Mercury in Virgo

   


photoMERCURY IN VIRGO MENTALITY:

People with Mercury in Virgo are ‘smart’ in the true sense of the word in that they possess an impressively practical form of intelligence. Not only are their reasoning processes unusually careful and sharp, but they nearly always also have a useful concrete application.

Because Mercury in Virgo individuals are better at reading the fine-print than seeing the bigger picture, they often tend to miss the main issue of a problem or situation since they can’t ‘see the forest for the trees’. On the other hand, this is by far the best Mercury placement for any kind of work requiring good analytical skills, an aptitude for complicated techniques and/or a keen eye for detail.

These people’s intellectual perfectionism represents both their greatest strength and their biggest weakness. The high level of importance they place on accuracy, coupled with a fear of errors, makes them conscientious, diligent students and employees. But since in their minds, their efforts may never be quite good enough, they can waste a lot of time getting nowhere, just going round in circles, constantly worrying about dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s.


MERCURY IN VIRGO COMMUNICATION:

The communicative style of Mercury in Virgo individuals is precise, correct, and very much to the point. These are straight speaking people, famous for their sharp tongues and biting sarcasm, who don’t beat around the bush or suffer fools gladly.

Quick to pick holes in errors of reasoning, woolly arguments or factual inaccuracies, at times they come across as hypercritical, rude and pedantic. Giving praise and compliments doesn’t come naturally to these Mercury types, since their highly analytical minds always see further scope for correction and improvement. Their discriminatory faculties give them an enviable talent for cutting through verbal waffle and baloney to home in on the relevant facts. At the same time, they sometimes place too much emphasis on the proper use of language, grammar and manners, while disregarding the true meaning and content of what is actually being said.

These individuals have little interest in idle conversation with no concrete purpose and can feel uncomfortable discussing abstract or emotionally themed topics. On the other hand, their talent for coming up with logical answers and solutions to practical problems is highly valued by those who benefit from their useful advice.
