In Greek mythology, Mercury was the messenger of the gods. He symbolises our mentality in general- our intellect as well as how we see things. Generally, it controls the way we think and the way we interact with others. As Hermes, he is the symbol for the magus, the wise adviser of the gods and also divine messenger. Interestingly enough, he was also prince of thieves!?Mercury rules over the Zodiac signs Gemini and Virgo.
This fast-moving planet is known to represent ideas, techniques and a vast wealth of knowledge, especially those that are expressed through interpersonal and broadcast communication. Mercury is the ruler of writers, research analysts, sales agents, travellers, tricky magicians, and all types of consultants that help companies attain success with their counselling. Through the leadership of Mercury in our hands, this planet also controls our dexterity, mechanical skills and the coordination of our bodily movements.
Because he was the divine messenger, Mercury is also known to govern the paths that we take in life- where we came from, where we are now, where we are going and how we can reach our ultimate life desination.
