mercuryOn the little things mean a lot front, I want to give you an idea how wide the range of information you can get from a chart. I’m going to use Mercury as an example because while it’s critical (that’s a Virgo joke), it’s importance is discounted in astrology pretty much as a matter of routine for being un-sexy I suppose. Having Libra, I could argue that. Some say sex is all in the mind.

Mercury rules the mind, communication, siblings, transportation, short trips, neighbors, the hands and some other parts of the body that come in pairs, lungs for example.

This means if you look Mercury in someone’s chart you can tell how they get along (or not) with their siblings and neighbors. You can tell how they drive, how they think, what their hands look like without even seeing them.

You can tell how fast they are going to move, how fast they process information and what they do with the information for that matter.

Do they broadcast it like I do with Mercury conjunct Mars in the big mouth 9th house, or do they covet their information and share very little?

If they do share very little is it because they are private (Pluto influence) or scared of rejection of their ideas (Saturn influence)?

You get the idea. Some people notice hands… the surely notice mine. Think I have girly hands with Mars conjunct Mercury? ::laughs::

My hands have been banged up, burned and in one case my left hand bled for more than 3 years due my wedding ring cutting into it.

I could go on and on but I hope you can see that the information that you can glean from each planet in a chart is endless and if you don’t think that understanding how a person thinks is important, you’ve probably got Neptune involved with Mercury. ;-)

I have Mercury 27 Aquarius Rx in the first house. It opposes Uranus – 23 Leo in the 7th. My Sun is 8 Pisces, also in an intercepted first house. I suppose it could be considered a conjunction. They say the Mercury Rx can indicate slow learners or thinkers. I’m actually quite intelligent. I find that when Mercury goes Rx by transit, I tend to communicate more. Or do things that most people avoid during Mercury Rx. I bought a new computer in 08 and a new car this year. I’ve learned what not to do, though, too!

How they drive, what they drive…

For example, someone like me would never have a dense lumbering car. Scooter type, or quick little car weaving in and out of traffic.

Or a TRUCK. Masculine, see? Vrooooooooom

NO MINI VAN :-)

Mercury in Pisces in 11th opposing Jupiter in Virgo in 5th… Mutual reception baby ;)

I get along VERY WELL with my two younger brothers – perhaps in a deeply emotional almost unseen level. While most people close to me often fight or are not very close to their siblings, my brothers and I have a very very strong bond.

I did drive for a while, but I prefer riding my bicycle. If I drive, I prefer something used (Wow, Piscean, isn’t it?) and very utilitarian – gets me from Point A to Point B. I really don’t care ;)

With my bicycle – I own a Trek hybrid 24 speed bike that scales hills like nobody’s business. And it’s BLUE… very beautiful electric blue with pixelated flowers :)

I think emotionally, intuitively AND on the fly. I work best when creativity is allowed to “flow” and not required to be “planned”, which is my big struggle as a design professional at times. As a makeup artist, however, my way of communicating and working works WONDERFULLY!

Hands… small, long fingers. Girly.

Mercury in Sagittarius conjunct uranus, moon, and sun in the 6th house. Mars in aries trine mercury

No idea what that means.

I have ugly jammed fingers from years of playing basketball and smaller hands than most people I know. I like really long trips where I can daydream. I don’t like drivers that cut me off or that think they can drive better than me.

I like comfortable cars. Spacious, almost like a hangout.

I have a half brother who I never see so I wouldn’t know how I am around him. I’m very demanding in my house.

i am not the best person to ask, diana. many of the folks here are a lot more knowledable than me. but i would guess it would be at least part of it, since mercury rules how you think.

Like Lunalie I’ve got Mercury in the 11th h in Pisces. Conjunct sun and mars, square uranus, sextile ascendant.

I have one brother, 4 years younger than me, and although I often find him annoying, I still consider us to be close. It’s totally intuitive, too. Even when we don’t talk much I still feel close to him. I’ve never been able to understand people who see their siblings almost as strangers.

