Mind the Mercury: What this sign says about your communication skills

THE way we talk and listen is our most powerful strength.

This does have to do with our rising sign, but it's actually our Mercury sign that makes us natter for Britain as well as listen attentively… or not as the case may be.

In the same way that Venus, planet of love, rules the way weromance, communication planet Mercury rules how we talk and engage.

Basically, the winged messenger is the ultimate planet of self-expression.

What your Mercury sign says about you

So how can you determine Mercury's influence on your life? That depends on where your Mercury sign is, which you can find out here.

If you have your Mercury in Scorpio, for example, you will hate to lose any kind of argument, usually insisting on being right. 

You know that friend that could argue night is day? She's probably got her Mercury in Scorpio.

If you find out your Mercury is in the sign of Virgo meanwhile, you will most likely have a razor-sharp mind and can figure out a Rubik's cube in seconds.

Virgo is the most organised of all the zodiac signs, but the main issue with having Mercury there is how finicky you can come across.

You know the people who pay less at dinner because they had one bread roll instead of two? Yeap, probably got Mercury in Virgo.

Those of us with Mercury in Gemini will have wide range of interests and while you might not be an expert on all of them, you really know how to talk the talk.

People love to listen to you because of your epic gift of the gab and we know you make excellent sexters.

Wherever your Mercury sign is, finding out will help you analyse how you're coming across in relationships and business. So what are you waiting for? No more small talk.
