ALMUTEMMercury in Sagittarius
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn. In Sagittarius, it expresses itself with a wish to explore, grow and feel free.
Mercury is in its detriment in Sagittarius — a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter —, acting against its nature: the planet of detail and analysis falls in the sign of the broad view and of faith, and the mind moves by beliefs and causes, with great focus and the gift of firing audiences with its ideas. The words infect and motivate, but at the extreme they turn into dogma, inflexibility, or fervent propaganda. The debility lies in trading examination for conviction — believing instead of verifying, and taking the overview as a dispensation from the particular. The true work is to part what is truly its own from what it merely idealises, so as to speak with integrity and not from interest. Well directed, it is an inspiring and far-reaching Mercury, that gives great ideas the voice that carries.
