The Planets – Mercury

As we all know, our solar system consists of the Earth, the Sun, Moon, and eight other planets I will be discussing along the way. Well here they are: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. They revolve around the Sun in a precise, ordered pattern as all the others do. Each entity in the solar system moves at a different speed and rate, separate path or orbit and the combination of the placements of the planets are endless. Or almost.

The first planet to discuss is Mercury. It is said that Mercury makes life understanding, for it’s the planet of intelligence, associated with speed and agility. He was the messenger of the Gods. He was young, beautiful and swift, feet had wings! His province was communication, commerce, everything requiring skill and dexterity. Mercury is the planet of mental activity, communication, and intellectual energy. Rules over intelligence, perception, and reason, memory, speaking and writing.

Reflects the way you see, hear, understand, and assimilate information.

When Mercury is prominent, that person is likely to be fluent but insincere in speech, lively and amusing storyteller, clever, shrewd bargainer.

They will probably have a good memory, talent for debate (may be opposing) and quick, nervous movements.

Mercury also rules the voice. So it may influence those who act, sing, or public speak.

Of course there are the negative side to Mercury and it which it has the tendencies to be critical, sarcastic, argumentative, and sly. Also lies, deceit, certain types of crime are some examples of Mercury’s negative power.

It is the planet nearest the Sun and also the second smallest planet in our solar system.
