Planets in signs and houses
Mercury in the 10th House
Tropical zodiac, Western astrology
Mercury in the 10th house makes you known at work for your ideas and communication skills. You suit jobs that involve speaking, writing, selling, teaching, planning or coordinating. Your reputation is of someone clever, quick to adapt and able to explain hard things simply. Some people with this placement change careers several times. Beware of spreading yourself so thin that nothing stands out. Choose one or two areas of expertise and build your name through steady consistency.
Mercury in a birth chart
Mercury is the planet of mind and message. It describes how you gather information, think things through, speak and write, and how you learn. In myth it is the messenger who moves between worlds, and in a chart it shows how you connect ideas and people.
