What Mercury does in a chart

Mercury is the part of the chart that answers one question:How do I process and explain things? It describes thinking and talking — not events, and not outcomes.

What Libra does to it

Libra is a air sign, so it moves on ideas and conversation. It is also cardinal, which means it starts things. Put those together with Mercury and you get thinks in comparisons — balancing, relational, fair, applied specifically to thinking and talking.

Libra is ruled by Venus, so this placement tends to be coloured by love style as well.

The useful version

Placements are not verdicts. This one describes a default setting, not a limit — the things listed above are what you do when you are not thinking about it, which is exactly why noticing them is worth something.

Is your Mercury actually in Libra?

Mercury moves at its own pace and does not follow your sun sign. The only way to know is to calculate the chart.
