This is a personal observation and opinion concluded by experiments and research. Other aspects of the chart should be taken into consideration. This is only a general overview so do not jump directly to a conclusion, little knowledge can be dangerous.

**Aries:** Mercury's energy will be combined with Mars’s fiery energy. The native tends to have a habit of “ Think fast and act fast” type of energy. sharp-minded and very clever in nature in a sense the native is always equipped with innovative ideas and solutions. The thinking pattern can be full of decisiveness, straightforwardness, and impulsiveness. Communication with them could be easy and understandable in the sense they make it clear and easy to understand but can also be immoral and impatient sometimes.

**Taurus: **Mercury here is combined with the earth element of Venus. The person here has a sharp mind, grounded, and solitude in thinking patterns and communication. A very strategic and calculative individual who knows what type of action or words should be said to gain. Mercury here does extremely well in budgeting, business, or financial matters. There is one idea in their mind which is “How to put my life in order in every aspect of my life”, so perhaps you can see them being soft-spoken, polite, and having good relationships in their personal life or the workplace.

**Gemini: **Here Mercury is in its sign where it fully expresses itself. The one will always be seen as an intelligent, smart, polite, and liberal personality where it’s easy to connect and communicate with. Due to their open-minded nature, the native is well respected and honored. Gemini Mercury tends always to win arguments and debates because they won’t say a word unless they know what they’re talking about. They love to be independent, have freedom, and personal space to grow and evolve.

**Cancer: **Now Mercury's energy is combined with a watery sensual sign ruled by the Moon. Mercury tends to find a balance between logic and emotions, between practicality and sensuality. The intellectual and analytical thinking of a person tends to be affected by being connected to people’s emotions and psychological patterns. They know how and what should be done to get what they want by knowing the psychological pattern of the person in front of them. This placement can also indicate strong intuition. Their speech and communication are very smooth and always ready to answer.

**Leo: **This could be a powerful placement of Mercury, where the energy is combined with the royalty of the Sun. The native here has a strong personality, confidence, and intelligence in their speech and communication. They’re charismatic and know how to attract people’s attention. Their mental capabilities are exceptional in the sense they were born to become a leader. Sometimes people can see them as arrogant and egoistic too due to their ambition and desire to become famous. Eventually, they tend to gain a lot of respect, recognition, and fame due to Mercury's placement.

**Virgo: **Mercury here is exalted, which means the full potential energy of Mercury can manifest. The person here can find the potential of manifesting ideas into reality, in other words their mind is very active in creating and blossoming new ideas. If the Moon is in a favorable sign, it can manifest as someone whose mind is always occupied by something. Excellent placement for entrepreneurship and business, they might be good also in writing and speech. Such people can also achieve higher positions in their field and recognition due to their practicality and unique analytical approach.

**Libra: **Mercury's energy is combined with the energy of Venus. This placement can positively improve Mercury’s quality in terms of intellectual communication, analytical thinking, and mind. They’re artistic and creative who love to think out of the box. Such people are soft-spoken and polite, with the power to persuade others. They’re very diplomatic and strategic in their plans, know-how, and what should be done to attain the opportunity. Such people usually have a strong inclination towards luxury items, architecture, and sophisticated lifestyles.

**Scorpio: **Mercury's energy here is in the deep water of Scorpio ruled by Mars. If Moon is not strong enough, it can manifest some psychological impact when MD, AD, or PD comes. Mercury does excellently when it comes to research and investigation, their intuition is always on point, and know exactly how to get the answers they’re looking for, probably the most dangerous and beautiful placement of Mercury, their intelligence is very high. They can be aggressive, impolite, and sound harsh sometimes, they are always thinking logically and practically, where the emotional side is hidden.

**Sagittarius: **The Mercury energy here is combined with Jupiter energy where philosophy and higher knowledge will merge with analytical thinking and intelligence. Although Mercury and Jupiter are considered enemies, since they’re naturally beneficial planets, they can give excellent results. People with such placement are philosophers and thinkers in nature, their approach or analytical thinking will be connected with the morality of life or belief system. They are interested in topics related to religion, philosophy, history, languages, and foreign cultures. Their communication is very balanced, liberal, and perhaps open-minded but also they can give you a stubborn attitude too.

**Capricorn: **Nowhere The Mercury energy is combined with Saturnian influence. In my personal opinion, this could be the most auspicious placement after being exalted in Virgo. This placement can manifest as someone who is very clever, tactical, strategic, and has a very narrow mind when it comes to business or working in their field where they tend to excel in their 30s and achieve higher positions. Their communication is grounded, and structured, which can be harsh at the same time.

**Aquarius: **Mercury's energy is combined with Saturnian energy too, but perhaps the aim is more toward the public on a higher scale. Their mind, emotions, self-expression, and thoughts are balanced, in a sense, people can think they’re emotionless; but actually, they tend to not get attached to people or circumstances around them, they just go with the flow and are open to all possibilities. They can have an unorthodox approach or illogic thinking which makes them unique and very creative individuals.

**Pisces: **This is where Mercury is considered to be debilitated; it’s debilitated at 15degree of Pisces. Mercury here can give excellent results if the native knows how to use his intuition, inner guidance, and imagination in their favor; they’re outbox thinkers and imagination plays an important role in analytical thinking and logical approach that’s why people usually seek people who have such placement for emotional support. They might face difficulties in expressing their emotions properly, so misunderstandings may occur regularly especially in romantic relationships. But this placement DOES NOT define someone as less intelligent, they can do really well in mathematics, engineering, learning different languages, etc.
