Planets in signs and houses
Mercury in the 7th House
Tropical zodiac, Western astrology
Mercury in the 7th house puts conversation at the heart of your relationships. You want a partner you can talk to about both serious matters and small things, and you are often good at negotiating, mediating or working in partnership. Your bonds are like a conversation room that needs ideas moving through it. The pitfall is analysing the relationship instead of feeling it, or arguing until you forget to listen. Listening as much as you speak deepens understanding between 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.
