Mercury is the inner planet that acts like an outer planet, and nobody notices.

He has always been a tricky and somewhat mysterious member of our cosmic family. Mercury was the original maverick of the chart, going his own way and abiding by his own rules. His close position to the Sun, his unique cycle, his ever-changing speed and direction makes Mercury elusive and hard to keep up with. This fascinating and enigmatic little planet is often overlooked.

Mercury is known as a troublemaker and a trickster, yet he is also said to be the messenger of the Gods. He has a long association with rational thinking and with magic because his namesakes – Hermes, Idris, Enoch, and Thoth – brought language, writing, astrology and magic to man.

So, who is Mercury and what does he really represent in the chart? How does all this translate in chart delineation? This presentation will look at the astronomy, astrological tradition and philosophical meanings of Mercury, as well as the practical application in charts of this ever so elusive planet.
