Mercury

The Planet Mercury in Astrology Meaning

Mercury is considered the third planet in Astrology, and is therefore connected to the number three in numerology. Being extremely dexterous and somewhat tentative it is also tied to the number eleven. It is associated with the Zodiac signs of Gemini and Virgo and the element of air (and therefore also with the minor arcana suit of swords). Like the birthstone Aquamarine, Mercury is known for intermingling and travel.
