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.
Virgo is a dual earth sign ruled by Mercury. It stands for analysis, service, health, precision and practical skill. Planets here become careful, detail-oriented and helpful, and they like to improve things. It is the sign of the accountant, the healer and the craftsperson.
