Mercury Signs

Mercury is your voice.

Your mind.

Your way of processing the world.

It shapes how you think, how you communicate, how you solve problems, and how you express yourself.

Where the Moon shows what you feel, Mercury shows how you make sense of what you feel.

Below are all 12 Mercury signs in the same long-form, psychological, human-centered style as your Sun and Moon pages.
