Mercury is comfortable in the sign of Virgo, just like it is with Gemini, because Mercury rules Virgo and Gemini. What makes Mercury behave different in Virgo is it's antsy antics and how studious toward a subject or topic Virgo can be, while Gemini can move through different subjects without any major attachments to any one of them. Mercurian Virgos naturally like to help their friends and loved ones by being an asset and a team player. Mercury Virgos don't usually feel any need to display their massive library of knowledge stored inside them, instead they'll suggest and offer advice where necessary-- which means they'll only offer guidance where they excel at.

Libra transforms Mercury into a smooth talker-- a witty, sociable, and friendly person. Mercury in Libra people enjoy having pleasant conversations, and they don't like to argue.

Mercurian Scorpios can oftentimes feel exposed and not know where it's coming from. This is a side effect that comes from Scorpio no matter which planet is in it's position, but Mercury is a bit less protected than other planets because it controls both how we communicate and how we think. So when Mercury is in Scorpio, while Scorpio is a dark and deep sea-diving, aquatic beast in nature, it feels often vulnerable and naked when operating in it's purest form. That's because Mercury in Scorpio is extremely empowered and delighted when in deep thought without disturbance because where Scorpio usually goes is far beyond what others are willing to try or endure for themselves. With great risk comes great reward, which is something all Scorpio placements should keep in mind. Mercury in Scorpio people need to find their strengths and passions and keep them in check so they don't push off their dreams and aspirations. Mercury in Scorpio people also need to communicate more than they may initially realize because of how easy it is to keep stress in the body from mentally processing so many different themes in any given moment.

Eclectic and out-of-this-world thinkers, Mercury in Aquarius people make their mark on the world by offering the ultimate perspective and serving a completely different point of view. Debating with Mercury in Aquarius people is nearly impossible, they seek information in all social settings, they pay attention to the people in the room and guage their motives in a blink of an eye. Their intuition matches the level of a Water Sign, which may surprise you because Mercury in Aquarius is an Air Sign. But the representation of Mercury in Aquarius is pretty accurate because Aquarius is the Water Bearer of the Zodiac, which is quite impressive. Materially speaking, water is the source of life, and as Mercury in Aquarius people seek more information and data to work with and understand, they create intelligent conversations that are, by design, made to share and collaborate on the latest and greatest information out to date.

Mercury in Pisces people love to explore different possibilities of fun, excitement, love, and joy. They put others in their plans and love to communicate loving thoughts, energy, and ideas.

They're mentally observant and adventurous and if you're not adding to the comfort level they're used to, they'll spot it out easily. Mercury in Pisces people accept people for who they are. There's a deep level of need to trust their inner spirit guide or intuition, but the challenge comes with knowing the difference between their own subconscious voice (which can be manipulated and influenced), and their intuition which is much more powerful and innate. Mercury in Pisces people may not always be right but they have a hunch about the things and people around them. Sometimes they can be untrusting due to wanting to protect and keep up with their space and their loved ones. Mercury in Pisces people can be overprotective out of their own idea of love and nurturing.