Driving… I used to have a Prius and whenever I am able to afford another car it will definitely be a Prius again! It’s the perfect car for me. Small, yet roomy. reliable. Plus I really loved the whole 45 mpg. I tend to daydream when I drive or I get all fidgety and drive fast (square with uranus?)

I wouldn’t even be able to begin explaining how I think, but I guess maybe because it IS intuitively. I do think fast, though. (the conjunction with aqua sun and square uranus?)

My hands are very feminine, yet strong. Kind of small but not small and stubby. Like Lunalie, long fingers here too.

My mercury is in the 12th house conjunct uranus and square my 9th house saturn.

I think intuitively and I have tended to keep alot of that to myself. I have one younger sibling that I have a very strong bond with and it is totally unacknowledged. We dont have constant contact because we don’t need to. Every now and again we see each other or speak and there is no getting used to each other time – our bond is just eternal. The other sibling is older and way too conventional for me. We see each other regularly and support each other but the bond requires effort because we are so different. This sibling complains about the other, how little she is in contact etc but it doesn’t bother me in the slightest because I am always in contact with her but on a level that my older sibling doesn’t travel on.

Mercury in Taurus/5th House. T square with Uranus (which is conjunct my midheaven) and Saturn in the 8th. Mercury is also conjunct Chiron.

My hands are healing hands. I’ve done energy work, and hope one day to integrate my love for art (I’m attending an art college full-time, working towards BFA) with that kind of work.
I am highly intuitive and pick up on a lot of things through physical contact with other people. It takes discipline and faith which I don’t always have.
I go to school with a bunch of Pluto in Scorpio gals who are a fair bit younger than me and are always asking me for hugs. I love those gals. I’m a great hugger (though not some creep who goes around offering them, ew).

Siblings…well with that T-square there’s no surprise my 3 sisters and I have a lot of problems over the years. We’re not the Waltons.

Car…don’t drive (don’t know how…this year I hope), but I ride a bicycle daily.

I’m queen of the long bus journey. I taken zillions of them. India to Kathmandu, 30 hours and 22 military checkpoints, what a trip that was. I loved every second.

Mercury in Cancer, 9th house, opposed Saturn in Capricorn. Have no idea how that affects my driving, but I barf my brains out on any form of water transportation, even a big-ass cruise ship, lol. Also can get motion-sickness very easily if I am not driving, no way can I read in the car (get the barf-bag if I do, lol).

Mercury (and moon) in Libra trine Saturn.
NO MINI VAN.Car can be unassuming but must be fun and zippy. I can actually say I have nice hands. I frown when friends have bad hands. I want my friends to look nice, somewhat fashionable and groomed, its important. I can definitely argue a point but that might not be my mercury, I’m not sure.

I’m another Mercury in Aquarius.

I drive, frankly, like a man. I’m all about the carefully controlled speed, prefer to drive a standard over an automatic, like performance; all that jazz.

As for family? My family is dysfunctional, and I prefer not to deal with my immediate family on my father’s side (including him).

My mother had very little family, and she passed away about 8 years ago, so I don’t have any contact with her side.

I’m mostly an island unto myself, these days, family-wise.

My mercury is conjunct Mars in Cap and back in the old days, before computers, I was a graphic artist on the drawing board using pens and pencils and rulers for 10 years. I figure this work required skilled hand-eye co-ordination as a high level motor skill and of course very practical producing tangible results by putting ideas into form.

mercury in aquarius, 5th house… sextile venus,trine mars…. opposition uranus and opposition pluto…and one more, conjunct chiron..a little too much to think abt at once!…a look at the last piece..mercury in 5th conjunct chiron in pisces in 6th..i do reiki, that seems to fit there
…as for driving…i only owned one car, an unsual vw bug model that was a very funky semi-automatic…shifting gears without a clutch, i called her Emy…was very fond of that car although it broke down all the time…aquarian mercury trine mars in cancer?
also drove a suzuki suzy motor bike for one year in the dom. republic…could be mars kicking in there also?

