Mercury is the planet of intellect, speech, trade, writing, calculation and learning. It is youthful, curious and adaptable, and it takes on the nature of the planets around it. A strong Mercury gives quick thinking and good business sense; a stressed Mercury can scatter attention. Its house shows where you think and communicate most.
Leo is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun. It stands for dignity, leadership, creativity, generosity and self-expression. Planets here want to shine, lead and be appreciated. It is the sign of the king, the performer and the manager, with a warm heart and a strong sense of honour.
Astrology describes tendencies, not certainties. A single placement is only one part of a chart; the whole kundli, its strength and the running dasha change how it shows up. For guidance and interest only.
