According to Indian astrology Mercury, ruler of both Gemini and Virgo the Third and Sixth Houses, is about, above all else, communication. We communicate through eye contact, speech, body language, telepathy etc. but however we do it; it is our link and connection with our fellow humans (and animals).
It is believed that there was time, before sophisticated speech was developed; communication was about warning of approaching danger and as a means of marking out territory. This is still much in evidence in the world of birds and animals. Bees communicate by dancing!
Indian astrology says that Mercury is concerned with how we process information collected from our environment and relay it outwards.
In its sleeping state, Indian astrology believes that this becomes natural; we are picking up hints from our environment all the time, sometimes subliminally and we react and act accordingly.
Indian astrology narrates that, Mercury is associated with our earliest education at school, where lessons and information is based on receiving facts. Someone with strong Mercury may have a need to speak without much thought to what is being said so we get clever sound bites and word play.
In its awakening state, Indian astrology believes that Mercury is concerned with the ins and outs of language, intellect and the use of selection and discrimination (where we can see the connection to Virgo). It is able to select detail and home in on the smallest pieces of information which make up the whole picture.
In its highest form, Mercury becomes a powerful tool in communicating the truth and beauty of language and literature.
Indian astrology further narrates that, Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury and here we see the non-verbal communication through the so-called sixth sense, the highly adjusted ability to collect data from the subtlest sources.
