Mercury is the smallest planet of all our Solar system’s planets.

Mercury never moves more than 28 degrees away from the Sun, viewed from our Planet, and that is why it can rarely be seen with a naked eye.

This planet carries the name of the Roman god who ruled trade, merchants, travel, travelers, communication, eloquence, shopkeepers, messengers, thieves, deceit, tricksters, and it was often considered the god of good luck.

In astrology, Mercury rules the mind, communication, thinking, reason, rationality, adaptability, our school and education, our neighbors, our immediate surroundings, our cousins and siblings, messages, calls, emails, news, newspapers, writing, information, curiosity, wit, deceit, trickery, etc.

Mercury rules the signs of Gemini and Virgo. It spends around 7.5 days in each zodiac sign while orbiting the sun.

Although it has the most strength in the signs it rules, the signs it passes through adds the influence to this planet.

In this article, we talk about the traits of the planet Mercury while it transits the sign of Aquarius, and its influence on people born with this planet in Aquarius.