Mercury in Capricorn, Fifth house. I drive what I’ve been given to drive! It started out with a brand new VW when I turned 16, then when I got my first speeding ticket a year later, my parents took it away and gave me an old Buick. Then my significant other for three years gave me a rotation or old VW’s depending on what he had available for me to drive at any given moment. After we broke up, I requested to keep one of his cars, then after the next break up with another boyfriend, he gave me a run-down car, and now my parents have given me their old Volvo…

I expect my husband or his parents will probably provide me with a newer car after I graduate. I don’t expect it, it’s just how it goes with me. If I don’t have a car, I don’t drive, and before you know it, SOMEONE feels like they have to make sure I have a car.

Sure, I don’t mind that.

Mercury and Sun in Scorpio, 10th house. I move fast while I’m thinking about a lot of deep stuff. So … sometimes it’s spooky especially when I’m in driving somewhere new. “LOST” happens, and then I find my way back in ways most people would never think about.

I drive a practical Forrester because I never know when my car will be my home. Is there TURTLE in the astro signs?

My hands are small, tapered and do a lot of my talking.

Mercury in Virgo conjunct Venus/Pluto. Long and graceful fingers (I’ve been told), but I don’t do polish because it’s not practical enough for this Virgo! Gets in the way of cooking all that healthy food. ;-)

Mercury at 28 degrees in my 12th house Taurus.

I normally don’t drive – I take the bus or walk – but when I get a car I want fast roads and open highways and I wanna motorvate. (Thank you Chuck Berry – that’s a great Gemini word!) I don’t think I drive like a Taurus, but normally I want to travel in comfort and style, and lounge on the bus like it’s my private green room. I have music, a book or two, snacks, and possibly a friend quietly on the phone to keep me company. This for a 15 minute bus ride. *grin*

I have a picture of my hands, too –

mars conjunct mercury in Leo. I drive showy cars with style, they are older classic cars, and this combo suits the fourth/fifth straddle of the conjunction. Plus, I like a stick shift.

Mercury sextiles uranus, saturn and venus which is just right for my unusual flashy cars, driven fast and carefully(It’s an art)The mars trines neptune. I’m ALWAYS blasting music in the car.

Along with eyes, hands are among a mans most attractive features as far as I am concerned.

I have very promenent hands, long fingers, I gesture constantly and red nails.

Mercury conjunct Sun in Cancer, 3rd house. Trine Uranus. Square Pluto. Sextile Saturn.

i have mercury on the cusp of 11/12 house in scorpio, and it conjuncts pluto, squares mars, trine jupiter and sextile neptune.

i have big hands, but quite feminine, and long fingers. i can reach more than 8 keys on the piano, but i dont play (such a shame haha) i did play the cello. I have very good hand-eye coordination and like to make things with my hands. When i’m on the phone, or sitting down and talking to someone, my hands are always doing something (doodling, making things with scrap paper etc).

i like learning, or the idea of learning. having mercury on the cusp of the 12th house makes my thinking process murky, but deep. I’m very private (pluto) with my thoughts. i’m always more interested in what others have to say instead of sharing my own thoughts just because most of the time i really cant put my thoughts into words. This is a major issue i have to work on.

my nails grow really fast.

