Mercury
The placement of Mercury in our birth chart affects our communication style and the way we convey our intellect to the people around us.
In Greek Mythology, Mercury was the god of communication, commerce, travel, speed, trickery and language. He was the messenger to the gods and therefore his speed was about the processing and sharing of information.
The placement of Mercury in the chart suggests the speed of mental processing, the sharpness of mental acuity, the type of communication preferred and the chosen style of language.
So much of our personality is caught in our words, our expressions, our unique intellect. This placement adds a depth to the chart and can reveal why people do not fully personify their three dominant signs.

Why book a reading?
We know ourselves. Even by the time we are 7 years old, we are aware of our personality. By 15, we know our skill sets. By 25, we understand our communication style. But few people have the language to describe how our personality and our communication styles work together or perhaps how they wage a constant war in our life.
Sometimes the way we learn, is at odds with our love language. Sometimes our love language is at war with our rational mind. Astrology acknowledges the many similar or diverse pieces of ourselves and how they work to put together our adult persona.
As a healer, I am most intrigued by how people exhaust themselves by not fully understanding their own internal dynamics. How people fight against their own personal karmic directions to pursue lives that are at odds with their chart.
A reading offers validation about what is intrinsically yours in this life, and what may be a cloak you have chosen from someone else’s life.
