Mercury is a planet that follows the sun in astronomy. It is small in size and moves fast. In Greek mythology, Mercury Hermes is Zeus’s illegitimate son. He is very smart and can talk and walk as soon as he is born. He wears a winged hat on his head, holds a double snake scepter in his hand, and wears flying shoes. He is slender and good at moving, and is assigned as a messenger. In astrology, Mercury represents the mind, learning and expression ability, as well as the performance in primary and secondary school. It is the ruling planet of Gemini and Virgo. Mercury also represents brothers and sisters, and those who meet unexpectedly, such as classmates, colleagues, etc. In addition, it is in charge of short-distance travel. When Mercury falls into a mutable sign, such as Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius, it is easy to be the kind of person who runs around.

Because Mercury is closest to the Sun and is no more than 28 degrees away from the Sun on the ecliptic, a person’s Mercury sign is either the same as the Sun sign, or the sign before or after it. For example, when a person’s Sun is in Aries, then his Mercury can only be in Pisces, Aries or Taurus. So when we communicate with a person, if you are careful enough, when you know his Sun sign, you can boldly guess his Mercury sign through his way of thinking and expression.
When Mercury is in good aspect with other planets in the horoscope, they usually have strong logical analysis and language expression ability, they have strong learning ability, understand quickly, and are easy to communicate with. However, if Mercury is afflicted, they are prone to confusion in expression or communication barriers, which may cause them to be argumentative, love to spread rumors, or their words are not listened to, often have quarrels, and have difficulty in self-control.
Mercury in Sagittarius is a weak position. Compared with Mercury’s shrewdness and calculation, Mercury in Sagittarius will become a kind of wise and foolish sense of humor. They often blurt out without thinking much, always giving people a feeling of lack of emotional intelligence. They judge things through their own perception, have a wide range of interests, and are easily distracted. They are keen on making long-term plans or are full of imagination about the future. They need direction and guidance.
In terms of personality, people with Mercury in Sagittarius are generous and sincere to others and do not like to deceive. Because of their sincere and direct personality, they are easily deceived by appearances and ignore the truth. They respect authority in the field of work. People with Mercury in Sagittarius are likely to be interested in higher education, linguistics, sociology, religion and philosophy. They pursue spiritual freedom and are deeply interested in philosophy and religion. They think based on traditional morality and social norms, and these ideas play an important role in their spiritual improvement. They pay attention to the growth of the mind, love any form of travel, and like to talk endlessly. If Mercury is afflicted, they are likely to feel preachy, dogmatic and pedantic.
People with Mercury in Sagittarius are very direct in their expressions and will clearly tell others what they think, but they may not use emotional words. They have a strong sense of morality and often unconsciously give spiritual and moral lectures to others. However, since the moral values of Mercury in Sagittarius come from the entire society and traditional system, it is difficult for moral standards to escape the scope of the entire social conventions and are easily restricted by inherent rules.
Mercury Sagittarius hopes to be seen, recognized or respected by others. They respect rules, worship authority, and tend to have a strong admiration for the strong. In the workplace, they also hope to be the best in their professional field so that they can play freely without interference from others. The pursuit of the highest achievement will become your behavioral principle, which is the embodiment of truth.
Mercury in Sagittarius is an open-minded, pleasure-loving person who may travel frequently, especially if there are other factors in the chart that support this. Mercury in Sagittarius is more suitable for work as a tour guide, logistics, network, or communication. This person also has a talent for storytelling, and although the stories they tell may not be precise or detailed, these anecdotes are always very interesting and can bring out the meaning and purpose behind them. People with this Mercury position have a broad perspective and can easily grasp the key points of things. This person seems to be born to comment on religious, political, and philosophical issues. Sagittarius is concerned with the moral issues in a particular situation, so this Mercury position can also be quite critical, but this person also tends to have an open mind and is willing to assume others are innocent until there is sufficient evidence.
People with Mercury in Sagittarius have a strong interest in learning and a strong curiosity. They like to ask questions to various people or travel to various countries to broaden their horizons. They are willing to actively explore knowledge to improve themselves, so as to understand the meaning of life and improve their philosophical thinking. However, due to their lack of intellectual integration ability, they may end up filling their minds with all kinds of scattered information and only know how to talk big or be impractical.
They like to speak frankly and believe that truth is more important. Therefore, sometimes you should be careful about too direct criticism and language expression, which can easily offend people. People with Mercury Sagittarius are good at planning, but may be a little lacking in implementation. Mercury Sagittarius treats people sincerely and has sharp intuition. Their intuition is not the sixth sense, but the most primitive insight. So when others are still considering whether this sentence is appropriate, Mercury Sagittarius has already blurted it out. They can always say what everyone thinks in their hearts but cannot say it out loud.
Compared with Mercury Scorpio, Mercury Scorpio likes to summarize and criticize, always giving people a sense of unexpected reversal, while Mercury Sagittarius’s expression is the most direct description of the present moment, which everyone understands and has this experience, but no one will say it, and when Mercury Sagittarius expresses it, it will give people a sense of disharmony that is inconsistent with the current environment. It is precisely because of their simplicity and straightforwardness that they are not too calculating and are easily tricked.
