The words a chart uses

Mercury in astrology

Mercury is traditionally associated with thinking and speaking: in a chart, an invitation to notice how that theme shows up in your experience.

Mercury is traditionally associated with thinking, speaking, learning and the exchange of messages. Its sign is read as a style of attention, and its house as where your thoughts tend to go.

Mercury never strays far from the Sun, and about three times a year it turns retrograde for around three weeks. The tradition reads those stretches as a time to rethink, reread and revisit conversations, rather than a time when everything goes wrong.

A reading of your Mercury asks how you take things in and how you put them into words.
