and share information.

Mercury's energy is represented by a speedy little messenger who has the ability to take words and ideas from his brain to someone else's. The sender has no influence over how the receiver will interpret these thoughts or ideas- it all depends on the receiver.

Communication between two individuals (even if they're in love!) can end up going down different paths because of Mercury's fast-moving nature. A relationship with someone who triggers volatile emotions like excitement, jealousy or irritability will be more intense than a partnership with someone who usually leaves you feeling content and faithful.
