Mercury

MERCURY
Mercúrio = mente consciente = eu comunico

Your ability to think, communicate, and gather information. If Mercury is strongly placed in your horoscope, you will have an increased need for communication and variety. You are more likely than most people to spend a lot of time on the phone. Mercury rules the signs of Gemini and Virgo.
In Greek mythology, Mercury (Hermes) was the winged messenger of the gods. Mercury symbolizes all things related to communication. Its rulership is of the masculine sign of Gemini, the sign that governs the 3rd house in the natural zodiac. Mercury also has rulership over the 6th house sign of Virgo, the feminine sign that rules the other functions of the mind that analyzes, defines and discriminates.
As Mercury is symbolized by the planet of the mind it is also represents the planet of youth. It is in our early childhood that we learn to speak and to assimilate information, but as with a child its attention span is very short therefore, it represents early education and not higher education. Mercury governs everything we do to communicate with our voice or written materials whether it is computers, telephone conversations, books, and media. Mercury's position in your chart shows how you think, reason and express yourself. Mercury never stops collecting data for you and transmits that data to your central nervous system by which your eyes, hands, and breathing collaborate. Mercury also rules language that is concealed such as our ideas, private thoughts and opinions.
The Mercurial type may be dexterous, clever and quick witted. Those with strong Mercury characteristics may be public speakers, writers or researchers.
Mercury rules the hands and the quickness of the hands; therefore, a strong Mercurial type may be a magician or even a thief!
Mercury rules all forms of transportation from taxicabs to bicycles.
Mercury rules the lungs, respiratory system, speech impediments and other problems with the mouth and tough. It also rules the arms, hands, shoulders, the nervous system, and illnesses related to them.

Mercúrio representa a inteligência, a comunicação, trocas e a maneira que você possui de se informar e se expressar. Está associado aos trabalhos do intelecto como: escrever, ensinar e aprender.
É o modo como fala, pensa, como a mente funciona. Habilidades de raciocínio. Natureza inquisidora.
Mercúrio quando expressado de maneira negativa faz nascer a mentira e a superficialidade, enquanto na forma positiva faz nascer a brincadeira, a alegria e a inteligência.
Na mitologia é representado por Hermes, o Deus encarregado de levar as mensagens de Zeus aos mortais.
O setor onde se encontra mercúrio é aquele onde fará melhor uso de sua inteligência. A inteligência é o veículo para compreender você e o mundo, entretanto tem suas limitações, pois a mente sabota e trapaceia. A polaridade de mercúrio é masculina.
