Mercury
Mercury is the ruler of the intellect. Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and
Virgo. This planet is an intellectual force controlling the mentality. It
also rules common sense, and is a symbol of what you think and how you
express your thoughts. The quality of the mentality is, of course, subject
to the sign and house where Mercury is found in each horoscope, and its
possible conjunction with other planets. Mercury controls quick thinking,
glib accurate expression of thoughts, colorful language, and an accurate
grasp of any situation. Mercury has brilliancy, understanding, and powers of
faultless execution of any task or problem set for solution. The intellect
is cold, abstract, but honest, and the execution of manual work, perfect.
Mercury governs speed, communications by word or wire, journeys short and
fleet, in fact, as the ancients described him, he is "the messenger of the
gods". Badly aspected, this fine dispassionate intellectual force and smart
coordination of body and mind can be turned into forces that lie, steal,
dupe and forge with a slickness that, like the magician’s wand, eludes
detection in its polished adroitness.
