Mercury in Aries Sign

In Aries Zodiac sign, Planet Mercury tells of one who reacts quickly, is sensitive, perceives artistic values; appreciates originality; is delighted by skill, talent and creativity; and is capable of offering criticism on the highest level. The astrologer must help the native to become something more then merely clever. He needs to learn the value of being thorough, determined - creative rather than merely headstrong.

Indications are that the native is fluent in speech.

Your mind is quick and active, and you tend to grasp concepts with lightning speed. If

an idea or subject interests you, you pursue it with fervor and enthusiasm. However,

you have trouble sticking with anything for long, and your memory isn't very good.

Your mind is always racing from one thought to another, and you find it difficult to concentrate.

When you fear losing the visible impact of direct and authoritative communication, you cease to communicate successfully with others. You may have a tendency to speak in ways that appear aggressive, overbearing, and almost militant in expression.

This challenging, intimidating attitude toward the audience can result in alienation and misunderstanding.

You especially enjoy exploring new ideas and concepts. You don't believe something just because everyone else does, and you can be something of a renegade thinker. Conventional wisdom and accepted truths don't have much value for you, and you are eager to contest them with original ideas of your own. This is the position of the inventor and the adventurer. Because you aren't blinded by religious attitudes and beliefs, you sometimes come up with brilliant insights and epiphanies. But in your headlong rush to discover the new you sometimes overlook important bits of information or are careless in your research.

You have a powerful voice and tend to speak loudly and forcefully. This planetary position often signifies the dynamic orator or the irritating loud-mouth. You love to argue, and will debate almost any issue heatedly, even if your purpose is only to exercise your mental muscles. Verbally assertive, even provocative, you get yourself into trouble regularly because you donm't know when to hold your tongue or use a bit of tact. You have a real knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. 

Even when you aren't angry, your tone of voice can be so abrasive that it antagonizes others immediately; and you can be difficult to get along with. Your bark, however, is much worse than your bite, and if your Sun is in Taurus or Pisces you are probably a pussycat who roars like a lion.

Mercury placed in the sign Aries indicates a way of thinking that is inclined to be decisive and competitive. The natives are fond of debate and argument. They often have the ability to think rapidly, and may produce many original ideas.

If Mercury is afflicted in this sign, there can be irritability and a quick temper.

If Mercury is in negative aspect to Mars there may be impulsive thinking and hasty actions.
