Mercury is the dedicated ruling planet of Gemini and Virgo, and is recognized as the planet of communication! Its planetary influence is believed to connect our awareness through intellect, logic, and our creative thought process. Its influence prompts us to evaluate new scenarios and react through quick, clever, and concise expression. It pushes us to mentally appreciate all that we see and hear with clear minds, and wants us to feel with all our available senses!

Mercury urges us to use our expressions creatively and sensibly wherever possible. Whatever the information put in front of us, it wants us to break it down with our mental powers and arrive at correct decisions. It prompts us to categorize and prioritize what we deem worthwhile, and discard what is not. It prefers for us to deal with the real world we live in, and find appropriate perspectives within our natural boundaries. It defines how we operate when acquiring new knowledge, and what we do with it!

Mercury delivers its energy in either feminine or masculine form, and is most visible when we are perceptive and intelligent. The art of language is very much its priority for us to develop and prosper with. It wants creativity to serve as its translator, whether it writing, literature, or public speaking. All forms of communication channels are at Mercury's disposal! Mercury's planetary influence also prompts us to continually seek new experiences and search for reason and understanding, on psychological and physical levels. It wants us to use our time wisely as we learn. Then it wants us to repeat the process, to become even smarter again!

Mercury is the smallest and fastest planet of all and is the closest planet to the Sun. It moves quickly in its orbit, which prompts its influence for us to travel and exercise our restless nature. It wants us to learn as much as we can, and not be afraid to venture into uncharted territories. Mercury symbolizes learning from a young age, and being flexible in our approach to life. It does not mind the odd trick or two either, if that is what it takes to develop our skills along the way!
