Mercury in Aries

With Mercury in Aries, you think fast and speak plainly. Your mind works through direct hunches, likes to decide and to argue, and prefers an imperfect decision made now to a deliberation that drags on.

In meetings you have the answer before the question is over, and you sometimes struggle to let others finish their sentences. Mercury in Aries gives quick, frank thinking that goes straight to the point. You learn by doing: a manual bores you, so you take the device apart and figure it out. In conversation you enjoy a debate, being contradicted fires you up, and you aren’t afraid to say out loud what others only think. Your messages are short, sometimes too short. That sharpness is valuable when something needs deciding, launching or unsticking. The difficulty is haste. You may answer an email while still irritated, judge an idea before hearing it out, or interrupt people without noticing. Slower minds can feel flattened by your pace. Your intelligence reaches further when you learn to ask one more question before concluding, and to reread before you hit "send".
