The Power of Story

Mercury

The archetypal energy of Mercury is commonly known as the Messenger of the Gods or The Trickster, but this shapeshifter takes on many qualities and can morph as an influencer in today’s zeitgeist.

Ruling Gemini and Virgo who are both mutable signs, as well as the third house, wherever Mercury hangs out in your natal chart there will be accentuation and opportunities for mutation in things that are seen or unseen either above or below. The concentrated Mercurial energy gives the ability to think quickly on the feet and express through creative communication strategies.

Known as an innovator, slick speaker, thief, inventor on the fly, herdsman, and magician…Mercury can bring confusion and mayhem while aiding in transformation of the conscious to the unconscious. It has been said by Michael Phillips of Third Eye Drops that Mercury is a “boundary transcending disruptor trickster who moves information from one plane of reality to another”.

The glyph for Mercury looks like a little person wearing a hat, like a delivery boy or maybe those are tiny antennae receiving communication transmissions.
