What it means in a chart
Mercury in tradition stands for speech, thinking and the way a person takes things apart. The sign says not «what» but «how»: in Aries — directly, fast and first.
One important caveat. Mercury crosses a sign in roughly 25 days, which means this placement is shared by millions of people of one generation. On its own it says almost nothing about a person. Meaning appears once you can see the house and the aspects to the other points — and that depends on the date, time and place of birth.
