ALMUTEMMercury in Virgo
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn. In Virgo, it expresses itself with an eye for detail and a practical streak.
Mercury rules Virgo — a mutable earth sign — and is here not only in its domicile but in its exaltation: a unique case, in which the planet is at once lord and honoured guest of the sign, in its strongest position of all. The mind shines analytical, penetrating, and drawn to the technical, the scientific, and the occult. It absorbs, dissects, and catalogues every detail, and when it enters a field it goes to the end, until it understands everything. Like an alchemist of itself, it seeks without ceasing for perfection and truth. At full strength, it is the Mercury of the sage, the critic, and the artificer of thought — exact, deep, tireless. The only reverse is that an excess of inner criticism at times obscures the solutions. Its strength is the mastery of reason: a rare intelligence, that sees what escapes others.
