=--s--=Mercury's [Symbol: Mercury] influence is over the brain and nerves, and it has more to do with the mind than with the senses. It gives you good mental ability, ingenuity and adaptability, fertility of resource and wit, and probably a good memory. You should be apt at speech and argument, plausible and of substantial fluency in conversation; but along with this there sometimes goes a degree of subtlety and secrecy, as well as reserve or retirement. Your whole nature will seldom be shown to the world, and there will be one side which you will never show even to your most intimate friends. Your mind is active but a little lacking in concentration and perseverance, and you are likely to occupy yourself with too many subjects, to change a little too rapidly, and to have too many irons in the fire. You can adapt yourself readily to the moods and opinions of people, and can see truth under quite opposite disguises. =--t--=Mercury [Symbol: Mercury] presides over the mind and is known as the "convertible" planet. It is neither positive nor negative, but both. It is the planet of the Adept, being the planet of adaptation in the widest sense of the word. Mercury [Symbol: Mercury] is termed the "Winged Messenger Of The Gods," and takes upon himself the vibration of the other planets. It is, in one word, the planet of reason. In every Horoscope, Mercury [Symbol: Mercury] will represent the Ego in physical manifestation, the actor, playing the part allotted to him during each separate earthly existence; and at the close of each life Mercury [Symbol: Mercury] represents the knowledge gained, as memory, the cram of which is rendered a permanent possession of the Ego as wisdom. You deal best with publishers, speakers, politicians, teachers, lawyers and inventors. =Personal Classifications= Preferable Jewel Agate, especially of bluish or yellowish tinges Colors Best to use and wear, Orange, Yellow, Sky Blue Most Advantageous Day Wednesday Biblical Belongs to the Tribe of Simeon, in Israel Bible References Gen. 49:5, 7 [Sidenote: GEMINI [Symbol: Gemini] SUB-LUMA] =--v--=Gemini [Symbol: Gemini] is the sign of the "Twins," and head sign of the air triplicity. You are extremely affectionate and generous, very courteous and kind to all. You are careful, methodical and prudent. A good manager, and you have a strong musical talent, and could probably compose, if you studied seriously. You are quiet and reserved, preferring to sit by yourself in a corner with a book, but this will never make you any money. You must make a point of keeping your word, as nothing is more important in life than to have this reputation. Learn to give yourself freely; only by loving do we win love. Do not be sarcastic to others, they shrink from you. You are short-sighted only to your own faults, as you are keenly aware of those of others.
