Mercury transmits an astral vibration that manifests the desire to think, learn, communicate and inform here on Earth. You have an intellectual urge.
Mercury codes for the emergence and evolution of intellectual thinking. It’s characterized by perception, the recognition of size, weight, form and color, objective reasoning, verbal or written expression and intelligence.
It set the scene for language, communication, academic learning, knowledge-building, science, teaching, informing, reporting and a social stratum composed of academics, intellectuals, scientists, teachers, writers and journalists.
Finding food requires intelligence and previous experience saved in memory allows you to recall where you found it. Successful living, learning new tasks, acquiring an education, solving problems, outsmarting opponents and understanding yourself and the natural world requires effective intellectual thinking.
The symbol for Mercury 
depicts the crescent of the soul surmounting the circle of spirit which surmounts the cross of matter. Its coded message reveals that soul and spirit have triumphed over sensation.
Mercury in your birth chart measures the strength and functional status of your intellectual urge. As a dynamic component of your character, it’s a collection of thoughts, feelings and impulses that have the same vibratory rate as Mercury.
It’s the reasoning center in your soul so your brain isn’t doing your thinking. It expresses a narrow range of intellectual behaviors – your way of objective reasoning, learning, solving problems and communicating – that have developed through experience into an intellectual behavior habit-system.
Your intelligence, perception skills, cognitive activity and capacity to learn, memorize, remember, talk, communicate, write, solve problems, make reasoned judgments and clock-watch are an expression of your not-conscious intellectual urge. Its best quality is expression; and its worst is restlessness.