10th House Aquarius Mercury (conjunct Venus, square Mars, sextile Saturn).
I get along really well with my only sibling but we live 15 minutes apart and only see each other once or twice a year. He has Mercury square Uranus so I’m guessing that adds a detached flavour to his thinking too. We talk on the phone occasionally but only when he calls me (his Mercury is in the 3rd house) to ask my opinion on something about our mother (he has Cancer Moon) that he can’t decide. He expects ME, a Piscean, to decide for him?? LOL.
Men’s hands are the first things I notice too… for the same reason as you, Elsa. No ugly hands are going to be touching me thank.you.very.much! My own hands are a little masucline with shorter fingers and a square palm but I usually have feminie silver arty looking rings on 3 fingers of my right hand.
I drive a black Ford Focus with a personalised plate that says “VONZ” with a plate surround that says “sexy bitches drive black cars”. Not sure which transit made me buy that LOL. I know it’s bad but I often text and drive (it’s not illegal over here… yet).

Mercury is pretty prominent in my chart – conjunct my asc., trined by Uranus, trining my 4th house moon in Aries, but squared by 9th house Pluto. Prefer small, fast cars (but not a red sports car, something more subtle and surprising)but I have no trouble managing big ones, even trucks. I am “handy” – mechanical, ms. fixit – hands sort of big, sort of long, always have been thin but not too delicate. Hard to keep them still under all circumstances.

I have Mercury conjunct Venus and Uranus in Cancer in the 9th, square my ascendant and also square Neptune in the 12th. Not sure what that all means so I’m going to look it up.

I am close with most of my 6 sibs, but there’s a couple of sisters who’ve chosen to keep their distance from the family so decided to leave them alone for a while. We were raised mostly by our mostly single mother, who passed away a couple of years ago, so I think we may be milling about a bit (no compass, see) and will re-form again, at least that’s my hope.

As to what I drive, that’s a weird history in itself. In the last 8 years I could have joined the Car-of-The-Month Club, I went through so many vehicles, but right now I’m driving a ’98 Honda with a stoved-in passenger door, but I’m nothing but grateful for it ‘coz for a while there I was on the hoof (no car). I live in a rural state so it’s hard w/ no car, there’s no public transportation. As to how I drive, I used to tailgate and be impatient, but my driving’s mellowed out some as I got older, though I still drive faster than the speed limit.

As to hands, mine are strong and brown and balanced-looking I guess, with long fingers. They’ve worked hard and fed and provided for my children and I appreciate them very much. I like hands though, and I like mine too even though my thumbs say I’m too bossy.

It is so amazing what astrology can tell you, about so many things – big and small! And even though I have Neptune squared my Mercury I’m starting to understand it – wow!

Great post, Elsa P. Thanks!

Mercury in the 4th house (Pisces), conjuncting Mars (chart ruler)- sharp mind, sharp tongue. Opposition Pluto. And boy howdy- check these trines… Trine Moon (Scorpio), Trine AC (Scorpio), & Trine Neptune. Elsa, I’ve got to schedule some time soon- this is looking pretty interesting to me…

Car? Love classic muscle cars, but could care less what I drive myself.- Although, I think I drive fine, everyone that rides with me comments on how bad I am behind the wheel. Siblings/Family? I get along great with my Sis, she’s one of my BEST friends! My brother and I have had some hard times, but it’s only because we can both be very intense. Hey, considering that I grew up in a housefull of Aries (Me, Dad, Sister & Brother) with my poor Mom (Capricorn) having to keep some sort of control, it’s amazing we didn’t burn eachother up! Hands? I bite my nails ’til they bleed, so they’re not pretty- but they work very well and I’ve always considered them my ‘secret weapon’… I can usually defuse anger with a light touch.

I have ad some tremendous breaktrough(some of them very painful) and I am beginning to be the person I was ment to be…and it feels good…scary but good…I have rebuild my relationships with my siblings and my mother…not easy(they like the old me who never said anything better lol)
as for the car…toyota corolla, almost 12 years old, five hundred miles shy of 200,000…it is a tool…I feel like a turtel also…have to have evrything handy just in case!!!

mars conjunct mercury in taurus, conjunct jupiter, opposing neptune.

Hands – very small, real venuslike, no edges, no bone sticking out, soft, fleshy, highly sensitive. No hands to really work with…”a princess´s hand” my mother used to say.

