The Basics

In Astrology, Mercury represents communication, intellect, and mental processes. It influences how we think, express ourselves, and gather knowledge, playing a crucial role in shaping our communication skills and mental abilities.

Mercury in Sagittarius highlights your need for exploration, adventure, and the pursuit of knowledge. You are more interested in what is possible and what is on the horizon rather than what has already been done.  Subjects like philosophy, religion, politics, or education interest you, and you are more concerned with theories, abstractions, and concepts than their specific, physical applications. 

People who know you know that you don't beat around the bush – and are prone to say things for their shock value.  You are apt to say the first thing that pops into your head as you inherently believe filtering comments is untruthful.  Though honesty is always the best policy, you may need to learn to control your tongue, develop tact, and to think before speaking.

You have a broad-minded approach to learning, and you excel in fields that involve teaching, publishing, travel, or anything that allows you to expand your horizons and share knowledge with others.

In relationships, you value intellectual stimulation and the freedom to explore new ideas and experiences together.

Cosmodynes

*Look at your Cosmodyne scores to see whether your Mercury is Harmonious or Discordant.

While everyone has good and bad days, your Cosmodynes reveal where you lean toward on average.

(As we age, we learn to deal with all of our placements, and hopefully, we evolve into more harmonious beings than our Natal charts suggest.)

Transits to your Mercury, especially from the outer planets, can greatly affect its expression as well.

A Discordant Mercury in Sagittarius

Remember, everyone's charts are unique and complex.  Describing a single element of a chart (like Mercury in Sagittarius) doesn't account for other influences that would provide more details.
