ALMUTEMMercury in Aries
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn. In Aries, it expresses itself with drive and courage, throwing yourself forward.
In Aries — a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars —, Mercury wanders peregrine, and the mind enters with sword and shield: it thinks in an original way, speaks directly, and draws others into its ideas. It loves the heat of an argument and holds firm under pressure, though it does not always govern the emotion that can muddle its reasoning. It knows the impact it makes and uses it, dramatic and persuasive, to win attention. The fire of the sign gives quickness and courage to the thought, but also rashness — it decides and speaks before weighing. Being peregrine, it depends on its dispositor, Mars. Its strength is intellectual initiative: a pioneering Mercury, that thinks fast and opens the way with the word; its care, not to cut with the tongue what it ought to build.