Car – none. But if, it would be one to live in, not spacewise, but, you know – “eat and drink while driving” – comfortable. I like to bumble along, but due to neptune´s influence i fell into trances quite easily, so driving is kind of dangerous for me nowadays. I prefer going by bus or train, if i have to, they are made for trance-trippers like me.

Siblings – two younger brothers. The older one (pisces) passed away in 2001. The younger one is a taurus with sun right on top of my mars-mercury-conjunction. Any guesses? We can get along well every once in a while, but then get into a fight and don´t talk to each other for years. But then we meet accidentialy and – get along fine. Until..

What else? Oh, the older i get, the more outspoken i become. “The truth will set you free”.
I used to be much more romantic and dreamy – and polite – when i was younger, but then i had people step all over me, so i had to chance that gradually. I need my sharp wit to come out and play, it´s just one of my most basic needs, and that´s where my speed and drive are really at. Mindwise… in all other aspects i´m rather lazy.

Oh, gemini sun, by the way, all curiosity ;-) , but easily distracted.

Greetings, mercurians!

mercury conjunct jupiter in leo (7th). i always gesture while talking! apparently use my eyes a lot too but i’m not sure what that comes from.

my hands are meh, nothing remarkable. solid fast moving hands.

i have a very un-leonine car – an old hyundai i inherited from my grandma. but, i live in a city so i don’t drive everyday. lots of people living hear me don’t even have cars but i NEED my car…otherwise i feel trapped! i get lost a lot too (merc-jup trine moon-nep in sag)

I drive a small Mazda but the souped up version. Gotta have speed! And it has to be a stick shift, gives better control of the car. I only drive European or Japanese cars because they get good engineering.

My hands are strong and large for a woman – solid, somewhat artistic hands.

Mercury in libra on 10/11 house cusp. Virgo Sun in 10th. Always did well in school because I grasped things quickly, was respectful of authority and got along with my classmates. I have lots of fun with my siblings! I could never play favorites with them, and vice versa, we have a good time but love nagging and making fun of each other.

I’m also very soft-spoken, I have to consciously speak up so people can hear me. I like my hands, they are smooth, long palm, long fingers, a bit big for my petite frame but not noticeably so. I play guitar, love drawing and writing (always get compliments on my penmanship). I think of everything in relation to each other; I can be indecisive because my instinct is sensitive to imbalanced information.

I only drove a car in high school, it was a mid-sized, simple sedan, not extravagant but also not shabby. I kept it clean with a few, spare accessories (oh but an awesome system for listening to music :) there was a lot of making out in that car haha!

Mercury at 0 degrees Aries conjunct MC, opposite saturn/jupiter, trine uranus.

My mode of transport is a road bike from 1987. I ride fast but cautiously, always with lights and bright clothing. I spend about 1 1/2- 2 hours a day on the road and it is a great time to think and breathe. I’m a nervous type so I need the exertion to unwind.

Despite being rather tall and muscular in build, my hands are very small with long spidery fingers and thumbs. I also have a gemini moon so I do a lot with my hands (piano, art, writing). When I was a kid I broke my wrists frequently and have to take care not to overdo it.

Virgo Mercury, 1st or 2nd house depending on house system (I personally prefer Placidus), trining Moon, MC (actually forming a Grand Trine, but I know some people won’t . I also have Virgo rising, so Mercury is my chart ruler, and three planets and a node in 3rd house, also ruled by Virgo.

All I can tell is that I’m fast, fast and fast. I move fast, I talk fast, I eat fast… I also read and write fast, and am generally speaking good with abstract concepts, which makes me a quick learner.

Siblings: I have a halfbrother (same father, different mother) and a stepbrother (from my stepmother’s previous marriage) who grew up with us. I also was very close to my cousins when we were children. I was the eldest, and took the role quite seriously, especially with Gemini little brother who is almost 13 years younger than me.

