Planets in signs and houses
Mercury in the 6th House
Tropical zodiac, Western astrology
Mercury in the 6th house makes you good at detail, analysis and organising work. Colleagues often rely on you to solve the small problems, and you like checklists, schedules and clear methods. Your thinking affects your energy a lot, since mental stress can leave you drained or out of sorts. Do not let precision turn into fault-finding. Give your mind a rest with a walk or a few deep breaths, and your sharpness will work for you rather than against you.
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.
