Descriptions of Mercury in Taurus, Gemini, Cancer and Leo

Last time, we got familiar with how Mercury acts in Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and Aries. Today, we will learn how this planet shapes up people’s communication and learning style in Taurus, Gemini, Cancer and Leo.

Mercury in Taurus

Here we have a placement that makes sure that there is sweetness in communication. Because of this, when they speak they might sound soft and appealing. But this does not mean that Mercury in Taurus is all about things that are emotional. Apparently, its carriers prefer seeing west, east, north and south before opening their mouth. In short, they have to look at all sides of a matter before saying something about it. Astrologers, that is why, like to claim that this placement is slow to speak. But this is not the case. If the Mercury in Taurus person is quiet about something it is always because they are trying to know whether the words or decisions they are going to process have any value or not. So in a way, they are quite similar to Mercury in Capricorn natives. Since Taurus is guided by Venus, when it is in Mercury it brings out the artistic side of its carrier in daily communication and thoughts. Now because of the Venus relation, Mercury in Taurus people can have a good ability to understand the areas pertaining to home, wealth and architecture. Thus, they have the potential to become great performers in the fields of real estate, banking, interior designing and even home economics. But to do well in school, memorization will best help the Mercury in Taurus student.

Mercury in Gemini

This is the vagabond of communication and thus, can be found chatting almost about everything under the sun. There is no time to stay with one topic. It is just that there is so much to know and discuss. Yes, this is what Mercury in Gemini is all about.  A person with this placement might appear to be Jack of all trades to some, but again think about the next line, “master of none”! So in a way, we can say that Mercury in Gemini keeps a little bit of knowledge about all topics, but does not have the interest to master in anything specific. Despite this, it is one placement blessed with excellent communication style. The reason behind this is that the sign Gemini is quite comfortable in its mother planet, Mercury, allowing its carriers to choose the right words at the right time. However, this can at times, turn into a curse. Mercury in Gemini tends to give into the moments and this means flirting with just about anyone from the opposite sex. Unfortunately, this can create much confusion later especially if the Gemini Mercury was doing it all with no intention of starting up a relationship.  But as a student, they can do well almost in every course because of their liking for knowledge. The professions that best match their abilities are journalism, hosting shows and even writing script for movies. 

Mercury in Cancer

Now here we have a placement that works with emotions. Cancer is ruled by moon after all. Talking is done only when necessary, but it is usually directed with emotions. Guided by intuition, Mercury in Cancer carriers pick up words that will appear pleasing to the other party. So to some extent, it is no different from Mercury in Pisces, but remember Cancer is a cardinal sign. So it is not as passive as some might think. In fact, in Mercury, it can make its carrier a go getter in conversation and intelligence. Yet this placement does well in humanitarian causes. This is due to the fact that it can easily pick up emotions, helping its carrier understand the ones in need. Because of this same reason, Mercury in Cancer natives can see success fields related to sociology and psychology.

Mercury in Leo

This is the dramatic communicator and also the life of the party. The reason is very simple and that is, the sign of Leo is programmed to stand out. In mercury, it is the show stopper!  A little proud of its own thoughts, but depending on mood, Mercury in Leo can easily spread happiness or cause much sorrow in its environment. So in a way, this placement brings both ups and downs in the life of its carrier. Even after all this, Mercury in Leo has the passion to study about the topic of its interest and that is also without getting tired. Yet it must be noted that the topic of its interest usually has broader or artistic characteristics and often involves performing onstage. It is just that Mercury in Leo likes the word “bravo” and sees success in popularity. That is why, we can easily conclude a person with this placement will do well in mass communication. Of course, this major as many different fields, but none will be harder for Mercury in Leo to get into.
