When i think of Mercury, being so close to the Sun, orbiting fastest, going retrograde off and on so often, being hot and cold 50/50, ruling communication, wit, humor, social interactions- but also sales and all types of marketing and pr and so forth, i always got the feeling that mercury was the 'court jester' if you will- if you see the sun as the king- the one that is the right hand of the king- mingles with all the others - connects people by of course communication etc etc- it feels off when the most anal of all signs virgo is where he gets exalted- surely the qualities of mercury are better expressed when he is in gemini- the sign that deals more with communication between people- even the symbol the twins shows that- the symbol of virgo is the maiden- not only do i see the qualities of mercury better in gemini- i feel that virgo does not have the qualities that mercury stands out in- the best qualites of mercury are not detailed precise work and dedication- virgo is the original 6 house- the house of everyday general (sometimes boring) work, the house of disease and not only do i think mercury is too quick to even like being in virgo so much- and he likes to mix it up and switch it up to never get bored and he always craves excitement and lots of variation as well- something virgo is not exactly known for- if i had to assign any planet for that matter to be exalted in virgo- it would surely be saturn- the planet that loves to perform everyday routine work and work hard and work so hard it works out all the enemies there- and the planet that always forces us to look at our health and punishes us when we are not looking after ourselves- a saturn in virgo would do that to perfection!
personally i have mercury in capricorn, in the second house, so also very earthy, i dont really know how much of my mercurialism comes from my cappie mercury- or my gemini moon.i personally would assume mercury do better in an air sign than an earth sign- isnt air much more typical of mercury than earth? i feel like the whole premise of mercury is more mental (air) not per se grounded (earth)
what do you think?