Transportation: I hate driving vechiles myself, but love being a passanger. I think that’s related to happy childhood memories, being on the road with my dad.

Work: When I was a teenager, I used to consider most Mercurian jobs – except maybe journalism – quite unglamorous and never dreamed about them. However, I’ve found myself working mostly in commercial field, and actually enjoying what I’ve been doing. For instance, I never realized how much good communication skills matter in some secreterial jobs before taking one.

Hands: One thing about strong Mercury is that I tend to pay attention to people’s hands in general, and have even studied some palm reading. My own hands are quite small, conical, thin and relatively long fingered. They’ve been called “artistic” by numerous people. In any case, they would be hard to ignore, since I use them a lot to gesticulate when talking.

Mercury in Taurus, early 4th house, trine Uranus in Virgo and my Ascendant in Capricorn. My hands like to cook and I love textures (velvet!) of fabrics (cashmere, too!). I drive a CRV, silver (Uranus?), practical (Capricorn) in case of hurricane so I can pack up the dogs and my notebooks (lots of writing done here at home, of course, with Mercury in the 4th!) and get the hell outta Dodge. I’ve always worn one really good ring (silver, there’s that Uranus thing again) on my right hand–Taurus likes quality (as does Cap) I’m supposing.

Bhahah, von, you sound exactly like me. Right down to the capitalized ‘LOL’

Mercury in Aquarius, square mars and pluto. I have to laugh at that, because when it comes to a secret, hot damn do I ever want to know. Not for gossip, or really for any negative OR positive reason, just to KNOW. I like that feeling. And people find me easy to open up to.

For instance, a friend of a friend has been going through a lot of shit lately and in his past. He’s a pretty private guy, he doesn’t like people knowing his shit. Anyways, he ended up telling me some pretty disturbing and personal details of his drug/alcohol problem to me a few weeks ago. He even stopped in the middle of his story to say “… I really don’t even know why I’m telling you this.” and then continued on.

As for my hands and driving… hahah, small pale hands that are ALWAYS, ALWAYS cold. It’s a great weapon vs. tickles and the like. I wear two or three rings at any given time, and like to keep the same combos for as long as it feels right. :)

And I’m a notorious texter/driver too. Hah! I sometimes space out and forget how to pay attention while I’m driving, but I’m not a risk-taker at all. Still sometimes takes me way too long to left-turn across traffic LOL

I have Moon/Mercury so if I had a car, I would paint it on the outside, my car would be my home, I would scatter cds all over it. I knew a guy that had these random children paint his car, or something, they painted a sun and a landscape. I like to ride in people’s cars because it tells so much about them.

I have pudgy, soft little children’s hands, (I either have the 5th or 6th Moon/Mercury in Cancer). They get dry during the winter. I used to like to crochet and do little tasks.

My mercury:
-conjuncts my sun in the 6th house,
-squares saturn
-sextiles neptune
-trines pluto.
-virgo (mercury) ascendant

My hands are craftmans-like. Anverage all around. I use my hands alot, I am a sculptor, I pain my nails, I love hands on men in general, basically I USE my hands.

I love to drive, i drive my car soo much. It’s where i process my life and decisions the easiest, I need movement to think sometimes. I like small compact cars. LOL

wow this IS interesting =)
I have mercury in Pisces in the 9th house… My hands are small, and look kind of old for my age =) I bite my fingernails and crack my knuckles! And give a great massage.. deep tissue, knows all your spots!
Drive a pick up truck.. and a motorcycle. Prefer the motorcycle, or hiking =)
I drive on the fast side, but people say I’m a good driver, except my husband… but he’s the only one that says I’m not! Boo! =) I’m intuitive about driving and anticipate others movements well and am calm.
Hmm what were those other quirky things you can tell about this mercury!?

Needless to say, I drive a minivan that was passed down to me from my mom, haha. AND I have severe road rage!
