About Mercury

Mercury is your mind in motion: how you take things in, talk, text, plan and argue. It's also the planet of errands, emails and that list on the back of an envelope.

About the 1st house

The 1st house is your front door: the first impression, the way you walk into a room and the body you do it in. It's how you meet the world before anyone's had a proper conversation with you.

Mercury in the 1st, sign by sign

The sign Mercury was in changes the style. Find yours.

AriesYou think out loud and fast, and people meet your opinions before your name: blunt, quick and first to speak in any room.
TaurusSlow, calm and deliberate, yours is the voice people trust, and once your mind is made up it would take a crane to shift it.
GeminiQuick, curious and chatty, you can talk to anyone and change topic three times in one sentence without losing the thread.
CancerYour mood is audible before you speak, and you remember every little thing anyone has told you, which people find disarming.
LeoStories told by you get a little extra drama and a lot of attention, and your way with words is half of your charm.
VirgoSharp, observant and quietly helpful, you're the one who spots the typo and fixes it before anyone else has noticed.
LibraDiplomatic and charming, you choose your words carefully so everyone feels heard, even when you completely disagree.
ScorpioPerceptive and intense, you ask one quiet question that gets straight to the heart of things and leaves people slightly exposed.
SagittariusFrank, funny and full of big ideas, you say what everyone else was thinking, usually louder than strictly necessary.
CapricornSerious and capable at first glance, you choose words carefully, and your dry humour sneaks up on people later.
AquariusOriginal and slightly unexpected, you hold unusual opinions and aren't remotely bothered about standing out from the crowd.
PiscesDreamy and gentle, you speak in images rather than facts, and strangers somehow end up telling you their life story.
