The planet Mercury rules over communication, logic, ways in which people are thinking, education, neighbors, relatives, means of travel on short distance, exchange of information and even news.

Furthermore, it makes them less objective when they’re trying to analyze themselves because their mind and ego seem to be the same thing.

They have this ability to integrate their personality with almost anything, but this doesn’t indicate that their life is going to be without problems. It only shows how satisfied they usually are with all of their goals and what they’ve managed to achieve.
If a situation doesn’t benefit them in one way or another, they’re not even trying to adapt to it. Being motivated to make all of their dreams come true, success is sure to follow them everywhere, but they’re never investing any time and energy in what isn’t meant to bring them any benefit.
