☿ Mercury

The 1st Planet

Mercury's sign is always within 1 sign of the Sun's sign. This produces 3 possible relationships between the Sun and Mercury in any individual's chart: Mercury will always appear directly before, directly after, or in conjunction with the Sun. As a result, there are also meaningful elemental pairings that can be predicted using alchemy and the Alchmizer.

The Mercury Sign is associated with communication, intellect, and mental processes. It represents the way individuals think, analyze, and express themselves. Mercury's position in an astrological chart influences cognitive abilities, learning style, and communication preferences. It is linked to activities such as writing, speaking, and problem-solving, shaping how a person processes information and interacts with their immediate environment. Mercury is considered a key factor in understanding the intellectual and communicative aspects of an individual's personality.
