Hermes alone walked freely between Olympus, the marketplace, and the underworld — god of messages, merchants, and cunning roads. Mercury governs the traffic of your mind: how you think, speak, learn, joke, and persuade. Its sign colors the voice in your letters and the speed of your wit, whether your thoughts march in legions or scatter like quicksilver. Wherever Mercury stands, language is your instrument; the sign names its tuning.
