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 7th house

The 7th house is about the people you pair up with: partners, spouses, best friends and business allies, plus the occasional worthy rival. It shows what you look for in another person and what they mirror back.

Mercury in the 7th, sign by sign

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

AriesA partner who argues back suits your quick mind; a sparky debate feels closer to you than a quiet night in.
TaurusWith a partner you listen patiently and speak reassuringly, but once you've decided something, the debate is quietly over.
GeminiHours of conversation with a partner still leave you with more to say, which is exactly the kind of relationship your mind needs.
CancerA partner's mood registers with you instantly, and sharp words in a relationship stay in your head for ages, so choose yours kindly.
LeoIn love you speak warmly and generously, and you want a partner who is also your most appreciative audience.
VirgoNothing about a partner escapes your notice, so be gentle with feedback; you show love by solving their problems practically.
LibraYour mind thinks in 'we', so talking things over with a partner is genuinely how you work out what you think.
ScorpioYou read a partner like a book and need a relationship where the hard conversations happen honestly, not in hints.
SagittariusHonest to a fault with a partner, you want someone who shares your big ideas and laughs at your terrible jokes.
CapricornTalking about the future early in a relationship comes naturally, because you want a partner as committed and reliable as you.
AquariusFriendship first, romance second: you want an equal who loves your strange ideas and gives you plenty of space to think.
PiscesPartners feel almost psychically understood by you, but watch you don't only hear what you wish they'd said.
