	* What Does Mercury Represent in Your Natal Chart? What is it ... and why is it important?

In mythology, Mercury was the winged messenger of the Gods.

Your mind -- at work and play

In Astrology, Mercury represents your conscious, rational mind. It tells a lot about your intellectual self; your ability to study, learn, analyze, communicate and work with information.

Mercury depicts your capacity to form ideas and opinions, the way you deal with facts, and the way you process data. It shows the kinds of things that interest you ... and what you do with what you know.

When you consider that the way you think is absolutely crucial to the way you shape and work with reality, Mercury gives vital information about the perspective through which you engage the world. It is literally the symbol for your intellectual view of life.

Where your mind is invested

Its position in the Zodiac on the day you were born is what determines your "Mercury Sign" ... and that, along with your birth time, determines the house in your Natal Chart Mercury occupies.

The house in your Natal Chart tells the area of life where your mind is literally invested ... doing the work it does to support you and helping you understand and work with life.

Essentially, Mercury's sign position tells the qualities and characteristics of your mental self; Mercury's house position tells where and how you use it.

Mercury in General -- Your Inner Selves of Learning and Work ---> Learning stuff, using your mind and putting it to work ---> Like Venus, your Mercury energy describes two inner selves. One manages your mind and all its talents; the other is in charge of the work you do ... the ways you use your skills and abilities to help others and build the kind of life your want for yourself. Again, as with Venus, these are usually reduced to the basic categories of "mind" and "work,"

Mercury -- Physics, Metaphysics and Myth -- Part 1 ---> Physics ---> Mercury is the closest planet in our Solar System to the Sun.
