Dominant Mercury

Those who have Mercury as the most Dominant planet have the capacity to think quickly and clearly, to articulate themselves fluently, to use one's hands deftly, to be aware and swift to respond, to manage new circumstances with ease, to be mentally active and quick to learn. Their intelligence may be used regularly to solve issues, write down thoughts quickly, and share knowledge with others.

Mercury Dominants enjoy using their hands, tongue, and head in an active environment; and have a flair for judging size, weight, and distance. Curiosity allows them to store many facts in their minds, and a need for variety prompts them to continually try new things.

Their personal interests lure them to speaking, teaching, writing, or printing; to students and youth-oriented groups, and to mental activities in general. Mercurians like to stay informed with the latest in news or sports and enjoy chatting with just about anyone.

With a strong Saturn as well, there is a talent for project-management, a memory for numbers, a knack for record-keeping, estimating the cost of materials and listing amounts of materials required for a job, and memorizing long, intricate scripts or routines.

With a strong Mars, there indicates a coordination of mind and muscular action, and a facility for mathematics and handling figures.
